The Forgotten Compliments Catcher
It must have been around 2004 when I consciously came into contact with this fragrance for the first time. A colleague at the time recommended it to me and as I like aquatic fragrances, among other things, I bought my first "expensive" fragrance. That's when I discovered my love for Chanel. As I didn't know exactly what I wanted from life in my 20s, I didn't just focus on this fragrance and tested various other fragrances, although CPE was somewhat forgotten.
At the end of last year, I ventured back into the world of fragrances and smelled CPE in passing. I was immediately catapulted back to the time when I got to know and love this unmistakable fragrance. And the first question I asked myself was, how on earth could I have forgotten this wonderful fragrance? I still don't have an answer to that question, but what I do have is a bottle of this fragrance.
For me, it always feels like I've just stepped out of the shower and that feeling lasts all day. And it smells anything but cheap. It's a spicy, cool freshness that suits both summer and winter. And although it is "only" an Ed, it smells as intense as an EdP. I receive compliments from both Mars and Venus, which confirms to me that I have done everything right with this fragrance. From now on, CPE has a permanent place in my bathroom cabinet and won't be moving out any time soon.

Love on the 3 sniffers
That my beloved YSL Opium is slowly running out, was today again time to replace this. However, it should be another fragrance, because I like to take a break each, so that my nose can wean and I smell him later again more intense.
The first time I became aware of SWI, I am about two years ago with a work colleague. This sweetish fragrance has appealed to me immediately and I have not forgotten him to this day. Since I smelled the SWI Freeze a few weeks ago for the first time and was immediately very taken, I actually wanted to buy this fragrance, although he comes here in the forum not so dermassen good away. It reminds me a lot of Malabar bubble gum, which I liked best as a kid. And since the perfumery with the French name is offering the fragrance at a 25% discount, it was pretty much a done deal for me. However, the positive reviews for SWI Absolutely have not escaped me and therefore still wanted to smell this one, before I finally decide.
So I went this afternoon full of anticipation in the perfumery and let me show me the two fragrances again. Since I had stupidly just disinfected my hands, both fragrances (Freeze and Absolutely) were sprayed on a paper strip. First the Freeze and yes, I still liked it as much as the first time. Now the Absolutely and my reaction so .... uh nope, it doesn't smell nearly as good as the Freeze. The saleswoman told me to give it some time. So here we go again and the reaction was just like the first. Firmly convinced it was going to be the Freeze, I gave it one last chance and then boom! That's it!
This warm, sweet-spicy-floral scent captivated me and wouldn't let me go. Caramel-vanilla-pepper-brown rum and again this bubblegum scent, which I like so much. Stop less fresh than the Freeze but more intense and even a notch better. I take the, quite to the astonishment of the saleswoman, which has thought because of my reaction after the first two times to smell that I would choose the Freeze.
Arrived home, I had to spray him of course immediately and there it just fit well that I had to buy my dad something. His neighbor has in the hallway a basket with chocolate Easter eggs and other sweets and there my dad asks me, as we waited for the elevator, if I had taken something from the basket again. I couldn't help but smirk and then enlightened him. His reaction was definitely positive.
Yes, the scent is sweet - you have to like that but still I don't find it too overbearing. Through its spicy-floral-peppery note, it gives me a feeling of wohliger, which accompanies one through the cooler days. I've only ever had the same feeling with YSL Opium and now here comes this new one to challenge my favourite. Let's see if it will stand the test of time. So far I do not regret the purchase at all and am already thinking about whether I should not get his lighter brother for the warmer time.
Conclusion, I am in love
