What a wonderful aroma. I'm standing in the middle of a barista and my nostrils widen, breathing in this incomparable aroma of the finest, freshly ground coffee. It enters my brain and my tongue looks forward to the first sip of this intoxicating drink that I can take in with all my senses. Are you coffee-crazy snobs too (laugh)? Sometimes it just has to be a very special coffee and you sit together and have good conversations, linger a little with good friends or nice people and take advantage of the famous coffee break. We should do this much more often.
The fragrance opens up to me with a fine, slightly stronger espresso to which the finest vanilla notes have been added. The creamy almondiness of a good Amaretto liqueur and the warmth of amber underline this perfume in a very restrained but present way. After a good 20 minutes, the fragrance has become softer, like the lingering smell in the morning in the not-yet-opened barista where the coffee machines are not yet running. It remains coffee-heavy with warm undertones of the finest vanilla pods, amber and almond. When you wear this fragrance, people come closer to you, sniff curiously and smile directly at you. Delicious and inviting, you could say, and it lasts well (7-8 hours) - not for every day, but every now and then I like to indulge my love of coffee and wear it with pleasure

First of all, I think it's a shame how this beautiful and fine fragrance is sometimes rated here, makes me a little speechless.... I respect everyone's opinion, but people with an affinity for fragrances notice the subtlety of these individual ingredients. A fine sandalwood is never loud but very delicately caressing and noble. Here, in combination with the ginger, bergamot and coriander, the opening is a little cheeky and tangy and arouses curiosity. After a good 10 minutes, it settles down and becomes incredibly harmonious and warm. This beautiful woody note with the amber is like an embrace full of closeness and delicate sensuality. Wonderful who smells so inviting. Very carefully in the background, the slightly floral jasmine comes to the fore but only to give this fragrance a subtle nuance of femininity. I think it goes well with both men and women, for people who love dark, earthy scents and who are always a little mysterious themselves. The expression of gentle oriental with the sandalwood in combination with amber and cardamom suits me perfectly. It lasts a good 6 hours on me and is pleasantly close to the body - not one of those gasp-inducing scents. I think this brand has easily made the leap into the noble water ranks and I am looking forward to testing more perfumes from this new series. My fragrance recommendation for people who appreciate fine fragrances with the highest quality ingredients that put the wearer in the foreground in a gentle and noble way and thus show a never disturbing presence. Price with 100 ml is 120 Euro, beautiful black bottle almost a little Artdeco.

A very interesting fragrance and different....
Woody with a hint of light sweetness and fruitiness (blueberry?), but it disappears very quickly. What remains is dark, slightly animalistic like an animal quietly sneaking through the dark forest in search of prey. Musk surrounds this fragrance as a slightly seductive and gentle companion. The forest gives off its full fragrance of musty, damp wood, fresh fir green, something smoky, lots of strong wood, moisture, heather and berries that release their last fragrant reserves into nature. A very wild, free and somewhat frightening fragrance. You can still perceive the "original" here, which develops harmoniously on the skin. I find the slightly and only subliminally perceptible fruitiness of the blueberries interesting; they are often slightly tart but very aromatic. There is something enticing about them. A great fruit and the best ones grow right at the bottom of the bushes. The shelf life of these "wild creatures" is enormous - easily 10-12 hours. What is wild? The animals of the forest, the forest itself with all its old storytelling trees, the decaying which in turn smells almost wonderfully aromatic with the fresh pine needles and the pine balsam dripping on them. Find out for yourself. A great fragrance for individualists who are daring and want to get away from the mainstream. Fits every gender. A lady in a black dress is immediately believed to be independent when she shows her claws from time to time. You confide in an animalistic bearded man with an open shirt, but you have that slightly goosebump-inducing tingle on the back of your neck - what will happen? Am I safe or is something about to happen?
The packaging in the wooden box is a beautiful gem - speaks for the wild contents. I think the price of around 70 euros is fine. A great gift for all "wild persons" or those who can still see and perceive the wildness in everything.
A great recommendation from Venlo-Lekker Ruiken!

That's what I call a body-hugging, gentle and beautiful perfume, very delicate in its fragrance concentration but easily perceptible. The sandalwood in combination with the milk and saffron is very fine and classy. The restrained iris is also in good company with the mimosa. Now that's two juicy seductresses for me. For me, the whole fragrance develops in such a delicious direction (but in no way in a gourmand direction) as if you were seducing with your beautifully scented skin. The sandalwood is fine, very fine, clean and enveloping. If you're expecting a firecracker here-miss the mark. This is a cuddly, fine seducer, as if you were wrapped in silk scarves and this incredibly beautiful scent escapes with every movement. Your own body heat intensifies it all. It can be worn by women but also by men. I personally like a really good sandalwood in perfumes, I find it very flattering. The floral note is not very strong, it is a little oriental, for me a perfume that is more suitable for women. Lasts a good 6 hours and even the next day the clothes still smell very fine and tell the stories from distant countries where the women are veiled with the finest silk scarves embroidered with pearls and precious stones waiting for the man of their heart....
Bottle in juicy colors like bright saffron and rose gold - everything shines in the sun and creates images of sand dunes and beautiful tents. Price approx. 160 euros. The purchase is worthwhile if you want to have a fragrance here that you only want to share with your loved one and not with the whole world. Development is through the body heat like milk with the finest sandal oil-glorious and special. I can't find any comparison with other fragrances, I find it very unique.

First I want to appreciate the beautiful dark red glass bottle- very classy and appealing. 50 ml are at ca.165 euros , tested in the shop Skinn Cosmetics in Amsterdam, by the way, a great specialty store with very well trained and very friendly ladies, really perfect advice !
Now to the fragrance ....the prelude is a little spicy, light woody. Then this beautiful rose appears for me - very clear and present, not scratchy or taking over the room too much. It's just there - soft, caressing, alluring and of a distinguished elegant nature. A real pleasure blows around me the whole day. The whole thing I now describe as softly drawn by vanilla, amber and Siam-Benzoe- like a beautiful picture of a lady in noble clothes standing in front of an old building, you see her through a mist that just rises. A little mysterious, you get curious about this lady . Otherwise rose fragrances often have something extremely strong and artificial almost penetrating about them. This perfume is just noble, discreet but well perceivable if you may come close to the lady. This kind of restrained but perfectly used perfuming should learn again more people and not bathing in synthetic fragrances that are just fashion. The reader may not resent my honest words , I am for the special and the discreet.
For me me after a long time a beautiful and excellent perfume about whose purchase I am happy with every sprayer.
