Siesta - how wonderful is this fragrance?
I read about this fragrance some time ago and the ingredients alone sent me into raptures. Honey, lemon, lavender... Only now have I been able to test the fragrance and I am blown away....
The bottle is green glass with the typical Monegal flip lid, very cool. Heavy and high-quality, yes, I like that.
When you spray it, you experience a really nice, zesty lemon note, not at all bitter or sour, just deliciously lemony. Woods gradually join in. I don't sense the honey at all, there is something sweet, but no laboratory honey, I can't define it. Cedar and vetiver bring a contemplative vibration, calming and positive serenity.
My concern that the fragrance might be too masculine for me proved to be unfounded. It is unisex through and through, the easily perceptible veil of fragrance covers the skin and makes me feel all fuzzy. I always want to smell it. On me like a second skin, clearly there, but not sweet or heavy and certainly not dominant. I think the fragrance also has good projection. I can smell Siesta on my skin for many hours until late in the evening and on my clothes the next morning. Incidentally, I think the musk in the fragrance is beautiful. No scratchy musk or bazaar musk like in many oriental fragrances, no, soft and very sexy.
For me, the fragrance is one of the best releases in 2023, it surprised me very positively.
I would like to have it around me or smell it on other people.

Panettone - We all know this Italian cake in the form of a bundt cake, which is very fluffy on the inside and has less of the firm cake-like consistency of a sponge cake. In recent years, this sweet or dessert can also be found in German supermarkets for every festive season. The huge boxes are often a feast for the eyes...
Well, I discovered the scent - a victim of social networks - through a video of a young lady who described the scent as absolutely delicious. I was just in the right mood and placed a blind order, because the idea of panettone really turned me on fragrance-wise.

Today it came to me and I can hardly describe my impressions. Some profumos have already described the fragrance as strange. In fact, I can hardly think of anything else off the top of my head. Such a strange fragrance!
The opening is orangey, but also a little stale, like an orange aroma that has been forgotten in the cupboard for at least three years. That sounds rather off-putting, but it actually is only to a limited extent and for a very short time. Then comes the smell of bread. Little sweetness, I see yeast pastries with a slightly too brown crust. The sweetness is there, but it creeps in from time to time, subtle yet perceptible. The candied orange peel says hello and beckons. Rum and vanilla also play a part. But all of this is delicate and floating, flashing out again and again, not stuffy or sticky.

For me, the fragrance is a great surprise. Not easy to wear, very special. It is very subtle, but extremely noticeable and present on my skin. I always want to smell it on me, I find it very sexy and different. I've never smelled anything like it before.

The bottle is heavy and bright blue. I'm fascinated by the sprayer, because it gives off a good surge of the finest fragrance mist. You just want to spray it around you. It's my first fragrance from Milano Fragranze, perhaps all of the brand's fragrances are of this quality. The longevity is also unexpectedly good at six or seven hours on the skin and longer on clothing.

The fragrance hasn't come off that well so far, I think you intuitively expect a sweet, easy-to-wear scent and then are surprised at how complex this yeast cake smells.
For me, it's a pure delight in winter, I can't imagine it at temperatures above 10 degrees, but you really have to try it out.
I dared to experiment with panettone - and actually won!

I'm quite scared when I read the short comments on this fragrance...! Since it turns around armpit sweat, menopause etc... Disgusting it hardly goes.
My experience with the youngest Twilly child: in the department store, all around me lots of people who spray themselves with heavy fragrances, a lot of sweet stuff, oud and plastic. Twilly-neu looks at me, winks pink and flirts with the little bow. Ohhh..., try!
It bounces and sings, fizzes, refreshes, a tart effervescent sweetness, I want more and fear the happiness will end quickly. More spirited sprays, how wonderful. Around me: Mhhh, what is that? Two young ladies are standing a few meters away. "Is that you?", I am asked. "What is that? It's delicious!", "Yes, so pleasant, sweetish, fruity, fresh! Does it last?". I run out, half an hour later in the vestibule of a bench: "But it smells delicious here.... You wear a fantastic fragrance!", comments a gentleman behind me in the queue.
Hermes can be sometimes "bitchy", it depends probably strongly on the skin chemistry.

Thanks to a lovely swap partner, I was able to snag Keep Glazed at the Souk. Thank you again for the fast and reliable transaction! What I was looking forward to: Finally comes the fragrance that I had long looked at and hotly desired! My joy was great when I took the bottle out of the outer packaging. Indeed, a beautiful strawberry red specimen, the sweetness and fruit practically called through the bottle already.... Bravely sprayed two, no three times and.... um, what is that? It was so very different than I had even kind of imagined. Not a fruit, more of a plasticky concoction, pungent, just awful. Sweetish already, but like a bug spray, not a hint of lovely, no strawberries with whipped cream, coconut garnish or otherwise tempting.... And I mean that! I can't place it at all, as sleek as the bottle is, the scent is so unrounded. For me, unacceptable and absolutely unwearable, unfortunately. A big disappointment...
I see that there are already fans. So this must have something to do with my skin chemistry....

What a beautiful scent... It's summer, but unfortunately mostly grey, rainy and cold. I finally need warmth, would like to go on vacation, but, hach, the plague is at the same time on the down and the advance, there you do not know whether you really want to travel this year in foreign climes...
When I spray on Sandal Granada, I have everything I desire in seconds: a sunny scent, holiday feeling, exotic and oriental in equal measure, a smile on my face and a fantastic feeling of warmth and well-being. The fragrance melts into my skin, only two spritzes accompany me for many hours, the honey is quaffable, like the finest liqueur and the sandalwood is smooth and peppered with flowers.
A lightweight is the fragrance actually not, it announces a present person who comes along anything but inconspicuous. And in addition I must say that the bottle is in itself already an incredible Handschmeichler, yes, even a treasure.... Those around me love it when I wear Sandal Granada. Clear recommendation for all who love it warm, sweet and lush!
