Mocha + Baklava (and sea)
For all coffee scent seekers:

Here is really times coffee in it! More precisely, a dense mocha, accompanied by a - in a Mediterranean appropriate way - neat sweet pastries or even baklava, which was refined with rose oil. Bon appetit. Now only the view of the sea is missing!
Delox can be a little (too) overwhelming in the first few minutes, but then gradually becomes a powdery floral (honey) coffee flatterer, which is well wearable - just please not every day and then really enjoy...

I find it compared to the Intense Café of Montale more balanced, less (invertzucker)syrupy and despite the intense fragrance impression not synthetic. Here the quality already stands out clearly, after all, this effect is achieved by the concentration of an extract. And crucially, the coffee comes through much more clearly, even playing one of the main roles and not just in the top note either. Both fragrances are worth appreciating and have a shocking amount in common, but I have found my favorite.

Dance out of line with style
Kobe is an extravagant citrus (fruit) scent with class. It is absolutely unisex and a seasonal all-rounder and can, in my opinion, be worn especially (as is currently the case) as an accompaniment on sunny, colourful days or to cheer up on cool, cloudy autumn days. In the morning on the way to work Kobe can work wonders!
And on what occasions is it suitable? Anything. Elegant/dating, date/parents, classic/office, everyday/simple.

The fragrance starts out bitter-bitter, spicy-citric. It is pleasantly refreshing without being "fresh" in the classical sense. Lemon yellow radiance. Right at the beginning I can perceive a wood/oud note delicately woven into the fragrance. However, this remains elegantly in the background throughout the entire fragrance and lends substance.
At the heart note, the prelude changes into a wonderfully harmonious blend of neroli with hints of subtly soft orange blossom, which, together with the plush tonka bean, gives the fragrance a very subtle sweetness - rounds off the fragrance. The fragrance shows a really good endurance in the heart note.
Towards the base no more significant change - the fragrance only becomes quieter and ... you want more

Starry night in Hurghada
This fragrance is something for the evening, ideally a slightly cool evening in the summer - or else when and where after a sunny day - personally I first wore Oriental Leather on a cool evening in Egypt. On the other hand, I also imagine it very refreshing on a still muggy and warm night. However, it is also suitable for the office. The scent is spicy-powdery and at the same time radiantly fresh and clear with a subtle underlying sweetness. Lavender and benzoin are probably to blame for the freshness. The leather notes provide a quiet foundation well woven into the fragrance composition. The scent reminds me of Tauer's Au Coeur du Désert, with the difference that the latter is spicier-drier and less fresh (no lavender). The flacon design reflects 1:1 the fragrance!

This was my first comment, by the way...I hope it helps one or the other further!
