How dare you?!
Okay I will write a comment now anyway, although I have already written a statement.

Why is that?
Well... at the Sillage.
I already hold the arm away from me and all I smell is Naxos!
Honey, bergamot, tonka bean.
Luckily it smells good, otherwise my despair would be great.
Because I have the feeling that Naxos would vehemently resist if I tried to wash him off...

But I don't want to wash it off
No, actually the sadistic thought of wearing Naxos on a hot summer day comes to my mind.
Hahahahah.
Your Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh can pack ;)
eau so pity ;( now you can only smell Naxos!

And people will wonder what they smell. Is it an extravagant beekeeper who has doused himself with Le Male (see tonka bean) and will now hunt the bees on us?

Is this still art or already public nuisance?
Is anyone at all annoyed when this smell is in the air? Questions upon questions
Personally, I think Naxos is pretty cool...

Still to clarify the title:
"What do you think you're doing?!
You think you're better than me?"
The Xerjoff-bearer lowers his gaze to the strange figure and answers modestly as he is: "But no, I don't think I am better, I am better"

Side note:
Whether the wearer really thinks that or only Naxos speaks out of him is not clearly recognizable.

Sandalwood and the fragrance is complete.
As the title suggests, this fragrance contains sandalwood.
Although I don't really like sandalwood, I had to give him a chance
Besides, this is now my first fragrance from Fragrance du Bois.

Would divide the scent like this:
80% sandalwood
10% coconut shell
10%Musk

Amber and vanilla are too short for my taste. But you can recognize both of them.
Even pepper can be sniffed.
But I don't smell lemon at all.
The scent is woody-sweet and quite heavy.
Therefore not suitable for everyday life, but rather for the evening.
And rather in autumn/winter than in spring/summer.
To me the fragrance is like a mature wine, very powerful in taste and probably something for more mature ladies/men.

Reminds me strongly of a certain fragrance, which also contains a lot of sandalwood, but whose name just doesn't occur to me.
If I think of it I will add it here:_______

Sillage and shelf life are very good.

Now finally a small picture, because this often helps (although the scent is unisex, here related to a woman)
So what does the woman who wears Santal Complet look like?
She is wearing an expensive dress, possibly in "vintage style" (50s) made of velvet.
She wears gold ball earrings.
A black handbag
She wears red lipstick and approaches her fellow men with self-confidence and may give them a nasty twinge. She overlooks this.
She knows what she can do and has a lot of life experience. She lives it up, goes to the opera, to the theatre with her husband or alone.
She is also talented as an author and lets the reader participate in her sensitive nature, which is often overlooked because of her self-confident appearance.

But before I go too far I would like to give you a short personal conclusion:
I can't identify with the scent, which may be due to my aversion to sandalwood, but I appreciate the scent anyway, if only for the fact that I get a clear picture and that it is also qualitatively satisfying.
Lovers of sandalwood will therefore certainly like it ;)

Memories of summer evenings
A*Man in better. The resemblance is amazing.
Whereby there should be no patchouli in here.
Anyway, my ex-boyfriend used to wear A*Man
And when I smelled Intoxicated, it was like this
Test 1: Wow what a great smell
It's magical, complex, simply ingenious.

Test two: Wait a minute... why does he smell like my ex-boyfriend Totally. I can't get that thought out of my head!
This can't be happening. He only ever wore that one fragrance...
(Here's an idea)
I'm going on perfume, check the list: Scent twins and:
This can't be! It says A*Man.
No Intoxicated is A*Man! Or?

How come I didn't see it the first time?
Although I now forever when I smell this scent my ex-boyfriend before me, I must say: Ingenious scent.
Is among the top 5 of my favorite kiliilians.

Spicy-sweet is right. Cardamom!
Ideal for the day/evening. Always goes.
Would also be an ideal signature scent

What else I would like to say:
You can smell the quality differences to A*Man definitively.
The shelf life of both products is very long.
I will definitely wear it anyway, although I have a non-erasable picture in my head now :D
But you better make your own picture
Maybe I only like the scent because it evokes positive memories ;D
Sometimes it's so...

Between frangipani and magnolias: idleness in the castle garden.
Whoever honours Prada La Femme, for him the spring edition is also worth a test ;)

Because besides frangipani, flowery components, as well as tangerine can be discovered, which give the fragrance a fresh and fruity character.
Whereby the basis is very similar to the original: elegant cleanliness, white dress, freshly showered, expensive smelling. Flower soap in a porcelain bowl.
Like Prada La Femme, this one is also suitable for everyday/outdoor use

Head and heart have been expanded in terms of fragrance (see above).

Season: Spring-Summer.
But rather at 23 instead of 30 degrees.

Even Water Splash, although the name may not suggest it, smells very noble, well-groomed and simply beautiful.

When I smelled Prada La Femme a few years ago, I was blown away
This is not a perfume I thought, this is a lifestyle that exudes nothing but luxury and high quality without even trying.
Prada la femme speaks for itself.
I am thinking of a young lady, who is exclusively dressed in fine clothes without appearing overdressed.
Never arrogant, but just naturally self-confident.
Intellectually, she is as attractive as her appearance.
You could think she doesn't wear a fragrance, she is the fragrance itself, because it simply fits, because the fragrance lies on the skin like silk.

In "Water Splash" this DNA is also present, but to return to the image of the lady, here it is as if she is walking through her large castle garden, between magnolias and frangipani, the water of a fountain in the background splashing and the midday sun hitting the glass roof of the white pavilion.

Was that too much of a stretch now?
Well, it's just that Prada La Femme and this variation here fascinate me so much because they don't smell like a perfume, but like the natural scent of the wearer herself. You know what that is?

Who plucked the petals?
After my sharing I now comment on this interesting fragrance (had never tested it before)
I was a little disappointed with the first spray test. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't what I expected
But now it is like this:
The more I wear it, the more I like it
I didn't like Soleil Blanc that much
Couldn't get the image of sun milk out of his head with this one.

Soleil Neige is different.
After a fairly fresh start (see bergamot) the three main components unfold:
Jasmine, rose and orange blossom.
Beautiful, although I usually don't tolerate jasmine very well
But here, I like it.
The fragrance is floral-creamy as the description suggests.
It fits perfectly, looks very elegant.
Occasionally I have to think of an expensive hand cream that smells of fresh flowers.
Durability and sillage are moderate.
Anyway, I'm glad I dared to do it, although I have to admit that especially the bottle in white attracted me

But let's get to the end.
In the base I still perceive musk and vanilla. All in all this Soleil Neige looks very high quality, but unfortunately it does not smell like snow :D
But I would have been interested in a smell like that.
