I had ordered a 3-ml filling for expensive 12 €. I knew neither the brand nor the fragrance, but....ich try yes like new or completely unknown to me.

Then the day of the first test......sprayed, waited, smelled..... almost fell off the chair....

"Divine Perversion" there you have to be very very strong to (er)wear this fragrance.

I was almost slain when I sprayed on "Divine Perversion". It smelled like fresh skid marks, like rubber - I couldn't detect any raspberries let alone any "fruit".... also no pink pepper (although some spiciness showed up- minimal)

Ok - after about 20 minutes the rubber calmed down.
Then something animalic with lots of amber came out. Oh my god. Please make it somehow still smell like caramel, or like something floral, like rose or iris or at least like wood....... Please!!!
My prayers have not been answered. ?

Hours later. My husband and I sat in the conservatory with a glass of wine. Suddenly my husband says "what's that perfume you have on you? That turns me right on"
What???
I incredulous: " Do you really find that beautiful - this smell?"
HE: "Yes - very much so"
I: "Ok - but I do not"
Because in the meantime I smelled (subjectively) only somehow ..... "bubble gum".
Either my sense of smell for this perfume is not suitable (I have unfortunately a very very sensitive sense of smell - highly pronounced to bad smells), or I associate too much because of the name "Divine Perversion" - with "perversion" you can associate all sorts of negative - all sorts of bad....anrüchiges..

For me, this perfume is nothing - sorry.

I had nevertheless granted him several tests. Each time with the same result: Never, ever!!
Even if my husband found it pleasant..... I just can't smell it!

But thank God tastes are different and as different as there are different people on this earth.

It's just my subjective perception. But...maybe there are people who feel the same way as I do.

A few days ago it was again so far - I needed now immediately and immediately a new perfume. One, which I did not know yet and had never tested. Blind purchase so to speak.
I decided for the Pink Coral of Armaf - alone the specified ingredients such as orange, bergamot and patchouli gave the decision to order it.
Yesterday it arrived with me. I thought the packaging alone was unique - the round velvet box the bottle was in is a real eye-catcher. The bottle itself is quite heavy and very valuable processed.
Then the first spray on the wrist. Boahhhh. Mhmmmmm... WOW....I was blown away. The opening started with a lovely ethereal orange aroma, with rose joining in very subtly right away. Bergamot tended to stay in the background at first. What enraptured me so, was the warmth, the softness, the fruitiness which spread in the room and triggered in me a real sense of well-being and something like security.
After about an hour and dozens of sniffs on the wrist I could guess a little bit of patchouli and powdery vanilla with a hint of jasmine. I love patchouli - and yes - there could be a little more of it creeping out here.....
After about 5 hours, Pink Coral has unfolded as a "total work of art" - a classy and characterful scent where the DNA seems very balanced and I didn't notice much more change in the scent progression in the dry down. Thank God.
The durability is incredible!
This morning I still smelled - albeit quite distantly - a small floret lying next to a vanilla bean, covered by a jasmine bush soaked with some musk and patchouli.

I'm overjoyed about this absolutely brilliant blind purchase, which, incidentally, has not strained my wallet very much and which you can just indulge yourself so times.
