Confident diva
I imagine a curvy, feminine woman in her mid-30s. She knows where she stands in life, what she wants and what she can do. She wears a velvet, flared evening gown, shoulders exposed and a plunging neckline. With every movement she exudes "Imperiale - Iris Malika | Chopard" and draws the men under her spell. Magnetic, feminine, seductive, royal. This is a fragrance for a strong woman who does not always have to please, but you automatically have respect for her.
The bottle is beautiful, heavy and valuable. That alone made me want to have it. :)
The fragrance has a fruity prelude, not squeaky and loud, but velvety. Woven around cardamom and very little cinnamon this first impression evokes a noble fruitiness. It arouses interest to surrender to the fragrance, to smell pure. As the name suggests, the hint of iris veils the whole creation. Paired with the rose in the heart, this fragrance exudes enormous femininity, so powerful that it vllt some might be too much. Especially when a slightly narcotic-balsamic ylang-ylang slowly reveals itself. Up to this point, the heart of "Imperiale - Iris Malika | Chopard" holds on to me and clothes 4-5 hrs until a smooth base of amber and tonka touches the nose. The incense adds a slight tartness, a subtle smoky character and gives the floral explosion a solid base. In addition, a balsamic-resinous component joins and creates another dimension olfaktorischerln pleasure.
Projection is very good. Everyone within a radius of 2m knows where you are. Sillage very good. Durability a total of 15 hrs on clothes.
This is not a fragrance for everyone. Young people might find it "old", but as with wine, our olfactory sensors also mature, perceive the many layers of the fragrance differently. So definitely a fragrance for advanced.
"Imperiale - Iris Malika | Chopard" is definitely a ladies fragrance, but as a man I like to wear it layered with "Vanilla | 28 | Kayali" eg to mix the iris something creamy - mild with. In each case 1 Spritz of both and one has the whole evening again and again a light veil in the nose. Fallen it has somehow other men better than the ladies with whom I was on the road.
Definitely not a blind buy, test beforehand.

Vanilla with milky chocolate
Follow up : I've been wearing this scent on the daily and I do like 5 sprays. I'm pulling compliments everywhere I go as to how delicious is smell. Most of them say I remind them of a sweet bakery. Even my mom thought I was hiding a cake somewhere.
I bought this, because many you tubers rave how good this cheapy is. I live in Germany and ordered this for around 16€. It's pretty reasonable for 50ml. It came well packaged within a few days.
After the first spray I was intrigued of how good it smelled. The opening is definitely vanilla. Warm, vibrant, authentic even. Not scratchy, sweet bath and body works kinda vanilla. Pretty sophisticated I'd say. This fragrance is definitely gourmand and the chocolate side rather the first runner up. With that said, the scent doesn't develop much, but it projects like crazy, the Sillage is beyond 2 arms lengths. And it sits on my skin now for over 8hrs. On clothing it is going strong!
It's sweet and delicious, yet not cloying and headache inducing. I'm very impressed to experience this on a cheapy.
Now, I have read threads and blogs about a reformulation. It's supposed to be watered down? I might be lucky, that I've received the original one? Because this scent is intense. High quality intense. If this fragrance had more depth, I would dare to say it COULD be niche-esk!
So I ordered another bottle of this already, but have seen that the juice is of lighter color. I will see if there is a difference between these two.
With all being said, it all comes down to : is it worth blind buying this? If you like gourmand leaning scents - absolutely! You get a bang out of your buck and it will last forever! If you like vanilla - Absolutely! But keep in mind : It's not very chocolaty as the name suggest. If you know "Chocolate Greedy | Montale" and love the scent, it is nothing like that.
Have a nice day.

Ghost of Hypnotic poison
I live in Germany and this is discussed as a "Hypnotic Poison (Eau de Toilette) | Dior" dupe on several blog posts and videos. I love Hypnotic poison and tested the dupe while I was in the drugstore. So it's currently really cold and humid just for consideration and I have rather dry skin. I sprayed twice on my wrist and first was just the scent of alcohol. I expected this from a very cheap product. A minute later there was a faint sweetness and it slowly resembled Door's HP. There is nothing much to say. Projection next to non, no Sillage and the scent was gone after an 1 hr. I mean this is sold as EDP. thee reality is rather a body splash. This perfume is so faint and watered down, that I am really disappointed. The performance is beyond weak compared to the original, but even if I didn't know the intoxicating HP, I wouldn't ever buy this fragrance.
In conclusion :It's a no. Not even if you're on a budget. It's a waste of money.
An alternative discussed was "Kenzo Amour | Kenzo" and I agree to the resemblance. Maybe try this out instead.

Underestimated, unjustly?
Before I go into the title, here's a little info:
Thierry Mugler is known for his innovative, niche fragrances. Either you loved them or you found them too heavy and stifling. Mugler designs fragrances that emphasize the uniqueness of the person wearing them. Mugler fashion is also avant-garde, and the shows are a spectacle.
In advertising, the marketing specialists have chosen Willow Smith, who is known to be "edgy, young and confident". She also stands out because of your special style. Gen Z. M goes with the times. So far so good. Fits everything in the Mugler DNA.
Now we also know that 2020 L'Oréal has taken over Mugler. That is many already bitterly aufgestoßen. Let's keep in mind.
We hold : unique fragrances, avant-garde fashion, modern, cool non-mainstream testimonial.
Expectations are high. And now to the fragrance:
The first spray in mild autumn weather on the paper strip. Big question mark in my head. Where is the drumbeat announcing a mysterious, divine fragrance? Where is the controversy between love and dislike? The drumbeat does not come even later on my skin, because I am met by a creamy flatterer. An intimate embrace of a light figure that envelops me with your vanilla coconutiness. Completely without corners, controversies and doubts, the gourmand fragrance lulls me. Immediately at the beginning one takes the coconut water, less sugary creamy like the coconut cream, but a little fresher, supported by the bergamot. Jasmine and heliotrope together form the floral sibling that dances seductively around my nose.(Jasmine is part of Mugler's DNA, but I guess that's pretty much it). The heart and base blend smoothly, precisely because the ingredients are so similar in nature. Creamy, silky, soft. Cashmeran gives it a pretty solid base, so the scent achieves a certain depth. Basically, this composition has little potential for development. The bergamot floats away in a few minutes and the coconut water resonates with the floral sisters in unison on the final chords of softness.
So, but why underrated and possibly unjustly? Anyone who loves the classic Mugler fragrances will hate this one. Numerous Youtube videos and online reviews voice the displeasure of many. Alien Goddess has absolutely nothing to do with the Alien series. Above all, this fragrance is rather generic, pleasing and completely lacking edges. Mugler probably should have marketed this fragrance as a standalone, because expectations were high, as stated at the beginning. But is it a bad fragrance?? No, this gourmand collects compliments, you feel comfortable and - by the coconut-vanilla duet - also a little like on vacation.
If someone approaches this fragrance without bias, without prior experience of who Mugler is, what the brand stands for, he will adore this fragrance.
Does one do this fragrance injustice, if one evaluates him badly, because this resembles the others so little? Absolutely.
We remember that L'Oréal has taken over Mugler and you can tell from this creation : this is to appeal to the younger generation. And it seems that they are successful with it. (According to numerous reviews online)
Conclusion : This one is a solid gourmand. Vllt even one of the better in the designer fragrances segment. The bottle is a highlight as usual, refillable, sillage is quite good and durability at 6/10. 6-7 hours you definitely still perceive the fragrance on clothes. Hours less than, for example, Angel.
But what bothers me is the price: 30ml for about 60€? For a fairly generic fragrance?
Through my beauty points at Douglas I paid for the set (30ml+Travel spray 10ml) only 40€. Find, that is feasible.
Wear can probably every woman at any age. I wear it as a man too, but there is some courage :).
I can already recommend, but only if you do not have to pay the original price for it.
So go on, go sniffing and turn off here times the Colognaisseur in the head for a moment. ;)
Ps: I have meanwhile times experimented a bit. Layering with "Not a Perfume | Juliette Has A Gun" works as expected super. But what also goes well is Layern with "The Scent Private Accord for Her | Hugo Boss". The latter turns Goddess into a gournandic delicacy. The response was very convincing. ? But I prefer to wear Goddess as it is and enjoy it more day by day.

Juliette is definitely not carrying a gun here
Hi Parfumas and Parfumos,
2010 I joined the community here. NOT A PERFUME came on the market in 2010. It was bound to happen that we would come together. Now the time has come. Anyone who has ever read my reviews knows that as a man, I have become more and more open to more feminine scents over the last 10 years. I have no regrets and advise every man to dive into the world of women's fragrances. We have so many more olfactory options that way. Many declared women's fragrances are of so tart that without further ado a (young) man could dare.
As we all know, the last few years were rather less fragrant. The only perfume I wore every day was Sterilium and alcohol. That was enough for me now. I always wanted to wear Cetalox-heavy fragrances, skin-affine fragrances, because at work strong sillage is so not seen gladly.
NTP has only Cetalox as a fragrance molecule, so there is no real development as in a classically composed fragrance of top -, heart, and base notes. There are no surprises, but one should not underestimate the adaptability of Cetalox. This substance amplifies other fragrances, therefore perfect for layering, or it highlights your own smell - which I appreciate incredibly.
My niece- 27, fresh and young. And amazingly so smells the scent on her skin. Citrusy, acidic fresh, stimulating. Later a little creamier and skin affinity.
With me 39, man, androgynous it smells very soft, musky, pheromonig you could say already. Quite feminine. It smells like my skin, only more intense, better. It's unobtrusive, creamy, a little erotic... I think it invites people to want to smell you. An invitation to physical contact. Gentle seduction...
Lol vllt but also just wishful thinking. The fact is that the sillage is low, but the fragrance floats like a second skin, an aura over the wearer. I like to smell on me, even if that sounds weird. Durability is over 15 hours and even after showering the scent is present.
I also like to wear this scent to sleep. I find people smell best in the morning (as long as they have showered before :)) and NTA smells like my partner does in the morning. That invites to cuddle.

Conclusion : Everyone should have tested this non perfume. I consider this a must-have. Who is familiar with Iso-E and Molecules, will also have his pleasure here.
Sniff times with Notino purely. They have Sale. ? #notsponsored #mandarfmichabermalsponsern
