The spirit of the valley prefers to drink whiskey!
In my opinion, the spirit of the valley, as this fragrance is translated here, sounds like a legendary figure from Nordic mythology, or at least like a creature in which Vikings or Celts believed.
In reality, however, "Glen" probably means something else. Namely Glenlivet 18, a whiskey, which you perfumed bols, uh... drunkards surely knew, didn't you? :))
In any case, this fragrance is meant to be a homage to this whiskey, which among other things contains aromas of pears, hay and vanilla, which also appear in the fragrance pyramid in this fragrance (and among other things are actually smellable, at least to some extent).
I'm afraid I'm not a whiskey expert, so I can't say anything more about that. And if we ever drink whiskey here, it's mixed with coke (I know I know it's an outrage now) to make it drinkable at all, or rather to be able to drink longer, without starting after the first glass totally drunk to give away his fragrance collection or something... ha ha, you'd like that, wouldn't you? D
Anyway, let's see how the scent smells!
Over time, the fragrance acquires a further, slightly sweetish note, which then seems amber-like to me. It goes very well with the alcoholic whiskey note and even takes on a slightly vanilla taste in the later base... I naturally meant fragrance, which I find beautiful.
So that was Spirit of the Glen. The spirit of the valley. This ghost seems to like drinking one, and it looks like whiskeys are often the drinks of his choice :D
Nah, I already said in the introduction that this is a tribute to the whiskey Glenlivet 18. And even if I don't know the whiskey, this fragrance has become quite great. In fact, it has a quite good-smelling, but also good-scented alcoholic note with the whiskey, which together with the subtle, vanilla sweetness and the woody notes makes it a really very nice scent for me, especially in autumn or like now in winter. In my opinion it is therefore very worth testing if you like woody scents with alcoholic notes.
Hm, you feel like drinking whiskey or pouring your throat with alcohol :D Fortunately there are many variations of mulled wine on the Christmas market, so that you can quickly satisfy your alcoholic cravings there :D
And okay, even if it's "only" mulled wine, it can also dig in after a few cups! And my recommendation, what I had recently discovered at the great Parfumo-Treff and the (unfortunately short) common trip to the Frankfurt Christmas Market: ... Hm... I shouldn't say it, you will surely laugh... but that was really so delicious... well, I say it... try the...
Snowman punch! :DDD
Mu ha ha, funny name, but delicious! I think it was with mulled wine, amaretto, rum and cream... try it out, he he :)
Well then, see you next time and have a nice evening :)

Anyway, let's see how the scent smells!
The fragrance:
At the beginning I smell woody notes, whiskey and a slightly sweet note. The sweetish note is also slightly fruity, I suppose it comes from the pear, although I can't identify the pear 100%. I also find that the scent in the background is a bit dry and bitter. Perhaps it is because of the hay that the scent smells slightly dry, the tart should come from the whiskey or malt. Above all, however, the fragrance also seems a little smoky to me, not in the sense of incense, but more like tobacco. However, this gradually disappears after a while. Over time, the fragrance acquires a further, slightly sweetish note, which then seems amber-like to me. It goes very well with the alcoholic whiskey note and even takes on a slightly vanilla taste in the later base... I naturally meant fragrance, which I find beautiful.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
The charisma is good, quite good even. A few sprayers are enough to smell the scent quite well even from a distance. So in any case you leave a scent cloud with this scent! I also liked the shelf life of over ten hours!The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has the Hylnds label on the front, i.e. a label that shows the name of the fragrance, but was also written on it in another font, "Hylnds". The lid is black and quite large. Hmm... I think that the fragrance could still have a brownish, whiskey-like color as the fragrance liquid... well, the bottle is still quite okay. So that was Spirit of the Glen. The spirit of the valley. This ghost seems to like drinking one, and it looks like whiskeys are often the drinks of his choice :D
