The Night Watch
Last night, my girlfriend threw me out of bed because she has worries. Yes, at night, dark thoughts plague you the most. So I prepare myself for Rembrandt's Night Watch - because friendship is not just about laughing together - but also about watching over each other. But I have no gun ready - instead, I have muffins,...

Fragrance with Drive
Today I had to check on things again at the English department store, as I come across brands there that I haven't encountered before. You can't test them there - so you have to rely on your instinct. So with the title: "French Connection," I was only reminded of the thriller of the same name, in which Gene Hackman fig...

A Touch of Exotic in Everyday Life
Since I like the Jimmy Choo fragrances, I ordered Blossom blindly. When it arrived, I was already taken by the beautiful bottle with the pink liquid. But the first spray turned out to be very light and somewhat nondescript. Disappointed, I set it aside. However, after just a few minutes, a pleasantly sweet fruity scent...

Violette Viola
Today I was somehow addicted to scents. Even in the supermarket, I found myself drawn to the fragrance section - and what do my violet-blue eyes discover? Violet Noir. Christina has gifted me many beautiful fragrances, so I buy the perfume blind. In the car, I discover that the box has already been opened. Strange that...

Valuable Moments
This fragrance reminds me of my father's wood-paneled office, where he diligently sat at his curved heavy desk. Even the two elegant receptionists intimidated me a little - but they gave me a sense of importance when they announced me by phone, like a distinguished guest. Strange how the ambiance affects you, as I was...

kissed by the muse?
After being somewhat ambivalent towards the other muses - EdP and Chic - I also tried the perfume. Chic managed to find its way into my collection after initial skepticism. Therefore, I allow this scent, and myself, more time. This muse does not leap at me to embrace me warmly - yet she is not reserved and does not nee...

like a virgin to the child...
... I came to this fragrance. Since my friend lives around the corner from Rossi, I asked her to bring me Anna Sui for an incredible 9.99, as this fragrance has accompanied me for many years and I have already repurchased it online at inflated prices. I repeated my fragrance wish slowly and clearly several times - but...

In the Barber's Shop
Penhaligon No 33 reminds me of my time in London, where I was always fascinated by the coexistence of tradition and modernity. Punks, eccentrics, and conservatives coexisted in the most peaceful way. I like this British tolerance. I also enjoyed peeking into the venerable, wood-paneled barber shops, where the sirs rest...

Open Roof Day
In the past, my three friends and I formed a carpool - this way we could save on gas, listen to music, chat, and have more fun than on the dull DB. I was chosen as the driver because I had the biggest car - a Cedes with a top Becker sound system. And the four of us had plenty of space to lounge comfortably in the vehic...

Flirt in a Silk Dress
I already own several dahlias of various kinds - and I wouldn't want to miss any of them. Should Nude be added to the bouquet? I think so, because this dahlia is sweet and smooth in a soft, enchanting way. I don't perceive this scent as "nude," as I already feel attractively dressed by it. It's like slipping into a nud...

Dark Jasmine
The Arthes fragrances have always brought me joy - and at an unbeatable price. I am not a cheapskate, but I appreciate when something good is also affordable. And the Arthes are fully-fledged, independent fragrances - without a dupe character. So I approached Jasmin de Provence with a positive mindset. However, jasmine...
