The topic of expectations has already been touched on here in the reviews. Although I don't have any with "Basilic Purpre", but rather a good deal of curiosity, because what could you possibly imagine with red or purple basil? After all, Hermès opted...

When you enter this garden, where you expect to find mainly gardenias, you are surprised by a full broadside of jasmine. That's no drama and there are definitely worse things, but anyone expecting gardenia will be quite irritated...

With all the flankers, intensities and now also vintages of AdG and AdG Profundo, it's a bit of a challenge to keep track of them all. In principle, I should have gone from the EdT to the EdP and then to the perfume, but a sample of the latter fell...

Fresh, green, citrusy and with only a minimal creakiness, Vettiveru gets straight to the point in the first few seconds. For those who are new to the vetiver theme, it might come across as quite sociable. For vetiver fans who are already...

It's a shame that Sven Pritzkoleit has given up his passion as a perfumer. After all, he has created some remarkable fragrances in the course of his career, such as "Liquorice Vetiver | Parfums Sven Pritzkoleit" or "Sunmilkflowers | Parfums...

One thing is clear: Atelier Cologne has not reinvented the wheel of citrus fragrances with Bergamotte Soleil. In principle, a solid summer fragrance with a bergamot main theme awaits you here. Initially extremely citrusy, somewhat sharp and tangy...

Lira has become something of a prototype for a gourmand fragrance. Full-bodied and voluminous with delicious vanilla vibes. Although the initial phase offers a little citrusy-orangey note for a blink of an eye, it is hardly worth mentioning. The heart...

With this latest offshoot from Elie Saab, I somehow had both high and low expectations at the same time. I wasn't looking for it specifically, but rather discovered it by chance in a perfumery. In the end, the classically designed bottle and the name...

Although Bel Ambre is a typical fall/winter fragrance, I just felt like testing it on a sunny spring day. You can do that, especially as this amber is not too heavy and in no way sweet and pompous. The top notes also include lemon and bergamot,...

As far as I can remember, the #splash at the time was the reason why I could no longer take the Joop brand seriously and from then on no longer cared about further releases. Accordingly, I didn't even register the "Summer Ticket" flanker - probably...

Molinard is a perfume house that, in my opinion, is completely under the radar. On the one hand, this may be due to the fact that they hardly cooperate with influencers or do not actively draw attention to the brand. On the other...
