The more marshmallow scents the better and more beautiful!:D
I think it's no secret anymore that I LOVED marshmallow scents!:D
The first marshmallow fragrance that always blows me away to this day is the Kilian Love Don't Be Shy...
I think I do not have to say so much about it except that every time I spray on or wear this paradise fragrance on cloud 7. float and because the whole day just happy and satisfied:))
The Princess is also a Divine and seductive marshmallow fragrance is but lighter and creamier as but also fluffier than the LDBS.
Dragee of Reminiscence is indeed an almond fragrance BUT although no marshmallow note is listed in the fragrance pyramid, I smell the hidden marshmallow note much more intense out like the almond note.
The dragee is also a beautiful and gorgeous marshmallow fragrance that goes very much in the direction of Kilian LDBS, but is not a dupe.
Giorgio Armani Si Fiori is also a beautiful and fluffy as well as very, very creamy and noble marshmallow fragrance that is accompanied by very feminine and gentle floral notes.
So why do I list all these treasures now?
To make it short, I know from many as well as from myself that, the Kilian Love Don't Be Shy is simply very expensive or does not fit into the budget....
I wanted to find a fragrance that also really just as convincing as but also almost 1zu1 like the LDBS smells.
And as always, this is a challenge for yourself to find a dupe that really smells like the beloved perfume which you can not afford or even want, or even worse if the fragrance is no longer produced / sold.
Clearly no fragrance smells 1zu1 like another but, this difference is hardly perceived by our fellow much more by ourselves or better said by us fragrance noses;D
However, the search has made fun (for me each fals:D) because I could discover on this fragrance journey more scent treasures for me. (I was mainly just looking for marshmallow scents)
I was found by a very, very dear and appreciated Parfuma namely the dear Elenasmom:))
If you read this many thanks again for the great recommendation:)
I got a hint that, the Classique Pin-Up of JPG is a good dupe (if I may call it so) or at least a very good alternative to Kilian LDBS.
Admittedly, in the beginning I was very, very unsure whether this fragrance would appeal to me because I have often read that the ginger note is presenter than all other fragrances.
The stupid thing about the whole thing, however, is the Classique Pin-Up is / was a limited perfume and I missed that ...
But I could then still get hold of a filling of it me so I can test it at least:))
Since I still have a good amount of filling of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy and now still have a nice filling of JPG Classique Pin-Up I can make a small comparison / write:))


I will now compare both to see if the Pin-Up is really a good dupe to the LDBS:))

The fragrance...

JPG Classique Pin-Up (top note): Starts with a very presenten ginger note that tingles at the beginning a bischen in the nose but at the same time for example in the morning can be very refreshing;))
The lemon note gives the fragrance a very fine freshness:)

Kilian Love Don't Be Shy (top note): Also starts with a refreshing orange blossom note that wonderfully brings a fine Juicy Nectar note with it*.*
The marshmallow note is not long in coming and presents itself already in the top note from the most beautiful side.

JPG Classique Pin-Up (heart note): And there finally came the hoped-for marshmallow note!*.*
Something I must say I am speechless! Soooo wonderfully creamy, fluffy discreetly creamy and milky at the same time.... The marshmallow note at Pin Up melts into the skin like the LDBS.
In LDBS, the marshmallow note is accompanied by a dark caramel note, Pin Up, however, is a pure marshmallow fragrance with LDBS DNA.
The orange blossom slowly but very gently approaches the marshmallow note which I personally like very, very much!*.*
Although no rose note is listed I mean a very gentle but equally velvety and delicate rose note to smell out BUT as already mentioned in the Pin Up is the marshmallow note most present and most intense to smell.

Kilian Love Don't Be Shy (heart+base note): Marshmallow, velvety roses paired with dark caramel note that brings a mysterious depth.
The orange blossom is still present and melds with every single note to create a magical and sensual progression like no other! Especially on my skin it is simply for me like a magic that touches my soul every time anew!*.*


JPG Classique Pin-Up (base note): Even there the marshmallow paradise on my skin can not be smelled away*.*
The vanilla I can also slowly hear but very delicate and powdery.
Vanilla powder is sprinkled over the marshmallow and next to the marshmallow mountain are placed fine but fragrant orange blossoms.... I can only say it is addictive and seduces downright!:D


I can only say one thing both are worthy to be included in any perfume collection!
Especially if you like it sweet especially if you have like me a great love for marshmallow scents.:))
And yes the Pin Up is a very good alternative to the LDBS especially if you like to save.
The H+S is very good especially on the clothes until the next day noticeable.
I just say I'm just happy to have discovered such a beautiful fragrance that gives me great pleasure every time I spray on but also seduces!;))

My new start fragrance:) Thanks Grandpa!
Shalimar I associate with the Christmas season, a warm / loving hug and the feeling to be safe:))
Why is that... Well last year I got to know this beauty:D
Since then, this fragrance has a very important but also precious place in my heart, because I got Shalimar last year from my grandfather as a gift and the 3.days before Weihanchten.
We have watched on this day together films (My grandfather loves good but also especially humor full films;)) )
Also we listened to the newest as well as some older Monsta X songs, in short I LOVE, LOVE this boygroup and he finds the music of Monsta X also (Luckily) very good as well as well made;DD
I could rave about this group forever, but it's about Shalimar and not Monsta X:D
Deliciously we also cooked together.
After watching movies, eating and listening to music, my grandfather suddenly became very serious and had tears in his eyes, which admittedly made me very insecure because my grandfather is a very emotional person but since we laughed together all day it was a bit of a shock to me when I saw tears in his eyes.
I asked him carefully if everything was okay, he said he was glad that I had survived all the operations well...
I knew he was always worried about me but not that it made him so emotional.
I hugged him and tried to hold back the tears because I didn't want him to cry anymore.... (I don't like it at all, now not in bad senses to see others crying as I then also get very emotional especially I can stand it less to see my grandfather or my mother crying.)
We calmed down and I said to him that there are worse situations or even interventions and I have come to terms with it and am satisfied that it gets better:))
Then he said he wanted to give me a certain gift a little longer but was not sure if I would tolerate it because of the medication
To be honest I would never have thought that it is a perfume but just as little I was aware of what sweetheart he meant.
I could tolerate after the operations by the strong painkillers almost a year no strong fragrances but thank God this lasted only until then, until I have discontinued the drugs
When my grandfather gave the box into my hands I was speechless! And again I had tears in the eyes and did not want to believe it because it was really an unexpected surprise and even before Christmas!
I pressed my grandfather very hard and thanked me 100 times with him:))
He said he was not sure if I would like it because, I have never worn such a fragrance in this direction
I was blissfully happy about this treasure and could not have imagined a more beautiful!:))



I am very, very well in the clear that such fragrances or better gifts are not self-evident but my grandfather said it was a gift or better said a fragrance that should always remind me that I can make with the fragrance a new start in a life which hopefully in the future no more operations needed!:))
And that is exactly why this fragrance has become so valuable but also important to me because it is my new start fragrance!:))


I try to describe Shalimar as accurately as possible, hopefully I do not disappoint the big Shalimar fans among you;)


The fragrance...
Is in any case very, very, very intense!
If you like it intense but not extreme (so I mean overdosed) then please do not wear more than 2.Sprüher on otherwise it can lead very quickly to headaches!
I speak from experience!
Shalimar is from the head to the heart note very balsamic and smoky with a slight citrus impact
Rose I smell now personally not out but jasmine gives the whole this wild, sensual and feminine;))
The vanilla of Guerlain is not of this world!
Whether now with Mon Guerlain (intense), La petite robe noir or even now with Shalimar it is a crowning glory in itself!
Creamy, dense, full-bodied, noble and what can I say indescribably beautiful!
The vanilla I smell out with Shalimar is not only creamy but also very spicy and aromatic.
It reminds me very much of a vanilla pastry with citrus filling and over it is sprinkled neat cinnamon.
Tonka bean gives the fragrance a light pleasant powdery warm note that invites you to cuddle.:)



I personally appreciate this fragrance very much it is my new start but also motivation fragrance!
Because I got it from the most important person because I have in my life next to my mother!:)) Thank you grandpa!:))
Appreciate your loved ones especially your grandparents and parents!

A true elixir of love!
Long, long I have now here on Parfumo nothing more written...
It is because I have it at the moment unfortunately very difficult especially because of my mother because she is not really stable health and I'm there 24/7 for them, so I just did not come to write more...
I'm sorry if I have not answered questions or even messages more or also very scarce...
I try to come now in the future anyway more to it, because it is not my kind on messages or questions not to answer...
Please don't be mad at me;(...


(Ahead: I have written here already times a text to the Kenzo Flower L'Elixir, but am not satisfied with it since it was very short but also inaccurate, what the fragrance description goes to and I personally do not like!)
Let's get to the real topic namely perfume:))
Although I was here no longer so active / am I still if, I had the time to neat fragrances / bottlings tested:))
The Kenzo L'Elixir should be unfortunately as far as I have noticed that unfortunately taken out of the range or it was already taken out of the range.... BAD!
Question. WHY ARE ALWAYS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL fragrances taken out of the range!!!?;((((((
And that's exactly why I wanted to give this magical but also beautiful fragrance a fair but also worthy text/review:)))
Because I am since a month like enchanted but also just in love with this fragrance...
It is every time a true fragrance experience like no other for me!:)


Short tip from me to you;))
Are you looking for a noble, adult but also extremely sensual gourmand fragrance that does not smell like vanilla pudding then Kenzo Flower L'Elixir is the best choice!


I'll start with my favorite part namely the fragrance description!:DD

The fragrance.....
Starts sooo beautiful with a sweet, juicy but also wicked raspberry note, the tangerine note dampens the sweetness a bit down and gives the whole a very gentle freshness.
And no it's not a synthetic, sticky raspberry note!!! Let yourself be convinced;))
What I find so interesting in this fragrance or better said scent progression, I can smell out every single note so beautiful and accurate.
Normallerweise it can be very exhausting and penetrating with the time but with this one not at all!
It's all so harmonious and beautifully balanced that this makes me every time in a new way amazed!
The rose note is so beautiful velvety and discreetly powdery on my skin which I personally like very much because it gives the fragrance this sensual powdery:)) I like that very well!;D
The praline note is soooooo well done!*.* So creamy and classy with a light raspberry cream filling and over that comes a nice rich dark wicked caramel cream.....
The vanilla note is so warm, sensual and cuddly at the same time especially it harmonizes so beautifully with the rose note:))
You can imagine a plate with noble raspberry cream chocolates and showered the whole thing with rose petals so wonderful and noble Suften*.*
What more could you want as a sweet nose?;))
Pure seduction for both woman and for the man;D


Personally, I think it is a really beautiful / successful but at the same time very high quality smelling gourmand fragrance!
I think it goes very much in the direction of Prada Candy BUT it is not a dupe!
Only the fragrance DNA reminds me very especially when spraying on the Candy.
The H+S is very, very good! With me it keeps on the skin until the next day on the clothes anyway for days.
Pure Love!:D

A rose & locum paradise like no other!
I am now completely honest! Never really yet NEVER could me a rose fragrance sooo umhauen and still at the same time soooo strongly inspire like Roses Musk!
Actually Roses Musk was never on my radar!
Until recently, because for a long time my mom had a muster of it with her in her closet.
She had a doctor's appointment and couldn't decide what scent to wear and there she was clamoring for this hidden treasure.
When she sprayed it on she was surprised because she didn't expect it to smell sweet because she usually prefers fresh/clean/soapy rose scents
Roses Musk however smelled very sweet but still fresh at the same time and she liked it surprisingly weisse very, very well:D
At her appointment she got a lot of compliments about her scent from the doctor as well as from the other doctors, she didn't expect this but was very happy about the compliments :)) Sweet!:D
When she came back home from her appointment, I asked her if I could borrow the muster because I was very curious.
To be honest I did NOT expect at all that I was literally speechless or still am and could not take my nose from my wrist...*.*
For me it is a magical fragrance! A rose fragrance like no other!
I know only the usual boring and trivial rose scents...
Fragrances that you forget immediately or better said one is yawning!
But Roses Musk somehow does not let me go at all.... It haunts me!:D
It is sweet but also fresh at the same time but not this watered down or soapy fresh, much more rather airy I would say.


Now I start with the magic part ;) Namely the scent description:)))


The fragrance...
Starts with a very sensual but also sweet rose note an.
Also, I would like to emphasize that Roses Musk (the name says it all) is a pure rose fragrance!
Even if you are perhaps no rose fragrance fan I recommend you nevertheless this treasure here to test especially if you are like me rather one/e Gourmand nose;))
The rose note remains sweet and the whole fragrance course over!
Also already as mentioned, the rose note has a fresh note but an airy and pleasant fresh note.
The jasmine is very sensual and almost erotic!
The gives the whole again a very feminine aura.
Amber lets the fragrance fade warmly, musk on the other hand is very pleasant and airy on my skin.
Something does not let me go with this fragrance.... Every time no matter whether now on the skin or clothes I smell a hidden Lokum note but a very gentle Lokum note no extremely intensive Lokum note as with the Love don't be shy of Kilian.
Also my grandfather could smell this light Lokum note on my skin, he likes this scent as well as me and my mother. ( Rarely pleases us all denn same fragrance, very rare!)
For my nose now personally Roses Musk has a slight Candy/Lokum note where that comes from I do not know now so exactly but I just LOVE it exactly as the fragrance is!:))
The H+S is extremely good! On the skin it holds the whole day on the clothes still two good days!
I can only recommend this fragrance!
It is as has been mentioned 100 times now is not a typical known rose fragrance, it is a very feminine and yes almost erotic rose fragrance in my opinion!
Cheap or synthetic this fragrance is not!
It smells for the noses in my environment very high-quality and addictive;))

I think you can wear Roses Musk well all year round:))
I can also imagine this fragrance very well for a wedding:)
I can only say one thing and that is I am in love!:D

Cafe Intense or Saffron Intense?
Excitedly I expected yesterday with my grandfather our ordered bottlings:D
Most of the bottlings were from Montale.... I already knew before the order some Montale fragrances thus also the Intense Cafe;)
Only I must reluctantly admit really captivated or in the back of my mind remained this fragrance not really...
And no not because it smells bad but because it had already reminded me when spraying on immediately Black Opium.
My grandfather, however, could not forget this fragrance and has therefore equal to the order of Montale Müsterchen also treated to the bottle of it:D At an unbeatable price;)
Also my mother could inspire for Montale in particular for the Roses Musk:)
I, on the other hand, thought the scents were nice in themselves but most of them smelled like deodorants to me...
Now comes the best as my grandfather the Intense Cafe with great joy aufprühte I immediately smelled a very familiar but also much loved fragrance of me which enchants me until now...
And no not the Black Opium but the Michael Kors Starlight Shimmer....
I was speechless not only because I didn't expect this but because it was like a surprise for me at that moment....
And you can now also think that I also wanted to spray it on my skin just to see if it also develops so on my skin....



I have decided to describe the scent on the skin of my grandfather but also on mine;))
I can tell you it's again a super exciting for me to smell/realize how each scent can smell different on each different skin!



The scent progression on my grandfather's skin...
Already with the first spray a very dominant rose note was to be smelled which is accompanied by dull dark coffee.
The dear gentlemen can breathe a sigh of relief it is not a feminine or even soapy rose note much more (in my imagination) a black but also deep rose note.
The coffee note is very dull on the skin of my grandfather.
What surprised me it is not at any minute milky nor aromatic!
One can say bitter coffee purely!
You can tell me what you want but I smell a very presente saffron note on the skin of my grandfather and indeed the same saffron note as the Starlight Shimmer of Michael Kors...
The coffee note is only a good hour present on the skin of my grandfather then it is very quiet and cold I would say now but in a fine way and white
The rose as well as saffron note are getting louder and again in a very fine way and white.
Nothing disturbs, not bites or stings it is all very harmonious but still striking for its own environment.
My grandfather could smell this fragrance both on the skin as well as clothes because the whole day.



The fragrance on my skin...
Starts with me immediately with a cappuccino note, although what I love yes but I have missed the rose note the most...
The was only good 10min. on my skin smellable and unfortunately in a very pungent way and weisse...:(( Too bad!
The coffee note was from minute to minute milky and said goodbye after two good hours also from my skin.... Remaining on my skin vanilla aroma...
For an hour I thought the scent would be gone because I funny weisse nothing more smelled but then came a full blast saffron and I did not know whether I should be happy or this fragrance should wash off my wrist because the saffron note reminded me unfortunately not to my beloved Michael Kors Starlight Shimmer rather to the Cuir Cavalier of Parfums MDCI
My grandfather had once of it a Müsterchen ... And I can say that neither he nor I were thrilled by this fragrance because it is pure saffron what one smells...
The Intense Cafe is beautiful but also interesting, because it is a clear fragrance experience but I'm not sure if I would also buy it I think I would have to test it again in winter more closely.
H+S is very good on my skin on the clothes perfect. (10.hours)


My grandpa is incredibly happy with his new treasure in his collection and enjoys it every time and can only recommend it for gourmand noses;)))
