The delicate powder of the sand dunes!
I had almost forgotten about this "Cheapie" when I was looking for another fragrance. And of course, I had to spray it on. Firstly, to test whether it hasn't "tipped" yet and secondly, if 1. doesn't apply, how it smells at all! Now I spontaneously come to the conclusion: SO RICHLY GOOD!
Just how good only becomes clear after a while. Because it starts off very "fruity" and unspectacular. Apple, peach and tangerine in a delicate "minor key"...
After a quarter of an hour, an enchanting rose slowly blossoms. And a good portion of a very "sandy" and powdery (tart!) floral scent, reminiscent of strawflowers or something similar. An equally "sandy" woody note joins in. Cedar! A hint of vanilla adds subtle sweet depth and well-matured patchouli, just a trace, makes the fragrance pleasantly "dark".
Sand dunes immediately spring to mind, like those found on the North and Baltic Seas. Fine-grained mixes with something "coarser" and "powder-fine". I love digging my toes in and the velvety sandpaper feeling puts a smile on my face!
It lasts longer than expected. Even after a few hours, I can still clearly "feel" it olfactorily, half an arm's length away from the source of the fragrance!
Conclusion: This "Cheapie" is a very "fine one" ;-))

"I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care" or: off to the 50s!
Do you remember this song? "Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair" Sometimes I feel a bit out of place in our fast-paced, consumerist and superficial society and would rather live in the 50s or 60s. When things were high quality and built to last a lifetime, and you tried to fix them first before throwing them away. When people still went dancing in clean suits and didn't squiggle around the dance floor in sweatpants or jeans ripped beyond recognition to terribly nondescript music like they were in an epileptic fit. When you still had style.

Yes, "Original" also seems to me to have been born into the wrong world, or at least the wrong olfactory world. It is exceptionally well made and could cost many times more. Of course, you have to make a few sacrifices for the price, but it really doesn't matter because the scent is just so mega smooth. Funny word, but I try "original" as best I can for you aufudröseln.

I've been asked about "Original" quite a few times, and only in a positive way. He was for a while something like my signature fragrance and even now he is still worn by me, but he really comes best in the autumn to the advantage. He harmonizes exquisitely with the golden autumn sun, the fresh smell of colorful leaves and clear, pleasantly warm air.

I can fully agree with Peanuts' comment and have to use some attributes already chosen by her to describe this perfume, as they also haunt my mind when I spray on "Original". There's just something cool about it, a golden brown sparkling melt (but not bronze) and it's insanely unusual for a "drugstore" scent. Delightfully angular in the otherwise often so colorful-fruity unity platter, although I have absolutely nothing against mainstream.
With me, the top note is somehow skipped or goes smoothly into the heart note. Fruity I can almost not smell out. He starts at most briefly crispy fresh with bergamot, before I can already smell something like sun-warm, soft skin. Accompanied by something lightly smoky and cognac suede, a light scent of high-end spirits and amber. Vanilla smooths out the somewhat angular scent a bit and rose makes it feminine. Which I would be very interested to see how it would smell on a gentleman. I'll ask Elena's dad if he'll try it. H+S are good, I can still detect it well until late afternoon, on clothes for days.

I've owned it for about 7 or 8 years, and I actually can't remember how it came to me, or through what. However, he has left so much impression that the first 50ml bottle was emptied in no time and had to be repurchased urgently.
If I had to describe "original" with one word, it would be "vintage". Or "old-timer", and that is by no means meant negatively.
I see a handsome gentleman sitting in the driver's seat of an Opel Rekord, one arm casually on the steering wheel, the other resting on the rolled-down window. His dark hair brilliantly coiffed with pomade, but not "slapped down". Probably fresh from the barber's. He wears the Sunday clothes typical for this time and seems to be waiting for someone. The seats are made of shiny soft suede, exhaling their typical smell. The dashboard has some real wood detailing (no idea if that was ever the case by model, in my mind it looks exactly the same) which also exudes its wonderful resinous smell. However, it is not a pure non-smoking car, as the gentleman indulges in a nice after-work cigar from time to time.
The car smells of luxury, but not decadent luxury. The gentleman is from a good family, but has earned everything himself and continues to run his father's company with ambition and a good hand.
Yeah, "Original" seems to me like it's straight out of the 50s or 60s. More like the 50s.
The car is parked in front of some kind of diner, and it's a balmy summer evening. Finally his beloved comes around the corner, of course in a petticoat dress and the typical rockabilly hairstyle.
He takes a quick sip from the hip flask, which must contain cognac, and then gets out with a dazzling toothpaste smile to receive her.
Oh, he left his suede jacket. Well never mind, if the two of them are shaking a leg now, he certainly won't need it.

-- PS: forgive me if I have confused some (un)typical things for this time, but that's exactly how I associate the perfume --

The woods are already colourful ...
... yellow the stubble fields - and autumn begins...

This beautiful, slightly melancholic song I liked to sing with my mother.

And autumn also has its beautiful sides - because it immerses everything in a mild golden light.

And it sounds cozy when the leaves rustling under your boots when you walk.

Women fit very well into this atmosphere.

The fruity notes are aromatic, but not overly sweet and the lily blends quietly with them.
Gentle rose is added, surrounded by soft vanilla.
The cedar blows lightly over it - without weight.

Women reflects a mild autumn day on which the sun is still warm.

This time is likely to last until spring - and skip the icy winter.

But the golden autumn with its colourful forests is in good hands in this nostalgic bottle.
