Hello, Chanel, you lover. I remember a time when you and I were a couple. You used to walk me through the day. You were always with me, and you'd cuddle me up every chance you got. You and I were one. I enjoyed your unobtrusive freshness, your slightly aquatic charm and your gentle depth. With you, I could be seen and smelled everywhere. And then what? You became a habit, the things I liked about you got lost in the randomness of everyday life. One day I left you for another. Cartier Declaration was her name. As in every beginning, there was a spell at the beginning, but this too faded and the passion died out. Yes, what came next? I do not remember, but I remember the moment that introduced me to a new world, the moment that changed everything. It was my first encounter with Oud Wood. From that moment on, nothing was the same. My curiosity grew to infinity and I became part of a game. I could no longer be faithful. I became a hunter. Many I enjoyed since then. Many only for a few hours just to test them and some were allowed to stay. I had so many: exotic, sporty, elegant, ordinary, popular, classic and your sisters. Yes, at this point I have to admit that they are also beautiful, but neither of them has the refreshing lightness of you. Then a few days ago, when I was once again looking for a little pleasure, I found a little of you, loveless among others, a few drops, a tester, just enough to feel and smell you again.
I suppose you're wondering why I'm writing you all this? The answer is simple: I want you back! Not forever and not like before. I want you for a few hours, for a good opportunity, not for every day, no routine, just when we feel like it, then I want to know you are there and who knows, maybe it will be more..

Acqua di Gio Profumo a so-called no-brainer. A fragrance where you don't have to worry about whether it fits, whether you like it. It actually always fits and actually pleases everyone. Maybe that is exactly his problem. It's like a pop song, catchy and pleasing. While some of the current pop song scents will one day be a pure testimony of their time, Acqua di gio Profumo, in my opinion, has a chance to survive and that's because of its depth, because of the incense. A pop song with soul. It starts unspectacularly, neither extremely fresh nor mysterious. In the beginning an aquat, which smells gently coordinated and balanced. But unspectacular and this remains so at first until the base notes slowly reveal themselves. From now on, this mysterious mixture between sea and depth is, so to speak, the deep sea and it is exactly this depth that makes it special. Soft, round, deep. Always fits because of its softness, just a pop song. But: with depth. Do I like it? Of course, everyone likes it. Do they?! ?
The flacon fits and rounds off the total package. Noble and the sprayer is great

- was my first thought, because according to my nose, a certain parallel to Le Male is definitely existing. My second thought was that if the cut fits to the figure, an off-the-peg suit might be enough. At this point I have to admit that although I appreciate Le Male very much, I only have the original in my collection as a tester and it is not necessarily on my wish list. But now it's a thing with tailor-made suits. Once you have had the pleasure of wearing it, you will notice the subtle difference after a while. It fits perfectly, is perfectly tuned, elegant and stands out clearly when worn and in the details. It gives you the feeling that everything is in tune and the advantages of your own appearance are emphasized. And so it happens quickly that all rationality loses the battle and one has to admit: Not all suits are alike. Clothes make the man, and Amouage has created a high-quality, harmonious, elegant and soft (oh, the sandalwood) scent with Reflection Man, similar to a tailor-made suit and it has the potential to become a wish list :)

"Summer, palm trees, sunshine
what can be more beautiful?
With you alone it can
..."
the doctors were already singing. And what could be more beautiful? Alone with you in the summer with palm trees and sunshine. That's the memory that's preserved in this fragrance. The two of us on the beach in Italy. Il dolce far niente, in a deck chair by the sea. This scent is vacation and it found its way to me at the right time. Andrà tutto bene - All is well! Just like back then: carefree, cheerful in beautiful Italy on the beach. My nose is currently glued to my wrist and my thoughts in my memory. The fragrance starts, as expected, fresh and citric and then drifts into the fresh aquatic - the sea is, in my opinion, clearly and constantly present. There are no surprises, no spectacle, and the fragrance is neither male nor female. And I don't know if you can share my enthusiasm if you've never been to the sea in Italy. Because simply put, Mandarine di Amalfi Acqua is simply a mixture of Italian sea air, sun cream, heat, joie de vivre and the certainty that everything will be fine!

"It's summer and it's hot, so I'm eating a lemon ice cream," the doctors were already singing.
A summer day, sea or swimming pool and the walk to the kiosk.
Capri or split? Capri, the thoroughly refreshing water ice or split refreshing mix with milk ice.
(I know that neither of these is lemon ice cream and it is not so much a question of taste as the memory and feeling associated with it)
Acqua die Parma Colonia Intensa is a split for me. The fragrance is refreshing, but not like a water ice, not a purely refreshing Eau de Cologne, cool refreshment through and through. Rather refreshing and creamy at the same time. A tasteful creaminess is present from the beginning. This creaminess is complemented by the delicate aroma of woody notes, after all, an ice cream with Sti(e)l. All in all, an absolutely classic and refreshing fragrance for warm and lukewarm days and evenings - not for the swimming pool, rather for strolling along the beach promenade or through the city. Not colourful, no twister, no effervescent effect, no gimmicks - simply creamy - classic, stylish! The performance is good, not too loud but not too quiet either and easily manages several hours...
