The scent starts off a bit surprised like a classic cologne (e.g. like 4711). And now please don't groan - it gets much better!

I only catch a glimpse of lemon or even neroli from the brief opening when I thought I smelled 4711.

The top note is fresh ripe mandarin. Similar to how one would peel a mandarin fresh!
It later slightly reduces, and a fine noble black tea scent comes in. The sillage is very close to the body and doesn't last too long on the skin. It smells in the dry down like having passed by a tea shop, where the door was left open to the outside and a mandarin tea infusion was just made.
A typical Asian scent: Never too strong (Most Asians do not like overpowering fragrances) but wonderfully fine!
Fineness, not overwhelming!

Conclusion: A subtle, uplifting, fresh, and fruity tea scent for everyday wear and also for the office!
Beautiful in every season!

Mrs. Guerlain's New!

I took the fragrance, which is intended only for lingerie or simply underwear (neither female nor male, according to Wikipedia), for a tough test as a man.

This scent smells exactly as I imagined it would before the test:

sweet - powdery - clean - light - fresh

The fragrance remains relatively constant and changes little over time. In the end, it fades out consistently.



As for the notes:
The iris has made a very slight appearance and has only briefly bloomed.
The sweet, lovely rose is a young bud and very well-behaved in its quiet corner.
The sandalwood provides a nice base for the lingerie to rest upon.
Musk and ambrette (musk seed oil) show up gently at the end as it fades.

However, I actually want to evaluate the Eau de Lingerie as a whole:

It is a lovely little water that gives every lady (and perhaps every gentleman?) the opportunity to let their intimate wear enjoy a beautiful existence.
Eau de Lingerie certainly does this. Moreover, EdL also smells quite pleasantly lovely.

Unfortunately, only in the lingerie drawers and not on the skin.


Have fun with the new one, Mrs. Guerlain.

Another perspective on fetish:
A guy in black leather chaps, the leather harness shines deep black, a strong torso emerges for seconds. In the dark room, which is sparsely lit with a hint of red, the outlines of male bodies can be seen. There is a tearing tension in the air. Almost like before a summer storm. Men let themselves go. Waves of emotion swell. Desire reigns. Fresh sweat and humid warmth hit my nose for seconds...This is Darkroom. This is Fetish.

It has been a long time since I immersed myself in WAA during my younger years. The scent of green tomatoes and their plants in our garden always impressed me greatly. And now this fragrance...

Until recently, I had forgotten about this scent and had let many other fragrances pass me by. But about 3 weeks ago, while tidying up in the farthest corner of the bathroom cabinet, I found something very small. It was a sample vial of WAA. I carefully opened the little bottle - and it was back: the memory of when I.....

Unfortunately, the fragrance is no longer available forever, and I can only indulge in memories of it - how beautiful!

I have made the following observation with the No 5 EdT:

Before I fall asleep, I spray 3 "finger presses" of No 5 EdT in my sleeping chamber (so to speak as a room fragrance) and somehow I fall asleep more relaxed - I don't know why but it works! Thank you Coco!

I find the scent to be heavily sweet yet still worthy of admiration for a man!

Pft, pft, pft.....snore... ;-)
