Mild Summer Nights in Moonlight
~ Inspiration ~ I am transforming into an Escada fan :D Since the limited summer editions are no longer so easy to find, I got a sample through the Souk. ~ Bottle ~ The well-known shape has been retained so that one immediately recognizes that there is a new Escada. The color gradients from dark blue to violet symboliz...

A Joyful Floral Greeting
~ Inspiration ~ Last summer, I first caught a whiff of Escada's "Joyful" while flipping through a magazine at the hairdresser. By now, I can test it with a sample. Miranda Kerr is the current face of the campaign, and I find the carousel with white horses playful and romantic at the same time, which, however, doesn't r...

Midnight Magic
~ Inspiration ~ Having tested several perfumes from Lolita Lempicka (which somehow intrigue me), "Eau de Minuit - Midnight Fragrance 2012" also made it onto my wishlist. ~ Bottle ~ The typical shape of an enchanted apple has been retained here as well - fitting the name in a deep dark blue-black with golden lettering....

Nina's (Apple) Paradise
~ Inspiration ~ The first scent from Nina Ricci (the red apple) pleased me, but the longevity was disappointing. Therefore, I have now acquired a sample of the pink little apple. ~ Bottle ~ The apple shape with the leaves has been retained, but instead of red/silver, it is now in pink/matt silver. The name "Le paradis...

Coffee with Vanilla-Caramel Syrup
~ Inspiration ~ I received a sample of "Café Tonka" from the lovely Serafina during a swap. Based on the scent notes, it probably wouldn’t have made it onto my wish list (I feared it would be too spicy-bitter for me). ~ Bottle ~ The simple glass bottle contains a brown liquid that fits well with the advertised coffee s...

Spring Awakening
~ Inspiration ~ After the two predecessors "Killer Queen" and "Royal Revolution," I was curious about this pink version, as I also really like the kitschy fairy-tale advertising campaign with Katy Perry! ~ Bottle ~ The familiar shape of the cut, pointed diamond is here in pink with a rose gold cap and crest. The name "...

Goldschätzchen
~ Inspiration ~ First of all: I LOVE LADY MILLION! For that reason alone, I had to test this variant and got myself a sample. ~ Bottle ~ The diamond shape has been elongated and tapers towards the back. Behind the name "Eau My Gold!" lies the exclamation "Oh My God!" ~ Fragrance ~ It starts citrus-fruity with juicy man...

Captivating Elixir of Angel's Trumpets
~ Inspiration ~ I purchased the perfume "blind" as a miniature of "J'adore" from Irielle66. I actually thought it was the "Miss" from Miss Sixty. ~ Bottle ~ The small, purple bottle is slightly tilted and reminds me of a magic lamp (those who know the series "I Dream of Jeannie" will understand what I mean). On the sil...

Refreshing Little Water
~ Inspiration ~ In autumn 2013, I had already tested “Addict” (2002). However, the summer variant “Eau Fraiche” has nothing in common with its blue predecessor. If the bottle hadn’t been pink, I probably would never have tested it, as I didn’t like “Addict” that much. ~ Bottle ~ The elongated shape has been retained he...

Black "Soft" Musk
~ Inspiration ~ I tested the perfume at the Body Shop while waiting at the checkout and was immediately taken with it - I kept smelling the test strip. A week later, while out shopping, I generously sprayed it on my scarf... and an hour later, I had to buy it! ~ Bottle ~ The black, opaque glass bottle has a purple labe...

Pure Freshness
~ Inspiration ~ I came across "Pure Wish" by chance while browsing here. ~ Bottle ~ One can guess from the faceted shape and the ring cap that this is a "Wish" offshoot. However, the diamond with transparent, light blue liquid has been elongated, and it can be stood up since the tip is missing. ~ Scent ~ It starts citr...
