Toscarielle

When I read the notes of Invite only Amber, I immediately had to order a bottling. With the black cherry it was directly around me. Then still the great sounding sweet components...Cinnamon, Schoki, roasted hazelnut... that had to be simply heavenly!

No sooner said than done. Filling arrived, taken directly with to Dad and tested together... the first conclusion of Paps : "Oh.... the is good" :D

(I was of course directly Hin and way. This juicy cherry (which I love from lost cherry/popped cherry), which is in the foreground, and is surrounded by the autumnal treats, just beautiful. And long lasting to boot!
A perfect scent for the colder days to snuggle up in :)

Dad said more and more often, after each smell "Man, he's really good!"...and then it was clear to both of us that this fragrance hermuss. Dad, who actually first wanted to buy no more fragrances, had to admit to himself that he still needed this one, and I, who also wants to step on the brakes for months, came to the same conclusion.

So we have at least times agreed to wait until Sephora again offers a discount promotion to shoot the treasure a little cheaper. And as fate would have it, it should already be a week later so far. Weekend Deals, 20% discount slammed.

Now we both have this really beautiful bottle (!!!) in our showcases and again it became clear that we are fragrance-technically simply on a wavelength. ❤️

By the way, IOA is declared as a women's fragrance, but we find him definitely unisex. I would even almost say that he stands dad better than me. :)

I visited on vacation in Mallorca the LV store on a trip in Palma to sniff times at the fragrances.
The only one I knew so far, was the great Ombre Nomade - which I really liked only after repeated testing and fits more to my friend than to me.

Quickly after entering the store, a friendly saleswoman approached me and began to advise. I was at first really surprised with how much expertise she went there ran, she could enumerate the notes of the different fragrances and really well describe how they smell and how they will develop over the course of the day. I guess I had come to a like-minded person!
She asked me what my favorite scents were to wear, I met her with SWEET AND FRUITY !!! ?
Immediately she took Attrape-Rêves in hand, sprayed in on a pretty LV card and gave it to me.
Wow... the opening was already blowing my mind. This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted. Full blast sweet but toned down and rounded out with lychee (which I've adored since Delina anyway) and ginger.
She also sprayed a spritz on my arm so I could make out the scent on my skin as well.
I then left the store, thanked me warmly and did not think until that time that I need this fragrance, let alone spend 225€ on it :D

But it came as it had to come ... again and again I caught myself smelling my arm. In shops, at dinner, on the drive back to the hotel. He wouldn't let go of me! (It became more and more floral and soft towards the base... a dream!)
When he was then in the evening after the shower still there I made a decision. I need this fragrance.

So two days later I took another 40 minute bus ride to Palma to buy it there :) I would have regretted it so much if I hadn't!

Definitely expensive fun, but it just blew me away.
In my opinion, by the way, it has none of the good life of Lancome. I find that LVEB is too often compared to sweet fragrances and put on a par with them. Wrongly! Attrape-Rêves is just great made and insanely good quality.

I'm glad to have tested this dreamcatcher and let myself be convinced by it - it is now a great jewel of my collection!

I got a sample Eden-Roc surprisingly sent by Dior for my birthday - and was already very happy about this great gesture!

Curious, I sprayed it on me and immediately held my nose to my arm.
At first I smelled only citrus.
Strong lemon, bergamot, something like that... me personally much too pungent and too much.

I thought "Oh that's not going to work", then smelled it again, and then recognized the salty, mineral notes in the background, which slowly fought their way to the front.
These then suddenly made the fragrance more exciting and offbeat for me.

After some time, they then unfolded completely and the fragrance is just perfect for warm / hot days!
The mixture of lemon, salt and also the sea pine, which gives a touch of green, reminds of summer, vacation and sea.... I would wear Eden-Roc to the beach, by the pool, to dinner...that it will be a great summer memory :)

About the durability, I can say: very good for a Dior Privée!
I applied it to me in the evening at 10 pm and could still perceive it well in the morning, which I can not say about other fragrances of the series.
The sillage is not outstanding or even room-filling, but for a summer fragrance it does not have to be.

For a long time I was looking for a perfect fragrance for hot days, which does not overpower or suffocate you - With Eden-Roc I have found this!

Wow, that I write times the first comment on a fragrance, I would also not have thought. But CRF is so wonderful that it has to be!

Quick info at the beginning: DUA says that CRF is masculine/unisex. Means for me: Unisex, but rather going in the masculine direction.
At first I was a little put off by it, but since I know both fragrances (MFK Baccarat Rouge + Xerjoff Naxos), both find great, I thought to myself, it's worth a tryout.

And it was really worth it!!!
The scent is really great and special.

I couldn't exactly imagine what this concoction would be like. Do I smell one scent rather in the top note, the other then later in the heart and in the base?
Do I smell both at the same time?
How the hell will the probably smell?

The answer is, it really is the perfect blend of both scents.
Initially, only Naxos is present with its fresh, citrus top note.
After some time, then unfolds the wonderful, typical sweetness of Baccarat Rouge. This remains in the background, but is super perceptible.
This mix of freshness and sweetness is insanely good and totally special!
Both fragrances are on point and through their mixture a super fragrance was created.

Durability is a 10/10.
Dua-faithful to perceive incredibly long, but still never disturbing or otherwise.

I would say in summary that this hybrid of Baccarat Rouge and Naxos is 100% to be recommended and can be ordered confidently blind. He is completely unisex.
I had admittedly no huge hopes, but am now just glad that I own him!

So, now I hope that I have encouraged one or the other to test and look forward to more comments :)

Wow. Intense Café is a little experience. In times like these, when visiting a café seems impossible, it briefly gives you back that great feeling of meeting a friend for coffee.

It starts with a delicious, juicy rose. Immediately the coffee comes in, an insanely TOLE note, not latte or anything like that, but more like opening a packet of fresh coffee and sniffing it. Really super gourmandig!
The coffee is only briefly noticeable in the top note, which is totally okay with me. I think, he would accompany me all day, he would be me in the long run possibly boring and not have this great kick, as at the beginning.

Later, the fragrance becomes sweeter and more vanilla. The rose is constantly there and fits wonderfully into this delicious composition!

I can really recommend Intense Café. He gives me the feeling to bite (or here rather to drink up) to smell and holds the G A N Z E N day, is with me even after the shower sometimes still noticeable. ;-)

Let's hope that we can soon wear this fragrance again to drink coffee with friends.
