I'm in the car on the way to the hairdresser. It's raining and storming outside today. A day at the end of March. Actually, I've really had enough of this miserable weather - I'm ready for spring... The hyacinths have been in my kitchen for weeks, blooming and smelling, one after the other... My scented wardrobe has consisted of fresh floral fragrances for weeks. But today is a day for a cuddly, creamy, spicy fragrance that wraps me up like a cozy scarf. It shields me from the rain and the disgusting gray.
I stand in front of my perfume cabinet and immediately know which fragrance I'm going to wear today... That's not always the case - often enough I spend a long time thinking about which fragrance suits the day, my mood, my clothes, etc...
This fragrance is just perfect for today...
It starts citrusy-cinnamony and turns into a creamy-spicy plum-cinnamon scent on a beautiful incense base.
Very, very beautiful! My companion today..

I'm not so good at writing reviews. I usually don't have the right words. But I'll try again anyway, because a statement for this fragrance would be too short...

This great fragrance hit me right in the heart. Because it's such a masterpiece? Not necessarily. Because it's so extraordinary? I wouldn't say that either.
But then what is it?
This fragrance evokes a memory and a feeling in me. For me, it smells like summer, light-heartedness and joie de vivre. And that's what many of us expect from a good fragrance - that it touches you inside, awakens something in you - a feeling or a memory, a mood...

The fragrance starts green, sweet and with lots of fig leaf. This all remains as the fragrance progresses and later the almond milk is added to round off the scent.

The longevity is good. Sillage could be stronger for my taste.
The bottle is simple and beautiful. And the price is really good...

Conclusion - I really like this fragrance and will certainly buy it soon..

I walk up a small hill to the chapel. It is summer and the meadow here in Italy in Val Molini- Near the Ledrosee- smells wonderful spicy, herbaceous. I arrive at the top of the little old chapel. It smells of warm wood and old pews. I step inside and soak up this woody, warm scent. I see 2 pews to the left and right and step to the front of the small altar. Mary with the baby Jesus in her arms. I sit down on a bench and enjoy the silence. I have arrived.

Now to this, for me, beautiful fragrance that evokes this beautiful memory from my childhood. He starts woody, green and becomes in the course beautifully warm, spicy and herbaceous. Wonderful!

I spray this fragrance and have directly a picture in front of me- a field. Hay bales are made. Next to me is an old wooden hut, which probably provides storage space for the farmer's working utensils. The sun is shining, the air is warm. It is a beautiful late summer day. The crickets are chirping. I have the smell of the wood warmed by the sun in my nose. I feel content and calm.
Now for this particular scent- it starts with a herbal liqueur note. When the alcohol fades, what remains is a scent that is very complex. It smells of hay, of warm wood, of strawflower, of late summer.
The fragrance gives me peace and a feeling of security.
I have not smelled a similar fragrance before and am glad to have discovered and purchased it....
About the packaging I must say- very artistic and great design. The fragrance comes in a wooden box with extra card, on which the story to the fragrance is to be read... Also the bottle is very special with its handmade lid.

Diaghilev is a really "top-class" fragrance. It definitely goes in the masculine direction. Describing the fragrance is not so easy. It is very complex, spicy, herbaceous, and tends towards chypre
The fragrance is a multi-faceted masterpiece made up of 32 fragrance components... The woody and leather notes give it depth. It is a heavy fragrance, but not overpowering. I would wear it to go out in the evening - to the opera, to the ballet... Not for dinner or a date.
