Surprised
With this perfume, I realized again that although the ingredients have not Zugesagt me just as little the bottle (which in my opinion is not really beautiful or elegant) but this fragrance has enchanted me with its entire Kompostion.

Powdery , feminine and not really intrusive.
It wears like silk.

Innovative, creative, relaxed - perfect!
Fresh as an unknown, but not sweet fruit or perhaps a vegetable, not watermelon, not cucumber, but comparable in freshness and with an unusually delicate, aromatic spiciness, Elderflower begins right away with a surprise.
After already two minutes increasingly spicy and now sweetish, but still bright and rather light, I feel this impressive fragrance after nearly 2000 tested as something really new. At the same time, it comes across as coherent in such a light-footed, self-evident way that it also stands out pleasantly from other fragrances that are novel: Here, nothing seems intentional, striking, demonstrative, but it simply creates the impression that here someone has had irrepressible joy to create a wonderful fragrance and has proceeded with intuition and cheerfulness.

To the heart note, the unknown, fresh fruit and the aromatic combine with a new, also fruity and yet mildly sweet, yet not at all acidic note to a bright, warm, slightly creamy with ease floating melange that soothes. Further, they are all notes that I know so far from no other fragrance.
The only thing that I think I recognize is a very delicate, light touch of heliotrope.

And so we now have something doubly familiar to me: firstly, the heliotrope and secondly, my Jo Malone phenomenon. I have not yet been able to follow the pyramid with a single Jo Malone. I have so far tested 11 fragrances of the brand and only one I can -removed- discover what is indicated as fragrance notes (at Tropical Cherimoya).
Maybe my previous disappointment by this brand is related to that: I do like to get samples of fragrances whose pyramid appeals to me. With the Malones this approach did not work so far at all.

Gen base, the heliotrope impression and the fruity still increase a little and the very fresh notes from the beginning withdraw, otherwise the character remains the same: Aromatic, mild, bright and except for the heliotrope completely new, fruity, without me the fruit seems familiar.
The durability seems mediocre when I wear it, but the next day I can hardly get my nose away from my leather bracelet, which must have gotten a spray.
I really appreciate both the scent of elderflowers, the juice of elderberries and also a bit of the tart scent from the elderflower. I also like gooseberries. Here, none of that is to be found.
This time, however, I still got a dreamy scent with my choice after Pyramid, which I will love and wear with great pleasure.
Thank you Geschpusi!
Only after my elderflower fragrance I must then probably still look for.
