I expected more from MFK... Vanilla, vanilla, vanilla...

No secret, for me Francis Kurkdjian is a master, an artist, actually my number 1 perfumer...I love his fragrances because they are extravagant, unique and all tell a story. The different phases, from the top notes to the base notes are very easy to differentiate and usually make his fragrances so unique and worth every cent...

Samples have arrived and I can't wait to test the scent. I spray a little on my wrist. I can't believe it but a very nice vanilla scent is spreading around me but that's it. Like, what, no story this time...??? Vanilla nothing else, zero, zero...I immediately think, hmm, you know this scent from so many designer scents... Smells like one of thousands of "mainstream" vanilla designer scents... Never in my life would I have thought that this fragrance was created by MFK... I give the fragrance 4 stars, because it smells really nice, soft and quite irresistible, but it is not a masterpiece and for me it is much too boring and unspectacular for a MFK perfume and not worth the money.

Then I wait anxiously for the story, heart note and base note... Again only vanilla, vanilla and vanilla...

Well, disappointed the sample is put aside, not mine, I will never buy.

In order not to dispose of the sample I spray it on in the evening after the shower. My husband is crazy about it. Wow, you smell so nice. My goodness, you smell good. .....Hmmmm, and now?? I am confused..
I'll use the rest the next day. As soon as I arrive at the store, a woman asks me which perfume I use, because it smells so fantastic. I'm confused. Okay, I'll just buy some rolls at the bakery and go home. Uh, nope... First I have to tell the saleswoman at the bakery which irresistible smell I use.

Conclusion: an obviously irresistible vanilla scent, not mine but it hails compliments when I carry the stretcher

But still...

It's true, it's nothing new. It's true that I've smelled something similar, and yet... still, there's something addictive about that perfume
It is not my favorite of Maison Francis Kurkdjian, but I keep returning to it and it is one of the ones I use most.

Thanks to the coriander seeds it opens spicy and a little flowery. Vanilla gains strength and becomes the main note in the Dry Down, accompanied by amber and musk. It remains sweet and gourmand, but light enough for everyday use.

Sillage is moderate, the scent envelops you like a cloud. It can be worn all year round, so it is also very well suited as a signature fragrance. A must try for the vanilla lovers!

tender nasal touches

How excited I was about this fragrance and also about the Maison Francis Kurkdjian brand in general, which I had heard so much about but had never smelled a fragrance before. I got a sample of 'Baccarat Rouge' from a lovely perfuma, but hadn't tried it yet.
"Gentle Fluidity Gold" comes in a square, rather solid glass flacon with a gold cap. High quality and noble, but also unspectacular.

"Gentle Fluidity Gold" is a contradictory scent. On the one hand bright and radiant, on the other a gourmand, sweet vanilla, soft musk. In between, spicy, woody fragments flash up from time to time. Very delicate, very light, a little powdery. I am not sure whether I should describe it sweet-spicy or rather creamy-woody. It is both somehow...and for my nose it is rather feminine
I had heard and read a lot about this scent, which sounds like disappointment. The fact that it is not really tangible may be one reason why it is described as boring. There is no such thing as a great scent. Have you smelled it that often? Yes, maybe, but this fragrance smells very noble and of high quality.

For me, "Gentle Fluidity Gold" is a pleasing, tender nose-flattering. It doesn't take you on an exciting fragrance journey - it's more a fragrance for situations when everything is silly and you need something caressing and comforting. But in this case sweetness means a light, transparent sweetness
"Gentle Fluidity Gold" does not have great expansion ambitions, but this may be due to my careful dosage. The fragrance doesn't bother anyone, you have to get closer to me to smell the delicate vapours - otherwise it remains more of a hunch.
The durability is top and was well noticeable for over 10 hours.

I find it great and the more often I use it, the more it conquers my heart. I am curious how it will develop in warmer weather, because I can imagine it not only in autumn/winter.

A fragrance that is addictive

I have already written something about the Silver Fluidity. The gold, of course, must not be missing. Must be, since in my opinion it is the better one. Even if the reviews are harder than for the Silver, it's a matter of taste. In my opinion, the Silver is doing pretty well here, which is why both are on my wish list for the time being. Both can be tested or bought without any problems, because they complement each other very well at the event if you like sweet scents.
In short to the Silver: It is the fresh variant of this DNA. The pyramids are the same, only in the concentration of the individual notes they should vary. It's amazing. Slight similarities are noticeable, but they smell so different. The Silver is clearly uniquer with its unique freshness. It is more angular and I find it more striking and masculine. If you want to test something really new, you should definitely test this one
Now for the gold: In my opinion it is really good. During my test I can't stop smelling the sprayed-on area. It is addictive and really attractive. It starts with vanilla, nutmeg and fruity notes. Reminds me of a chewy candy, which is not meant negatively. Also the spicy nutmeg comes out well and is with the vanilla a dream. Also soft woods join in, especially in the drydown with lots of vanilla. Through and through a great composition of my opinion. The fluid DNA is recognizable, but on a heavenly sweet underground.
To respond to criticism that this was made in a designer style and is sold at niche prices: Surely, the offer of sweet-spicy gourmands is big, from 5 euros upwards, but this one stands out for me from many others. Also sweet niche fragrances of other brands. I find this design simply noble, attractive and without any disturbing factor. Who does not like very sweet fragrances, will rather not like this one. But I am sure that this one can seduce many people. This fragrance will never be too heavy For me this scent is conditionally unisex. Some people here find it too feminine. True, it drifts slightly more into the feminine, but I still find unisex appropriate. For ladies it is always wearable, especially in mild temperatures and especially in the evening. For classic men with experience of life, I don't think so. For the younger modern man, however, it is wearable, especially for two hours or nestled on the couch. I am not so squeamish about sweet scents. Especially when you look at the bestselling men's fragrances you can see that these extremely sweet scents sell well.
The performance is good. Especially the durability with far into the double digits. The sillage is pleasant without really killing anyone. Optimal for this type of scent.

This fragrance will be in my collection. But if it doesn't fit, you can still make a woman happy with it. 180 Euro for 70ml are too much for me. But in many shops you can get it for 130 to 150 Euro. Well invested money

Nice musky vanilla

This perfume remember me to some perfumes by montale and Mancera like intense café and roses vanilla. It is musky and sweet, like a musky vanilla with some spices. I like It but is too similar to other perfumes that already have. The performance is good and also the quality ofnthe ingredients. I find It unisex and very versatile, weareable mire or less un every circunsrance or season.

Musky, cosy & cuddly vanilla

It's not an intellectual creation...
It can be enjoyed and experienced on a purely emotional, hedonistic level...
It goes directly to the pleasure center in your brain...

Delicious juniper berry

From the very beginning I was fascinated by this scent. Beeriger-Moschus seducer, who also stands for a man. 10 full points are awarded for sillage and projection.
The nuances are very well perceptible and really last forever.
Also for men a very tasty scent, which really goes through as unisex and definitely makes LUST on more ;-)
