What a billowing veil of fragrance - I had already bought Sintra last fall and then shortly after put it in the souk, because I did not like something.
Yesterday, after several days and extensive testing Sintra has caused an initial ignition with me.
Already the first spray is different than I know it from many fragrances.
Here are no gentle flowers or herbs involved, no, here it pops right away properly!
All the ingredients mentioned shine and billow around me - I can not explicitly recognize each fragrance note, but it is the totality, the shimmering and shining billow, which has enchanted me and cast a spell.
For me personally, Sintra is pure joie de vivre - bright colours, sunny glass over an enchanted park, flowers, warmth and fruit in abundance.
After many hours - durability and sillage are enormous on my skin - the cheerful and colorful veil of fragrance slowly slides into a milky, familiar, warming and gentle pensiveness, which is only occasionally brightened by cheerful dabs.
The magic of my own imagination and fantasy makes it possible for me to go, enveloped by Sintra, to places that I cannot and will not discover to reality. Maybe I will see Sintra one day - maybe not.
It is beautiful to begin the journey of the senses - surrounded by this wonderful veil of fragrance - at any time.
If Sintra were a veil, I see it before me in all the colours of the rainbow, soft and cuddly, embroidered with iridescent flowers and sequins

Woody warmth, birds chirping, owls calling, squirrels cheekily jumping around - the air is still warm and the soft and sweet scent of wild strawberries sparkles out between all the green and earthy.
I am in the forest of the hermitage "Frauenbründl" which is also listed in the list of magical places in Germany and I am happy that I only have to drive a few kilometers to dive into this beautiful other world.
The tall old trees murmur softly in the light evening breeze. The warm fullness of the day fades, the green of the forest and the scent of the earth accompany the wild flowers and bushes, the elderberry bushes and the tendrils of the berries gently into the evening magic of silence.
The branches and leaves rustle softly and sway in the wind, the yellow walls of the hermitage shine through the green and here you can feel life and also the transience.
My soul is light and free and the toils of the day and the sorrows of the past fade away in the soft green of dusk. Tender haze rises from the small meadows in the forest and I feel this very special atmosphere, this magic that is only here for me.
The smell of old wood, incense and candles comes from the mostly open door of the ancient chapel.
It is enchanting here in spring, summer and autumn - but even in winter the atmosphere and fragrances are incomparable. Many birds live here, you can see lizards and sometimes the hermit's old white cat.
I associate all this with the fragrance "Cape Heartache", where I knew after the first spray that I could now have "my" magical forest in Frauenbründl with me anytime and anywhere...
This fragrance gives me warmth, peace and quiet in the times when I cannot be in this beautiful forest...
Of the few forest scents I know, only this one has touched my soul. The combination with the sweet wild strawberry as a shining spot in the woody green is simply wonderful and I can't smell anything chemical in it - for me this fragrance is pure nature...

since I like the combination of lavender and vanilla very much, I got myself a 10 ml bottle from Lavandes Trianon by a dear perfumista and was already thinking out of anticipation whether I should not order a bottle immediately - the scents and comments had delighted me so much.

Now I've been testing him for three days and I can say we're not becoming friends.
The lavender comes on my skin again and again very beautifully through and also the vanilla I like - but with the rest I can unfortunately not conform. After two to three hours my perception of the fragrance is only annoyingly sweet, sticky and far too much of everything except the lavender
I'm also missing some finesse - after three hours only vanilla and lavender waft and that's it. I prefer to get the eau de parfum "Lavande intensif" from Leblanc - 12 ml only cost 9,90 Euro - and for my nose these two smell quite similar. For the time when I feel like cuddling, the rich one must *g
