MarieTheres

Here in the old town there is a cute café hidden in one corner. It's called Café Mandelrose and the concept is quite nice. Furnished in the style of a Viennese coffee house, there is (almost) everything with almond and rose. In the morning at breakfast the cooked cheese is refined with rose petals, the homemade almond ice-cream is the hammer and only the rose tea... Hach!

Every time I spray Girl of Now, I feel like I'm in this coffee. The big red velvet armchair almost swallows me, the heavy wall clock ticks, it smells of fresh coffee, cake, flowers and almonds. My heart beats for almonds and everything you can conjure out of them. Girl of Now sniffs for me like an almond tart with crispy crust, under which pears and tangerine jam wait. In addition there is a delicious Latte Macchiato with almond milk or vanilla syrup - the fragrance experience is ready!

When sprayed on, the girl initially appears slightly alcoholic, but this note quickly fades away. Then it gets sweet, gourmandig and nice warm. I have kept the flowery bottle in turquoise and gold especially for the cold season and now, with the beginning of spring, it is as good as empty. Perfect timing!

I think the durability is really great, on my coat I can still smell GoN even after days, tonka bean and almond leave a wonderfully sweet veil on the clothes. Fans of Dior Poison Girl EdT or YSL Cinéma should definitely try this fragrance - you might like it!

As the bottle is, so is Lady Emblem L'Eau.

I probably never would have reached for it in my life if it hadn't been shown to me in the perfumery, because it was available in a set with body lotion just before Christmas. So let's hit the strip. It was love on the second Riecher, with the first Schnuppern I found him okay, but not outstanding. But in the end it developed so beautifully on my skin that while strolling through the pedestrian zone I "had" to go back to the perfumery to buy the Montblanc set with it.

Fragrances with peach are often much too sweet and artificial for me, but this one is different. You get what you see - the bottle reflects the fragrance beautifully. The blue colour signals the clear, pure, which the fragrance certainly has. But it's not a classic clean-bear scent either, but the shape and faceting of the bottle are too playful.

For me, Lady Emblem is a beautiful fresh fragrance that can be worn at any time of the year or day and on any occasion. You don't get on anyone's nerves with it and yet you can guess it well - and for a very long time. I can clearly smell it on my sweater even in the evening when I spray it on in the morning before work.

The perfume should be perfect for people who like it fresh but not too aquatic, who like to wrap themselves in discreet flowers and who are not averse to sweets. Mind you, no caramel and no cotton candy, but rather a light and fruity sweetness

Do you know what marzipan potatoes, liquorice snails and rhubarb have in common? You love her or you hate her. Nobody says, "Joa, marzipan, it's okay!" Or "I like liquorice very much sometimes!" There is only black or white - and rhubarb is exactly the same. I personally love the red-green stems and like to process them with berries to jam or sweet compote.

That's exactly what the perfume Amo reminds me of - a freshly cooked rhubarb compote. It has already given me a few compliments, the most concise of which was the statement: "It doesn't smell like any perfume" Yes, it is. At the beginning Amo sniffs a little bit of water, which Campari and Johannisbeere are responsible for. I can't really make out rosemary - I only know that in combination with potatoes. :-)

In the top note Amo becomes beautiful: Jasmine and rhubarb smell wonderfully sweet-floral, soon the delicate vanilla is added. I don't know of any fragrance that smells similar - it's a gourmand, but it doesn't have a gorgeous bum. It may be flowery, but it is not a bright sea of flowers. Amo always goes - to the office, in his spare time, to dinner. It adapts wonderfully, never gets too much and has an ideal Sillage, which is not too strong and not too weak

Perfume blind tests, that would be something! A fragrance is sprayed onto a neutral strip and test persons who have not seen the vial before can sniff it. Now they have to guess whether it is an expensive or a cheap fragrance. I weather, with Naomi almost everyone would bet on a high-end delicacy! If Rabanne or Lancôme or Saab or whatever their names are on the label, it would probably be a box-office hit like the LVEBs of the world. Because he doesn't have to hide! But he is standing somewhere on the side of the drugstore shelves and gets far too little attention in my eyes.

Okay, I think the bottle is ugly and full of nineties, but the fragrance is more contemporary than ever. Sweet gourmands are currently very popular to wear and see Shirin David (the community fragrance, you know about it....) a wild mixture of different ingredients is also very popular. So Naomi did everything right in the 90s!

The perfume contains many fragrances that I totally love: jasmine, orange blossom, star anise, vanilla, caramel, tonka bean... And they form a truly magnificent symbiosis. Naomi accompanies you best on cooler days - so now in autumn it's his time! In summer, which we had a lot this year, he could just get a bit too sweet.

Otherwise the scent on my skin comes across very soft and powdery, not obtrusive, but well perceptible. He also stays on the spot for several hours, so the incognito testers have nothing to criticize. I think it is an adult fragrance, and although it is so sweet and powdery, it has something clean, pure about it. That's exactly what fascinates me about him: It's like taking a fresh shower with a fragrant sun cream on a hot summer day and the scent wafts up your nose all day long

"Show me round your fruit cakes / 'Cause I will be your honey bee"
- Yeah, you're a honeybee, you "scandal". A honey bee, lured by gardenia and blood orange. At a picnic on a hot day at the lake, flowers all around - and I unpack the orange soda. Wonderful, that hisses when opening and tingles so beautifully!

"Open up your fruit cakes / Where the fruit is as sweet as can be"
- Sweet, yes, you're sweet, incredibly sweet. You are not much other than sweet, not particularly flowery or fruity, not woody, not tangy - "scandal", you simply smell of honey. After freshly spun honey, just filled into the glass and ready to be smeared on a piece of bread and butter. Ready to be eaten.

"All you do is call me / I'll be anything you need"
- All I have to do is take you out of the closet, spray you on, and you're there. You don't need time to work, a splash on the skin or the clothes and there you stay. Surround me with your scent, you honeybee. Less is more here, because your Sillage is really strong. Your scent is straight, towards the end you buzz off towards the flowering summer meadow - but always looking for nectar.

"This is the new stuff / I go dancing in"
- Well, you're not the latest shit, maybe you're not a scandal - sweet fragrances are trendy at the moment and really nothing new. But unique, yes, you are. I do not know of any such honey scent that is so unflowery and so powerful. I'm in a good mood - who wants to dance...?

"I'm your sledgehammer / Let there be no doubt about it"
- No other fragrance in my collection, no other fragrance (not vanilla, not tonka bean, not whipped cream,...) is such a hammer as "Scandal". Well-dosed it may be wearable in the office, but I think it's more for leisure time or in the evening to go away. Although he's not really "chic" either - rather lively.

"It's what we're doing, doing / All day and night"
- At first I thought I couldn't keep him on my skin - but somehow he has something. You just have to test it and see if the skin chemistry is right. I don't eat honey, but I kind of like smelling it. "Scandal" is simply something completely different, a gourmand direction that is far away from Praline and Co. The durability is really great - sprayed in the morning, the bee accompanies me through the night.

"This amusement never ends"
