Sparkling White Diamonds, which has just recently joined my collection, by the way, not a blind buy for once, I've had a miniature in my collection for a while. I've been skep...

He has my respect, but not my heart
Oud al Mubakhar was the third in a blind order; the ingredients sounded good, the price was affordable, and the reviews and comments here did the rest. What does Oud smell like? I have no experience with Oud fragrances; I haven't had one under my nose until now. There must be some Oud in this scent, otherwise, would "O...

Fiore Dell’Onda - more for lightweights
Only a small group in this forum likes aquatics, for most they fall under "I don't like." Well, I belong to the "I like" group. However, I've noticed that my idea of aquatic is often different from the common opinion. I've had several aquatic fragrances under my nose in recent years that were anything but aquatic. My i...

old friendships....
Once a year, I organize the "Summer Hardcore Class Reunion" in the beer garden; we are between 10 and 14 schoolmates and usually close the place down late at night. I am especially looking forward to seeing my "bosom friend" from my teenage years. We only have sporadic contact now, but when we talk or see each other, i...

Visit to the Home with "In Love Again"
When I visit my father in the home, I usually apply a bit more perfume. I mentioned this in a comment before, that many residents feel cold because they can hardly move. For this reason, open windows are quickly closed again. My toothless admirer, who had a fondness for fragrances and particularly liked “Private Collec...

Autumn Afternoon in the Home with Tsukimi - There's Something Comforting About It
The common room in the home is getting emptier. Some time ago, there were still 8 to 10 people sitting there; now it’s usually only 5. Many don’t even leave their beds anymore, and the few who are there mostly sit alone at a table. My father has a regular spot at a two-person table, together with Hubert. He has ALS, ca...

You like fragrances,
that are edgy, varied, and striking? Then don't read on. Are you looking for a scent that is suitable for everyday wear? With subtle presence and good to wear at work? A perfume that wraps you in comfort, like a delicate silk blanket? Do you want to stand out with performance, not through your fragrance? Do you prefer...

Softly it draws through my mind…..
I treated myself to a decant of Life Threads Platinum right away, instead of testing this fragrance first. Yesterday, it was applied immediately and to cut a long story short, I find this scent fantastic. The opening is a bit metallic, strict, and not quite to my taste. But just a few minutes later, the fragrance becom...

Eau Fraiche deserves more than just a statement...
Eau Fraiche was one of my last 3 blind buys. Even when ordering, I was sure I would like it. Year of release: the 80s, the ingredients: spices, mint, lemon. Yep, this can only be good. And it is. So, during my lunch break, I quickly want to jot down a few lines about the fragrance, which deserves more than just a state...

Softly - this makes me think of Lora, the parrot from the laundry
As a child, I dragged the washed bed linen to the mangle at the laundry. In my neighborhood, there was still a “real” laundry, not like today’s “drop-off point.” In the front part of the store, there was a counter and many shelves on the walls, where the starched and mangled laundry was neatly packaged and stored. In t...

I Love Lavender
I did a lovely fragrance swap with Yara, and she also included a sample of Rêverie au Jardin. This is the second Tauer scent that I get to test, and I was curious. L'Air Du Desert Marocain had captured my heart some time ago, so I was looking forward to the next scent from the Swiss perfumer. It smells like a coniferou...
