Fine scent, but no replacement for the old AE
Some time ago, I saw Aromatics in White here in the ticker. I was immediately electrified and looked up what kind of fragrance it was. The "old" Aromatics Elixir had been my daily faithful companion for a good 20 years. And although my collection has quadrupled in a year (thanks to you wonderful fragrance commentators)...

Washed.. Arabica.. Blend.. Roasted.. Undermatures..Trommelröstung.. huh?
Recently, we got a new coffee machine for the break room. The old machine finally gave up after 80,000 cups and several years - not least due to a lack of maintenance; everyone wants to drink, but clean and maintain, pah, not with us, "the water is always empty with me," "the maintenance is always wanting with me," eve...

Then I consider bringing out the old LPs from the basement, Brian Ferry, Robert Palmer, Simply Red, Depeche Mode..... What d...

Herb Man....
Phew, it clears the nose, I thought with the first spray. Something like menthol or camphor is buzzing strongly in my nose. Cento Orizzonti reminds me of the tiger balm that I bravely rub on my red and sensitive nose before bed during cold season, so I can breathe. Or to distract myself from the burning of my stuffy no...

Side Effects: Depression may be intensified!
This morning I received some lovely fragrance mail, including Immortal Beloved. As soon as I got home, I generously sprayed my wrist. This time I didn't let the scent "settle," as I usually like to do. The opening is herbaceous and very bitter; I can't think of any fragrance that starts similarly. I smell tobacco, fres...
