... in donkey milk - probably due to a lack of alternatives. For if she had known this little fragrance, she would likely have had her bathtub filled with it. Almond-milky bittersweetness, delicate sugary creaminess, and caramelized foam - a truly royal delight for gourmand lovers!

The Mille Miglia is considered the most famous classic car rally in the world - and Nostalgia is likely the perfect companion for it: A fragrance dedicated to a car race.

But it contains everything: The rubber of the tires with its signs of wear, a dab of engine oil, leather-covered seats. And not to forget the beautiful Mediterranean landscape of Italy through which the route winds. A few citrusy splashes and creaky Hesperides trees, under which one can perfectly take a cigarette break in the warmth of the early summer sun.

Very nice and very special. Masculine and possessing a certain resemblance to Annick Menardo's masterpiece Bulgari Black. However, Black here is more like the trendy bling-bling brother while this candidate is the rugged man-man. And it also maintains an air of understatement. Impressive.

Cheerful leather scents are rare. And they often tend to drift into a cardboard-sweet territory. VIP Room is an exceedingly successful example that it can be done differently: Tropical fruits and opulent Tiaré blossom convey a South Sea feeling, while subtly sweet suede notes fancy and flirtatiously take on the role of the seducer, making the fragrance an elegant and quite erotic scent for confident women. Or men, as the fragrance is equally suitable for bold ones.

Usually, one has a bad feeling when hearing about signature scents from more or less trendy locales - VIP Room effortlessly disproves any reservations.

It's a real shame that the fragrance has been limited to 3000 already sold-out copies - because unfortunately, there is nothing comparable out there.

Here it is, the contemplative R-rated version of a frankincense fragrance: Dry, deep dark-woody, subtly resinous and smoky, actually more - smoldering. Frankincense glow. You can't get more frankincense than this. One doesn't often experience something so authentic, beautiful, and sublime. A perfect and unfortunately completely underrated scent.
