Last Sunday afternoon, during Berlin Fashion Week, a luxury hotel in Berlin organized a designer flea market in a suite.

Designer handbags were spread out on the beds and the finest Italian fashion was hanging on the hangers.

A little blonde with a red painted xxl mouth stomped through the crowd in 12cm louboutins.

I couldn't believe my eyes but that plump rack and wasp waist... that's Amanda Lepore fucking shit!

What is she doing here? No idea but I'm getting close to her.

At a distance of 4 meters it smelled pompously heavy... an opulent scent from ancient times filled the luxury suit.

It was Amanda.

The scent of Amanda Lepore dominated the oxygen level in the room, almost stuffy.

The closer I got to her, the more overwhelming the smell became.

I approached her and asked her what perfume she was wearing, she replied in a smoky voice:,, Arpegè from Lanvin, it's my favorite,,.

We took a photo, I thanked her and went on my way.

Wow.

I don't think anything could describe the fragrance better than Amanda Lepore.

Because that's exactly how you imagine she might smell.

The Arpegé by Lanvin is a fragrance worthy of an icon, noble, pompous, opulent, suffocating and heavy. A fragrance that hits like a bomb.

I bought it straight away.
Wonderful.

So, as a true fan of the original, of course I had to buy this version.

Who knows A Goodnight Kiss by ROJA knows that the price is the equivalent of a used car or 4 months rent.

Which of course has the consequence that normal mortals can only sneak this fragrance as a tester or spray him secretly with the rich girlfriend in the bathroom.

A Nightly Kiss by Dua was produced exactly for this reason to enable us to smell like a multimillionaire.

So, the fragrance was ordered directly on the dua website price ok although for 30 ml but quite expensive in my opinion but good, better than the original price of Doja.

Package arrived, the bottle and the lid are rather drugstore style so weeeeeit away from the 24k gold-plated with Swarovski crystals decorated Doja.

The frontal logo plaque on the Nightly Kiss Is, however, made of metal with 3D engraving and looks high quality and elegantly finished.

So and now to the fragrance !

Directly times aufgesprüht full of expectation and curiosity I was... surprised...

What is that ?!

Ok similarity is definitely there !
The scent direction is actually very similar to the original.

However, much lighter, fresher cooler so quasi like an edt or rather eau fraiche version of the original AGK

It smells like the original Powdery yes ! Aldehydes, rose, violet and clove dominate the scent like the original.

But Unlike the AGK smells here more SEIFIG than powdery in my opinion the flowers are synthetic here....

Apart from that, the heaviness in the fragrance is missing it seems muted and fresher lighter than the original.

With the AGK of ROJA is in the fragrance an intensity and warmth that the Dua Dupe does not have it lacks the heavy the impact the creamy the viscous oily...

And for whatever reason something was omitted here... maybe because of legal reasons or to save costs.... something is missing...

Summary:
YES the fragrance smells good and is similar to the original, but is more of a light fresh version of original and nowhere near as luxurious and opulent.

Who likes soapy powdery fragrances comes here fully at his expense.

Rose, violet and aldehyde in combination with the rice powder dominate the soapy powdery smell, but are muted by leather and cloves and get spice.

Durability is quite good but of course not like the original.

Here the fragrance keeps me safe good 6-8 std what is perfectly OK !

CONCLUSION
Who can not afford the original AGK,

or is looking for a lighter or everyday version,

The can strike here with a clear conscience!

The fragrance does not disappoint and can also independently of the original independently keep up as a fragrance.

A Nightly Kiss is not a cheap plagiarism,
it is still a complex composition that is inspired rather than copied from the original.

The fragrance reminds me strongly of "Modern Muse," but a touch more oriental, the components are very concrete.

I smell the tangerine, fruity base and not too sweet, a thick floral tangerine.

Rose I smell very present, classic roses powdered with heliotrope, creamy and warm very feminine.

And last but not least the patchouli, it underlines the fragrance, gives it character and does not kill, it takes away the sweetness of the fragrance and makes it balanced,
Balsamic, oriental and adult.

The scent hardly develops on my skin but gently fades away.

The flacon is very pretty and qualitative.
The fragrance is not a cheap plörre I smell quality.

Sillage is expressive but not overwhelming.
Durability is very good I can smell it for days on my clothes in the laundry basket and on my pillows.

I've received many compliments, mostly from men...

All in all a successful fragrance.

COCO and I weren't friends, we weren't even acquaintances. no! I couldn't stand COCO, I avoided COCO! Disregarded and ignored COCO!

COCO was Perfuma Non Grata !!!

I've been using and wearing perfume since I was 14. The first perfume I ever owned was Hypnotism by Lancome. A sweet scent of the 2000's and joined by some "modern," mainstream Gucci by Gucci's, Aliens and Hypnotic Poisons.

In my teenage years up until my early 20s, I was the classic "I wear what's in," chick.

Often and with pleasure I sniffed my way through the
Douglas through the shelves at Chanel too... but there wasn't much I liked... ...too old-fashioned about Omahaaft... chance and coco mademoiselle were still going, but the rest... OMAAAA.

One day, when I was 17 or 18, I met COCO... A saleswoman sprayed it on a test strip and I smelled it and shouted:, Pfuiiiii TEUFEL ! Who would buy this?!?!,,,

This "grandma smell,,, burned itself so negatively in the Mark me that I already only if I saw the bottle cursed and scolded.

BIS !!!! BEFORE !!! SHORT !!!!!

Now I'm 27 and moving towards 30... but for whatever reason, my taste in perfume has changed dramatically since then.

Years of abuse of mainstream sugar and vanilla bombs have caused a change in me... i became a woman!

Yes, I have matured!

Today I appreciate the complexity and moral values of a classic... Fragrances like Jean Patou's Joy and Teint de Neige are now in my collection. Encre Noir pour Elle, Faith by Amouge, Coromandel and Jersey... all the "granny scents" I blasphemed about are now my daily companions.

The smell of a lady says a lot about her... at that time it was important to me that others like my smell! But today I wear what I like ! For every day and every mood I have the right scent !

But now back to COCO... and why I'm dedicating a commentary to him, of all people.

Last year, I saw my favorite YouTube vloggerin in a ,,room tour,, video a bottle of COCO stand . she told me the scent reminds her of her childhood and she loves it. Hmmmm well, good for her I thought... it excited me but the memory of COCO was burned into me like the scarlet letter.

Well then again another youtuberin Jamie Chua a stone-rich asian lady with hermes birkins and diamonds... told in her video how much she loves COCO and that for her it is the fragrance of her youth.

Well, that can't be true, I thought this woman has access to the most exclusive fragrances in the world and it says COCO?

Due to my job I travelled a lot and was constantly on the road at airports, and like every good junky I loved to be in the Duty Free.

Only when the whole plane was puffing and coughing was I satisfied.

So it happened then in Zurich that I sprayed COCO edt on the hand on the advice of the YouTuberinnen. yes mhhh ok yes it smells somehow really good mhhh ok... but I didn't dare to spray it completely on myself just on the hand.

I caught myself the whole flight and the taxi drives to the hotel smelling my hand and I liked the smell...

The game of spraying and smelling went on for weeks... i liked it from time to time better and better at some point I sprayed it on myself, and I loved it I changed there between edt and edp.

I liked the edt better in the end.
I don't know why but the lightness of the edt brought out the chords and nuances much better than the rather heavy edp. But that is a matter of taste

Well, somehow my disgust and later curiosity developed into an obsession no an addiction and I started to think only about COCO... i got so lost in coco that i had to have it for EVERY PRICE !

Without mercy 100ml edt bought and since then I spray 2 bottles empty every month.

The COCO edt by Chanel is for me the ultimate fragrance for every occasion. COCO is elegant and clean, feminine and a touch of eroticism.

In the beginning coco is very flowery i smell the classic roses and the touch of iris a bit sweet and soapy but pleasant. Clean ! A bit like fresh laundry.

It takes some time until the erotic incense comes out and COCO shows his erotic side mixed with patchouli the first soapy COCO turns into an oriental aphrodisiac and gives me everything I wish for a fragrance.

COCO is my new signature fragrance and I feel confident, elegant, clean, feminine and sexy when I wear it.

A classic that brings out the elegance of a woman and nothing is sexier than elegance.

I personally feel that the edt is more appropriate for my age. The lightness seems more harmonious and timeless to me. The edp I will eventually put on but I prefer the sillage of the edt sometimes less is more and I find the bottle very pretty and very Chanel.

First of all I would like to mention that I cannot stand oud scents for reasons unknown to me... for me, oud scents always smell the same: bitter, masculine, dark, dominant. Oud just smells masculine and bitter to me. I've tried it so many times with Oud but I don't like it and it just smells poisonous on me.

At least that was so until I discovered Tiger Oud from Cavalli, I could not believe it... this was and is for me the first Oud fragrance that not bitter but feminine smells and Oud as a component only underlines the fragrance and not completely drowned out.

Tiger Oud smells warm for me, and elegant it smells powdery but not dry powdery but sensual creamy I smell roses ! No cheap soaps roses but dark red roses, thick velvety rose petals in full bloom their erotic feminine fragrance have breathed out, the flower extract of these roses is oily thick and dark like amber honey, combined with the Oud but here not dark but light and velvety smells, this fragrance embodies luxurious eroticism.

Tiger Oud is not pushy but pleasant and pleasant. Tiger Oud is definitely an oud scent that is well wearable, it works all the time after dosage during the day and in the evening. I am sure that Tiger Oud is a perfume that is well suited for Oud beginners. Roberto Cavalli presents us with Tiger Oud a feminine and powdery version of the rather harsh and masculine oud notes, simple but ingenious the hardness of the Oud is mixed with feminine roses and thus to a creamy opulent and above all pleasant fragrance.

For Tiger Oud I got infinitely many compliments, the smell came even with my best girlfriend well at the even only sugar-sweet Angel and Si wears little smell ... the durability is above average, the smell develops for me not really but rather after the time and becomes softer and more creamy
