Alilove

I'm sorry for this relentless headline, but I want to be honest and write down my first impression of this fragrance.
It was a warm late summer's day in Rome at the beginning of September and I was simply shocked and in love with this city. The Italians were so chic and confident and left a lasting impression on me. But when I was shown the allegedly most popular scent of the kind-hearted, family-like Italian woman, I was quite astonished. For me, the Italian woman is fiery, passionate, strong and feminine and not at all as innocent and one-sided as "Petits et Mamans" wanted to rub my nose in it. The scent came across very soft and powdery dry. The iris note was very clearly perceptible and was the main reason for the typical "clean scent", almost comparable to a cheap fabric softener from a discount store. Unfortunately the scent reminds very much of baby wipes and full diapers. Unfortunately, the vanilla doesn't leave a good impression here, but only swings very quietly in the background.

I love this fragrance because it reminds me of my childhood and my obsession with homemade banana milk from the blender. Before sniffing it, I could not believe that there was a fragrance authentic enough to bring back all my memories. We're dealing with a non-synthetic scent experience here. The bananas are not artificial at all, but very real, like a silk scarf weighed down with white rum. A light fruity acidity can be perceived at the beginning, but it quickly subsides and is replaced by super soft bourbon vanilla with cream and remains until the end. More deliciously one can hardly imagine a fragrance composition as a banana lover. The shelf life is super and completely on the side of the cuddly vanilla.

This Italian sweetheart is for me the epitome of pure happiness at the fair.
It smells so romantic of cotton candy, glazed apples, roasted almonds, raspberry lemonade, caramelized popcorn, waffles with icing sugar, Ed von Schleck ice cream and colorful bags. A fragrance that takes you to a fairytale land where there is nothing but idleness and good living.
An absolute sugar bomb that opens the door to the land of plenty. Makes all girls' hearts beat faster, but fortunately it has no synthetic, Barbie-like plastic smell.
With the softly swinging lily of the valley, this fragrance heralds spring for me every year.

The scent descriptions were promising and very tempting, especially for mango lovers in the hot summer. I was looking for an exotic scent experience; a sparkling, slightly sweet refreshment with a certain wicked depth. The candidates who are able to make my wish come true are all present (mango, orange, oud, vetiver, jasmine), but when I took the metal bottle (reminiscent of "bartender's utensils") and sprayed it on my skin, I was more disappointed than ever. I expected a fruity oriental start with seductive light wooden notes and juicy sun-ripened mango...but what I perceived there was already bordering on odour nuisance. The mango didn't smell fruity sun-ripened at all, but fermented as if it had been stored and forgotten in Omis 50s living room in newspaper. The mango and naroli blossom have a bad chemistry. The oud disappointed me immensely because it seems so dull, stale and old-fashioned. The oakmoss destroys almost everything here and makes me think of the smell of an odd company of old ladies.

This scent really surprised me. Actually, I tend rather to heavy opulent scents from the Far East, but sometimes even a perfume lover needs his rest:D
"Pour Femme" convinced me because it comes across so tender and noble without screaming out loud and craving for attention. The incredibly feminine notes of delicate freesia, slightly fruity innocent apple paired with hibiscus, cinnamon, and slightly spicy clove herald the start and don't see it saying goodbye to the skin. An absolute all-rounder, which you can wear well in the office, at sports, as well as on a date, without feeling boring. The skin chord has a magical effect on me and in my opinion it sniffs very seductively and mates incredibly well with your own skin smell
