Vinyldates

Absorbent cotton in the head. Thoughts loll about in a jumble. Circling, floating, not staying put and roaming around like a storm of emotions and images. Blurred, fused: a symbiosis of illusion. What is memory, what is delusion?
There are images of
Grasses; tarred and feathered, the stems in bright green disappear under the black brew that seems to swallow everything. Smoking, stewing, consuming everything.
There are images of
Gentle camomiles, gentle hands and soft pillows that accompany me to sleep, humming benevolently soothing songs: a delicate way of saying goodbye.
Images of old oaks, cracking bark, rustling branches, swampy moors and lilac leaves. Falling. Like a song of spring in the abandoned, in the sunken.
Images of lush flowers, shrieking, demanding and infinitely dense, glowing in all colors and consuming you.
Again and again.
What remains later is a breath. Sweetness that melts tenderly on the tongue before it accompanies you into the gentle nothingness; a kiss, like a farewell.

The white tulle gently caressed her legs. Blush lay scattered on her dressing table, trying to add some color to her pale face until recently. Her red lips were now smudged and the edges of her mouth no longer clearly defined. She looked into the mirror with tired eyes, her costume still clinging to her body as it had in years past, roses lingering on her table as they often did. The lush scent of these, enveloped her and mingled with the sweat that lingered in her mask. Her dance was over, her solo finished. Her silk dress shimmered in the dim light and she knew that despite the exhaustion that lay in her bones, the night was just beginning. She dribbled a few drops of the dark elixir on her neck that would give her renewed strength. One last look before she disappeared into the dark.

Pearl starts off surprisingly fresh and herbaceous for me, with the rose seeming untamed and coming prominently to the fore. Yet it takes more and more space for itself over time, becomes heavier, velvety and seems more lush. The daphne adds to this benevolent, almost narcotic heaviness and allows the fragrance to become expansive. The musk, which is added after a while, gives the whole a certain animalic quality, which nevertheless does not seem obtrusive at all. With time, patchouli comes through noticeably, but still nestles the rose and acts only in the background and balsamic sweet underlines this fragrance composition.
Despite the few fragrance components or just because, this fragrance seems insanely cuddly and rich. He weaves around the senses and lets the wearer mysteriously attractive and evokes in me mixed associations of cultivated scene clubs, peaceful Gothic and old theaters.
The durability can be seen and so keep rose and patch with me on the skin around the 6h through.
The sillage is perceptible and initially the fragrance takes its space, whereby it becomes closer to the body with time and nestles against its wearer like a second skin.
Ikiryo has created a wonderful fragrance composition here with Pearl, which is very wearable and could be interesting especially for lovers of a rose fragrance. Of course, the batch of rose and patchouli is nothing new, but is here in harmony with musk and silk bast very well implemented and thus creates a lush fragrance, which may well tarnish but not must.

As a rose lover with another weakness for leather, I was very excited when I ordered a small bottling of this fragrance. Since he was also very praised here, I was confident to have got a nice new composition for my nose.
And here it should be mentioned once again that the olfactory system in people can not be more different:
So I timidly sprayed something on my wrist and the first thought that came to me was that of a synthetic scratchy rose that did not want to be recognized as such. Or maybe I'm just not the geranium type and can't relate to this modern bold creation and its actual sophistication. But a typical rose scent will not be encountered.
After the cry of the degenerate rose becomes a little quieter, more woody nuances come out: as if the rose would entwine a piece of wood and over the years found there its permanent growing place.
For me, unfortunately, no nice warm wood with which one associates a cozy campfire, but
rather an almost frozen driftwood, frozen by the cold of a harsh winter. Even after several minutes, the perfume still stings my eyes very much, maybe it's just this fresh green fragrance nuance, which I unfortunately, at this point, can not appreciate.
After about half an hour, the fragrance becomes softer, still woody and fresh, but far from being too aggressive. I wait in vain for leather.
All in all, was created with Rose & Cuir a really modern rose fragrance, which comes along very tart and radiates a certain coldness and distance. Typical rose and classic leather you will not find only here.
Too bad, I had looked forward to it.

In search of a nice and somewhat heavier fragrance for the cooler season, I discovered Red Wine Brown Sugar. Of course, the color was the first thing that caught my eye and as a passionate red wine drinker who appreciates a good dry drop very much, I had concerns at first: Because as already mentioned in the name, here are exquisite red fruits combined with sugar. And for me, there is nothing worse than sweet red wine in my glass. Nevertheless, I bought a small bottling of it to convince myself and to give the fragrance a chance (maybe I just saw this pretty flacon already at my house, who knows).
As already my previous speakers, I can only agree:
The fragrance is initially really surprisingly tart. Immediately comes to mind the successful association with red wine, which is not at all intrusive. From sticky sweetness until now no trace. After some time, the wonderful patchouli comes in very delicately and accompanies the fruit on its journey. Otherwise, I have always experienced Patch as a very strong fragrance that takes over any attention, but here it is quite successful and Patchouli nestles only slightly to its predecessor. For my (probably too untrained) nose cedar wood tends to fade into the background and can, for me, only be guessed at.
The sugar sounds very quietly in the base, almost silently. The fragrance unfolds the time over no unpleasant sweetness, but becomes a little heavier, set, more sluggish. Almost like yourself, after a few good glasses. Leather plays here in my opinion rather a subordinate role and fans will probably not get their money's worth here, the top note holds up much too well for that.
For me, Red Wine Brown Sugar is a really wonderful winter fragrance that you can wear well and gladly during the day, but also just in the evening, because it is not too intrusive, but still has that certain something.
Chapeau to Bohoboco for this wonderful fragrance!

Cheers- I'm going to open a wine now!

Twilight - an endless love.
My love for Lush, I can not repeat often enough. A store that makes you shine and where you can spend several hours immersing your senses in different nuances of fragrance - a dream. Already at the beginning I was thrilled by the lavender collection, which with the shower gel and the body lotion "Sleepy" (here the name is program), have taken a permanent place in my bathroom.
The soothing gentle nature of lavender , which plays around your senses and together with vanilla can ground you, has immediately conquered my heart and provides especially on bad days for a good night's sleep and a secure feeling.
When now this body spray appeared it was clear that I had to have it. The great thing about Lush- besides the various care products, is the price-performance ratio. Of course, the products to be purchased are not comparable with the drugstore, but they should not. From conviction I can say, Lush lasts forever and is intense. And what more could you want?
Especially the body sprays are very productive and are characterized by a very very good durability and comprehensive sillage. So also this sweet twilight. If you close your eyes and let yourself only on the smell, a gigantic lavender field appears before the inner eye, which caresses your senses. It's just after sunset, the moon already shining seductively between the clouds, illuminating the dark silence. Lovely nuances of tonka beans join in, calming your mind and drawing you more and more into the realm of dreams and fantasy.
With Twilight you float, just before going to sleep, as if on clouds and let all the bad thoughts of the day go. It calms you, it brings you down and is a wonderful fragrance to usher in the night.
If you love lavender, you won't go wrong here and even with regular use , the flacon lasts a very long time.
Try it out and sinks itself in this dusky sweet Zwilicht!
