I buy fragrances by nose, not by price. My uncle Karl had already beaten into me about 50 years ago, half an eternity ago. He was a wholesaler for cosmetics and hairdressing supplies and his warehouse in the 70s was paradise for me. To his greatest regret, his only child was a son and so he took great pleasure in introducing me to the finer points of cosmetics. So in my cupboard you can find the fragrances of Dior next to so-called "Bückware" from the drugstore.
I always like to test the Spirit fragrances. Unfortunately, I haven't found the ultimate great scent yet. For me the scents of the company somehow smell the same, no matter what they are called or what color they have. Yesterday a test of the new fragrance Spirit of Blooming Delight. Not a bad start. Fresh fruity and citric with a hint of astringency through the black currant. I could have liked that one. Unfortunately a pungent undertone mixed in. It did not thin out so quickly at La Rive fragrances. A bouquet of flowers where you couldn't smell a single scent, flattened the freshness. Then there were the warmer tones like musk, patchouli and cedar wood. Had it not been for the austere cashmere wood, I could have made friends with the scent. But then it was neither fish nor meat, just a disharmonious cloud of scent. Durability with 4 hours quite long. Could have been even longer, but I scrubbed the scent off after a while. It was just a sentence with X
