A Hint of Spring
Yesterday morning, I sleepily drew back the curtains - and looked out into the snow-covered garden! Spontaneously, the muse struck me: Snow - oh dear! Shoveling in the morning - with blue lips - with a stiff neck - and red cheeks. Please, no winter time - I wish spring were ready now. Hair standing on end under a woole...

Intimate Love
Today I bought Jeu d'amour l'elixir blind, because it was drastically reduced, and I was already convinced by the jeu d'amour. While the "original game" still reflects the initial butterflies, the elixir has already grown into an intimate love. The initial excitement has given way to a deep trust - full of understandin...

Refreshment in the Supermarket
Today marks the start of the holidays and a combat day in the supermarket. I escaped the hustle and bustle to the tranquil fragrance corner and reached for Bohemian Garden. A lemon flies towards me - tart but refreshing. The peel has been incorporated here. The lily of the valley also leans more towards the tart side,...

Sparkling Appearance
I was an average student - accustomed to the standard math grade of five. What bothered me much more was that I wasn't chosen for the school choir. No, I really didn't inherit my mom's beautiful singing voice. But she passed on her musicality to me. So, as the choir reject, I was always chosen to play the piano at fest...

Moldy Grass
In the supermarket, I always like to reach for the Mexx fragrances, and so I couldn't resist the pink Festival bottle. The opening is fresh with the pineapple leaf and aquatic with the clear pear. Great. Then floral notes join in, but the scent increasingly darkens. A grassy note appears, which rather reminds me of com...

with peppermint I am your prince
I always enjoy lingering with the George Gina & Lucy fragrances - especially because the cheerful, colorful bottles appeal to me. However, the Blue Cosmo bottle stands out a bit with its strict rectangular shape. But the scent is not straight at all, rather light and buoyant. The typical youthful charm of this label se...

the grande dame
I bought Catalyst blind, trusting in Halston, which my mom and I have always had in the house. What could go wrong? I am brand loyal - I drive the car with the star and have been wearing Lewis for years. Always nice - cobbler, stick to your last. But Catalyst surprised me considerably! It almost shocked me. I did not e...

let roses speak!
When my friend is in love, she pulls out all the stops. The beloved is showered with gifts, and she doesn't lack for imaginative surprise ideas. I always have to assist, as I am both a hopeless romantic myself and have a spacious car. So dear Sandra got bags full of rose petals, and we sprinkled the path from the front...

Birthday Fragrance
Today is my dog's birthday, and I tie a white ribbon around his neck for the special day. He looks so stylish. We set out for the birthday round - but the inhospitable April weather drives us back home. However, at home, I am greeted by an Easter package from a friend. Well, that's a ray of sunshine! Contents: Zadig an...

joyful encounter
The Escada fragrances had been my mother's domain until now - not that I don't like Escada, I just didn't want to interfere with her scent. Individuality should be respected. But today, in this inhospitable dreary weather, I crossed the line. Why stare out the window gloomily any longer when there is Joyful? Even the f...

Sicilia insula est
Years ago, my mother-in-law gifted me this fragrance. She is a devoted No 5 wearer, and I expected something in that direction. Hesitantly sprayed on - and my heart leaped with joy! What a charming fresh green scent! I closed my eyes and was in Sicily in spring. Sitting on a stone wall, with a crispy olive bread in my...

discovery
I often dabble with the Campbell fragrances, as one or another is always good for a surprise. So I lingered on Sunset - and the title is well chosen. Here, a milky, misty sunrise is captured, gently waking the sleepy nose. It approaches slowly and cautiously, gently knocking with bergamot and green leaves. Then, when y...
