In moments of thought through the thicket of flowers and berries in late summer in the late afternoon.
Right from the start of application, I enjoy the fresh tobacco, even though I’m not particularly fond of tobacco notes. It even feels relaxing, and this note here is very beautiful. I then reach for the sample again and gently apply another drop - and another drop. I can hardly set the sample aside quickly enough to bring my hand to my nose.
Here I would already say that it is the most beautiful and intense moment of the fragrance.
Another beautiful moment is provided by the aromatic berries and the ylang, as well as the honeysuckle, which brings a softly bright sweetness and creates a slightly floral, tipsy note in this combination. Gentle threads of smoke weave through the slightly tipsy note and give the fragrance a certain depth.
Here, a longer longevity can be perceived for several hours, and it depends on oneself how much one applies to which areas or if one reapplies.
Honeysuckle
The air is warm, a sweet hint
of heavy fragrance wafts through the hedges,
through lush, summery green,
where the honeysuckle flowers hide.
With slender growth and white chalice,
it entwines bushes and berry hedges -
stunningly sweet summer scent,
a winding, climbing hide-and-seek.
Lilo Gerstenberg
(*1923), German lyricist, watercolor painter
In our region, the garden honeysuckle is also called Jelängerjelieber, and the longer I engage with this fragrance, the more I like it;-)
Thanks to Fluxit for the testing opportunity.
"Love Potion" and "In the Brambles" are my favorites from this test series, and I would definitely wear them at home or just take a fragrance break from my usual scents.
Test series: Lavender Noir, Lotus Pollinator, Twilight Green, Love Potion, Ka Pueo, Vanilla & The Sea, Meadow & Fir, and In The Brambles.

The caravan moves on, the Sultan would have a fit?
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, I saw the sharing from the sharing view, read the fragrance notes, and was now curious about what the Italians wanted to convey to me with this scent. I can remember associating incense with my communion.
As a child, the incense in church made me feel quite ill, and I would have preferred to flee.
Through Parfumo, I became aware of incense again through various fragrances and experience incense differently today.
However, I was able to learn more about the origin of incense by reading on Wiki (term: Incense Route).
My recommendation: read about the significance of incense, its beginnings and golden age, as well as the reasons for its decline.
Inspired by the fragrance intention of Arte Profumi and AlzD, I was reminded of a very popular song lyric by Höhner, and so it came to be...
About the scent itself: in this fragrance, there is a caravan with resin and myrrh, it can confuse, the Sultan would have no fit and stay at home, the caravan does not want to travel further and stays at Kabänes and does not want to go to any other Kaschämm, shame.
The sillage on the skin dances around you again and again, and after about six hours, it should be reapplied. I have not yet tested its longevity on clothing.
Conclusion: My soul likes this scent.
I think of tobacco and plum, but they are not present.
For the fans of punchy and explosive fragrances, I recommend a generous application of the scent.

A Spear of Marshmallows for Ari
and my first comment :)
Today is a day for Ari, hurricane-force winds are sweeping across Germany and it has been raining for what feels like twenty-four hours straight. It’s Altweiberfastnacht.
Think Pink and make yourself cozy... until the sun shines and then go out.
Ari is very sweet and delicious.
It starts off refreshingly with a lovely juicy pear carried by a juicy grapefruit.
A gentle lily of the valley joins in with a raspberry, both remain refreshed
by the rosebud "Mini Eden",
which usually doesn’t fully bloom and thus doesn’t wilt.
The vanilla orchid continues to caress the pear, which in turn keeps the big marshmallow in check with bright woods and light musk.
I recommend applying the fragrance sparingly and carrying it in your handbag. There is also a matching hair fragrance available.
A comfort on cold and wet days when you want your sweets to go through your nose again.
In my view, it is a fragrance for young and young-at-heart ladies, of which I still count myself among, who want to show their juicy, sweet side with the signature of a scent.
I don’t know Ariana Grande, I became aware of her through the fragrance and I rarely snack on marshmallow gummies but beware...
