Swansch

Despite the oppressive heat, she had chosen to spend the day by the sea. She had decided to spend the afternoon in the shade of the lush garden. There in the hammock, next to the blooming jasmine, she dozed, stretched out lazily (when she noticed...

Spring 2017, the first weeks of my pregnancy. Fortunately, unlike all the other female family members, I was spared from severe, hospital-stay-inducing nausea. I still felt a bit queasy, though. And above all: spraying my fragrances was out of the question....

"The Silk" doesn't actually smell like skin. And yet it does. It actually smells like silk. Silkily, the fragrance wraps around its wearer. It primarily smells of vanilla (orchid) and tonka bean. But anyone expecting something overly sweet...

This wonderful scent is a dream. Fluffy, powdery, delicate... - almost my signature. However, only in spring. In summer? Way too overwhelming. In autumn? Please not! Way too sour. In winter? Way too delicate. I don't know. But on me, it only...

First of all: I have great difficulty naming (women's) fragrances as erotic. Most of the time, I find them cozy, striking, or sweet, where others rave about an electrifying attraction. So I simply categorize fragrances into "Like" and "Dislike."...

Womanity was released in 2010. What fragrance trend was popular at that time? Gourmand? Squeaky fruity? I don’t know. But I am sure that if Mugler had presented his vision of femininity five years later, the reviews here would be very different....

I am a passionate wearer of Narciso (EdP). And that, even though I smell the nerve note like so many others do. But I still love the EdP - I can't help it, I'm addicted. Seduced by the softest melt in the base, for which enduring the initial phase...

Two things are not really well received on Parfumo: new releases and flankers. What does today's perfume youth have to offer that an Opium or a Shalimar couldn't also satisfy?! Clearly, Candy Kiss has a tough time here. Unjustly. I even think Candy...

Yes, I should have known better. The comments from my predecessors regarding this fragrance were clear enough. But since someone in the off-topic area claimed that Devil in Disguise would suit the character of Alice from the great series "Luther," I was eager...

We perfume enthusiasts are indeed a peculiar bunch, to be honest. Where else do people argue to the point of blood (figuratively speaking) over what constitutes a niche fragrance, or whether drugstore scents can compete with expensive ones? Some...

I have somehow always lived by the sea. First at the North Sea, then - for my studies - at the Baltic Sea, in between at the Swedish coast, and now I've found my way back to the North Sea. Thus, I can firmly claim that I know the scent of the body...

My father is from East Frisia, my mother is not - that makes me a half-East Frisian. Therefore, I am wonderfully familiar with the tea customs of this region. In Norden, the town where my grandmother lived, there is a tea museum. Instead...
