*This is what outer space smells like*
The abandoned space station that was once built at the north pole of Ganymede - Jupiter's moon - floats lonely through space. No human has visited it in decades. It's too far a way back after humans crossed the borders of the solar system. Now the space station orbits Jupiter alone. To withstand the extreme weather on the icy moon, it has been built of hard stainless steel. The moon's iron core had provided enough resources to build the main hub from which humanity had ventured into the far reaches of the wave valley. Now an ice storm had been raging on the surface for a decade. The windows of the station have given way to the weather over the years. The wind alone still sweeps through the abandoned corridors. It carries with it a metallic smell, given off by the constant abrasion of the steel walls. Added to this is the incomparable smell of nothingness, as it only exists in the vast vacuum of space. If you take off the helmet of the space suit, it is the last thing you can smell before the remaining oxygen escapes from your lungs into the vastness of space.

- Oh Ganymede, what are you incomparable -

Hard to describe is this unique fragrance. He forms a light floral, berry, metallic accord. But he is not tangible. So must smell the universe, or maybe the air on earth, if you could smell it.

Ganymede is the largest moon of the solar system (thanks Wikipedia). Accordingly, the durability and sillage are also befitting the status. The fragrance is immediately present and does not change in the 10h, which he holds on my skin.

In my opinion, can be used for any occasion. One will stand out, but not aggressively, but the environment will rather wonder: "What do I actually smell there? Is that..., that can't be, ... yet it must be my counterpart." And then the conclusion can actually only be: "What an interesting and mysterious person he*s."

Unisex should fit. I would love to smell it on a woman. I imagine it would be fantastic. Probably the mainstream nose will scream more masculine, though.

Test the fragrance by all means and let me know what you think! :)

Best regards

Coniferous forest at the edge of the field
I walk along a narrow trail at the edge of the field, hemmed in by the lush ears of corn plants on the right and the low-hanging, heavy fir branches on the left. The ground is covered with roots and scattered grasses. The earth is scrawny and full of cracks. Small clouds of dust swirl up with each step, drying out the air. The warm late summer sun is over the field, but only just peeking over the treetops. It makes the corn plants give off a grassy smell and ensures that the spruce cones in the conifer forest are closed. The firs brave the dry air and weigh it down with a rich green scent of needles. The beechnuts that have fallen in the meantime from the beech trees - which occasionally break through the coniferous forest - add a spicy note to the olfactory chord. In the distance, a lawn mower sounds and makes the late summer moment perfect.

______________

The scent smells like hay, grasses and fir to me. In addition, there are spicy chords, which probably come from cardamom and pepper. In the Auftrakt it is quite strong, isolated citrus notes break through the green signature. In the course, these fade away, leaving a dry, spicy-green note that lasts a long time.

The fragrance is very versatile for me, but especially recommended in everyday life (work / leisure). The durability is well above average, but not top-tier (with 8h you can expect).

One will inspire his environment. Hardly anyone (outside the Parfumo world) will know the fragrance. Ormonde Man is interesting, complex, but mainstream suitable. A successful composition.

I am curious about your opinions!

Winter sun / cedar-based sunscreen
Today was a wonderfully sunny winter day. It was -7 °C and the flattened and icy snow reflected the light of the last afternoon sun. I had gone out to get some daylight and exercise despite the Corona routine. I had sat down on a bench by a meadow in a new development in Hamburg and was now watching the children playing with sleds on the meadow. Their parents stood in small groups at the edge of the meadow and talked. I sat in between and enjoyed the hustle and bustle. On my ears I had the new song, which I had discovered the evening before and which produced a breath of spring in me. My thoughts were circling around the future and made me feel hopeful and happy. That's when the scent hit my nose. It crept past my scarf down my neck and enveloped my face in comforting warmth. It produced exactly what the semi-bright winter sun was trying to do to my cheeks. A rush of energy that turned to joy in my body. That was exactly what I needed, what I wanted and hoped for when I applied Sunshine Man before I left the house.

This (true) story hopefully shows the beauty of Sunshine Man to the extent that I intend it to. It is a special scent to me because it was one of the first sneeze scents I smelled. It smelled and smells mostly like sunscreen to me with a pleasant cedar note. Tested it first in the spring and then on and off over the summer. Today was now the right winter day to apply him again.

He develops on my skin quickly and also with the time hardly shows any change. The fragrance is a blast from the start and has an impressive silage. The durability is accordingly. One may almost see it as a shortcoming that the fragrance is so present, but for leisure and especially outdoors, this is not a problem for me. For me, the fragrance still lives on its almost powdery base notes of tonka bean, vanilla and cedar, but there remains this somewhat indefinable residue that makes it smell like sunscreen and has often evoked holiday associations in me as well as those around me. I suspect this effect is due to the composition of the base accords with the clary sage. In any case, the olfactory memory just screams of SUN CREAM, HOLIDAY and BEACH. The contrast between the playfully sweet vanilla/tonka bean and the heavier cedarwood makes the scent interesting and unique, as befits a sneeze scent and the price range.

I will continue to wear the scent especially on sunny days when I want to get my joyful mood out there. In fact, the fragrance is suitable in my opinion for all seasons, although it comes especially to the fore on sunny summer and winter days. In the summer, you should be very careful with the dosage and rather refill, if the fragrance should actually have evaporated because of the heat times (with me, however, he also holds there 8-24h). In winter, the sweetness of the fragrance is captured a little more, so that it is not so fast too penetrating.

All in all, a fragrance for special moments, for leisure and sunny days. Try him out and you will experience it for yourself.

Best Parfumo greetings!

Aventus in adult (and in interesting)
The fragrance is already strongly reminiscent of Aventus, especially in the opening, but definitely has its own justification. The top notes fade faster compared to Aventus and it remains the great core, which also thrilled me with Aventus. Green, woody, mossy; just interesting and unusual. However, the scent is less fresh and therefore not as youthful as Aventus (but I like to wear it even at 24). But the extraordinary is clearly more in focus and lifts the fragrance for me on a higher level than its known relative. If you want to smell extraordinary and interesting and you already liked the way Aventus smells, you should definitely try Orion. If you don't know Aventus but like said green, woody and mossy notes, you should try it even more.

Warm aura
A great fragrance. He smells creamy warm for me. Perfect for the cooler seasons, but can also be worn in spring / summer.

The prelude is quite fresh and somewhat peppery for me. From the beginning, however, already shows the warm, somewhat woody amber base note, from which the fragrance lives in my opinion. Grapefruit (as described above) I can not make out, the citrusy orange-like note of bergamot can be made out, even if it is not to be perceived in isolation, but combines with the warm core.

Already after 2 minutes, the scent changes on my skin. The peppery and fresh notes largely fade away. What remains is the delightfully creamy core. It smells of spicy woods (especially subtle cedar) and amber. For about 1-2 hours, there also remains something floral, which is probably due to the rose from the heart note. Also this stands out for me but not clearly as a rose (I'm not a fan of rose fragrances), but combines with the warm notes.

After 2 hours remains largely only the base over, which does the fragrance but not bad, because it lives on. What remains is so wonderful that it can only give the highest mark (10 points) for me. The fragrance is so elegant in its abra-woody way that it could easily be rated as unisex. So despite its nature, it is also by no means gloomy or too dark. In autumn / winter, I also associate the woody notes with the typical advent spices, which is perhaps due to the bergamot combined with cedar, gujac wood and patchouli (very subtly, mind you). Overall, dominate for me amber and cedar.

Well, if there is a shortcoming, it should be in the durability. The fragrance lasts with me 6 hours strongly perceptible (3 sprays). After that remains on my skin only a skin-perceptible base, which is still pleasant, but no longer clearly identifiable. On clothing, however, the fragrance also holds up to two days.

Who is looking for a strong sillage, is here in the wrong place. Within the first 90 minutes, the scent is indeed still somewhat more prominent and can also reach into the room. After that, he remains but rather in the vicinity, although not just skin deep. The sillage, which is quite decent with this, is not a drawback for me though. It rather underlines the elegance of the fragrance and forms a pleasantly warm, spicy aura that invites you to come closer.

I like to wear the fragrance in the (evening) everyday life. He is eg great for dates and provides gladly for compliments. Also for (stylish) evening occasions, he is well suited for me. For me, the fragrance tends to be too bad for work, even if it is not a no-go (keywords: elegant and discreet). For this he has me too little freshness and is too cozy.

In the warm seasons, the fragrance should tend to go down even a little faster, but can still be worn well for evening sitting together. In autumn / winter fits the fragrance as said perfectly.

Who has not yet tested the fragrance and sees himself with a warm, woody-spicy aura, this should urgently catch up. Currently definitely my favorite fragrance (although not for every occasion).

Have fun testing and VG!
