I discovered Byredo Animalique through the rapper Future.

When I arrived at Breuninger, I tried the fragrance right away, but at first I couldn’t make anything of it.

The leather note was very strong, almost animalic :D, yet very rounded and clean.

I kept smelling my arm, and I became increasingly familiar with the fragrance. Over time, the leather note feels soft and dark.

Definitely not a fragrance for every day or everyone, but it is excellent on cold days, as the cold rounds out Animalique even further.

Blonde Amber is a wonderful and beautifully composed fragrance. I am usually skeptical when there are too many ingredients, but this scent is very elegant and feels luxurious.

At first, there is a rum-like note that repeatedly amazes me with how clean the fragrance actually is.

Vanilla and amber become stronger over time, while a light tobacco note makes it slightly smoky and mature.

Blonde Amber is truly a well-rounded fragrance from beginning to end, one that earns many compliments and is especially popular with women.

The packaging and bottle are well done, naturally a little expensive in terms of price, but still special.

By chance, I came across Clive Christian and of course I tried Blonde Amber first. When I liked it so much, but realized that it isn't suitable for summer or spring, the nice lady at Breuninger also gave me Crab Apple Blossom to try.

When I saw the bottle, I initially thought of something fruity and sweet, with excessive sillage and longevity.

But then I noticed how elegant and subtle the fragrance is. The gentle apple note that does full justice to the name is really great and makes the fragrance an absolute all-rounder and daily wear.

When I don't want to wear perfume, but still don't want to start the day completely scentless, I use Crab Apple Blossom, as it isn't too overpowering.

Great fragrance, of course not a bargain price-wise, but I can still recommend it.

Tom Ford Extreme Noir was a gift that I initially accepted with delight, but then felt somewhat skeptical about, as I knew nothing about the fragrance and had never encountered Tom Ford before.

The golden packaging already looks very pompous and somewhat overdone. I didn't really know what to expect, as I was also unfamiliar with the perfume's composition.

I then sprayed it onto the top of my arm for the first time, and the fragrance immediately revealed its dark, spicy, slightly smoky aura, which instantly impressed me.

Surprised and curious at the same time, I sprayed it once more onto my neck and immediately felt enveloped in the dark and mystical cloud surrounding me.

Over time, it becomes warmer and creamier. A slight sweetness and caramel can be detected.

The longevity is very good. If I spray it on in the morning, I can still smell the fragrance on my skin in bed in the evening. Even the bed linen retains a warm and sweet caramel note.

Tom Ford Extreme Noir is my absolute favorite gourmand and, during the colder months, is my absolute favorite and is preferred over my many other fragrances for every special occasion.

The extreme black stands out from the crowd and is a truly excellent fragrance.
