Annabraucht

Oh, a fragrance without any back and forth, without any frills. A clear line; a common thread? Absolutely. However, the clear line is rather matt and the red thread consists more of brown tones. Light brown, dark brown, shiny streaks. That's a rough first impression.

The start catapults me into work. Work? Yes, actually, and it's not bad at all. More precisely, it catapults me into the "dust room". The tea room. I work passionately in a pharmacy. I often make Swedish herbs there. I weigh out 0.2g of saffron - the star of the recipe. Not just because of the price. Bright orange and dark red threads in the small, white tin. Once opened, this super characteristic fragrance unfolds. Everyone knows it. This is exactly how Cappadocia smells for about 2 minutes. Authentic, dry, cool saffron. Breathe, close your eyes. Collect impressions.
You can switch off briefly when making tea. Thanks to the different smells, it's a mini vacation for the mind. A short trip to Cappadocia? With pleasure. But then it's better to drink tea there instead of making it.
After this short saffron trip to the pharmacy, it's time for a vacation for the head, for the senses. What follows is a smooth symphony of soft, fluffy and buttery notes. I'm really addicted to this fantastic base. Vanilla and incense set the tone in my eyes. The two harmonize in perfect symbiosis. Accompanied by the most beautiful, creamy sandalwood. Cozy and sexy at the same time. A tribute to tranquillity, to enjoyment, to perception. To pause for a moment. I have rarely had such a calm and balanced fragrance under my nose. Everything is just right here. Nothing is too much and nothing is too little. I love it. It makes me relax and dream. I would like to visit this place, which was unknown to me until now. It feels a bit like I was there for a short time! I wish I had.

A small sentence about the longevity and sillage: this treasure easily lasts 8 or 9 hours on me and radiates a present but delicate fragrance. This is also just right for me.

A little anecdote at the end: I asked my husband "what do you think of when you hear Cappadocia?" He didn't even look at me and said "Cappuccino!"..... Well, we've sorted that out too!

Cappadocia, here I come!

... Yes, everyone has to decide that for themselves. The beginning doesn't make it easy!
The fragrance starts very promisingly. This green acidity from the tomato leaf is really brilliant here and I like it much better than in "Signature / Aedes de Venustas | Aedes de Venustas". Perhaps also because the raspberry doesn't make it too blatantly authentic. It cushions it somewhat.
After about 15 minutes, however, the raspberry takes over the entire fragrance. The fruit has the effect of a raspberry sherbet. Perhaps comparable to "Pink Molécule 090-09 | Zarkoperfume". Very cheerful, light, youthful and sparkling. Until then, I also like the fragrance very much - even if (attention!): the whole thing seems very feminine. So up to that point, I would have gone for it. Unfortunately, the effervescence and garden theater ends in a very childish sweetness. It reminds me a bit of "Mallow | Sora Dora". And that's a real shame. I would have liked more plant power à la freshly cut tomato stalks!
Well, if you're brave for a short time and then prefer the safe marshmallow board, this is the right place for you.
Have fun testing.

A Malle always manages with me to bring out the natural fragrance notes so that I mean, each individual chord is in front of me. Again, there was an explosion of flowers, plants, colors and seasons!

The coconut breaks open and a spring-fresh wind blows towards me. Like thousands, fresh green leaves and buds on trees and shrubs. The orange-pink sunrise in the morning makes you forget that your own breath underlines the chilling morning cold.
Coconut buzzes around me and almost seems a bit awkward and clumsy in this scenario.
Slowly, jasmine and ylang ylang begin to bloom and it gets warmer. The winds more bulging and my mind calmer. The warmth is good; but the eucalyptus brings the refreshment it needs. I haven't gotten used to the warmth yet.
Tuberose comes into play and makes last green notes and buds disappear. The summer is here. Finally.
Coconut is still present. It was quietly in the background, but now I find it very pleasant and fitting. I allow it to dance the summer with the tuberose and orange blossom. Wonderful. Hand in hand.
Joy, warmth, well-being.

What a changeable floral fragrance! Insanely finely woven! Thank you for such a play of feelings and head cinema.
It was and is my pleasure.

Hmmmm. This fragrance makes me doubt my "sniffing skills".
Pink pepper in the opening - Yes. 100%. Byredo typical just.
But I smell little violets?! And I love violets! All I smell after about 30 minutes is a beautiful, grown-up sweetness with pepper. It smells like fruit tea to me. Berry fruit tea with violets.
Where does this sweetness come from!
Very nice (!) but not unique or striking.
Moss and fir balsam I miss!
H & S unfortunately rather weak.

For males and females equally suitable.
I see him in the spring and summer.

I wrote a bitterly nasty statement about the scent yesterday. Toilet cleaner, highway toilet, etc.. I'm sticking with that too: first impressions are really not pretty. At least for me. Rather even disgusting.
Now I have in the late night (so after a few hours) still noticed that the fragrance is fortunately much creamier and rounder. The pieksig-stechende is finally gone.
In the morning, right after getting up I have now put on the cardigan, which still has the fragrance on the sleeve. The complete right arm!

And immediately when I put it on, I noticed this beautiful, light-creamy scent. Angelically beautiful, innocent. Like an angel bathing in coconut water and milk!

And now we all come back downstairs: in the background someone is hanging up freshly washed clothes.... it's the bathing angel's grandma! ;) Yeah, that's what it smells like to me.

It's so nice on clothes now that I'm actually thinking about buying a bottle! ... But do you do that just because he is so wonderful after a few hours on textile?

Anyway. First he has to give me a second chance!
Very fine ♡
