A darker, more mature Miss Dior....
... Chypre character meets the Orient! Miss Dior Vintage is not familiar to my nose ... I haven't yet explored the original Miss Dior, which is still available today. Therefore, my comments refer to the fragrances I have personally sniffed :) Miss Dior Chérie from 2005 unfortunately passed me by, and the successor from...

Golden Scent for the Longed-For Summer
Hm... Goldea doesn't seem to be getting much love here, and I really don't think this beautiful scent deserves that. For a long time, I hesitated whether I should rather get Olympea because I quite like the salty vanilla in it, but then I realized that I'm not really into Paco Rabanne, and the many types of musk listed...

... incensed ...
Hope by Agonist arrived as a small sample vial. Since there are no comments here yet, I’ll try to be the first to comment on this fragrance. Partly also because a dear Parfumo recently said I only write about sweet stuff ;) About the scent: Hope starts with an ethereal orange peel that comes with a fresh cologne note....

Fire Island in Laundry Scent
I was so curious about this Bond No. 9 and thanks to a lovely Parfumo, I was able to swap for a decant of it. Hawaiian Tropic would have been nice... at least something like that. Well... laundry detergent was mentioned and floral milk instead of sunscreen, etc. But I don't want to be deterred and will test it myself :...

Paradoxe Vanilla!
With Les Parfums de Rosine, I have never found anything appealing - but these new, brightly colored bottles have piqued my curiosity :) Comments were requested, otherwise testing wouldn't work, said our perfume chief ;) So, alright ... I'll start with the vanilla without much fuss! About the scent: Vanille Paradoxe sta...

Totally crazy ... Powder dust on wood
For me, Lab on Fire is an exciting brand and this is the third fragrance that has come to my nose. Sweetsmell was bold once again and has managed to snag a leftover bottle :) Thanks to the dear Parfumo, because somehow this fragrance is totally crazy... and even the few comments and statements had made me very curious....

Velvet Water
Velvet that falls on the skin like snowflakes and warms your soul ... that is Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours! Actually, this is not my usual type. Rose is tricky, especially in combination with patchouli. I didn't like unsweet scents at all until recently, but this fragrance has stuck with me after the test. So I told m...

Dangerous? ... oh yes ;)
Do you know that feeling... you discover a scent that neither particularly excites you nor triggers a desire to have it, yet it won’t leave your mind? That’s what happened to me with Dangereuse :) The fragrance was recommended to me by a lovely perfumer, and she even sent me a sample to test. Thank you for that :) I sn...
