Chéri?
Short comment:

Starts on the skin as if patchouli and plum were coked together in the pot. Since someone loved his daughter but not very, I think to myself. A perfumer had told me, Ms. Goutal has dedicated this fragrance to her daughter Camille. After fifteen minutes, I return to the "spray room" and .... Yikes! What is that?! The room smells delicately of juicy fruity plum with a bit of earth attached. That pleases me then, nevertheless, better.

Over time, the two approach each other and result in a mixture for me, but then I can not do much with. It is at the end, as if one had pushed the pot yet in time from the hotplate. Iris, violets and heliotrope must have disappeared so quickly that I didn't even get a hint of them

Floral winter scent
I'll say it right away: "Tag-Her Prestige Edition really pleases me in its floral unexcitedness, a floral fragrance for the winter.

The heart note is present from the start to the gently fading end with me. Whether it is orchid..., I had not yet a fragrant orchid under the nose ... In any case, it is a flower.

It is gently - I'll call it darkly spicy - powdered by the cinnamon. This takes her the possibly existing radiance, but also the possibility soapy and or pungent rumzubiestern. What flowers in general yes both quite can.

Vanilla and sandalwood then some cream and sweetness and a slightly woody note to it. Whereby I have really recognized the woody note only once, I have to bring the nose at the right time in the direction of the wrist.

The shelf life is good to very good, up to 10 hours can be that already. The sillage is medium strong. It starts with an 8 or 9 and then settles at a good 5 to 6. Say, you probably have to stand right next to me to perceive the fragrance, which currently happens not so often.

I think this is a successful winter-floral fragrance: flowery and warming

Green vanilla
Veridia starts juicy-fruity. Only after the 2nd time spray I come on fig. Surprisingly, that works for me. It's backed by a soft creamy vanilla from the start. Over time, the juicy fruity note fades and the vanilla takes on slight resinous hints, which in turn slowly turns into a nutty note. At first I think of green almond as in Mandorlo di Sicilia, but then I clearly and repeatedly smell pistachio. The vanilla is always there. Veridia then runs out woody and resinous.

The whole progression is gentle, unobtrusive and takes place hovering just above my skin. The sillage is thus low to medium. For this, the durability is all the better: 12 hours today.

Unlike the dear Sweetsmell75 I locate Veridia in the spring, because for me it is a fresh green that accompanies this vanilla

I'll start the Carosello '75 with... fermented celery. Well, unfortunately, I can not think of anything else. Or is there possibly a pomace brandy from celery or similar?

But it gets better: within 30 - 45 minutes, the scent turns into a beautiful light-golden incense scent, which I like extremely well and which stays with me for several hours.

At some point, an alcoholic note joins it again, which I can not quite classify. Either it is a cognac or (still?) a marc, she seems to have but in any case a fruity base. The lovely incense continues to resonate - toned down. Soft and warm it is on my skin.

Only the second time wearing, also shows after many hours a floral note (I guess rose) in conjunction with a light cream. C'75 runs out with me after about 7 - 8 hours with Ambersüße and a vanilla note.

Carosello '75 has triggered with me now so no associations that go beyond the pure fragrance sensations. Without having a fragrance pyramid available, it is but quite exciting, what one interprets there so everything in.

Nepalese incense stick and Swiss herbal candy
Some years ago I once had incense sticks, which according to the seller came directly from Nepal and were made there by hand. I immediately had to think of them when I sprayed on "Mane": smoky and resinous and above all a mixture of dried herbs unknown to me. When I inhale very deeply I sense something very dark green. Over the next 1 to 1.2 hours sweetness comes in. It could be honey, but it doesn't have to be. And gradually my association wanders from Nepalese incense to the well-known Swiss herbal candy: sweet, malty, herbs, spice, while a delicate smoky note is never completely lost.

"Mane" lasts hour after hour. I come to at least 24. Only after about 13 hours I also perceive a floral touch, rose I think.

But I can also relate to what my previous commenters describe: Wood, furniture polish, resin, smoke, leather, honey.

With everything, I don't feel the sillage of M is too strong.

Honestly? So right is not clear to me whether I like "Mane" or not. I still remember that the incense sticks came only twice to use, and then I got a ban. I myself was still undecided on what to make of those things. The herbal candies, on the other hand, I quite like
