Sockosophie

Parfums de Marly I got to know, like probably many here about Youtube Influencer.
The house has managed the marketing stroke of genius and really invested in exactly this advertising strategy, has actively approached Youtuber to create hype with you.

Has this strategy borne fruit?
If I look at the top 100 lists on Parfumo times and the awareness of this Nichenhaus compared to all others, Creed times excluded, then that was the best idea you could ever have. The hype is real! So real that they couldn't handle it and drove the quality control to the wall. Everyone who had an old Herod sings a song about what worlds are between. Nevertheless, I've also already got me 5 Marlys in the house and am up to Layton also quite satisfied with it.

To the fragrance itself:

Oajan is probably my second favorite fragrance after Herod and exactly what I imagine under a Gourmand.

Every time I put it on my mouth waters.
This honey, cinnamon, vanilla explosion that also kind of smells like apple to me (I had that association with the 1 Million Privè too, think the food industry broke me there) is so delicious, gooey and inviting that I wouldn't turn down such a fragrant pastry even while dieting.

Unlike the often mentioned little brother the Privè, which I also own and treasure, convinces me here simply the higher quality. Whether it is the osmanthus or the Davana, I'm not so firm in individual notes, one smells a more pleasant composition, softer, warmer and higher quality, almost a little fluffy, despite the heaviness of the fragrance.

I just like everything about Oajan, the sultry top, the drier, though still very sweetly sticky drydown, and also the slightly less opulent base.

Durability / Sillage:

I dare not put Oajan on unless I'm moving outside and it's sub-zero.

Along with Carlisle one of the most powerful Marlys so far and he goes forward like nothing good. If you're unsure if you're overdosing on this one, better take 2 squirts less, you'll be smelled either way, even if you shouldn't be standing right next to you for hours. I was titled a few times as "Running Christmas Market" and that with only 3 timid sprays.

I guess now times cautiously that no one will not know within the first 4-6 hours where you have been when you wear the.
A skin scent will the also not really, sounds maybe after 8 hours softer out but I notice the on the arm even after 14 hours.

Still in addition I never become smell-blind, I can perceive Oajan actually continuously even at me.

Flacon and price / performance:

The Parfums de Marly bottles are definitely eye-catchers, especially Oajan and Carlisle with their glossy and matte black are already lined up as a bit of an eye-catcher in my collection.

The price is justified in my opinion, maybe the similarly constructed Privè's or Dolcelisir's are enough for some, I would still rank the Oajan above you. The Ambre Narguilé I could not sniff so far unfortunately, but think that I am served with a luxury article of this type.


Conclusion:

For friends gourmandiger, infinitely sweet fragrances a must-test in my eyes. Even a 10 ml sample that you can ersouken here should hold out some time.
For the really cold winter day while walking or for example on Christmas Eve a poem.

Oh and for those who are interested: I've received nothing but positive feedback for Oajan so far, more than for any other Marley

With the EdT being one of my favorite scents, you'd think (at least according to some previous speakers) that I'd have to categorically reject this one and cry it out as a watered-down mirage of the original. No dirt, no depth, it's undeniable:

Many parts that make the original such a delight are here in vain.

However: the original,
as perfect as it may be, is just too heavy for me for high summer. Specifically 32 degrees and up. In addition, it has Jean-Claude Ellena here managed to conjure up a smile on my face once again.
My first association with eau très fraîche was a very specific image that popped into my head: if you want to drink a lot more water in the unbearably hot summer, but water alone is too bland, what do you do?

Some now reach for soft drinks or tea, but I for my part,
like to chop up some citrus and pour it in a large carafe of regular tap water.

The longer the carafe sits, the more the water takes on the flavor of the fruit, all it takes is one orange, lemon, lime, tangerine....

Now imagine,
someone pours himself effusively, spilling a not inconsiderable amount over his hands, and in a fit of banter, grinning and with an elegant wave of the hand,
this water finds its way towards your face.

This is what the head of Eau très fraîche smells like to me.

You know those olfactory summer associations?

Sunscreen, chlorine smells, downpours after a long heat wave. Smells that instantly make you think of better times.

That's this orange water for me, that's why Eau très fraiche is such a grin scent with me.
It makes me happy.
It makes me carefree.
He refreshes me, if only briefly.

But now I come to the negative sides, because I have a 125 ml bottle (horrible to use)... and the is almost empty, despite the inner compulsion I feel to wear every day what else.

Where I might go overboard with some fragrances, or with others, light, even times up to 10-12 sprays, it helps nothing with the eau très fraîche.

I bathe in the stuff and it still doesn't last. Half an hour,
after that you have to nibble on my earlobe to perceive the.

Therefore, I will probably not repurchase it, as much as I like to smell it myself. He does not perform what I need for a day fragrance.

Nevertheless, I assign the fragrance an unrestricted love, which must hide, for me not behind the original.

It has me darüberhinaus once again fun to read all these comments before me.
It's great how many write here ellenlange texts to many fragrances, which actually only statements between the lines:

I devote more time to this hobby here and therefore I understand much simply better than you and I am right.

No malicious quips at this point, but if I read that silly toilet bowl comparison one more time with n summer citrus scent, I'll dissolve WC-Frisch 1-to-1 in doppelkorn and wear that the rest of the summer.

I get it, Terre d'Hermès is n timeless masterpiece. But that does not make the flanker nem Lidl perfume Lord. If you feel hurt by something like that in your honor, you take the number here too seriously.

If a perfume had something like "God King" status within the community, it would probably be Aventus.
You can find it however you like, as is well known, the spirits are divided. But each one of us can then still summon up the residual reality of acknowledging the titanic status of this quite fickle beauty.

But if a perfume is so good that the myth calls for an armada of plagiarism, that's even more worrying. Aventus remains the most copied fragrance in the world and the original is increasingly falling into disrepute.

Malicious tongues would claim that Creed in her hubris would cause the fall of her house and they probably wouldn't be completely wrong about that either.

This is a new departure for Explorer, because there has never been a designer clone of Aventus before and it marks a milestone in the history of men's fragrances.
About the fragrance itself:

Explorer starts with a combination of bergamot, ambroxan and akigalawood and if you look at these and other notes you don't necessarily come to the conclusion what is actually tried here.

No pineapple, no apple, no currant and no birch tar, and yet: after the first smell I could have told immediately what this is supposed to be.

Explorer is more synthetic than Aventus, less qualitative, but no less pleasing. The head is indisputably pleasant for untrained noses and a stroke of genius if you consider that "normal" customers do not wait for heart and base, if a fragrance is nonlinear at all.

When it dries a little, the bergamot fades into the background and out comes a typical synthetic men's wood scent, as you can find it in every drugstore. Here everything is missing that makes other clones special

The shelf life is okay 6-7 hours. After one to one and a half hours of mediocre radiance, it goes over to a level close to the skin. For a fresh fragrance at a price quite decent.

In any case, it is immediately appealing, especially in the first hour, but the longer you wear it the more banal it becomes. I actually have enough "crowdpleaser" scents than this one really needed.

Explorer marks a turnaround for me: Aventus is no longer a niche fragrance.
Even if the copy is poor, it is still a copy and shows how much the end of the flagpole has been reached here.

Aventus had a good decade, but perhaps we can now give him a well-deserved rest, let him go down in the annals and wait for the next holy "Grail smell".

The king is dead, long live the king!

....there's no other way to describe the design of Bvlgaris Aqva flacons. The idea is nice, looks good, but where to place it?
And the note that I like the most and unfortunately stays too short in Aqva Amara.

But from the beginning,
of course I got to know this fragrance through the hype it emanates. As I noticed later, our Ferrari driving Pantydrop Influenzer without nutritional value is not less responsible for it.
But since I had kept in mind how outrageously cheap it should be and surprisingly actually got 100+15 ml for less than 40 Euro I ordered it immediately.

Unpacked, sprayed on, briefly waited but immediately put on a grin. What a composition, snappers, I can not say otherwise.

The head with these bitter/salty notes and the mandarin notes were like a slap in the face. In a really pleasant way, I also recognize a little neroli (which is probably due to my intensive use of bright neroli) but here it's more in the background. I like this salty note and since I haven't tested the original Aqva yet, it will probably go into my collection sooner or later, so it should be a little more pronounced in the field.

Then the soapy, floral Neroli note prevails and the fragrance loses, in my opinion, this wonderful Aqva from the beginning. The mandarin is still there and loses itself over the entire course, which is also very linear not, but somehow I lack this juiciness from the beginning.
It's too much towards "shower gel" for me it's almost like Aqva Amara is "dried out".
Very sad, the top note was and is every time a poem.

I would say that it can be worn from 0-99, best at really hot temperatures. More like a summer scent and for outside because it's loud. After 4 splashes I'm really noticeable for 4-6 hours, you shouldn't overdose it at all. I cannot estimate the exact shelf life but I assume a minimum of 10 hours.

All in all a really nice perfume, with some drawbacks but I always like to get it out in summer

If you take a little look at my collection, you might notice that most of the fragrances in it belong to a certain category.

Evil tongues would be provided with words like "suitable for the masses", "unimaginative", "safe" or possibly "redundant", even more evil tongues would scream "Youtuber Designerliste" and what should I say? That would not be wrong in any case, a little elitist thought perhaps, but not wrong.

If you want to accuse me of having chosen fragrances only for their compliment, I would have nothing against it. At the beginning of my journey this was my main goal, but it is still changing, due to several samples that make me a bit poorer every month
This will now build the bridge to Terre d'Hermès. By the way, a pure blind purchase due to the ratings of this forum, at the very beginning of my collecting time (significant, isn't it?) which I really never regretted.

This fragrance never really gave me much positive feedback, but I was immediately and almost manically tied after the first spray. This fragrance was art and has awakened in me the desire to understand art.

The prelude, which by the way varies the most between paper and skin, is sharp, it almost screams at me. It's generally hard for me to sniff out individual components, but the orange/grapefruit here really stands out.
Likewise the "dirt" which I cannot assign already no more certainly.
Over time, the woodiness of vertiver and cedar becomes stronger without pushing the orange and freshness out of the limelight.
I'm actually nobody who sprays the scent on the back of my hand, but at Terre d'Hermès I always catch myself following the course of the scent.


Durability and Sillage are almost perfect for me, you have the first 4 hours minimum a beautiful bell of fragrance around you, which pulls a magical, by myself still perceptible veil behind itself without becoming even a little obtrusive.
I still smell it after 10 hours, even if weaker and very close to the skin. He's quiet and classic. No old men smell but it radiates really elegance, fits rather to I say times "ordered" clothes than to Tanktop and Shorts.
Terre d'Hermès is wearable at any time of the year, it is quasi dictionary-worthy for a signature scent. For my part, however, I can already see in the amber-coloured liquid when this fragrance fits perfectly.

For me, this perfume is the epitome of autumn.
When summer slowly breathes its last life out,
when the hours of sunshine are more towards twilight than being bulging.
This wonderful time before the death of the leaves has really begun and you become melancholic.
Terre d'Hermès is the death of summer,
transience distilled in oil.
