No Bon Bon
Yesterday was a rainy day and I was in a grumpy mood. Then my husband suggested a detour to my favorite perfume shop, and I was back on track. There I discovered Flowerbomb Midnight, which piqued my interest. Unfortunately, there was no tester, but I took a chance on a blind purchase. I had the beautiful Bon Bon in min...

Privacy
Recently, my best friend picked me up from home late at night. We wanted to wander around the city a bit and hit up this or that club. Going out with him is a special joy for me because he is not only my friend but also an absolute womanizer. I admit that I enjoy the admiring glances from the ladies when we are out tog...

some things are better left unsaid
Today I am plagued by a headache and general malaise - in short - I'm feeling down. Then the Untold absolute smiles at me gently - and I must say, even the golden packaging and the equally golden heart bottle appeal to me - without words. The scent is full and soft - and I want to sink into it, like into a Hilton King...

Voluminous Vanilla
Today I received a package from Urban Scents with Dark Vanilla samples. Now, that is a service that should set a standard. I am usually very fond of Urban Scents fragrances - and a vanilla scent particularly excited me. This fragrance direction promises comforting coziness, and also curbs the craving for sweets. This w...

Vacation at Home
The travel exodus has begun - and the last stragglers are at least packing their bags. I belong to those who stayed at home, tending to the familiar soil. But trips to the perfumery are a must. What do I come across? A vetiver from Prada? I wouldn't have expected such a bright, clean start. The vetiver note is downrigh...

In the India Shop
In the past, we always visited an India shop after school - a place of tranquility and exoticism, where one could easily escape the mundane school routine. Colorful batik dresses, jingling jewelry, and whole batteries of tiny perfume oil bottles were a welcome sight. And with my meager pocket money, I could even afford...

gentle spice
The theme of "melancholy" is indeed present in Skarb, as it greets me with a soft spiciness and a sweet-fruity note. The absinthe? The barley is also soft and musky - accompanied by a soothing cup of chamomile tea. It smells comforting and soothing, like mom's warm barley soup, which was cooked for strength during time...

Oh - well
The Montale fragrances either elicit a joyful Oh la la - or an irritated Oh well. However, when reading the ingredient list, I was in a positive mood, as lavender always suits me, and oud, when it’s not too spicy. But the first spray leaves me taken aback. I have never smelled such a harsh lavender before. The oud stan...

Musenkuss
With Modern Muse and Chic, I initially struggled a bit because I found the two graces too elegant for me. I appreciated these muses in my mom - and she encouraged me to wear both for a longer time. And - lo and behold - they also go well with my rather casual outfit. A muse kiss with delayed effects. That's why I confi...

for the Green Coats
My family is strictly divided Westphalian-style, into the "Merchant Guild" and the "Forest Faction". I always keep this in mind when I search for gifts for my loved ones. And today I found a fragrance in Arboretum that makes the hearts of the Green Coats beat faster. Arboretum is like a hearty walk in the woods, throug...

The Flame
I enjoy wearing Si EdT and Si Passione intense also has its place in my collection. Is there still a need for Eclat? I think so, because it is sweeter and warmer than the aforementioned fragrances. The centifolia and vanilla provide the sweet direction, and the rose adds elegance. Musk gives it a touch of eroticism, fi...
