Unusual
A very unusual fragrance.
The base looks dry and spicy, vetiver and nutmeg are recognizable, and the whole is covered with a bitter citric note (not lemongrass) and peppered with tropical flowers.
Overall impression :
- Somehow tropical, but also
- dry, warm and spicy
the fragrance also has something edible (nutmeg, curry spices, but without cumin) and repulsive (some flower that I can't assign, or too much nutmeg?), but the overall impression is refreshing and good to imagine in a tropical climate.
A subliminal sweetness spreads, which over time increasingly influences the scent impression.
In the first quarter of an hour I had to think of DSH Bamboo Pulp, even though this fragrance differs greatly from Bambou, there is a common component that I do not know from any other fragrance.
From a certain distance it appears more fruity (passion fruit?) after a while, but when I smell it exactly I do not notice the fruity component, it is at most part of the dry-floral-muscat spicy mixture.
That was more than fit into a statement, hence a comment.
Conclusion: Interesting.
I like the slim bottle with the wooden label, but the spray head is only mediocre.
Does anyone know anything more about this brand from the Seychelles?
Is that a natural perfume?

The fragrance for picnics in the orchard
I recently went to the small Art of Scent Swiss Perfumes shop in Berne.
There I got very friendly 1:1 advice from an employee, was allowed to test several perfumes and finally got two good sample sizes.
I tested the Parfums d'atelier, the Aaarewasser and the Gold Editions.
I took Everglow and Mönch as samples.
From the Parfums d'atelier, the other perfumes tested didn't agree with me, although I didn't think they were bad now - but the perfumes all seemed quite sweet and clean overall and weren't exactly rich in the resinous, mossy and gay-white-blueheric scents I currently love. Allegedly they were created by the perfumer as fragrances that she herself likes - and yes, I see a red line in the Parfums d'atelier collection.
There is also a fresher cologne scent (La Pirate, if I hadn't been mistaken) that my husband would surely have liked; an algae Aquate (Aare water) for everyone who should miss swimming in the Aare on the way; and Jungfrau, whom I found quite meaningless in contrast to the mountain standing for it.
The owner also offers perfume workshops (290CHF for individuals) where you can mix your own fragrance from different ingredients.
Back to Everglow...
Prelude:
Quite alcohol-heavy, fresh and sweet-harsh.
Skin:
I smell rose geranium and something floral, but I can't attribute it to Lily, Ylang Ylang or the acacia.
A sparkling citrus component mixes the whole thing a little and adds a tart green component.
If I read it that way, it sounds like bergamot, but I would have blindly guessed some bitter lemon or semi-fermented lime.
On the skin, that's it. The scent distorts quite fast - within 30min it is gone and only a hint of bergamot remains.
On the blouse...
another side comes into its own: lily, ylang ylang and musk gently come to the surface.
The whole thing looks clean, sweet and powdery; with a few drops of flower nectar here and there speckled in between. For the powdery component I would not have guessed iris root, but some component, in the description "powdery" is quite far ahead (at the moment I use Iris pallida in Weingeist from the butterfly brand as an object of comparison).
The fragrance always stays on the clean side. It is never overwhelming, but always has the sillage of an office scent and remains close to the body.
The whole thing is a cloud of the finest and lightest ylang-ylang powder. The bergamot pushes itself again with its green side underneath, before a hint of sweet, vanilla powder remains after about 2 hours.
I smelled a similar chord this week in Byblos Cielo, but there it is described as musk-sandalwood-vanilla.
Vanilla musk powder I would have said now too.
I like the development of this light fragrance on my blouse and would like to wear it from time to time in spring.
But he certainly won't become one of my favorites, because he is too flat and too "lovely" for that.
To remind you of FabianO's blog entry worth reading:
I just like guys like Arneis, Ribolla Gialla and Tocai/Friulano/Whateveryouwannacallit; and please stay dry :-D
Conclusion:
A beautiful, lively spring scent, which I can see well in the office or at a picnic under the cherry tree.
Now autumn and winter are approaching... Ambre Sultan, here I come!

Perhaps there is a reformulation of the oil that is completely different from Couchlock's version?

Tender beige scented veil
That would have been the scent I would have used instead of Chanel's "Beige."
If it's beige, then it's beige.
What is beige for me?
A discolour somehow, but also an evergreen.
Neutral and understated, but also natural and classic enough to come across elegant in any situation, especially when a fine fabric is chosen.
This fragrance - elegant, slightly powdery, dry, slightly leathery - is predominantly saffrony. He suits all sexes, all situations, and you are well dressed with him. However, you don't stand out because of a great, complex fragrance - it just accompanies the overall impression and doesn't impose itself.
Beige.
Fortunately, the vanilla note doesn't come through very well with me, but only resonates slightly. I can well imagine a saffrony-vanilla-milky dish smelling like this. By the way, I would not have typed on rose as a fragrance, but on pomegranate.
Nevertheless, the fragrance doesn't look particularly sweet, the sugary notes were used moderately here - even if there are different opinions on this, I perceive it that way.
I don't smell sandalwood in here.
Not a bad buy for me. The fragrance will certainly be consumed faster than some others, precisely because it will be very easy to reach for this bottle without thinking.
On the other hand, I won't be sorry for one second if I don't have him anymore.
I would have wished for a slightly spicier, more woody interpretation of saffron, but it was a blind purchase (yes, yeah, yeah...)-
By the way, I like to wear beige.
Comes in my color statistics right after orange :-D

Two fragrances - will probably be a mood sway...
Short comment:
Got two minis here that look identical but smell different.
One is not green at all, but rather dirty-floral (jasmine clearly) with moss base.
The second opens with a green-tart wave. Jasmine is added, but then flies away and leaves behind a spring-like (lily of the valley), floral scent, almost sweet - despite residual jasmine.
Do you think the scent suffers from mood swings? P
I prefer the dirty version :-D
