I recently found a sample with a familiar label in my shopping bag. I was looking forward to it, because my last bottle of "Alien (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" had tipped over this winter. Then I read "Extraintense" in bewilderment...

"Hmm... what are you wearing today?" Awkward silence. Nah, I'm not putting the name "Ménage à Trois | Zarkoperfume" in the room. However, this fragrance is also not a candidate for overly frequent requests. It is close to a hug, not a room...

Somehow, "Toni | Toni Gard" is a niche perfume: somewhere in the niche between the cheap star waters and the mainstream designer fragrances behind the closed glass doors. The packaging doesn't immediately scream for attention either, but rather...

Without "Angel Fantasm | Mugler" I would not have come across "A*Men Fantasm | Mugler". I was so curious about the coconut note in combination with the Angel DNA and then disappointed because I didn't perceive either as I would have wished. So, what...

Until now, Zadig & Voltaire has been completely under my radar. Despite the eye-catching bottle, it would probably have passed me by this time too, but I really wanted to test a new everyday fragrance for spring. And I thought the opening was really...

Minus 6 degrees outside and a chilly living room: This literally calls for firing up the oven and "By the Fireplace | Maison Margiela" A few spritzes later, I'm in the winter retro vibe: a cozy ski lodge in Chamonix, crackling fire,...

While looking for inspiration for a winter fragrance, I came across Goldfield & Banks - a brand I was not yet familiar with. It was a good first encounter, because I found all the fragrances in the Native Collection interesting. But then...

During my teenage years in the 90s, "Angel (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" was everywhere, including me. And I always think back to my first perfume with slight nostalgia. For me, most of the "offshoots" of the original Angel are somewhere between...

She made her way across the festival grounds, between camping barbecues and smoking rockers. Her long dark hair laid in perfect waves, the white lace dress clung to her body and the skirt caressed every movement of her legs. Wherever she went,...

Unfortunately, the summer vacation is almost over, but I had a great time with my teenager. This year we were in the mountains - and happened to end up in the "Empress" theme again and again. It all started when our vacation apartment...

With some quite complex (and usually rather expensive) fragrances, I don't really have the words for a suitable review. And so I'm trying for the umpteenth time to describe "Draco" and do it justice. The dragon came to me this spring...
