Somebody

The only thing the red Pino has in common with conifers, forests and cones is the shape of the bottle.
In terms of character, it is a calm, refined contemporary that I like to chill out with.

The top note is definitely spicy, but quickly fades. I can clearly recognize nutmeg and also the citrusy part, thyme holds back.
Lavender quickly joins in and blends with saffron and the base notes, none of which I can explicitly smell, to create a dry paper scent on my skin, which is joined by a delicate barbershop vibe with varying intensity, not harsh but slightly sweet.

I think of my grandpa's shaving soap, lathered up with a real hair brush, and how he used to tell stories "from the old days" after the procedure, smelling fragrant and wrapped up in his gray cardigan, just like I'm telling you this story now.
This is how Amber Woods meanders along and creates a quiet sense of well-being without ever making me think of amber or woods.

I really like it despite its weak sillage and longevity.

The coincidence wanted it that I "stumbled" not so long ago online about this fragrance.
A short search at Parfumo later he was bagged, not least because of the flacon.
Simple and yet with a wink, the smoke bunting lid, which in my opinion confidently past the kitsch.
In addition, the 80s have me dufttechnisch preformed and brought forth some perfumes that I still love - if they still exist.
After Romeo Gigli passed by me unnoticed at the time, this experience should now be made up for.

Romeo is clearly a child of his time, which makes itself richly antiquated in today's fragrance landscape.
He is as expected absolutely not sweet and also the citrusy parts of the top note pass me by unnoticed.
I feel him from the outset as quite herbaceous-herbaceous and find once again that Tagetes, which in our area is also called "Stinkerle", in all fragrances that contain it, develops on me rather unattractive.
All the wonderful flowers like freesia, cassia, iris or rose, which I love so much individually, can unfortunately not turn the tide in their entirety.

Nevertheless, Romeo has an opulent fullness that exerts a certain fascination on me.
The intense orange Chloe comes to mind, which was launched in the seventies by Karl Lagerfeld. Here there are certain olfactory parallels for me.
Although I wouldn't buy Romeo for its characterful scent, it draws me in in a sentimental way with so many memories and associations that it was worth buying for that reason alone.
And the bottle with its pretty lid always elicits a smile from me.

The wind blows where it wants.

A gloomy autumn Sunday, the morning foggy and cold, but body and soul demand space and movement.
So we set off into the nearby forest.

I treat myself before setting out still few sprays Pure Oudi under the outdoor clothing and love it when a delicate breath of it steals out from under the scarf again and again and rises in my nose.
Although it's not so delicate to begin with. He starts spicy-woody and as with some oud fragrances a tiny bit medicinal, but this soon settles.
In the autumnal forest, it is a wonderfully harmonious companion, which fits in perfectly with its fine warm-spicy woody note.
A gust of wind rains yellow, red and brown colored leaves on us. I will associate this image with the scent of Pure Oudi for a long time.
After our outing, the scent has become more full-bodied, amber and balsamic, and I know it will stay that way for hours, staying with me late into the evening.
Perhaps even as I fall asleep, a delicate resinous breeze will rise to my nose and let me drift gently into the realm of dreams.

Pure Oudi is an unobtrusive, flattering unisex fragrance, m.E. also well suited for people who have problems with strict oud. The heavy bottle with real wooden cap is beautiful and valuable. In the fragrance itself also decoratively floats a piece of (eagle?) Wood. Top I find also the super price-performance ratio.

After I have dedicated a few sentences to the fragrance, which is very similar to this one for my sensation, I also want to describe Le Parfum briefly.

Weil has a long tradition as a fragrance house and launched, for example, with Antelope, Weil de Weil and Zibeline some more famous perfumes. Unfortunately, the current creations do not seem to have succeeded in following up on past successes and so this fragrance, according to my research, only released in 2019, is apparently already discontinued.

The following fragrance notes can be found in addition:
Head: Orange, orange blossom, bergamot
Heart: jasmine, rose
Base: patchouli, vanilla, tonka bean

These largely coincide with its fragrance twin Alkimia by Guru, which is said to have been launched back in 2013, and the development is also almost identical.
Le Parfum begins juicy-orangy and develops increasingly floral with an in between very light soapy touch before it becomes very nice powdery. The sillage is close to the body and I feel the fragrance as restrained and feminine, but quite long lasting.
The bottle is worlds nicer than the square block of Guru and fits very well to the content.

Also Le Parfum is currently still for small money to get.

should get the fragrance already.
Not because that corresponds to the durability. The is namely not so bad.
Rather, because Alkimia has never brought it to notoriety and will bring, although the name leans on the great fragrances (Alchimie of Rochas, Alkemie of Laboratorio Olfattivo) and I am therefore curious about this currently still very cheap to have perfume.

The start is juicy-fruity with clearly perceptible orange, which in the course gets a floral impact, from which I can filter out especially jasmine. A tiny smoky-caramel note joins in and awakens slightly oriental associations before the fragrance creeps away gently powdered.
The whole remains restrained sweet and skin, is pleasantly unspectacular and suitable for everyday use and has a twin, which he resembles at least in the initial phase like one egg to the other: Le Parfum by Weil.
The bottle is simple and solid, the packaging thoughtful and practical. On it is the notice "use twice a day" applied and after two, three hours you can already refill, if you want to have something of it.

That's about it. It may enjoy it, who can - and wants.
