Gelis

But it took a while... until "Eau de Coton / Eau Secrète | Guerlain" really showed itself to me.

No sooner had I written my statement, submitted my review, etc., than I had a creamy, orange-infused fragrance in my nose. I could have sworn it was grinning at me. And a few hours later, I had a subtle but spicy woody note on my skin.

To summarize, "Eau de Coton" is now for me a creamy fragrance that starts with fresh orange and ends with a spicy woody note. The cream is overlaid by the orange note for as long as it lasts.

The sillage is medium, and the lasting power is medium to long when I run my nose directly over the sprayed skin.

Drawback: the orange cleaner note already mentioned in the statement remains in the top note for around half an hour.

D. starts with me heavy, floral-creamy and oppressive. I spontaneously feel reminded of a Penhaligon fragrance.... But after about 15 minutes, the orange creeps up and also drags its peel behind it, bringing a turpentine association. After a while, it all blends and gives a sweet fruity-floral creamy scent mi a slight tartness of orange peel. At some point, it all blends into a fruity-floral and creamy fragrance.

On the second day, the orange dominates: fresh, fruity with a certain sweetness. This flies up again and again and holds so the whole day. Only later, when I sniff times with my nose above the wrist, I notice that the flower cream has docked there. The shell I now no longer perceive at all.

The test course shows me that my nose already on the 2nd day the fragrance sorted differently than the first spray.

H/S: I can perceive the fragrance throughout the day. I do not pull a fragrance cloud behind me, but yet he is always present. The charisma is close to the person.

I like #Dilmun well.

Preliminary, my sample is older, and there are "only" a couple drops left.

I think the age of my sample is responsible for the fact that I can't detect any of the top notes. Shem-el-Nessim starts. Ei me with florals that have to fight their way through a darkly spicy, slightly musty blanket. Leather? comes to mind. The florals are really struggling. Then a scent of dark chocolate slowly develops creamy light spicy floral. It seems someone has pushed aside the "leather" cover. At the end then joins a powdery note to it.

Here is then times a fragrance that turns from rather dark to rather light. From heavy and light fragrance I do not like to speak, that somehow does not fit. Durability and sillage move on my skin then also in the middle range.

This is now my third Aire de Sevilla and one noticeable difference is the sillage. "Woman" is more noticeable than Solo Tú and Rosas Blancas. Thus Woman is but still far from a Wummser.

"Aire de Sevilla Woman" is a fruity-floral fragrance with a little vanilla sweetness. To start greet me tangerine and orange blossom and spread with me good mood. As it progresses, it becomes diffusely fruity-floral for me. That is, I can not distinguish the fragrance notes, especially lavender, on which I was particularly curious, I do not notice at all. From the base, the aforementioned vanilla sweetness reaches me at some point. But it remains in the background. And still some time later, the cedar adds a woody touch.

I would like to see the base a little more involved, in the hope that a little more spice would come to the fragrance. Because this long time then almost unchanged fruity-floral fragrance actually goes to me at some point a bit on the nerves, I wish me then a change here.

Aire de Sevilla - Rosas Blancas made me curious about these EdTs. During my internet search, I came across the Perfumes Club (www.parfumsclub.de), which has some of the series in its inventory. I can say up front that Solo Tú, like Rosas Blancas, is on the lower end when it comes to sillage. It's more of a whiff of fragrance. But that is not necessarily a reason for me to find a fragrance bad or to evaluate.

Solo Tú starts off for me with the base, which I experience as caramelized and flavored coffee. It doesn't get too sweet in the process, thankfully. Gradually floats over this base then a floral-fruity note. In this, I couldn't tell the heart or top notes apart. It's a touch that I virtually forget shortly after spraying it on, but which brings itself to mind every now and then by "flying up". After about two hours, the floral notes assert themselves on my skin and only a hint of spice is still to be found.

I'm pleased to say that Solo Tú doesn't come across as synthetic at any point. If it weren't so light, it would probably be too much for me. Anyway, I tend more and more to the less flashy fragrances.

The price is just under € 10.00 for 150 ml (plus shipping) in the "drugstore fragrance range". You can, if you think about the cost, cheerfully re-spray several times a day.
