Schalkerin

Perfumer H Patchouli, created by Lyn Harris. She wants to make a difference in the perfume world.
Back to Nature is her motto. Her fragrances are made from the finest, natural raw materials,
that can be obtained. The bottles are a dream, mouth-blown and refillable.

A noble scent, not very loud. Black pepper, for me the scent is not peppery at all and
Galbanum starts this beautiful journey. Ylang Ylang forms the heart with Patchouli leading to the base
with cedarwood, musk, and amber. Somewhere, there are probably also cyclamen hiding, hmm, I haven't
found any.
A cool scent, wearable all year round. For me, it's ideal as a summer fragrance, for winter it’s
too quiet.
It would be interesting to visit the London store, which is probably both a lab and a
workspace. I imagine that to be super exciting.
I can recommend a test to any Patchouli fan.
In any case, this green-tinged Patchouli scent is quite different.

Kemi (Chemi) or Kemet, as the ancient Egyptians called their land, means black earth and is said to refer to the black, very fertile mud that remained when the Nile flooded the land annually. Hence, the word alchemy is believed to derive from it.

Alchemy emerged in the 1st-2nd century and was a branch of magic. Alchemists experimented with all sorts of metals and mysterious substances and held a high status.

Inspired by the powerful Egyptian sorcerers and alchemists, the Italian perfume house Kemi Al Kemiyas brews seductive fragrances and transports us to the Orient with precious raw materials and elixirs made in the old tradition. The nose behind Kemi is Chris Maurice. The nobility of the raw materials is immediately perceptible. A fragrance that quickly captivated and enchanted me.
Strong eagle and cedar woods open rather dirty. And yet, there is quickly a slight sweetness, dark caramel pushes its way in and it smells of caramelized oud. The scent becomes sweeter, but before it becomes annoying, Kemi shifts and a subtle animalic note emerges. Just enough to neutralize the sweetness. Leather tones join in. It becomes balsamic and soft. Finally, it ends with woody vanilla.
A sensual and erotic fragrance that is very versatile and special. And - lasts for many hours.
Be a little more sparing with the dosage.
Wishlist!

I had to wait four years for my season ticket. The waiting list was long. And then, finally. Happy and excited, I set off around noon. Plenty of time to take everything in and marvel at it. I had stood in front of the arena so many times, without a chance to get inside. Compared to the "old" Parkstadion, although very loved, this was pure luxury.
No more putting a garbage bag over my head in the rain. No more running track and plenty of beer and food stalls. And - clean restrooms. The arena stands very high, and from the upper tier, there’s a view over half of the Ruhr area. Dreamily beautiful.
Then into the block, first getting to know all the fans around me. Someone smelled good here. Occasionally, a nice scent wafted over. Singing the club anthem, then it started. I discreetly sniffed my neighbors, hmm. Here we go.
33rd min. Goal, 0:1 for Kaiserslautern. Shit. Then, 79th min. Larsen GOAL 1:1, relief and joy. We all embraced, there it was again, hmm. And then, 83rd min GOAL Kristajic 2:1 Schalke. We hugged, danced, and cheered. Again, a wonderful scent wafted over to me. It was the Schalke fan behind me.
Final whistle. We won. As most people had already left, I sat there a bit longer and looked over to the North Curve, where the fans were still celebrating with the team.
Behind me a voice, "Are you coming here often?" I could smell it again. "Sure, got a season ticket." "Well, that's great, then we'll see each other often here." We chatted for a few minutes, then we went to the train together. "Do you live in Ge?" "No, in Wanne Eickel." "Me too, then we can go together next time." "Yeah, sure, but only if you wear that nice scent again." "Do you like it?" "Very much, what’s it called?" "Nightflight." "But don’t forget!"
Two weeks later, it smelled great behind me again. 1:1 against BMG. Schalke finished fourth at the end of the season. The first one was done.

Nightflight is a great scent. It's a shame it was discontinued. Light, fresh, and fruity, with pineapple and lemon, a great combination. Lavender and juniper, floral and spicy. The base is subtly woody and ambery, while the top note never completely disappears. That impressed me. The scent and the wearer. A fantastic stadium scent.

At the popular beach Playas de Guardalavaca, evening had fallen and it was still very warm. The beach bars were filled. Hot rhythms echoed over. Caribbean drums, accompanied by exotic instruments. Bodies swayed erotically to the salsa. They were sweating. In that moment, Habanita strolled by. With long black hair, head held high and swaying hips. Everyone stared at her. The skin of her warm body shimmered and the men couldn’t take their eyes off her. The wonderful scent of her perfume was noticeable to all. A delicate floral scent, almondy with patchouli and musk. Habanita knew she was desired. Wherever she appeared, men surrounded her. The gazes that followed her saw how she moved further away. Left behind was a hint of vanilla.

Cuba is the largest Caribbean island. An island nation with around 11.5 million inhabitants, including smaller islands. Cuba was under Spanish colonial rule for a long time and is governed socially. Year-round temperatures hover around 30-34 degrees Celsius. The sea is warm too, 24-28 degrees Celsius. A wonderful vacation destination. With fantastic beaches, like Playa Pilar, with 15-meter high, solid dunes. Playa Tortiga, the turtle beach, or Playas de Guardalavaca, a beach loved by locals and tourists alike. There are also many secluded beaches if you want some peace and quiet.
The capital, La Habana, has about 1.1 million inhabitants. Famous are the approximately 140,000 vintage cars left behind by Americans and lovingly maintained. The Cubans are very poor, but that does not diminish their joy of life. Music is everywhere, and people dance and celebrate in the streets. A truly friendly people.
In Santa Clara, the national monument, a statue of the leader of the rebel army during the Cuban Revolution, Ernesto CHE Guevara, can be admired.

Cuban cigars, Habaneros, and Cuban rum are also beloved. Coffee is grown as well. A lot of coffee is consumed, and a cup of Cafecito is always welcome, no matter what time it is.

The green oasis of Cuba is the Valle de Vernales, a nature reserve about 10 km long and 4 km wide. One side of Cuba faces Mexico, the other side faces Haiti.
You can expect about 11 flight hours from Frankfurt am Main to Havana.

A beautiful island for vacationing. Everything the heart desires is there.
Hopefully, Corona will be over soon. Writing this makes me really long for travel.

Black Gemstone, a fragrance that immediately captivated and enchanted me upon spraying. In an instant, I was on a fantastic journey into a dark, gloomy, oriental night. Strange voices, strange sounds, and scents.

With my eyes closed, I lie on the couch and let my imagination run wild. Vacation memories blend with dreams, and I can't keep my wrist away from my nose. At some point, I fell into bed, freshly sprayed, and the dreams continued.
A wonderful experience.

The next morning upon waking, the first thing I did was wrist - nose. Indeed, the scent had lasted. And even a few hours later, it was still perceptible and beautiful.
An incredibly good longevity.

The first impression is barely noticeable lemon and burnt wood, followed strongly by incense. A wonderful opening. Myrrh and wonderful resins make it warm, soft, and balsamic.
After a while, it becomes delightfully sweet with vanilla and tonka.
It lasts for many hours. An absolute delight.

Just as beautiful as the fragrance is the bottle, which fits it perfectly.
Black, heavy, and noble, just like its contents.

A fragrance that fascinates.

Dear Medianus76, thank you so much for this wonderful fragrance sample.
