Exactly light blue!

This Hermes and offshoot of the Merveilles series is a turquoise gift. An exquisite, floral aquat, slightly foggy and spindly, but incredibly beautiful. Addresses me right, has me under a certain spell. For me the most wearable of the collection. At least on my rough male skin ;)...

"Merveilles Bleue" skilfully meets its light blue, is a mineral refreshment of the extra class. This is high-end designer perfumery, no question. 75% of niche fragrances do not achieve this. But of course the price here is also crisp and almost in niche spheres, but you can almost live with that. Because I enjoy this breeze very much, there is an amazing peace on my soul, right next to my swimming trunks. Whether Cote d'Azur or Sylt - the main thing is Spain. Or Hermes, for that matter. Because this blue star warrior is delicate and strong at the same time, expensive and easy to wear, enormously accessible and yet complex enough to never drift off into boredom. Elegant scent, tart flowers, a puddle of juicy velvet and dusty beautiful silk. A light blue beach dress, a diving trip with a marriage proposal, a jump into the cold water, which is worth it. Slightly snooty snorkeling, but something behind. Variegated violets. A convertible drives into the infinity pool. Swam away with a black eye. Salty princess. Timeless key witness. Clam shells. Lily sailors.

Flacon: ultra beautiful & suitable
Sillage: sea breeze & excellent for the beach bar. But of course rather very quietly.
Durability: surprisingly durable - if you do not jump into the water... 5-7 hours.

Conclusion: the blue one from the series is a fascinating, unique, transparent and lovely aquat - luxurious, mineral, transparent. Rather a marble tub than a sandy beach. Wonderful for holidays, island and coast

The salt on my cheeks

Like a soap bubble, the moment seems to burst. I'm silenced. Would I lose again? Would I be the black sheep again? Would it happen again that I would look like the naughty child, ordered and not picked up?

But I control myself. Otherwise, they'd notice him. My shadow. My perfect eye shadow, which would make up my perfect mask.

I had packed myself a sample of Eau des Merveilles Bleue's scent, why don't I remember any more. But I put it on and notice a sharp after-shave note that seems anything but feminine. And gives me an undreamt-of strength.

Yes, After Shave. But what was the Shave in this case that I needed the after that? I wanted to try out a men's fragrance for a long time, why do I tell you another time.

They say there's spray in the scent. The Internet says that spray is the mixture of water and air. Whether in artificial or natural waters. It should be created by mechanical action such as wind. Like a collision of the waves on strong wind or the setting of a ship. Maybe that's why I've already noticed this pinch before. But maybe I'm on the wrong boat, too. Steamship, ship, maybe I have noticed this scent on a ship before. How the sea foam in the air on a walk on the beach ... I wonder what Posseidon would have said about that scent Well, who knows ...

Let's say the scent is an aquate, but different than expected ...

And I still almost smell After Shave, but I don't know which one. Maybe one from the Marc Jacobs Splash Collection Pear or Cotton? I don't know ... Someone wrote here in the statments that the scent smells bitter and I can confirm that, so bitter that almost a lady's beard grows to me. But somehow he also gives me an undreamt-of serenity through his astringency. An unexpected John Wayne mode. I feel like a masculine sailor on the high seas. Only in the Morthisha Adams look, whereby my repertoire of swear words, if I would be let go at some point, could make Popeye jealous, of course. Someone with Tourette's syndrome might not mind today.

A little later, I smell disinfectant. But wait, this comes from the break room ...

When I take a break with my colleague, I realize why. The colleague who was supposed to get a job from the Lebenshilfewerkstatt to clean up with us is to blame for this. And what I was surprised when he took everything so seriously that he even disinfected everything.

I confess, I'm totally into the smell of disinfectant. Somehow I can't tell if it's from his cleaning or the scent. But it's pleasant.

You must know, the colleague has trisomy, which is Down syndrome. But his laughter is so contagious that I wonder what I sometimes do wrong in life.

He says he really wants the job because that would mean so much for him and his future. I'm so touched that even now I'm about to shed a tear, but I know I can't.

When he asks his colleague with his infectious smile how my colleague looks in private, she says only smiling: "I have a cat". And that should be the beginning of a conversation that should conjure up one or two little tears for me, but with laughter, insight and emotion, that there are still people who would make the most of their lives and their faith in the future, despite the few possibilities.

When I go to the bathroom, I wash off the scent. It was a little like tears or salt water on my skin. But through this experience I have understood that both this Hermes scent and tears of sorrow are too expensive not to believe in a happier tomorrow

Summer in times of Corona: I make my own sea. There!

Yes, it was hard for me to work through the summer and so I got used to just grabbing scents that made me happy. And so I dug out Eau de Merveilles Bleau, because it smells like the sea to me - but not Mediterranean, but more northern: Like the south coast of England at Brighton Pier
I smell wood and ocean here. The spray note is especially cool, it reminds you of sea and vastness. The patchouli gives the fragrance a depth and a great durability. If you can still get it and are looking for a great aquatic, you definitely have a sweetheart here. For me, it's not a typical clean aquatic scent, but a cool, multidimensional unisex scent that has great depth for an aquaten.

In search of an aquaten

Today I was allowed to fish a bottling of this fragrance from the mail.
I thought that I was getting on the nerves of my hubby (GöGa for short) with my search for new fragrances (OK, that there should be several, he doesn't really know yet).
Far from it, he wanted to smell it immediately and after several times he even asked me to spray some of it on me.
Of course, I immediately put my nose into the fragrance cloud - beginner's mistake.
Plus, we both really like him.
The freshness is enchanting and I could swear that there is also something flowery in it. But maybe it's just Amber Above all this flowery impression has a certain dryness, which I find very beautiful.
And now we're both trying to figure out what the smell reminds us of.
In any case, I am glad to have a lot of it, which I will get by with for a while, as I always use fragrances very sparingly

Sailing boat

This perfume reminds me totally of the Baltic or North Sea. I can only agree with the previous speakers.

I have been looking for some time for an aquatic fragrance that I really like, because I have so my little problems with summer fragrances in general. Rarely do I like one. Either they smell me too much like a fruit cocktail and coconut or the citrus notes are too pungent for me. Far too quickly I have then citrus pungent cleaning products in the nose.
Both I have here fortunately not. I smell here just freshness and the sea. So exactly what I was looking for.
Why the fragrance is classified rather as feminine, I can not understand. I feel the fragrance as completely unisex. I smell nothing explicitly feminine.
To my autumn and winter fragrances this fragrance still does not come, but at least it is so far the best Aquate, which I have smelled.
