Medieval church
At the Speyer Medieval Market I was asked about the fragrance twice. A surprise? Probably more of a tactical calculation.

I associate this fragrance with an old, medieval church with stone walls shrouded in incense and wooden floors soaked in smoke. This paired with leather bindings of old books.
Not in the musty way, however, but in the soothing, warm way. The incense and sandalwood are the stars here.
The fragrance is also very unisex and, despite its association with old & medieval times, does not give off any ''old man/woman vibes''. A dream for some, a horror for others.
My mother (only light fragrances, very sensitive to heavy notes) also commented very positively on the fragrance, but said at the same time that the day, the circumstances and the person have to be right to get the beneficial essence out of this fragrance. For the sake of the wearer and the environment. She is right. It is not a fragrance for everyday wear and it really has to suit you so as not to burden your environment.

Conclusion: It was a blind buy that really hit the mark for me. In the sale for about 11 euros for 15ml, not much could have gone wrong. However, 15ml are currently 28 euros, quite steep, so wait for the sale. Great fragrance, but I don't use it often, so it's better to buy the small version first and use it up if necessary.

Vanilla surprise
I tested a mystery sample of a dear friend of mine. It's fun to do and it helps me to learn identify the different notes in an fragrance. I tested it twice. This morning when I was bored to death and this afternoon while training in the gym. Testing during sports always gives an extra dimension...I think... I immediately see how the other gymbuddies react when I saunter by, but more importantly… sweat does a lot to a perfume.

That was not the case with this mystery sample, because both times I observed the same thing. Not an opening that is uninvigorating, but one that is sensual and warm, with a slightly sweet background. Also something peppery-stinging like with bergamot, but what I mainly smell is warm vanilla. Or is it tonka bean, because every now and then I get associations with a warm dessert.

This scent often misleads me. And definitely in a good way.
The vanilla stays in the background like a loyal guide, but my experience goes from balsamic, to something fruity like pineapple, then back to a light incense. From there, the whole story starts all over again, as if my guide is bringing me back to the starting point. So it goes round and round and round ;-)

No, it all happens very subtly and it's nice. I think they put a lump of benzoin resin in the pudding somewhere.
With my eyes closed, this abstract artwork goes from the colors golden/yellow with metallic sparks to golden red with a silvery white vapor. Are you following me? In the drydown, things are calming down and a creamy sandelwood rises.

I think we're dealing with a nice amber scent here with vanilla, labdanum and benzoin resin with sandalwood somewhere at the very bottom. I would wear this to a fancy brunch or at home when it's freezing outside and I'm lying on the couch with a thick cardigan and a hot cup of chocolate milk.

In the evening my friend told me that I had tested Ambre Iris Santal. Spot on... That means this fragrance does what it's supposed to do.
A nice warm amber, which probably has a nice powder in the winter.
