tender nasal touches
How excited I was about this fragrance and also about the Maison Francis Kurkdjian brand in general, which I had heard so much about but had never smelled a fragrance before. I got a sample of 'Baccarat Rouge' from a lovely perfuma, but hadn't tried it yet.
"Gentle Fluidity Gold" comes in a square, rather solid glass flacon with a gold cap. High quality and noble, but also unspectacular.
"Gentle Fluidity Gold" is a contradictory scent. On the one hand bright and radiant, on the other a gourmand, sweet vanilla, soft musk. In between, spicy, woody fragments flash up from time to time. Very delicate, very light, a little powdery. I am not sure whether I should describe it sweet-spicy or rather creamy-woody. It is both somehow...and for my nose it is rather feminine
I had heard and read a lot about this scent, which sounds like disappointment. The fact that it is not really tangible may be one reason why it is described as boring. There is no such thing as a great scent. Have you smelled it that often? Yes, maybe, but this fragrance smells very noble and of high quality.
For me, "Gentle Fluidity Gold" is a pleasing, tender nose-flattering. It doesn't take you on an exciting fragrance journey - it's more a fragrance for situations when everything is silly and you need something caressing and comforting. But in this case sweetness means a light, transparent sweetness
"Gentle Fluidity Gold" does not have great expansion ambitions, but this may be due to my careful dosage. The fragrance doesn't bother anyone, you have to get closer to me to smell the delicate vapours - otherwise it remains more of a hunch.
The durability is top and was well noticeable for over 10 hours.
I find it great and the more often I use it, the more it conquers my heart. I am curious how it will develop in warmer weather, because I can imagine it not only in autumn/winter.

Sea of flowers at dusk
Lubin's "Nuit de Longchamp" is an extremely complex, elegant fragrance. Maybe a bit severe at the beginning, a bit spicy, almost astringent, but quite soon floral aspects are added.
I can't smell all the components mentioned in the fragrance pyramid, they are so interwoven that there is an elegant, harmonious overall concept.
I still smell orange blossom and jasmine the most, but never very prominent, rather subtle.
"Nuit de Longchamp" then becomes a bit soapier, sweeter, but not too sweet. I would describe the base as mossy-woody and very soft.
Like the other Lubin fragrances from the "Classique Collection", "Nuit de Longchamps" also comes in an elegant, amphora-like bottle with a heavy cap.
Glamorous, elegant and very feminine I would describe him. Altogether I see him as a noble, mild, rather light chypre scent. The durability is very good, lasted on my skin for several hours, but at the same time was never overflowing.
I think, discreetly dosed one is well scented with it on all occasions.

Coromandel EdP - one for the TopTen patchouli fragrances
A few years ago I wrote a commentary on the Coromandel Eau de Toilette and gave it a straight 10. My conclusion at that time: the best patchouli fragrance
In the meantime, I have gotten to know many patchouli fragrances, and have become more and more addicted to them. You can reduce this to a common denominator: as long as patchouli is in a fragrance, it can't go wrong for me.
Like all the bottles in the 'Les Exclusifs de Chanel' series, the von bottle is a simple, no-frills yet high-quality glass bottle. I like beautiful flacons very much, but the decisive factor is what's inside, and here, content clearly beats form.
The prelude is a bit citric, a bit flowery - and very elegant. At first sight it reminds me of Chanel N°5 or Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere, which I liked to wear in the office for a long time. Quite quickly, however, patchouli in a sweet-powdery version is predominant. My confused nose smells neither iris nor iris root, but again almonds, even if this is not mentioned in the fragrance pyramid. Musk and vanilla are clearly perceptible, finely balanced with incense. The base is a dream, with slightly resinous and woody notes added.
The EdP seems more pleasing to me than the EdT. And while I could have imagined the EdT with its edges on men, I find it harder to imagine Coromandel EdP - I find Coromandel EdP much rounder, softer, more feminine.
This is a grandiose, warm, earthy, slightly sweet dream scent and, like EdT, is one of the best patchouli scents for me. The sensational fragrance triggers a feeling of well-being, warmth and security in me. The durability is with +10 hours on my skin more than super.
Since this scent is quite new to me, I'm already scraping my hooves a little bit that it will finally be autumn. Yes, I read that correctly, and I know it's not even summer. But Coromandel is for me a fragrance for the rather cooler season and part of me can't wait to wear it often.
