Goldlocke

I had bought this fragrance, because I love the Nivea fragrance, but find the perfume of Nivea not nearly as beautiful as the cream fragrance. The fragrance notes and reviews sounded great - so ordered and now extensively tested.
My conclusion: unfortunately not the sought Nivea cream fragrance, but rather that of a dry talcum powder. So the name of this perfume hits it perfectly. He should not be a cream fragrance at all, but a powder fragrance. The difference I would have made myself better aware once earlier.

For a more detailed description:
In the first wearing half, I smell definitely dusty-dry iris. Not pungent, but still dry, which is very close for my nose. Then over the next two hours, purely nothing develops. Just talcum iris in dry form. Yes, it smells like baby powder. The emphasis is on powder - dry, dusty. Not like a soft baby cream. So if that's what you're looking for, you'll find it here.

After about two hours, a subtle vanilla then comes through, which warms up the iris a little. The whole fragrance seems smoother overall. Still not creamy, but smooth. The odd orange and sometimes a squeeze of lemon also strays into my nose. It's getting more interesting. The perfume becomes more layered - the dusty dry iris is still dominant, but it's now accompanied by (very) subtle citrus and vanilla notes.

The Damszener rose comes with me unfortunately not at all to the appearance, no rose I do not smell even the next day. What is still there about 24 hours later is a dry dusty powdery iris scent. Now instead of vanilla with ylang ylang, which reminds me a bit of ylang in gold by Micallef because of the sweetness it brings. Of course, without the coconut notes, but the sweetness is strongly reminiscent.

The longevity is super good. Since you notice the quality. Projection also extraordinarily good. Who wants to smell clearly perceptible after "freshly powdered", which has what he is looking for in this pretty flacon.

Until the end pure talcum powder - so the perfume name hits it perfectly. Although unfortunately not my sought-after cream-powder fragrance, but a perfume that more than lives up to its description. For lovers of dry clean fragrances perfectly suitable.

My association with this scent: a stone-rich guy comes out of the Fitti freshly showered, casually smokes one, throws in a lemon-flavored Fisherman's Friend and then hugs me intimately.

To explain:
In the top notes, I notice the bergamot strong and spicy-minty, paired with a warm lemon. The two are so potent that I have to think of a freshly showered, still - by the muscle training - very hot man's body...
After a brief daydream with this freshly showered man, the smoky tobacco comes into its own. Not pungent-sharp like a fresh cigarette, but a slightly faded, softer tobacco note, earthy-warm through the tonka bean. The two give the fragrance strength and determination and that certain something that Ausstrahlt: This man knows what he wants!
Together with the minty top note so for me this hot muscular guy, who still smells something like cigarette tobacco and throws in a Fisherman's Friend.
Then after spending a few hours with said guy, the honey combines the citrus and tobacco notes into a warm, coherent package. So in my perception, the base notes come through earlier than the heart notes. Or was the heart note already there the entire time, making you feel safe and warm? I'll probably never know, the pretty, smoking Fisherman also has its secrets, it remains exciting with him throughout the day...

The association with the above-mentioned chewy candy is therefore in no way meant pejoratively, but from the beginning, the candy and the cigarette belong to the rich, well-trained man. Due to the carefully coordinated notes, in which none pushes itself into the foreground, but all have exactly the right potency and exactly the right time and to emerge, this fragrance simply smells of wealth, strength and class.


Small note: In my previous comment on Naxos (already deleted), I compared the notes to rape honey and stale smoke. The now-so-different experience with this scent resulted from a second bottling I got from a nice member here. The comment above refers to the definitely real Naxos. My first sample, on the other hand, actually came from a reputable perfume sampling site - so authenticity is presumed - but seems to be a version that needs a bit more time in the bottle to develop to its full beauty. I got this thesis from corresponding discussion here in the forum. So if you are wondering why your own sample of Naxos or the newly purchased flacon does not smell so citrus-fresh-flushed-warm-earthy, but rather pungent-heavy-pappy, you probably just have to be patient a little longer and give Naxos the cold shoulder first.

Had ordered this fragrance to prefeel whether I should get "Lira" by Xerjoff. The price difference is already significant - I thought it was a good idea.
It is indeed also a dupe to Lira, but nowhere near as finely tuned and round. One notices just yet that one has saved...on the whole, however, he acts like Lira.
Now comes but for me the big hook:
I get a headache from it. And I've never had that with a fragrance! Also otherwise I have maybe 1, 2 times in the year headache and am also not weather-sensitive, but the here triggers that within few minutes with me.
At first I thought I was going to be sick. Then I realized I get a headache whenever I wear this scent.
Mega pity!
I hope I can maybe give a headache candidate or two a heads up.
Who has no problem in this regard, for the fragrance is a great - cheaper - version of Lira.

This fragrance was worn by a female guest at a house party I was at. Immediately upon entering the house I thought to myself: hmm what smells so exceptionally good here, so different, so distinctive and yet soft, so luxurious? The scent enveloped me for quite some time, filling all the rooms and captivating me.
At first, I suspected a room scent that was sitting there in the corner. But then the young lady was very close to me and was approached by another party guest about her perfume - jackpot! Of course, being a perfume junkie, I perked up my ears and she said it was Molecule 01.
"Definitely bookmark it!", I thought to myself, you HAVE to have this one too! So feminine and masculine at the same time, so salty yet sweet, that's exactly the kind of statement I was looking for.
In the course of the evening came but first doubts:
What fascinated me so much at the beginning - this omnipresence - I found with time disturbing and almost intrusive. He became sweeter and heavier - for my taste he then no longer fit this delicate, delicate, blond young lady who wore it.
And yet it has remained in my memory as a great statement fragrance.

On the test strip I recognized him immediately, on my skin but not yet tested. Maybe he develops differently there.
BUT whenever I have perceived this Molecule fragrance since this party, whether in the suburban train, in a department store or on a work colleague in the office, I have identified it immediately as Molecule 01. He smells despite the promise to develop differently with everyone, to my sensation with everyone the same.
That's why I still hesitate to test it myself, simply for fear that it could also become so heavy and intrusive with me.
But maybe I should just be brave and dare a sprayer...

I don't understand the hype.
Full of anticipation due to exclusively positive reviews here and also on Youtube I have tested him on the wrist and must unfortunately say, which is not at all mine!
To be honest I can not understand why he is such a crowd-pleaser - he is to my sensation just 100kg heavy, sweet-pappy and intrusive.
It takes my breath away since the first spray. I would even say he is so heavy that he even depresses my mood and pulls my mood really down, I even become almost sad from this fragrance.

Lordy, now I've only written negative things and I'm sorry for that too. I just don't understand why so many people like it so incredibly much, when there is nothing endearing-soft about it at all, it just slays me and keeps me tied to the floor.
I'm probably the only one who feels this way.
Wear it further if you like it, but then please stay (especially in small rooms, in the subway or in elevators) very far away from me!
