Einfachich

I'll be brief, because what I have to say is too long for a statement. (EIgentlich but also too for a comment. Anyway, you have to go through now)
L'Or de Vanille starts with a slightly citrusy, tart vanilla. With a little good will, I would actually call this note bergamot. However, the vanilla is more dominant and displaces the citrusy quite quickly. After that, it's all vanilla for quite some time. Not too sweet, not too banal, but warm and slightly gourmand.
Later, the vanilla becomes a little Pudrig. But before it can become too dusty comes musk as a dust filter. Tonka gives additional sweetness and warmth in the fragrance.
And more does not happen here (more)
The fragrance is not too sweet, as one might fear from the pyramid. In the base I would have liked something less musk.
The durability is Good and the fragrance does not fill rooms.
A similarity to the Valkyrie of Sylvaine Delacourte is clearly present, which I also find much more balanced.
Nevertheless, the L'Or Vanille is worth a test.

The Timur pepper, here indicated as Nepalese Szechuan pepper, is a subspecies of the Szechuan pepper, which is mostly cultivated in China. The Timur pepper is not related to the pepper, but to the citrus plants. The berries are harvested by hand in Nepal at an altitude of 2000 metres from the up to 10 metre high, thorny, wild growing plants. Its pungency is milder than the usual Szechuan pepper, but its aromas are citric, woody, slightly acidic, grapefruit-like and somewhat herbaceous. This is why Timur pepper is often called lemon or grapefruit pepper. Its effect is described as stimulating.

With that I could end the description of the perfume, because the main ingredient of Timur is the pepper of the same name. But I still continue writing, because the other notes still play a role ;-)

Timur starts citric-fresh with the light acidity of a grapefruit and a subtle spiciness. After some time the grapefruit asserts itself and the citric recedes somewhat. This phase even lasts surprisingly long for this kind of fragrance. Later, lavender joins the grapefruit and the first woody notes become apparent.
The base is made of vetiver with a touch of patchouli and some amber, which gives the fragrance a little more depth, while being slightly herbaceous but never losing its freshness.

The shelf life is very good for a fragrance of this kind, the silage moderate.

Conclusion: Timur is different ;-) I would dare to speak of a fragrance experience here. The aromas of the Timur pepper harmonize in a very special way that you don't find that often. The interplay of citric, woody and sour notes is fun, lifts the spirits and is really stimulating

Mariechen says to Mariechen, let me smell Mariechen, so Mariechen let Mariechen smell me
That's the first thing that came to mind about the scent name. Everyone probably knows the spell, unlike the scent.
But who is Mariechen"?
And why is Mariechen making herself beautiful? Does she have a date, a job interview, an important temin?
In a philosophical view, Mariechen is the Mariechen in all of us and makes herself beautiful because she likes to make herself beautiful and feel beautiful.
But our Mariechen does not make herself beautiful in the classic way the name suggests, no, the Mariechen (how often can I write Mariechen without the name Mariechen getting on your nerves?) is a bit different than other Mariechen. She has less than nothing to do with a "Funkenmariechen". (Although she comes from Cologne)
Mariechen wears leather, in the beginning a fresh and fruity leather jacket with a fine blueberry note and a touch of coconut.sounds funny? But it is great in combination. Unusual? Yep, definitely
Under the leather jacket Mariechen wears a tight leather dress, which is rubbed with herbs and wood and removes the fruity nuances when she takes the jacket off. In addition, Mariechen has a fag in her hand although she does not smoke. She simply loves the spicy smell of fine tobacco
Mariechen is a self-confident Mariechen and lives her own style and doesn't fit into the mainstream, which she probably doesn't find that beautiful. Our Mariechen does not like to adapt to the masses.
When Mariechen (well, isn't it annoying yet?) is on the road, she is on the road for a long time, her trips last at least 8 hours. And she is noticed.

Short note:
Dear Mr. Manasse, in case you are reading this: It doesn't work like that. It really doesn't. There are some notes in this fragrance that I usually don't like at all (leather, tobacco). But you manage, as in other fragrances with the rose, that I really like these notes here. The harmonious interplay, the balance and the individuality of the fragrance. Mariechen does not only make herself beautiful, Mariechen is beautiful.
This completely throws my whole "scent preference" understanding, which I had so far of me, completely over the heap.
And if we now briefly note that Mariechen is a "belittlement" of Maria, then this fragrance is even unisex, because Maria is also a male name.
And this Mariechen here will definitely move in with me sooner or later ;-)

Devachan is composed of Sanskrit (Deva -> light being, god) and Tibetan (Chan -> having, living, place, place). So it can be translated with "place of the gods" and "the place where the essence of the thing dwells"
We find the term Devachan in both theosophy and anthrosophy. In both teachings the definitions are slightly different, but can be summarized as a place above the astral worlds.
What does that have to do with the scent now? Everything and nothing
Devachan does have a slightly mystical touch, if you want to get involved. In any case, it's a fragrance that touches you, envelops you and grounds you.
After spraying on, a hint of cocoa flashes through very briefly, but is immediately overlaid by the rose. Who knows me knows about my aversion to roses in fragrances. But Uwe Manasse manages to underlay the rose with a slightly green-grassy base and to wrap it in a light incense, so that even I like the rose here. (And that alone is already an art ;-) )
The individual notes here are perfectly balanced and equilibrated, supporting each other without becoming dominant.
The incense here does not become too smoky and the rose not too pompous, instead an almost spherical scent is created, which would put us above the astral worlds ;-)
Devachan is a fragrance that should fit to many occasions, because it is light and bright and -for me- has something very attractive.
The combination of rose, sweet grass and frankincense in this form is truly unusual, but really very well implemented.
I find the Sillage pleasant and not too strong. The shelf life is now 7 hours and the scent is still clearly perceptible
For me another test recommendation from the fragrance.

The Palo Santo, like the frankincense tree, belongs to the balsamic tree family. Its wood has been used for centuries in many ways as incense, medicine, jewellery, etc. Above all, Palo Santo is used in aromatherapy, as it is said to have a relaxing, mood-lifting and concentration-enhancing effect

Perfumer XA has placed the sacred wood here at the heart of the fragrance, surrounded by a sea of flowers and with the sweetness of tonka and amber. Patchouli adds a delicately earthy note and even the incense seems earthy here.
What makes this fragrance special and stands out from the crowd is the liveliness it seems to possess. Often the nose is drawn to the wrist and each time the scent is different and yet not. New facets constantly open up from the play of the soft-creamy Palo Santo with the flowers and the earthy nuances. The sweetness never becomes too much or too intrusive, but blends seamlessly into the harmonious overall picture. XA has even managed to integrate the rose in such a way that I can't say anything negative about it. And I usually don't like rose in fragrances at all. It is even the KO-criterion when a fragrance doesn't make it onto my Goes Not At All list

Xa Palo S does not have a real course. But because of the liveliness of the fragrance this is not tragic.

This fragrance is complex and has depth. Nevertheless, it is easy to wear and should suit every occasion and every gender.
Despite the high temperatures during the test today, I can still feel it well after 7 hours. The Sillage is to the point. Not too much and not too little.

Xa Palo S is definitely worth a test and is, in my opinion, another jewel from the fragrance world that gets far too little attention here.
