A treasure of a special kind

There he is, coming sweetly and engagingly, worming his way skillfully and extremely benevolently into my heart and remaining there! Yes a big portion of fruity sweetness but not the spring-summer sweetness but rather the one that goes into autumn and winter, finely arranged with vanilla and a topping with amber. If it was a dessert I would be totally addicted to it (oh my hips). An exquisitely well tangled noble fragrance with a lot of cuddle warmth and a cuddly seductive aura. Wonderful to wear this fine and noble perfume and to catch a scent again and again and to know that this is me! I don't think I need to tell you that it lasts forever and a little bit more...
The bottle is a usual heavy glass cuboid that lies well in the hand with a black cap, with a honey golden content that already sends out its promises. A great temptation that few girls can resist. Price is with 65 ml contents with approx. 125 euros. One needs only little spraying, it is very productive and durable. Men like him is like with the moths and the light. The reader may forgive me the comparison should only describe the wonderful attraction he has to the other sex. I say this investment is worthwhile - it is a little treasure that already contains 1000 compliments.

Cose della vita...

Who does not know the catchy duet of Eros Ramazotti with the great Tina Turner? Even now it still plays toothlessly on the radio from time to time, 22 years after its appearance. Dolce & Gabbana's golden donkey The One did not yet exist, not to mention the Essence. And yet I immediately associate this song with this fragrance - and my three-week road trip through Tuscany, the most beautiful holiday of my life so far. It was eighteen years ago now, I had just finished school, and I was young, free, full of life, enterprising, and felt as alive as you can only feel at that age. Together with my uncle Salvatore, my aunt and my teenage cousin we drove for 2 days in an old Mondeo station wagon in Salvatore's old home country, listening not to Eros but to Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses and the Ramones until we pitched our tents in Genoa on a campground directly at the sea. On top of the rocks you could hear the sea rushing by night, and the moon threw flashing will-o'-the-wisps on the water. Down on the shore often sat a boy who played the guitar. A few days later we went on to Florence and Pisa, until we spent another two weeks in Follonica, we camped in a pine forest, sunny during the day and warm, azure blue water. In the evening we strolled through the little town, everything was colourful and cheerful, at night the sea roared, it smelled of pines, sand and sun on the skin, and the cicadas sang. This summer I lost my heart to Italy, they are wonderful memories, but there is also a little bit of melancholy, because time and youth cannot be brought back - but this attitude towards life, even if only for a moment. I wasn't aware of it myself until I sniffed at The One Essence. Because that's what I smell here - happiness, light-heartedness and sun on your skin. This fragrance radiates so much warmth and cordiality, starts with good-humoured citrus notes, then becomes pleasantly floral; the most beautiful, however, is the amber vanilla base. The comparison with the warm peach cake is already there - for me not only a winter scent, but also, precisely because of my association, a scent for balmy summer evenings. The fragrance never disappears, but is in perfect harmony with the skin, gently plays around and remains perceptible. Nevertheless I understand the critical voices who wish for more perseverance and Sillage for an Essence. At least he lasts much longer than his big sister, who is not developing as beautifully as TOE. In the hair or on scarves or collars the durability is also much higher. The bottle is beautiful, straightforward, typically Italian, chic into old age and with a casual implicitness that was unknown to me until then - it was the first time I saw old ladies and gentlemen who, unlike at home, radiated so much pride, elegance and joie de vivre.
Back in Germany, life went on as usual, I lived on my very healthy skin colour for a while (which I never reached again afterwards), and Tuscany was more and more forgotten. Until I met the golden liquid of The One Essence. Cose della vita, smash Eros. Sometimes it is the (small) things in life. Thank you, Dolce & Gabbana, for this time travel

The essence of seduction

The first time I saw this scent on my favourite drugstore's shelves I imagined a woman wearing a little black dress and fumé tights walking on the streets of an Italian city by night and giving off the trail of her charming scent. and the scent is this essence, a true love potion.
At the opening, it hits your nose with fresh fruity accents, very mediterranean and in the Dolce & Gabbana's style , then you smell an intoxicating and warm jasmin at the heart, while I find that the lily of the valley , although present, is very light and just perceivable, at least on my skin.
The base is rich and warm and the amber notes, nor bitter neithe rmedicinal, are enveloping, as well as the dry vanilla, not sweetish and very well balanced. There ones are very longlasting on my skin, so the sillage results good and overall very charming. It's an "absolute" scent, for a woman who says yes or no, determined, but extremely feminin. A four season scent to wear whenever you want to feel sexy but classy at the same time.
The squared bottle with the black top is minimal, but very refined . so, a little jewel , a jus of seduction , quite expensive but really powerful. A new love is born. Italian style doesn't lie!
