Oud and in the drydown .... GASOLINE?
Gasoline, I smell gasoline!!
A few days ago, I tested Kokain Gold on a test strip and found it very interesting. Oud fragrances are just my thing! A distinctly masculine oud scent at an interesting price!
Today, I did a second test on my skin. Initially, the beautiful OUD note!
Then, as it dried down, a gasoline note increasingly mixed in. I think this is intentional, even though nothing is listed in the pyramid! At first, I found it interesting. The longer the fragrance developed, the stronger this gasoline note became, along with the association of a mechanic's workshop. Oily mechanic's hands! Oil-stained overalls! Gasoline, oil change!
A perfume for the Harley riders among us! You know those riding gynecological chairs with people on them who look like monkeys. This is the perfume for that!
But there are also people who look cool on a Harley, and they wear nicer perfume!

Yasmin pulls no punches!
UIUIUIUIUIUIUIUI!!
Yesterday I was once again at the esteemed Kurpfalz Parfümerie and wanted to do some sniffing around. I had a few fragrances on my list, including Yasmine and also Lord George. My first encounter with Penthaligon!
Lord George was quickly checked off, great, but thanks, I have an idea now, but Yasmine hit me like a bolt! I could hardly contain my excitement and was on the verge of taking the bottle home right away. Only my rule of always finishing a sample in that price range before deciding held me back!
I've rarely smelled something so wonderful, dark, deep, and erotic!
Do you know Fight Club? Or better yet, Bellatrix Lestrange? Helena Bonham Carter, that’s her perfume! Dark, mystical, unfathomable, mysterious. For me, it’s clearly a women’s fragrance!
I see it on dark, mysterious women. The scent is a statement! It intimidates!
If I want to scare someone or if it's about negotiations where I want to keep the butter on my bread, this is the right fragrance, of course with the appropriate attitude and clothes. They are black, nothing else!
I have a preference for noir fragrances and this one is right up there next to my beloved
Memoir Woman Eau de Parfum
I’ll finish the generous sample and then I believe it will soon be here!

The Scent of a Vampire!
A demon, otherworldly beautiful! With a pale complexion and a cool, devilish charisma.
Draped in the finest fabric and speaking with a velvety, caressing voice!
Vampires and demons have always been surrounded by the most mysterious stories. Otherworldly beings, enchanting, beautiful, eternally young and greedy for souls and blood! Dark creatures of the night!
Undead, centuries old and only to be killed with a stake thrust directly into their non-beating heart.
They are described as fallen angels. The embodiment of evil! Dark, wicked! Spawn of hell!
Are they? Opinions differ on this. Rightly so? Yes, certainly!
If demons wore perfume, which they surely do, then it would be this one.
The scent is dark, mystical, beautiful! Simply unbelievably velvety, contradictory, unique, mysterious, and BLACK!
An extraordinary fragrance for extraordinary people. Absolutely signature-worthy.
True, but a scent not for everyone.
The fragrance demands the right surroundings. Wardrobe, appearance, styling!
It stands out, but in a pleasantly mysterious way! Not so in your face. Not a beast!
My start with Memoir Woman was very bumpy. From the box *sink as soon as possible* to the status *bottle owned as soon as possible/don't forget to reorder samples!*
What had happened?
I sorted and tidied up, dusting off the dusty samples - almost 50 by now - and I stumbled upon Memoir Woman again. Cap off and smelled it again, because the first time I found it just awful and sadly put it aside for disposal, completely bewildered by what everyone finds so great about this perfume!
And on the small bottle, I smelled a soft, velvety dream. Huh, how now, isn't this the stinky stuff?? So I sprayed it on... again... phew... oh yes... it was the stinky stuff... no rinsing it off... wait... maybe something will change... it can't be such a difference... so eyes closed and through.... wait for development and progression... patience!
No idea what is yelling at me, I suspect the absinthe or clove.
That actually fades away after about half an hour and reveals a dark, mystical noir dream. Mysteriously black and velvety. Unbelievable, that was the best thing I have ever smelled. Soft, round, balanced, perfectly tuned. Nothing in the foreground, just a dark, fragrant scent carpet.
So many metaphors have been used here, and they are all true!
My association was initially the scent of a beautiful vampire spreading its wings and gliding through the velvet black skies. This is how it must smell.
A unisex fragrance for sure. It doesn't matter who wears this scent as long as the attitude is right. That's it!
This fragrance is definitely also signature-worthy!
Just a warning: It does exude a very subtle eroticism! Maybe not for the office! Or maybe if necessary!
The bottle:
Looks like a small black tombstone

American Gigolo
When I smell Cuir Beluga, I think of this movie! American Gigolo! About Lauren Hutton, she definitely wore this scent or Richard Gere or both! The whole film smells like Cuir Beluga, no, the other way around!
Lauren Hutton is, for me, the Cuir Beluga woman. Blonde and with a cool sex appeal! Reserved, elegant, a bit shy, dressed in subtle gold jewelry and a beige cashmere sweater, with the jacket draped over her shoulder like a cape! American upper class, a girl from a good family with a college education looking for a good match!
Beige, beige, khaki, light brown, dark brown is the association with this scent anyway. Brown, beige, orange, etc. the colors of the eighties. Alarm clocks and veneered cabinets! Today, one would call it NUDE.
Everyone was running around in beige clothes and tight pants!
Blondie sings in an endless loop Heart of Glass!
The playlist is complemented by ABBA with Gimme Gimme
Now to the scent:
Cuir Beluga starts for me with mandarin and a note that I can't clearly identify, probably the aldehydes. Along with vanilla. The scent is very close to the skin, but projects quite well. I kind of like that about it, and that's something all the scents from this series that I've smelled so far have in common. They are soft and round and somehow cuddly.
Since Perfumo, I have really developed a fondness for vanilla, but only this good high-quality fine vanilla that you only find in high-end fragrances, especially in the Guerlains, which are known for their fine vanilla. You can smell it. My nose has gotten a bit fixated on that! Indeed!
Nevertheless, Cuir Beluga is not a scent for me; it is simply too retro. I don't really like the orange, mandarin theme! It is good, no question, and this eroticism and sensuality does reach me too, otherwise I would have a different association with it! American Gigolo...
After a while, the mandarin disappears for me, and the vanilla really comes through. From here on, the scent is truly beautiful. A slightly dry, dusty summer note comes in, which could be the straw flower. (...Richard drives the convertible down the highway, with the sandy dry landscape on the right and left)
I don't perceive suede or only very subtly; it probably creates in me the now politically completely incorrect association with furs, fur coats, or fur stoles. Yes, Cuir Beluga smells to me like someone who wears fur. Maybe that's why I don't like it!
Amber rounds it all off! The base is beautiful and supports the lovely vanilla.
What makes the scent, as mentioned, very attractive is this very intimate projection of the fragrance. This probably gives it the reputation of being an erotic scent. But Angelique can do that too!
Longevity for me is good, the sillage is as mentioned modest, but that's what makes it nice! You don't need beast mode for a good scent!
For me, however, it's not a must-have. Nice, yes, nostalgic, yes. I would have liked to have the bottle!
Ahhh, a few more words about the bottle:
I find the bottles of the "L'Art et la Matière" series fantastic! Something so beautiful. Therefore, I would have loved it if I had liked the scent, so that alongside Angelique, maybe a second scent from the line could have joined.
In general, I have engaged more with this collection, Guerlain, and also vanilla scents, and I must say that I have become a fan. Guerlain is one of the greatest perfume houses on the planet!
Too bad, Cuir Beluga!

Helpless!
Baccarat Rouge 540, a fragrance whose reputation echoes from all corners of the niche world.
Some love it and consider it one of the best perfumes in the world. Others hate it!
The scent is a legend!
The story is well known!
As someone new to the niche world, I approached this perfume as one of the first scents, as you can't avoid it. Especially not at Kurkdjian!
When I first visited the esteemed Kurfürsten perfumery, BR 540 was prominently displayed on the shelf, and I was allowed to take a sample of this fragrance, along with a strip on which I first smelled what nearly knocked me over. At that moment, I smelled a niche fragrance for the first time. This intensity was foreign to me; I had never experienced anything like it before.
I have always been intensely interested in scents. I know the designer range very well. Also the area in between. But somehow, I had never ventured into the niche until now, when I had that strip under my nose.
OH MY GOD!
That really blew me away. I had to process that first!
At home, the strip kept humming away. For days!
I was torn between being totally thrilled and oh dear! I even considered using it as a car air freshener!
And so, eventually, the strip ended up in the recycling and the sample on the shelf. For a long time!
Then I sprayed it again in the meantime and was thrilled and actually considered buying the bottle. I wore it a few times. With a sample, you can get quite far with BR 540!
Now I sit here and write this review that I've been planning for a long time, spray it, and think 'hey, what did I actually find good about this?'
BR 540 somehow always throws me from one extreme to the other. It really depends on my mood whether I like it or not!
What also holds me back a bit is that with this fragrance, I acquire a scent that - despite being niche - many people wear, and it reminds me a bit of the hype around CK one a long time ago, which wafted at me from every damn corner, in the cinema, at the office, at the swimming pool, everywhere!
I wonder if BR 540 expresses what one wants when wearing niche fragrances, namely individuality, exclusivity, style, etc.
I’m not sure if BR 540 still offers all of that.
On the positive side, the stuff lasts forever. I believe you only buy such a bottle once in a lifetime and it might be found in some estates!
Yes, for me, this fragrance is the epitome of unisex. Although I would prefer to smell it on a man!
