Sex, Marzipan & what?
I do not like fruity fresh scents, I do not like sweet gourmands and I do not like long hipster names. Nevertheless, I am a little addicted to WWDIPIS from ALOF. Yeah, sometimes it's not logical
The prelude: Fullness, richness, vitality. Sensual, lactic. Adult sex, not teenage make-out. Conventionally, I'd say "fruity and fresh," but that doesn't really hit the spot. I don't perceive honey here
After about ten minutes there is a hint of almond sweetness, which after twenty minutes is fully blooming and lasts for a provocative long time. Even this is excessively erotic: sticky-sweet doesn't come up, it would only destroy the magic. The seduction and the building up of tension comes here after the thundershower. Why not, dreams and perfumes do not have to stick to the time grid.
First more serious, woody, even remote earthy tones after about three hours. A very nice mixture also this, but I am confused. Country house with old wood and brick? Spice cake? Smells wonderful, but how does it fit into the story? Stay back overtaxed and think that the fragrance could be missing the middle and the red thread
If someone offers me a conclusive story on this course of events, I'll raise to nine.
Dominique Ropion, the name hadn't told me anything (shame on my head) until now, is a perfumer with a remarkable lifetime achievement. I almost want to say "performance". For him, countless fragrances of equally countless brands are listed here, created by him from 1982 to 2020, partly as a solo perfumer, partly as a team. I would just like to mention the following wild mixture: Invictus, Krazy Krizia, Acqua di Gioia (rated underground, but I like it very much), La vie est belle, Lady Million, Oud Malaki (I like it very much), Vetiver Extraordinaire (rated very well, but I can't do anything with it).
Funny thing is that he also created the fragrance "Messy Sexy Rolled Just out of Bed" for the same company, which I don't know. Out of curiosity I read a few reviews about it here, and when I read the one about Parfumlein I thought: Oops, that's almost the same thing I have to say about WWDIPIS, both in terms of impressions and pictures and the dry description. But it's not sooo surprising if you look at the two scent pyramids, because they are a team like Cheops and Chephren.

I don't know what they do in Paris either. But does anyone else know "Mission à Paris" by Gruppo Sportivo?

Regarding the fragrance house "A Lab on Fire" I wrote something in my comment on "California Snow"; I don't want to repeat myself. New (for me): The name can be "Lab on Fire" as well as "Lab burning with enthusiasm". Another perfume company has pointed it out.
The fragrances of this shed are not formally declared as women's fragrances, but are nevertheless conceived as such. You can see this from the company's website, the boxes and the flacons. The place is teeming with unrestrained, softly drawn black-and-white pictures of dreamily gazing female beauties. If someone should now say: "I'm sure men like to see that too", then I'll play the trump card. At ALOF online you can buy matching handbags for individual fragrances in the car-merchandise section of the website. For up to four-digit dollar amounts. Any more questions?
Despite the company's somewhat nosy, pompous thing, which sometimes makes you think that it puts ten times as much emphasis on selling a lifestyle as it does on solid work on the fragrance, you have to admit that the pricing (for the fragrances, not the handbags) is still fair (60 ml: 125 USD) and the waters (it seems) are simply good craftsmanship.
But I only know the two products of this brand: the snow and this one. They are extremely different. California Snow is synthetic and linear; this one looks natural and has a strong flow. But both are fascinating, highly original and (especially the snow) unmistakable. Almost I would like to say "unique".
