"And from every rooftop, sparrows sing symphonies....
...flowers shall turn their heads towards thee on the balconies"

After Arabians Tonka, from which I was very enthusiastic, I had to test of course other fragrances from this house. A fragrance as hyped as Roses Musk therefore made my curiosity rise, so I ordered a sample directly from the manufacturer.

The scent starts with a strong synthetic rose, but it still smells very real. It's one of those lush big pink roses in the summer that I love and you can always smell it from a distance. In the heart notes, it's very linear and continues to be pure rose until it's muted a bit by the musk in the base without becoming powdery. The typical Montale DNA is present and the scent barely changes, but I didn't expect that given the fragrance notes. A solidly made almost monothematic rose fragrance, in which jasmine and amber go down.

The durability on my skin are 10 hours, the sillage is solid and initially circa arm's length, later he lets up a bit but is the entire 10 hours he is perceptible to me every now and then and pleases my nose. I find it very feminine and great for spring and summer. I also find it very suitable for everyday wear. To go out he would be a little too banal for me, I think.

This fragrance makes me cheerful, puts a smile on my face, gives me lightheartedness and a feeling of femininity. Although he has no innovative course, is also not very creative, almost unimaginative, I like him and the feeling he gives me. Moreover, I find the rose note very stunning. If you like intense, non-soapy summery rose, you might be happy with this. I will probably purchase a bottle and compete with the roses where I live in the summer. Let's see who then which heads where inclined ;-)

"Eternities come and go....
...Have tried them on more than once.
Here too tight, there too strict
Somewhere it pinches me.
Too whimsical, not my style,
The feeling doesn't suit me..."

A very interesting fragrance that I was able to test thanks to the Souk. Thank you for this opportunity at this point.

It is a fragrance with great and clearly recognizable as well as exciting scent progression. The opening is very citrusy, then a dominant earthy patchouli in the heart that reminds me of India and citrus sticks, the citrusy fades away and a woody creamy base emerges with the patchouli in the background. It is an elegant, grown up and unique fragrance that you will always smell out amongst many. Timelessly made for eternity.
I see it more in the evening, for special occasions etc. personally I find it unisex and good for cooler days.
The durability is quite good, the sillage moderate and I think every fragrance interested should sniff the times.

This fragrance is not my Beuteschema but my curiosity has won and the fragrance experience was worth it. I personally would not wear it, because it just does not fit me, is not my style but the creation and the quality are great.

Sweets for my sweets, sugar for my honey...
This fragrance was another blind buy from me. The notes really appealed to me. I love dates, cardamom and nutmeg very much, both to eat and to smell. So the small bottle had to move in with me.

Initial I was very flashed by the sweetness. The is already really extreme for my nose. Delicious dattelig like a dessert but you have to be prepared and in the mood for it. In addition, the date sweetness outshines everything else for me. Only in the heart note I perceive spiciness. Whether it comes from cardamom, nutmeg or already saffron, I can't tell but it doesn't smell like cardamom or nutmeg to my nose. So I guess it's already the base with saffron. Unfortunately, I don't smell rose either and almond only very late in the drydown with a lot of good will. The sweetness remains ever present but seems more subdued.
The durability and sillage is mediocre, an office day he would not survive on my skin without Nachzulegen.
By the sweetness I see him rather feminine and on cold autumn and winter days.
I think you can use it quite in everyday life but also to go out, where you really have to have a desire for desserts on the day. ;-)
Personally, I miss in the fragrance the clarity of the top note, I was actually looking forward to but it goes down somehow. Since I prefer to smell my spice jars in the kitchen. On the other hand, the date is very well done, very realistic, as if you were biting into it, ripe, soft, caramel, honeyed. However, the overpowering sweetness also makes the scent somewhat linear, the progression is rather low. More spice would be really good already in the top note. Also, the performance is not enough for me, although it is not bad.
All in all, a nice fragrance for all "sweet Susis". So who loves dates as I do, could be happy here. I am happy about the entry of my little flacon, but will not acquire it again, but look out for more complex and spicier date fragrances.

P.S. I wouldn't recommend buying blind. By the sweetness it could be a headache candidate for some

Cuddly, Comfortable, Warm
I struggled to find an opinion on this fragrance. He came to me as a sample thanks to the Souk and @KiviLii. Thank you again for this opportunity at this point. I was super excited about this fragrance based on the fragrance pyramid and the good reviews. Here now my conclusion after a few test runs:

+ warm delicious cuddly scent, exactly my Beuteschema
+ nice sweet vanilla note, tonka bean also well done
+ high quality
+ notes great blended

- Durability maximum 7-8 hours
- very close to the skin from the beginning, hardly any sillage
- very linear
- therefore quite expensive

Would I buy it? No. Would be too expensive for me.
Is it worth the hype? In my opinion, not, because there are many fragrances that are also cozy warm and go in this direction, but at the same time last longer or are less skin or even cheaper.

In principle, it is a great fragrance for the fall and winter, perhaps still for cool spring days. I see him, however, rather at the "Grand Soir" at home snuggled up than when going out, although he would be good for that too. It's a quietly pleasant scent that doesn't clash anywhere, so it's definitely fine for the office. I intuitively see it more on women because of the sweetness. I find the resinousness rather very enigmatic.
If the performance on my skin were better, he would certainly have moved in with me, because the fragrance is really nice.

Vanilla?
Based on all the positive reviews and because I love vanilla in fragrances, I blind ordered this scent. It sounded everywhere, as if it were a warm vanilla fragrance. But unfortunately, this turned out to be a bad buy.

On my skin I notice a lot of citrus, incredibly floral and then the scent immediately transitions into jasmine, which remains dominant. It is a delicate elegant jasmine, which I like very much but from vanilla no trace, not even from almond.
I doubted myself and tested therefore also on a strip. But the impression repeated itself and I perceived only much citrus and floral and especially jasmine. A few hours later, I could actually smell a nice almond on the strip and a bit of warmth came into the scent, which doesn't want to show on my skin but no trace of vanilla there either. Maybe I'm scent blind here too. Very strange anyway.

The fragrance itself is an elegant, sensual, adult, very feminine fragrance, although for me exclusively floral and therefore well suited for spring as well as summer. He goes for any occasion and does not antagonize, is quite linear in the course with good durability and moderate to low projection depending on the dosage. I could see many liking it and the almond and vanilla coming out great with different skin chemistry. In addition, the jasmine note is implemented here class.
I personally find him quite well done but he is unfortunately not what I was looking for. Therefore, the bottle may like to move on. Who is interested, may write with pleasure
