A new masterpiece that my nose was allowed to sniff today. I must honestly say that the fragrances of the house Atelier Cologne have surprised me so far all positive.
The few that I was allowed to test, have a prominent fragrance profile. Here you learn what niche is.
Café Tuberosa also made me wonder.
First, you have to pay your respects to the house. Tuberose and coffee is not exactly a common combination. Even less I could imagine that my nose would probably get. But the fragrance came unexpectedly playful. The heart note is outstandingly well done and develops after a short and tangy beginning (to be honest, I take the head as good as not at all) to a real experience:
Somewhere on Lake Constance, Switzerland, 17:30, the sun is about to set, it's 20 degrees
An espresso, strong aroma, more sour than bitter and with an exotic touch
The crema on it has the typical zebra pattern that characterizes good espresso.
Next to it a glass of still water, in which a few leaves of a peach-colored rose float.
Accompanied by Sachertorte, as beautiful as you know it from baking books
A married couple, they know each other and they love each other - and they love Sachertorte
They also know the café where they sit - they met here- the first time


Café Tuberosa is all that - floral, powdery, creamy, sweet
A perfume with a playful and romantic twist

The tuberose is now in itself here not special, you know it - love it or hate it. Chewing gum-like she is here anyway-not that would be anything but appropriate here. I can also literally see coffee and patchouli before my eyes. So I know it from the house Atelier Cologne...
I just never thought that something so authentically beautiful could come out of espresso and flowers.
Beautiful in the sense of noble and somehow also fabulous
Vanilla keeps here actually in the background: tuberose, coffee and cocoa leave the creamy sweet here left.

I can recommend this fragrance to anyone who is bored with the typical tuberose scent. I myself am also rather annoyed by such fragrances, which is why I'm happy every time a new fragrance of this family draws me under its spell.

Sun, seawater, unripe green flowers and clean lace underwear that went into the drum with a little laundry perfume to dry in the sun under the open sky. White, still damp sheets blowing around in the wind, cooling your skin as they brush your body over and over again through the breeze. Isn't that just the idea of a dream summer morning?
You get up, enjoy your first cup of coffee on the balcony and blink at the sun. The air is still so virgin in the morning, ready to be warmed by the sun. A perfect day. Doesn't that just sound perfect?
And yet Nettare di Sole is a scent I'm torn about.
Actually, Freshies are for me in the fragrance world an unknown, but above all uninteresting field. Consistently, this fragrance direction is neglected by me, almost shunned. And sometimes it does happen that I come across one or the other clean fragrance through the help of nice parfumas and parfumos. This Guerlain piqued my interest mainly because of the aquatic notes. To this end, it can be said after repeated testing that the aquatic symphathizes excellently with the bergamot and the floral parts. The citrus comes across rather subtly, which adds a certain complexity to the perfume - The citrus is recognizable and loud, but it is not a citrus scent as one would expect. What continues to be very special is that the marine note is entirely devoid of musty seaweed, yet still creates the idea of ocean water.
Now but times a little negative criticism:
My problem is the magnolia, which makes the fragrance really very clean and white. On the one hand, this is not my taste at all, on the other hand, the water flower totally enchants me, precisely because of the additional water chord that the magnolia has in it. The fragrance is to my happiness with time a little calmer, as far as this floral note is concerned and thus for me more beautiful.

Jasmine, rose and honey are not worth mentioning for me, because I recognize nothing of it in the entire scent.
Overall, you get a tart-fresh fragrance without sweetness and synthetics, which convinces me with its elegant aquatic character.
Authentic-Clean-Elegant
I can imagine the really good in the summer to one or the other festive occasion with champagne and dresses, but then please only during the day and not below 20 degrees.
A flacon will not have to but, at least not yet now

You know when you sniff a fragrance for the first time and your head fills with thoughts of disappointment? All the opinions and descriptions that appealed to you so much, made you request the fragrance, you can't understand. I felt the same way about Tonka Imperiale, in addition to Angelique Noire. Unlike Cuir Beluga and Spiritueuse Double Vanille, this one challenged my nose a bit. This nutty-warm-smoky character was like a milestone I reached in my journey through the fragrance world through Tonka. Even the second test triggered next to nothing in me. From 5ml became 4ml, from 4 became 3... and then - without warning

it was love.
There's this heartwarming tobacco that has a presence to knock down. There's also an almond note that rounds out the scent in a full and rich way, without giving the scent too much of a marzipan character.
And not to forget -tonka bean, which I was not even in the culinary arts a term. It suddenly wandered into every biscuit, shortbread and porridge.
Everywhere in my household it appeared, be it body lotion or perfume. Regrettably, at this point of enlightenment, there was only 2ml left in the atomizer. Can you imagine how that feels?
There you test a fragrance with enormous prominence and popularity over and over again and find no access to it. And then you fall in love... like back in school, the one boy who went to the parallel class. For years you knew nothing of his existence, his charisma to others, his charming ways. You simply didn't notice him. And then one day you happen to be standing in the same group in the playground. And then you feel it, this feeling of intimate connection. You feel comfortable in his presence and want him to surround you wherever you go. You want all the people to notice that you are no longer strangers to each other, but that you know each other and are in harmony with each other. You want to be seen with him and share with him your most beautiful moments in life...oh how beautiful those thoughts suppressed by realism were...

I feel the same way about Tonka Imperiale.
I want everyone to know that I smell like this perfume. I want to feel the scent on my clothes and on my skin.... yes I would go so far as to say I would marry the scent ;) If only that were possible. Anyway, I want to wear it, for better or for worse, until death do us part.

So I am pleased to announce that it is Tonka Imperiale the last of my 4 Musketeers.
They all share the collection, so of course the wonderful house of Guerlain, and yet they are so unique, with their own individual strengths

And here it is - the sixth of his series
I have to honestly admit that I was really extremely excited to test this release this time. Not necessarily because of the notes, much more because of the experiences I made with the KayAli perfumes. Especially Vanilla and Deja Vu White Flower did it to me. Both in their own way. I was showered with compliments for both and in the end, it's just the nicest: You like a fragrance and you get complimented on it.... i mean, that just makes your day.

So I took part in one of the first sharings and could hardly wait when I then held the small bottle in my hands.
Lid off - sprayed - waited -
Quickly it was clear in which direction this fragrance wants. A portion of saffron sweetness shoots me directly in the nose, also the roses one notices relatively quickly. Together with the saffron, they form an oud bouquet-like fragrance experience. Lancome's counterpart is worlds more intense though. Similar to the latter, you get a decent load of roses and deep dark, oversweet almost burnt syrup here. However, Oud Bouquet embodies more of a wilted rose that was dunked over and over again in the dark caramel syrup until the shape of the flower was unrecognizable. Sweet Diamond also wants to smell rosy and syrupy. Here, however, they also paid attention to aesthetics, so the roses here were only sprayed with the sweet gold. Now the small hardened caramel Spränkler glisten in the light of the sun and amplify the beauty of the rose.
In addition to these fragrance notes, the fragrance of course has something else to offer.
Initial one gets namely also a little sharpness and freshness, which is probably due to the bergamot and to the pepper. Unlike the name suggests, but the pepper is not the star in the fragrance.
Even though musk and patchouli are not exactly hiding, it crystallizes more and more over time that the roses are the main players here. A large bouquet, mainly roses, a few other little flowers are also tied in.
Some petals are already wilting, fall off and give their soul and fragrance to the air in the room. In addition, neat sweetness, and by that I mean really sticky, almost bitter sweetness.

Sweet Diamond may want too much at the beginning, but this claim puts the perfume later more and more, becomes rounder and bites less. Here he is Oud Bouquet in my opinion a little ahead, at least in terms of public appeal.
What is clear is that Sweet Diamond approaches quieter and more generally tolerable in direct comparison. Too often I was told when wearing Oud Bouquet: "Here smells like beer"
So lovers will more often reach for the KayAli... but will they rather do that?
Well, I guess that varies from person to person.

For me, unfortunately, this direction is nothing. I do not want to burden people with my fragrance or tear out of their thoughts, which this fragrance would be capable of all times.

Low doses he works the most beautiful, much you need of this marvel anyway not, because durability and sillage are exorbitant.

Vanilla simply casts a spell over just about everyone. For lovers like me, this is self-evident, I now consciously and purposefully reach for this angelic and at the same time nature-given fragrance. But it is also a fact that vanilla is not entirely dissimilar to the taste of breast milk. And already, the statement that "everyone loves vanilla" makes a little more sense. Sure, there are some people who have a problem with one spice or another, one flower or another, or even one fruit or another... but who can really admit they would describe the smell of vanilla as repulsive and not beautiful?
Not me, anyway, which is why it wasn't a surprise to me when I tested Sublime Vanilla. It was already quite good... at first.... but exceptional? - No

And again, I became a victim of myself. So often I preach to my nose:
Give the fragrance time
Test it on different parts of your skin
Spray it at different times of the day
Try it at different moods
and so on

And fortunately, I sometimes give my inner sanity the attention it deserves.
Because Sublime Vanilla is just that: special
The perfume is contrary and at the same time absolutely homogeneous and willing to compromise when it comes to letting the individual fragrance notes shine.
The lemon gives the vanilla more and more space, gives it strength and charisma. You don't encounter fresh citrus here, although I would describe the nature of the fruity parts as tangy. Cocktails that like to be refined with lemon also live from its tart character, which contributes to the cooling effect in addition to the low temperature. What you're much more likely to encounter here is a lemon biscuit cake with vanilla cream topping, which is probably more suitable for announcing an engagement than for the weekly coffee klatch at Aunt Klara's house. It's a cake that's almost too beautiful to cut. Gold leaf adds divine elegance to the cake. Add a few lemon zests and the masterpiece is complete. The cake was, of course, pricelessly expensive, but the two lovebirds obviously have the wherewithal. The question remains what is more beautiful: the enchanting scent of the cake or the fact that two people tie the knot ...

Sublime Vanilla smells delicately feminine and develops over time away from the authentic gourmand to a very noble exclusive perfume. After about 3 hours, I appreciate the fragrance the most, because now it has arrived, it smells innocent and exudes something unrivaled.
Don't get this wrong, I would never dismiss a good gourmand out of hand- quite the opposite. That's exactly why Sublime Vanilla has this downright intoxicating effect on me. Such a development was novel to me, precisely because a vanilla perfume usually remains just that: Vanillig

Even if the fragrance does not last long - Sublime Vanille has gescheckt me a new moment, and that's what we ultimately strive for.
