Can you do that? "Cherry" without cherry?
Yeah...

As the name suggests, the perfumer has created a fragrance called "Kirsch-Garten".
So for example it is about a field/plantation full of cherry trees. Also possible a private garden with several cherry trees.
I assume that the scenario will take place in spring, when these charming, pretty cherry blossoms will almost outshine everything, the butterflies and bees will fall over them and the sky will be light blue and the sun will gently warm the skin.
He wanted to stand this feeling in the middle of such trees and to perceive the surroundings with all his impressions and sweet, interesting scents and NOT the scent of cherries directly.

This is also confirmed by the manufacturer's description of the fragrance.
Quote: "This fragrance transports the senses to a heavenly luminous field of aromatic cherry blossoms, in which floating butterflies and gentle rays of sunshine envelop the enticing and sweet fragrance of the warm breeze."

There. Because smelling doesn't smell like cherries. The cherry blossom, however, is clearly present!!.
Maybe it's hard to tell because...

The fragrance initially starts strangely fresh, synthetic, slightly greenish and even somehow aniseedy.
At the first test at home I had to sneeze.
This fresh greenish comes from bergamot oil and in addition comes the lovely star anise.
Fortunately Bergamot withdraws quickly and leaves the great bitter almond her big appearance, which is present until the end.
From now on it becomes more and more almond and sweet...

The second large part in the middle field is dominated by floral notes and very soft sandalwood.
A bit stubborn, fresh jasmine is there; a bit very young, still green rose....
This means that both scents are hardly recognizable in the classical sense. So neither Jasmin, nor Rose dominates here.
To be honest, I personally strongly believe that the combination of jasmine, rose and sandalwood should be transformed into a kind of cherry blossom scent including the surroundings.
So it's like a journey of thought !

In the base, after this very fresh, cheeky, bold, soft flowery, slightly spicy, bitter almond start, it becomes more and more sweet and above all almond. Encouraged by the addition of vanilla now!
But Moschus makes sure that it doesn't get gourmandig here, but still has such a young, cheeky character.

All in all, I would describe Cherry Garden as a young, slightly sweet, fresh, flowery fragrance that smells like a mix of cherry blossoms, bitter almonds and musk
Perfect for spring!

If it's hard to imagine him, I'd say that he goes towards "La petite Robe noire" by Guerlain and has some resemblance to "Intense Cherry" by Montale...
But I wouldn't compare.

The manufacturer also says something similar.
Quote: "Cherry Garden awakens a feeling of playfulness and curiosity through sweet traces of almonds, vanilla and Sicilian bergamot oil."
And that's how it smells!

Whether this little sip is worth the price is another matter.
300/ 400 Euro is definitely not worth this fragrance and even if it is not bad, it is not a masterpiece. Above all durability and Sillage are rather so... la la... I can smell it directly on my skin for at least 8 hours! But I also have to press my nose on my skin.
So Sillage in the first 3 h completely ok and me the whole time fogging, but then is also over and the smell very very closely, still very present, but unfortunately only for me alone...

But I think the flacon.... hmm. Yeah, it'd be worth 300 xO
But I'm also a little bottle victim. :(
ALL bottles of House of Sillage are simply a dream! Only this massive, felt 10kg heavy lid with diamonds in it! Wonder wonderful beautiful and very very high quality !!!!!!!
If you take off the lid, you think:
Wow, that has weight, that is sooo beautiful and inside also still with engraving woooow... *glitter eyes*
And then you notice that the glass container is at least as heavy and the glass is really fat.... So what's the first thing I take now to beat someone to death? Definitely possible...
I only say this to underline the high quality ;)

Summasumarum:
The name of the fragrance unfortunately led to false expectations and thus to disappointed perfumes. But if you don't get biased towards him, you might like him a lot. Of bad quality should not be spoken here definitely!
To estimate a kind of "value" is difficult! It's a matter of taste! If you love exactly this fragrance, you might want to pay a high price and the bottle would be worth it and I would find it justified.
But if that doesn't knock you out, get your hands off it.
It's been a long time getting a mega bargain from House of Sillage. The way I saw flacons the other day for only 140 Euro... I would spend more as "not soo fan of perfume" but even more of the bottles, in any case. Anyway for which... So open your eyes or first test them unbiased !
:)

Not one way or the other
Foreword: Actually I haven't been in the mood for comments for a long time... I used to like writing. But times change and so do you...
But since I don't like to delete and revise my statement somehow, even if it is deleted by mods anyway, I have to write a stupid commi... Because somehow, for whatever reason, I would like to share how this fragrance smells.... If you don't like it, don't hesitate to tell us....

Lolitaland is Lolita Lempicka's latest fragrance and was created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian.
Actually, as a little bottle freak and always a girl in my heart, the fascination grabbed me because of the enchanting Flakons♡ In addition, the fact that it is not too easily available. (At the moment, I hope this changes!)
And this combination, which was deadly for me, led me to search for him for hours and hours and days. I must have it!!! That was for sure.
But my wallet at the time said unfortunately NO! Finally I found a bottle to order on the internet and so I tried it with a sharing. I am more than grateful to all my participants who made this addiction possible for me ;D .... Fun;)
Honestly, I didn't really care about the scent. Disillusioned and disappointed by new mainstream fragrances I didn't expect much.
But the inspired Bambi managed to surprise me and taught me once again to have no prejudices, no matter in which life situation and no matter on which topic, not even against "kitschy" bottles....

Lolitaland is a very interesting, not so easy to grasp and difficult to describe fragrance.
It starts slightly tangy, fresh with sweet tangerine and already the beginning of the "Bellini" and peach, which intensifies clearly with time, can be smelled. But the fragrance still looks lively, tender, light with a hint of discreetly spicy pepper. I wouldn't call it fruity because "fruity" means something else to me.
But of course tangerine and peach are fruity...
Quickly an unobtrusive, also again rather subliminal jasmine note joins in. This makes the fragrance rather "adult" and not too girly teeny sweet...
And then Schwupps follows at the same time this great, warm, full-bodied vanilla, which for me even somehow looks like pudding.

And Tadaa... that's it. That's ♡Lolitaland♡!
Smells relatively fast into the base and then smells like BELLINI on VANILLEPUDDING.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Yes... As not at all as expected although already expected, especially not at all irrelevant how irrelevant it sounds, so not at all ....
A bit like in Wonderland, a "drink me" from Alice, a sweet, sweet-looking brew with a lot of wumms.
Dazzling, fascinating and different than expected!
Thank you Francis Kurkdjian!
I now need a new bottle all to myself .........
