Some time ago I felt the urge to dive into the wonderful world of books again and visited a small dusty esoteric bookstore in my city. I was welcomed directly by clouds of incense, meditation music and dream catchers on the ceiling.
I opted for the magic corner this time and immersed myself in the world of witches and wizards. It felt like a little self-meditation as I forgot about the here and now for a short while.
Suddenly, I detected a sweet note in the air dominated by incense. This mixture smelled interesting and somehow appealing. Completely book-drunk and befuddled by the impressions of this bookstore, I turned to the side and saw a man standing right next to me who, just like me, was almost soaking up the books on magic and card reading. On the side, he kept sipping his can of Redbull, which he unabashedly pulled out of his jacket pocket. I've never been a fan of energy drinks and rather loathe those concoctions. But at that moment, the picture was different. Carefully and unobtrusively, I scanned this mysterious reader beside me. He looked rakish, but well-groomed. His nose was deep in the books. At some point he noticed my interested glances and smiled at me, saying," Oh, it looks like we have the same tastes. These books are dangerous. Once you have decided to read them, you can't stop reading them they are so exciting. Books send me into a frenzy at night. Hence the Redbull..." We talked for a while longer. This communication among like-minded people was to remain in my memory for a long time.
"Mukhallat" by Montale revives the encounter with the mysterious stranger. To me, Montale's blend smells neither like plastic Barbie, nor nail polish remover. Rather, it smells like those American Valentine heart candies, sherbet, incense, shisha, and Redbull, but in an interesting way. Luckily, tastes differ and you shouldn't be too put off by reviews from others, but always make up your own mind.
The opening is quite extreme and synthetic, but by no means off-putting or toxic. The wild strawberry is quite present and reminiscent of candyshops. However, the Peru balsam takes away the cheesy-sugariness and gives the scent a special depth and slight balsamic resinousness. After a few hours, the scent becomes softer, quieter and the vanilla comes out.
Overall very fancy and special for special occasions or rebellious days ,to get other thoughts. Either love or hate. There is no in between:D

Feel whole worlds open up after the first sprayer. The wearer of this fragrance feels deep within himself the sting of curiosity about the unknown, the desire to cross the narrow line that separates our concrete thoughts from the darkly coloured, mystical fantasies of the unconscious, as well as the will not to tie up his own mind with the chains of the visible and generally known. The fragrance tempts one to hover in the twilight between reality and its flip side. One goes into the shadow of oneself, where we are accommodating all our colours of being.
The French have created something quite extraordinary here.
The fragrance is incredibly dark and mysterious with its smoky aura. But still silky soft and not too aggressive. It starts off with an oriental wickedness and a mischievous sweet and sourness that has the desire to fascinate everyone. This is accompanied by smoke chords reminiscent of firewood and descending further and further into the depths of the infamous. The plum and vanilla form a symbiotic relationship, and this love affair gives the fragrance an incredibly erotic arrogance. One could assume that you're dealing with an incredibly expensive perfume. Definitely unisex, but without losing its magic, as the fragrance perfectly sympathizes with the aura of its wearer and is as multi-faceted as a camaeleon, creeping along and promising a very big entrance.

When the sun sinks to the horizon, the day ends and the night begins.... There is hardly a more romantic picture than a sunset.
This noble perfume treasure reminds me very intensely of my holidays in the city of Angels-Los Angeles and brings the sunset romance to life again and again. No other city is as multifaceted and has such impressive energies as LA.
For me, the fragrance symbolises the colourful light spectacle. A rich sunset so perfectly captured. "Sunset Romance" starts fruity sweet at first. Here you immediately sniff the sweet and sour pear, which is perhaps heated on a stick over a campfire. It gets warm and cozy, as dark wood notes quickly join in, giving the initial sweetness a wicked touch. The innocent lily of the valley, which smells sweet and was a symbol of spring and the hope for love and happiness, mixes in and gives the whole scenario a lighthearted and playful touch. The gentle salty sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean is in the air and musk and amber chords create a romantic and intimate atmosphere. The warmth of the evening sun and the campfire can still be clearly felt. Once the fragrance has settled, it becomes softer and closer to the skin, yet I still find it a sensual and animalistic lure due to the dark smoky patchouli note. Exceptionally well done!

White as snow, as red as blood and as black-haired as ebony...
A vampire's sucking off girls by the dozen. But his love belongs to only one: the black orchid, which is said to have youth and vitality. Soaked in noble patchouli, this fragrance is as mysterious, wicked, dark, full-bodied and intense as the atmosphere of the bedroom and the wine cellar of Count Dracula
The wearer of this fragrance is seduced will-lessly into the dark world, where magic triumphs and everything is possible.
An opulent fruity orchid, tenderly coated in sweet vanilla and teasingly kissed by incense. Tender notes of ripe dark grapes, fine truffle and chocolate are in the air and take away the orchid's floral opulence. Very erotic, and noble for the big entrance or the big seduction. Not quietly, but loudly.

By chance I came across this cheap perfume from Zara.... ...and it was a direct hit. A perfume with this name MUST be good.
Sprayed on, I was totally out of my mind. How can a Cheapy not be mainstream, but exceptionally attractive, sexy, feminine and neat?
The fragrance is very close, reminiscent of Joop's Sun, only much softer, more sensual and beguiling. It is finely sweet, slightly powdery vanilla warm, but still with a fresh note. It is the perfect companion for everyday life without nervous potential, as well as for the night. Could not save me from compliments. And also the men are totally into it..
