Annarosa

Dzhongkha is a fascinating scent. In 2016 I had gotten hold of an old pretty bottle with the golden tree at TKMaxx and for a while I wore it very often in the autumn-winter spring months until I gave it away, which I still feel sorry for, although I know that this is not my scent.
From the bottle, the fragrance smells wonderfully powerful and sparkling, herbaceous, incense, different and totally fascinating. But as soon as it has been applied to my skin and sprayed on my hair, the fragrance loses all its powerful tangyness and turns into the smell of a strong beef broth with soup vegetables inside. The image I have in mind is: an evening autumn forest, the campfire, on which a pot of beef broth is simmering. The idea itself is not unromantic, but hardly any of my fellow men see this forest. All she smells, and ultimately I smell too, is a banal kitchen smell. A smell I get for free when I cook soup in my clothes and hair. A very sober conclusion and very very very sad.

L'Entier is a fragrance that, for my taste, combines two things that don't belong together: wild, strong maritine, aquatic notes (seaweed, salt, driftwood, fish and all that goes with it) and very strong powder puff notes (with an old, cheap powder). First I smell the aquatics and then powder comes into play. These two fight together the whole course. The fragrance is therefore rather restless and disharmonic.
I have a sample of it and once I applied this fragrance to my skin, my only wish was to wash this wild mixture off my skin immediately. I remained hard, but not longer than an hour. This strong scent is hard to get rid of. It holds bomb-proof also after longer washing up and remains then only unpleasant old powder.

There was no friendship between me and Tel Aviv. I once had a sample of it, which I test first in spring and then again in summer. The scent comes across quite synthetic and unnatural on my Haul. In the beginning there is this strange tropical fruitiness à la Haribo. No flowers are perceptible to me. After a certain time, this fruitiness is then absorbed into the unpleasant scent of the unfresh scalp or the unfishy hair. This base note is very disturbing and was present every time at the end. As far as sillage and durability are concerned, I can only say that they are, in my opinion, very short for this proud price, for all the fragrances of this brand that I have tested.
