The perfect accessory
Gentle Fluidity Gold is for me like my dearest necklace
Very delicate and subtle it nestles on my neck and three small diamonds glitter in the light.
It is luxurious, yet it fits every occasion. In everyday life it is my special companion and when I go out my elegant accessory.
No pompous thing that immediately sticks out in the eye. This chain brings out the special in the wearer, not vice versa.
If I do want to be a little extra my necklace goes with almost anything, then it's layered :)

The fragrance is one of the most beautiful vanilla perfumes I know. I feel immediately secure in warm woods with some spice from coriander seed, nutmeg and juniper berry. The vanilla is there from the beginning and stays until the end.

Without great spectacle this fragrance envelops its wearer, sillage present but rather subtle. Lasts a good 6 hours, on clothes significantly longer.
Is also very good for layering :)

Although at first smell "simple" I find this fragrance as extremely successful of the master FK.
Also, the idea to create two completely different fragrances with the same notes with GF Silver is simply ingenious.

overripe peach
It's a warm spring day, I'm sitting in a white flower garden with my white summer dress on and I bite into an overripe peach.
The juice oozes out and runs down my face onto my white dress.
In shock, I take a drag from a cigarette...

That, at any rate, is my headcanon or association of this scent (:

Good Girl Gone Bad (GGGB) is received yes very differently, hence the extremely different reviews. I always find that very interesting!

Peach note is not listed, apparently the impression comes from the osmanthus but is clearly present for my nose. Otherwise a nice composition with white florals rounded out with some depth and animalicness.
GGGB is mainly well-behaved and plays in my opinion rather subtly with the wicked and bad girls.

Durability and sillage I feel very weather dependent. If it is very cold rather weak, the fragrance needs some warmth, but can imagine that it could be too much of a good thing in high summer.

Properly dosed GGGB is for me a beautiful and special everyday companion with which I feel very comfortable. In addition, he also has something unique that one does not smell at every corner, white flowers should one but already like.
Big minus is the price, I would probably not buy GGGB at the original price. I got hold of a great promotional price. If you can do without the beautiful bottle and buy the refill at the promotional price is the price justifiable...

FunFact: Allegedly GGGB is the most sold Kilian perfume with the Arab men, so dear men try worthwhile maybe ;)

Rosewood - the better Oud Satin Mood?
Rosewood... sooo goood :)
For all who read this comment: be warned I fear it will be a bit longer ;)

I tested Rosewood for the first time during a stay in New York in an Arabian Oud boutique.
I was blown away!
Such a soft, delicate fragrance at the same time, you can clearly feel the oud note (which is present in the top note and always resonates nicely until the end) and the durability is also enormous, has really impressed me very much! Madagascar vanilla that is slightly smoky, definitely not a cheap drugstore vanilla with a subliminal musk and rose - I am in fragrance heaven!
I try not to make impulse purchases, so I didn't strike immediately and I knew that there were still several shops and boutiques waiting for me ^^
It was paradise, my husband was extremely patient and went everywhere with me - I think he even liked it a little bit...
We were at Penhaligons and of course Bergdorf Goodman could not be missing. But in the end I flew home without new perfume! None that I wanted to afford laughed at me that hard. It was great to test everything, so I thought I would get that at home too.

But Rosewood didn't let go of me, I couldn't stop thinking about that fine fragrance. It is not mega unique but I have never met anything comparable.
Until I tested oud Satin mood the other day. Wow, it's really pure at the beginning, extremely animalistic and just too much for me, but after 4-5 hours it develops in a similar way. There is no rose listed in Rosewood but I am pretty sure it is available.
For me rosewood is the more portable (and better) Oud Satin Mood. The great comment from Eyris before me also compares these 2 fragrances.

So now it was clear, I must have it - also as a reminder, as it looks like USA travel will not be possible as soon as possible...

I know this perfume is very hard to get if you want to test it, but if you have the opportunity please do!
In my opinion this fragrance gets far too little attention, it is worth every cent. I bought it online from the Emirates 100ml 105€

Listed as unisex, I find it rather feminine but I can imagine that men can also smell fantastic with it :)
The scent is very sexy but I don't find it intrusive - looking forward to wearing it in autumn/winter

Walk in Schönbrunn
Delina, so much has been said about you. As with many other perfumes there are extremely different views, I am always very surprised how differently you can perceive fragrances!

Finally I have it with me, I didn't give in to the hype quickly but quite often my way has brought me past my perfumery (thank God I have the possibility to test it nearby). After about half a year, she has now moved in with me.

I was in love at the first sniff, somehow the smell is hard to describe. The beginning is "tart" (there is no good German word for it) safely through the rhubarb and lychee notes. But they are immediately accompanied by a sweetness and the rose follows very quickly. I'm always a bit sceptical about roses, generally with too many flowers but this one is wonderfully balanced with the top notes and in the drydown with vanilla, musk, I recognize a bit oud?

Yes, the scent is sweet, for me it fits well even for summer as the opening is almost fresh and never drifts into a headache or oppressive sweetness.

I would like to share with you the comment of my husband, who hit the nail on the head. He is not so much interested in perfumes but has a great nose. Sometimes you have to literally pull his opinion out of his nose :)
He actually doesn't like very sweet scents and not much flowery ones either, so I was very curious what he would say to Delina:
First: "fresh fruity flowery"
Then: "like a walk through a palace park - yes, exactly like a walk through Schönbrunn" (note: we live in Vienna)

A great picture * great to the point !

Delina is also suitable for almost every occasion but I will keep her for special days

Pure nostalgia, a classic!
Colonia Essenza was a blind purchase for my husband, he wanted an everyday scent that not everyone has and now he's leaving for the summer. After a little research we came to Acqua di Parma, there we already tested some fragrances that we liked very much and online we found really good offers.

Finally the day came, we were both very excited! After the first sprayer I immediately had a flashback to my grandpa!!! Don't get it wrong, in the best way, to be wonderfully reminded of my grandpa, who passed away almost exactly 20 years ago! Unbelievable how scents can be memorized and immediately bring back memories.
The fragrance then also develops very quickly in another direction but the opening notes were nostalgia pure.
My husband - who liked the scent very much - was immediately insecure, he does not want to smell like a grandfather :) It was only the first few seconds and we know that Aqua di Parma makes classic scents and is the origin of Colonia 1918. So it fits together very well.

I immediately inquired about my grandpa's fragrance, it was Tabac Original and indeed, the top notes are very similar with neroli, citrus notes and petitgrain!
Afterwards Aqua di Parma Essenza becomes creamy and stays fresh the whole time. I don't want to scare anybody away by my association, it doesn't seem old-fashioned to me, but rather classic, or the original reinterpreted.

Conclusion: I love this scent! It's a classic Not necessarily suitable for people who always want the latest or the latest trend.
I am happy to be reminded of my grandpa and my husband has got used to it by now and enjoys his new classic everyday scent :)
