In my last swap package, I found a sample of this fragrance. I wasn't familiar with the brand and was therefore very curious about what to expect. In short, the scent was tested immediately. I quickly applied it to my wrist and took a sniff. But oh dear, what wafted towards me was unfortunately not an olfactory delight for my taste, but rather a mix that was too green, too herbal, too bitter, and too woody. I find BetariceA's comparison to "Untitled" very accurate. No, not a scent for me, unfortunately not my type. So I set the sample aside for the "May Continue" sample box. I then focused on the other fine samples and the swap fragrance more intensely and initially forgot about the one I had just tested. After about 15 minutes, I was done with everything and wanted to place the sample in my sample box, but first I wanted to evaluate it here. I quickly opened this page and was astonished to find that this fragrance was rated very highly, that the scent notes should actually fit my profile completely, and oh dear, it was also said to be a twin scent to "Bal D'Afrique," which I have been eyeing for quite some time. That couldn't be right, because the scent from the sample had nothing in common with the Byredo fragrance. So, I sniffed it on my wrist again and I was blown away. Was that really the scent from the sample? Indeed, it had made a 180-degree transformation. No longer herbal, green, and bitter, but subtly citrusy, floral, underlined with musk and a hint of wood. Wonderfully soft, warm, and comforting. A really lovely and pleasant cozy scent, but also great for summer due to the light neroli note. It's a shame that I only have a small sample.

Thanks to a kind donor, I got a sample of this fragrance.
The brand was completely unknown to me before.
The scent starts off floral fruity, a mix of rose and subtle peach, but for me, it’s a bit sharp in the nose. Slowly, the tuberose gains a bit of intensity, but it doesn’t become overpowering, which can happen quickly with tuberose. Despite the floral fruity mix, the scent remains rather unisex, although I can imagine it more on women. After about 10 minutes, it becomes softer, more subtle, and fruitier, but not overly sweet fruity.
When not overly applied, it is quite wearable and also suitable for the office.
Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of fruity scents, and it also lacks a bit of uniqueness for me, a fragrance that gives the feeling of having smelled it somewhere before, but this is just my subjective impression.
Nevertheless, thank you for the opportunity to test this fragrance, as I wouldn’t know where to find this brand nearby at all.

A few days ago, I wrote a comment about "Mémoires de Mustique" and referred to it as a neroli bomb, of which I already have two in my collection. This is one of those two fragrances, and anyone who takes the time to compare the scent pyramids will find that they are remarkably similar. Likewise, the scents themselves are very similar, although not identical; however, anyone who does not exclusively specialize in neroli in their collection will not necessarily need both at the same time.
The Harris also starts off very neroli-heavy, but it also lets other notes shine through without really losing dominance. Petitgrain, jasmine, and an unmistakably spicy note are noticeable, making the scent a definite unisex fragrance for me. The Mémoires was also unisex, but a bit sweeter, as it lacked the spice.
There is also hardly any scent progression here, which I do not wish to criticize, as I am not fixated on that. Longevity and sillage are good, but not outstanding.
In summer, it is a great freshness kick and not overwhelming or intrusive, just pleasantly enjoyable.

Essential Garden is a brand that I have noticed in various drugstores.
During my internet research, I found that there are numerous fragrances from this brand, but unfortunately, I only ever find the usual three suspects nearby: "Forbidden Berries," "Hypnotic Musc," and "Sensual Amber." Three also interesting and pleasant scents.
"Dreamy Orchid" was once recommended to me by a perfumer, and since then I have been searching for it and then by chance found it in a drugstore, and it was love at first sniff.
Even though the Essential Garden fragrances are very affordable, they are surprisingly well-made, have solid longevity, and also sillage.
On that particular day, I was overjoyed to have finally found this fragrance and to actually like it. The decision was made, I wanted to have it, but I already owned so many fragrances, and I had promised myself to use up a few before acquiring a new one. Furthermore, I thought to myself that I now knew where to buy this fragrance and left it there. This turned out to be a fatal mistake, as during my next drugstore visit, it had disappeared from the shelves again, and I stood in disbelief, close to tears (well, a bit dramatic) in front of the shelf, staring at the usual three suspects.
Ordering online didn’t make sense at that price, as I would have paid almost as much for shipping as for the fragrance itself. On Parfumo, there was also no one who had this scent in the souk, so I resolved to seize the next opportunity that came my way.
Through fortunate circumstances, I acquired this beautifully dreamy fragrance through a swap, and I finally got to hold it in my hands.
The scent starts with a hefty portion of orchid and a very subtle, barely noticeable rose. It is very, very floral and powdery, and at first, it could almost take your breath away, so intense it is. However, it quickly becomes softer and more pleasant until it fades to the point where only a beautifully dreamy and delicate cloud of orchid surrounds you.
There is no spectacular scent development; I don’t perceive the spices either, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I float along on the floral cloud, feeling comfortable and well-scented.
A great everyday fragrance that gives me a cozy feeling.

Thanks to a dear perfumer, I got a sample of this wonderful fragrance. The brand and scent were previously unknown to me.
When I read the name of the fragrance, I was of course very curious. It sounds quite mysterious, and I thought I was in for an intense, heavy, spicy scent with a lot of incense, but I was mistaken. The name is not representative for me, but rather misleading.
In my opinion, there is nothing mystical about this.
The scent starts fresh-green with a hefty portion of neroli, which clearly dominates the further development of the fragrance, adding a subtle bitter note. So, anyone who doesn't get along well with neroli is unfortunately at the wrong address here.
I, on the other hand, love it, and if I didn't already have two fragrances of this category in my collection, this one would definitely be a top contender.
Slowly, it becomes a bit softer, and orange blossom and a little jasmine join in, making it a bit spicier, yet neroli clearly dominates, and it remains fresh.
I can only agree with Yatagan and Caffee's statements; this fragrance strongly reminds me of an Eau de Cologne. Unfortunately, the sillage is not particularly strong either; it quickly becomes a close-to-skin scent, but the longevity is good.
In summer, I find these types of fragrances particularly pleasant and refreshing.
