Senses

In Woman is a repurchase after I had already bought it in early autumn 2016. Back then, as a reward for starting a new job at the Berlin C., In Woman became my daily companion in the workday and in leisure amidst the hustle and bustle of Berlin. I associate and continue to associate many beautiful and exciting memories and experiences from that time, from autumn 2016 to winter 2018, with this fragrance.
Now it was time to repurchase this lovely scent. But how does In Woman smell?
For me, it has always smelled of the juiciest, most luscious blackcurrant, which quickly transitions into a fine chocolate melt with the softest warm vanilla. This chocolate-vanilla accord is supported by a slightly green-herbaceous Chypre accord that completes the entire fragrance in the base.
The longevity was 8 hours back then; now the scent has diminished to 5 hours with moderate sillage.

In general, a woman should test this fragrance if she enjoys sweet scents.
I give it a full recommendation and a nostalgia point on top.

This little fragrance from the Centaur drugstore strongly reminds me of a group of girls aged around 17 to 19, preparing for the evening's event after receiving their high school diplomas: the prom.
The mid-length and long dresses in light, dark, and bright colors rustle, the tanned legs are clad in light tights, and the varying heights of the women's shoes click across the parquet floor.
Above this, the scent of light makeup, the smell of hairspray from the beautifully styled hair of the young ladies, and indeed this fragrance wafts.
Electric Rose Eau de Parfum starts off boldly sweet with chocolate and rose, somewhat kitschy and over-the-top. Almost like the feelings of the young graduates on this evening. After a while, the scent settles, becoming fresher and less sweet. The mood of the soon-to-be former students calms down over the course of the evening, especially when the softer songs play and people are tired from dancing.
The fragrance lingers in a mix of chocolate, fresh rose, and light patchouli, quietly settling like the warm summer night, in which the silence of the preceding life chapter ends and a new life chapter begins.
Indeed, a fragrance for graduates and all other young women who have passed their first major exam in life.

Red Velvet Eau de Toilette, what a promising name! Immediately, associations of soft, reddish scent clouds and an evening sky filled with red cotton candy swirl in my mind.
And the fragrance pyramid!
Synthetic strawberries, radiant orange blossom, gourmand notes, and cream. If that isn't a secret scent dream for gourmand lovers!

I must admit, I have tested many of the other fragrances from the "Pink Sugar" brand, but none appealed to me as much as this scent here.

The opening is very cotton candy-like-strawberry and completely synthetic. But in a skillful way, not at all disturbing or overpowering. Then comes a smooth transition to the soft, caramel-like gourmand note and bright, yet subtly present orange blossom. It gourmandizes softly for hours until it culminates in a creamy-strawberry finish. The longevity of Red Velvet Eau de Toilette is over 9 hours, which is sensational for a fragrance from the lifestyle segment.
The scent can be worn at any time of day or night, except in the height of summer when temperatures exceed 25 degrees.

...said the trainee in his second year of library studies at Humboldt University in Berlin to me, as we took the elevator to the top floor for my "trial run" before the interview. The view from the very top over the unusually beautiful Berlin in April was fantastic.
My trial run, where I was supposed to retrieve two very different non-fiction books from two different floors in the Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Center using only a note that indicated the locations of the books, also went very well. The supervisor and timekeeper, namely the trainee I had contact with the entire morning until the end of the interview, told me that no one had ever found the two requested media as quickly and brought them to the desired location as I did.
I still remember both media well; one was a short essay about the necessity of saving the climate now. Otherwise, there would soon be no habitable Earth left. The other book was from the time after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but dealt with a very outdated topic: "Negro music is the key to the decline of the West!". I skimmed both monographs briefly to get an idea of their contents.
Upon arriving on the top floor, I opened one of the tall, narrow, tilting windows - the April day in Berlin was linden-blossom fragrant and somewhat earthy, just like Believe has been for a long time - and jokingly said to my supervisor: "What if I just jumped down here now?" It was all just a joke; he had the fright, I had the fun.
The conversation then didn't go as amusingly, but that's irrelevant now. Long live the linden-blossom vitality of Believe on a beautifully April day in Berlin or elsewhere.

Hello everyone,

Since I just had the chance to test "Goddess | Burberry," here are my impressions.
The lavender in the top note is not beautiful or calming, but rather masculine and quite weak. Weak in projection, and overall, the lavender in "Goddess | Burberry" smells more like a man than a woman. The vanilla and the other notes, which are supposed to be sweet, hardly come through for me. All I can smell besides the masculine lavender is a faint powdery note and something woody in the background. No trace of cocoa absolute or vanilla. The sweet notes have probably been simply squashed aside by the dominant alpha lavender.
The sillage is also very shy, but the longevity is enormous. The price/performance ratio is far below average.
