It could hardly be more delicate and elegant
One of the most beautiful, delicate and noble fragrances ever!
Not without reason my signature fragrance in spring & summer.
Although only lily components are included as fragrance notes, it is a versatile fragrance:
Creamy, but also fresh
Clean, but not synthetic
Green, but subtle and not herbaceous
Floral, but not one-sidedly floral
Classic, but not "old"
Powdery, but not suffocating
As if freshly washed & hung to dry in the flower garden.
A fragrance with a lot of lightness & clarity with simultaneous strength.
Very pleasant and luxurious!
There are many variations of Baiser Vole, but this is my personal favorite!

Musk dream & good memories
An incredibly soft, pleasant and enveloping fragrance - which is not too much despite its good durability and sillage!
The musk in the foreground gives this fragrance "your skin but better" vibes & "clean" vibes: like when you have just showered & lie down in a freshly made bed.
The fragrance is super creamy and smooth without being one-dimensional. You get the fruity notes every now and then, which make the fragrance exciting & fresh. Sandalwood & magnolia provide even more creaminess & cleanliness.
The fragrances harmonize so beautifully without stealing the show!
Unlike many "clean fragrances", this one is not synthetic or overpowering.
The first time I sprayed it, it reminded me of a fragrance that unfortunately no longer exists, but which was super beautiful: "Emporio Armani White for Her | Giorgio Armani". I still mourn it today. "Musk Therapy | Initio" is a completely unique and wonderful fragrance!
The DNA of the two fragrances goes in a similar direction (even if I don't remember 100% of "Emporio Armani White for Her | Giorgio Armani" and can't compare the two directly because I no longer have a bottle).
Some fragrance notes are the same, even if that doesn't say much about whether two fragrances are actually similar (see e.g. "Gentle fluidity (Silver) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" & "gentle Fluidity (Gold) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian").
I would say "Emporio Armani White for Her | Giorgio Armani" goes in a fresher & more sparkling direction, whereas "Musk Therapy | Initio" is creamier.
But if you like "Emporio Armani White for Her | Giorgio Armani", you should probably try this fragrance! :)
If you like fresh & creamy clean fragrances, you should have tested this one anyway! :)

Summer evening on the balcony
Always reminds me of a warm summer evening on the balcony:
A sparkling, cold and sweet peach iced tea with a good shot of elderflower syrup is on the table. You can smell the flowers on the balcony from time to time through the light gust of wind & woody notes rise from the balcony floor, which has warmed up due to the warm rays of sunshine.
A good mood fragrance that is unobtrusive & elegant. It's a little synthetic, but that doesn't bother me.
It lasts really well on me and I even smell it for a long time (with most fragrances I quickly become scent-blind).
What I find particularly exciting is that it is a molecule of perfume and develops a little differently on everyone's skin. So just try it directly on your skin & not on a fragrance strip!

Authentic & delicious (except for the amaretto)
An authentic coffee fragrance at last!
Of course, I haven't tested all coffee fragrances, but this one is by far the strongest when it comes to coffee notes.
As a coffee fan, I had to order and test the fragrance blind:
The coffee is in the foreground, it is strong and "black".
The fragrance notes are "edible" (apart from ambergris) and this is also reflected in the scent.
A beautiful gourmand fragrance!
The fragrance is inspired by the dessert affogato: espresso with vanilla ice cream.
That's exactly how it smells: delicious, creamy and sweet.
The brown sugar gives it a slight caramel scent. The amaretto note is noticeable for a long time without masking the coffee scent. However, I find that the amaretto note makes the fragrance a little synthetic, which is a shame.
Some reviews have written that the fragrance smells like licorice (which I can confirm). I think this is due to the amaretto. It's not bad, it's spicy and slightly boozy. But it could have been more authentic and weaker at the same time, in my opinion.
I imagine I smell a little speculoos, as I detect something cinnamony. According to the Mancera website, there is "a hint of speculoos" in the heart note. Although speculoos doesn't belong in a dessert, I would have found the scent exciting!
A beautiful, tart and creamy gourmand fragrance that is great for the colder days!

Salted Vanilla instead of Salted Caramel
The first association I had when spraying on was: salty vanilla
Salted Caramel one knows yes, but a salty vanilla rather less, from therefore the fragrance is really exciting!
But: he is not really gourmandig! You might think that when you think of a vanilla fragrance.
I think the salty note comes from the driftwood. You could also describe the saltiness as slightly metallic. Because of this -and the fresh, green notes- the scent is more aquatic/sweet than gourmand. Still, there remains this delicious vanilla that is really soft but strongly present. It is not so "warm" and sweet, as you know it from many other fragrances.
The vanilla is there from start to finish, coming out "stronger" at the end as the fruity and green notes give way. For this, the fruity and green notes are very much in the foreground at the beginning. Where I must say that the bitter orange is only briefly perceptible (for me).
Personally, the salty note bothers me, because I just do not like this note, but:
if you wait about 20-30 minutes, the salty note is no longer so strong, even if it does not disappear completely. But that's perfectly okay for me, I like the scent (after 20-30 minutes) very much and the wait is definitely worth it to me:
One is rewarded with a beautiful, soft (almost creamy) & at the same time fresh touched vanilla!
The "Aqua Allegoria Forte Bosca Vanilla | Guerlain" reminds me of summer, warm days and ice cream. He spreads good mood and is not too sweet, so you can wear it on any occasion and in all seasons.
H/S are quite good: on my clothes I could perceive the scent even a day later (although of course attenuated). I was also more often addressed to the fragrance. Nevertheless, I would re-spray him after a few hours, as they sillage decreases.
