a very thin fragrance water
well, this is also a very thin fragrance water. Very light and evaporates faster than one can smell it. I can sense a rose and a jasmine in the top notes, a sweet apple scent with a woody note, but everything is very diluted. Unfortunately, the fragrance develops a slightly artificial, metallic note over time, which, h...

Aria - Air
This fragrance series by Paolo Gigli is dedicated to the 4 elements. This one symbolizes air. Really fresh and airy, this scent is only so at the beginning. The top notes come across as very fresh, especially the citrus notes. In this phase, the fragrance truly feels like a gentle, fresh breeze, but not "thin" - rather...

green cucumber scent
the bottles caught my attention. They resemble laboratory glassware with colored liquids, just as one imagines in an alchemist's kitchen. The scents do not have names but are symbolized by specific colors, which are assigned to certain aspects of the female personality. The Green represents independence, self-confidenc...

A Fragrance for Autumn
This fragrance is meant to symbolize the "brown" of autumn: chestnuts, golden-brown leaves and fields, roasted chestnuts, etc. It is a creamy and soft scent, a true cuddle fragrance designed for cold and stormy days of the year. Right from the application, I smell spices, warm and fresh at the same time. The scent of m...

Oranges from Corsica
Corsica, a fragrance named after a Mediterranean island. Such things always evoke holiday joy in me. This scent is warm, sweet, and fruity. Especially the orange peel comes through distinctly, with a bit of pepper and a very gentle, warm, and creamy musk note defining this fragrance. The sweetness of frangipani is only...

a light floral scent
A light floral scent, with a hint of vanilla, quite clearly, nothing else, no fruits, herbs, no green or woody notes. I find: only truly wearable for women, not a unisex fragrance. I can recognize all the notes mentioned above, I smell lily, peony, violet, and vanilla. Yet somehow you smell them all at once, the scent...

american kitsch, the second
Jill Stuart, a New York fashion designer who also has her own cosmetics line. Not quite as well-known here in Germany. But I managed to get my hands on two perfume samples. Now, one can debate the beauty of the bottles; for me, it leans a bit towards the kitschy side. It is the same bottle as Jill Stuart (Eau de Toilet...

Bittersweet, is more "sweet" than "bitter".
And indeed very sweet, almost cloying, heavy, full-bodied and rich. I smell dark chocolate at the beginning, almost an overdose of chocolate, very opulent and intense, I can hardly stand it and have to turn away from my wrist. It makes me feel nauseous. Okay, after a minute it has softened a bit, and I sniff again at m...

Fruits and Musk
What a name: "Fruits of the Musk". Sounded very exciting to me, as I like musky scents as well as fruity perfumes. This one smells great of musk and raspberries. A very nice musk note accompanies the entire perfume, it neither becomes soapy nor sharply artificial. Really very well balanced and harmonious. The top notes...
