Aaarrrrrr, tie me to the mast!
Ah, the sea. Endless widths full of water quantities. An air mixed with salty notes. A sea of delicious seafood. But also a sea full of dangers. Some people in the country dream of the sea, to go on endlessly, to the horizon, where the sun goes down shining red. Laymen who have romantic ideas about the sea, as many a sailor would say about such landlubbers, who himself spent weeks whaling in the Arctic cold and wondered whether he could ever see even the smallest land mass on the horizon again.
And if the loneliness at sea hasn't driven you mad, then there are more dangers to survive. White sharks that can supposedly perceive your blood from twenty kilometers away. Kraken bigger than ships. The abyss at the end of the world. And then, of course, the sirens, the desperate men who, after months or even years of working at sea, have not seen a female being for a long time and are now attracted by the beautiful voices of the sirens. Knowing that this could only be a trap, these men cannot resist the singing and begin to think with other parts of the body than their brains, especially when the blood from the spongy mass of the head flows into... well, other regions of the body... until they automatically go to the sirens and seal their tragic fate!
So... I ask everyone to tie me to the mast. A single guy like me could be attracted too quickly. I want a woman to nibble on me, but not to eat me up while I'm at it!!! :DD
But, I realize it's only in the beginning. Of course the fragrance is still synthetic later, but somehow it is less disturbing later, so that I find the fragrance a little better. Later, the fragrance generally smells aquatic-flowery. Earlier, for example, the flowery notes were about to become stuffy, but then the leaf turned and the flowery notes began to smell more watery, like this flower water, which I always mention here from time to time, by which I mean the wet-flowery scent that you smell when you enter a flower shop. Among them, the rose is still the most pronounced, so I can smell these flowers the easiest. At the same time, the maritime notes fade away a little, because the salty notes are now more present in the background, so I find the "clearer" water somewhat stronger now. I also smell a very slight sweetness, but this is also almost like the salty notes rather weak.
In the base, the fragrance is floral with synthetic notes. And of course you still smell aquatic. The sweet and salty notes become even weaker, otherwise there are rather few differences to the heart note. And so the scent remains, which is actually okay, but unfortunately also a little boring like any scent, but at least not a completely catastrophic flower scent.
The shelf life was quite good, by that I mean that you could smell it for eight to ten hours.
Okay, hold on!
You don't have to tie me to the mast. Even if the sirens have a very beautiful and tempting voice, they can't attract me if they smell like this scent. I don't mean to say that the fragrance would smell bad (i.e. bad in the sense of abnormal, where you want to run away, like you do with intensive coriander fragrances and so on :D), but it's just a trivial 0815 fragrance, which you could have a look at out of curiosity because of the interesting and beautiful flacon, but forget it after spraying on, because it smells exactly like every second or third flower fragrance. It has no special strengths, except maybe that the charisma is quite okay, but otherwise you can hardly distinguish it from other such scents. By the way, at 50 mL it costs about 45-55 Euro.
It is best used on warmer days, as it looks quite fresh in addition to the floral-aquatic notes and therefore fits well into spring and summer. An all-rounder that could be sprayed on practically any occasion, especially in situations that are not special occasions, i.e. usable quite normally in the job, study, leisure time, simply during the day and so on.
As I said, you don't really have to test it here, because I bet you've already smelled such a fragrance several times. So, that's it again from me, and as always I wish you all a nice evening :)

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins very aquatic, rather floral (mainly roses), with citric and slightly salty notes. Normally it would have had a nice scent, if there hadn't been a strong synthetic note from the beginning, which gives the impression of a cheaper scent. And I don't mean cheap here in terms of price, but in terms of quality. This first draws the scent down. But, I realize it's only in the beginning. Of course the fragrance is still synthetic later, but somehow it is less disturbing later, so that I find the fragrance a little better. Later, the fragrance generally smells aquatic-flowery.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The charisma is okay, at the beginning still quite strong, later still above average, so that he can be smelled well for a while without having to get too close to the fragrance bearer. The shelf life was quite good, by that I mean that you could smell it for eight to ten hours.
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has a cylindrical, chrome-plated lid. The label on the front is black and simple. The back of the label is printed with an image of a siren surrounded by roses. This picture can be seen through the bottle wall on the other side, because this wall is clear. This looks nice, even if the motif itself looks quite kitschy and brightly coloured, but at least the bottle doesn't look like a puristic niche bottle. So I think it's pretty good. Okay, hold on!
