Tadpoles Blues
There used to be a small pond (it's probably still there, but I haven't been there for a long time) full of tadpoles and frogs that we used to go to as children and constantly reach into the water, catch frogs, build them a den, fish for alibis and so on. Just what kids did back then, without all the smartphone g*cksi. We were kids in the 90s and I always think back to those carefree times when our parents weren't always at our throats and we were outside from morning to night at the weekend. I especially remember this pond, which was in the middle of a small park next to our village playground.

I can still feel the gooey sensation of reaching for the tadpoles on my skin, the smell of the pond and the lukewarm, damp body of the frog. And I once had a frog that I called Bobo, which was my first fictitious pet at the time, as my mother didn't dote on pets and certainly not in an apartment.

27 Limanakia smells just like this little pond, full of tadpoles and frogs. Slippery green, strongly reminiscent of algae and damp, warm earth. A very strong note of an indefinable flower hangs in the air. The tadpoles whistle the blues and it bubbles from the depths of the small pond, as if a small, green monster were rising up. Sorry, but this is a scent that you wouldn't even want to put on your worst enemy, unless you wanted to squeeze his throat, in which case this green slime would certainly be good for that. The fragrance has no development, green and slimy. Here and there, earthy, warm, wet facets and this strange flower. That's pretty much it. The good thing here is that the fragrance doesn't last long on me and that's a good thing, because even if it reminds me of childhood, this fragrance has nothing to do with well-being.

All that's missing is the animalistic baggage and then, together with Eau de Space, it could buzz around in space as a pig.

So be warned, hands off!

Flowery minerals that have been lying too long in a dusty cupboard
Hello you snoopers, here I am again and bring you a new comment. And I hope you read it so that all the effort to write just for you all here was not in vain! So... hopefully my little bleating served as motivation to continue reading here, he he :D

Today I come to Pierre Guillaume, whose fragrances were also known as Parfumerie Générale some time ago. I must say that I have never been such a big fan of PG, because most of the scents had quite special notes that I just didn't like or even got on my nerves in the long run.

So it's not much different with this scent here, but I didn't find it so bad now. Today it is about 27 Limanakia, which is supposed to give us the impression of standing on a mineral-stony beach on the shore of the Aegean Sea, which conjures up beautiful pictures in our minds and sounds like a holiday. Like for example dream beaches, shady palm trees, crystal clear sea, tight bikinis and so on, oh you know :D
(don't ask me what else comes into my head,... read the description of the fragrance here :D)

Anyway, a little later on, to these mineral-floral notes, we add another floral note, which is a little creamier and more balsamic.
Towards the end it remains flowery, mineral and in the base it remains a bit dry.

The silage and the durability:*
The Sillage is mediocre, but the scent flashes up stronger every now and then. So it will be noticed for a while, even if you shouldn't leave too big a fragrance cloud.
The shelf life of seven to eight hours is quite good.



Even if not everyone will like the fragrance, I would recommend the fragrance (or this brand in general) especially for all those who really want to have something completely different and novel under their nose. Apart from that, because of the slightly musty note, it reminds me somehow of past times from my childhood, which are not necessarily bad :) You feel like you've been taken back to carefree times when you could do almost anything without worries, like digging in your grandparents' cupboards and unknowingly reaching into something gooey and sticky... only to then jerkily pull your hand back, and sometimes a porcelain cup could break if it fell out of the cupboard. But at least there were little brothers who could be blamed in such a case, he he :DD

Well, this scent here is a bit special, as I said, but in my opinion not really bad. Interested people should sniff around. It is more usable in autumn, because it might be a bit too overwhelming in summer.

Well, that's it, then. Take care and have a nice evening :)
