A well-groomed, attractive woman in an airy, beautiful summer dress sits on a bench in her garden and reads a book. One sees and smells many flowering plants. Only a few rays of sunlight come through the well overgrown garden. The grass is lush green. Various citrus fruits are growing. The woman values her appearance but is never overdressed. She loves the outdoors and cooks with fresh ingredients from her garden.
This is the image I have right in front of my eyes when I smell the fragrance. For me, the fragrance radiates self-confidence. But the wearer does not want to stand out too much or even get on the nerves of others in her environment with the fragrance. Monsieur Li is individual and special, yet pleasing.
The kumquats give the fragrance a very pleasant tangy tartness, somewhat acidic without smelling citrusy. I also perceive green and notes and a slightly woody base. For me, a great new discovery for summer. Floral, green, fresh, but also slightly creamy, fine...
Wear "Le Jardin de Monsieur Li" currently very happy also at work. It is perceptible for several hours without radiating too much.

My perfume taste has changed significantly over the last 10 years. In general, I like less and less fragrances from the designer sector. But Armani Code - that simply goes even after more than 10 years still wonderful. I get nostalgic and somehow also emotional when I smell this fragrance, simply because it reminds me so much of the "old days" - of party nights, first love and the little problems of yesteryear....

The scent develops beautifully warm, cozy, gourmand, is very present and sexy. Most of all I smell orange blossom, vanilla and jasmine out. This scent just never goes out of style and even after so many years, I have by no means grown tired of it. I no longer wear a fragrance with pleasure and regularly, which has pleased me so long ago.
For going out, I like to reach for him when I want to play it "safe". In the summer I also like to wear the Turquoise or in the winter the Cashmere Flanker. I also like the Code Homme.

I can well imagine myself still wearing Code in 10 years.... :-)

A few weeks ago, I ordered a bottling of Lira (also from the Casamorati line). When the fragrance arrived, I wasn't really disappointed because there's something very nice and special about it, but I realized right away that it's not a fragrance for me. Sometime in 2019, I had tried Bouquet ideal and had in the back of my mind that I liked the scent. If you don't know the fragrance yet and only hear the name, you probably expect something else. At least that's how I felt at the time: I was expecting a floral, rather lighter fragrance. My interest was piqued again, so I ordered Bouquet Ideale. When it arrived, I had to test it immediately: WOW!!! I haven't had that in a long time, to be so overwhelmed by a fragrance right away. This kind of fragrance was still missing in my mind. Bouquet ideal is for me a very perfect, very coherent fragrance:

It is the perfect blend of warm, spicy, vanilla, oriental and sweet (but not at all sticky sweet) for me and is just beautiful both "at the beginning" and "at the end" in the drydown. I detect a very nice vanilla note, woods but also something very pleasantly smoky (similar to incense). There is no annoying or pungent note at all that stands out too much. For me, the fragrance is unisex.

The sillage is good, but also not too heavy, so I wear this fragrance even at work (2 sprays are enough for me). I perceive the fragrance even after hours; the durability is top.

Currently, I have only the 30ml bottle, but soon the 100ml bottle will definitely move in with me. I can not imagine this fragrance away

Cuir Beluga - how I adore you!
This scent is so warm, cozy, soft, enveloping ...
I love the vanilla notes in Guerlain's fragrances and it's perfect here too. Together with the leather note very round and fitting and at the same time not too sweet or too gourmandig. Just perfect. This fragrance makes me happy.
The other day, I smelled Cuir Beluga on a man, which I also found totally beautiful and I would have loved to tell this gentleman that he smells wonderful...

When I first smelled Delina, I thought : "oh no, this is definitely not for me". Nevertheless, I got a small bottling in my favorite perfumery of Delina. I put the bottling away for now. Now when it first got a little warmer a few months ago, I rummaged through my bottlings and sprayed Delina on my arm. As the evening went on, I caught myself constantly bringing my arm up to my nose and smelling it. WOW. Delina is so great after all, as many describe it. The drydown is so beautifully creamy, rosy, soft and not at all heavy and smothering. A great cozy scent (for the warmer months). After testing it several times, I actually bought the Delina after all. However, every time I wear it, I'm not sure if I like the scent or not. Something excites me about it, but something bothers me so much that I often don't reach for it. I've since figured out that it's important that I don't spray too much of it, and also that I spray it on my skin rather than on clothes. On the skin, the scent develops beautifully. I wouldn't need this sour-fizzy one of rhubarb and lychee at the beginning....
The longevity is incredibly long. I can still smell the scent well the next day, both on my skin and on my clothes.
A funny love-hate relationship this Delina
