A cup of happiness and rubies

I was more familiar with Bvlgari as the "mainstream operator".
When I was sneaking through the city the week before last, looking for a new fragrance (my wallet doesn't like it at all, but what the hell), a saleswoman recommended me to test the Bvlgari "Le Gemme Düfte" and before I could refuse, she sprayed Rubinia on a test strip and handed it to me. Inside I already twisted my eyes and thought to myself "I'm sure it's a 0-8-15- Bvlgari water again (sorry to all Bvlgari lovers ;)

I accepted the test strip and ... and ... and... was like enchanted...!

"What's his name again and what's in it?"? "
This scent smells like a chalice full of luck and rubies ;) WOW!

Of course, I couldn't take a vein and had to try Rubinia on my skin right away...

In the first moment I could clearly see the tangerine... but a creamy and not so fruity tangerine (?) and somehow cherries... Red juicy cherries, something like Amaretto... (I know, it's not in the fragrance pyramid, but I felt that way).

I'm not really a fan of fruity scents, but Rubinia is somehow fruity, but somehow also "unfruitful". I don't know how to describe this exactly... strange, but strangely good!

The saleswoman gave me a sample and I left the store...

After a while there was even more creaminess, Tonka bean played clearly and then it became powdery with me! I love powder and Rubinia is really great... not dusty powdery, but creamy powdery

Again and again I had to smell my wrist..

Rubinia smells unsweet-cherry-creamy-powdery with me... insanely great and very extravagant, as I could not notice it before with a smell...

Days later I tested Rubinia again in peace at home and had the same impressions as at the first "test"... "unsüss-kirschig-cremig-pudrig"

I was thinking about the price... 350.- Swiss franc... whoo, I'll certainly get into a fight with my wallet... But I could get another sample? (shame)

So I went back to the store and started talking to the Bvlgari salesgirl. "Today is 15% on everything" she told me happily and then I didn't torch much longer and took my goblet full of luck and rubies home with me ;) Oh how great, I have my Rubinia :)

Soul scent and the thing with half a glass standing up

Since the first test sprayer Rubinia was on my wish list and since the day before yesterday in my collection. This is the reason for my comment, although I can't describe any completely new impressions or impressions that deviate from my previous commentator.

The scent touches something in my soul, so I have a need to write about it. I gave it a 9.0 rating, although I can't even say that I fully and exclusively like it. This may sound strange to you readers and will hopefully become a little more understandable as you continue.

Besides the perception of scents, attributes go through my head as special and special and different, sometimes even peculiar. This is due to an exotic note that blends into the otherwise predominantly balsamic almond scent. I still do not know whether it is primarily due to the copaiba balsam, because I have not yet encountered it in its pure form. It's probably just the interplay of a lot of things. This many is for me:

- Tonka almond
to the same extent
- Sandalwood-creamy
a little less
- Jasmine flowery and mandarin fruity
and in between
- creamy- powdery

I don't notice an essential course, the scent is quite constant on me, apart from the powderiness, which occurs only temporarily for me and which I perceive much more strongly at warmer temperatures than at cool. For me it is a fragrance for the coming season, autumn, possibly also winter. Plus 100% feminine, I can't imagine him in a man. The durability is in contrast to the other Le Gemme fragrances I have gotten to know extraordinarily good. I always find it difficult to evaluate the sillage, but what I can contribute is that I can perceive the fragrance well myself over a period of up to 10 hours. 2-3 fine sprays are enough for this.

Rubinia for me is more a scent of well-being than a perfume. So I don't even know if I want to wear it in everyday life, during activity, in company. Certainly not to smell good for others. No, I wear it when I feel like deceleration, security and peace. Then Rubinia gives a pleasant feeling, as Gandix has already described it in her apt commentary with'familiarity' and'balancing-harmonising'.

However, for me it is not a sofa-cuddle-smell, nothing to loiter in the jogging pants, a piece of ready-made pizza in my hand. Not at all, because the other qualities I attribute to her are a kind of sublime beauty and elegance. Rubinia does not want to please, she "is". I combine wearing them with a well-groomed evening accompanied by relaxing music, on which you dress yourself, even on your own, perhaps casually but carefully. Or by visiting an art exhibition at a time of day when only a few visitors can romp around and enjoy in silence.

When I started writing the commentary, I didn't feel I could say much, especially not much new, about the fragrance. Then this line from a song by Reinhard Mey came to my mind "What I still had to say takes a cigarette and a last glass standing up". Strange that one remembers some songs from earlier times that one never hears again. I then looked up the text and think many lines from it fit quite well to this forum. I would like to say goodbye from the comment then times with these:

"... I thank you for the time I have chatted with you'
And for your patience, if there was more than one opinion
For never asking when I'm coming or going
For the ever-open door I'm standing in now..."

Intimacy

Picnic

for dessert there was fluffy almond cream
the almond note at the beginning even slightly marzipan,
which turns into pure almond cream, but maintains a minimal bitter pinch quite slightly.

I lie on a blanket, next to it a few flowers bloom, delicate, fine;
the little daughter her head close to me.
I can smell her light make-up quite discreetly.
She stretched her arm slightly away from herself How nice to smell that familiar smell of your own child,
No more baby, no more child, one adult woman,
but still familiar.

Your friend, a bit next to us, eats a mandarin after a while
a balanced, harmonious family afternoon.

Until here. then Master Teint de Neige passes by for a short time, with powder in his luggage.
Not by a long shot like at home and more almond powder,
but a little memory is there.
Fortunately, he doesn't stay long and disappears again.
All that remains is a pleasant touch of him. Actually more creamy again, like at the beginning.

I almost think I perceive some vanilla blossom, the tonka bean is quite discreet. I don't perceive any wood.
The copaiv balsam together with the mandarin is said to have a balancing and harmonising effect. This is quite successful here.

I sprayed a lot today, the Sillage is good to see and also the durability is quite good.
Altogether I like the fragrance very much, only the short touch of Teint de Neige remembrance could be left out.
