Rescue drops for spraying
There are "these" days... The ones that motivate you to get up in the morning with all the tricks and positive thoughts at your disposal. And on the way to work not to turn around again or to take another direction (here I could simply change now)...

Because maybe the wrong meeting is on the agenda - too long (more than two hours, torture anyway, if you ask me) - and on the wrong topic (internal bloodlust pre-programmed) - or because the wrong person is there (5 minutes already too much! What - THREE hours? Really now?). Anyway, I'm digressing, sorry!

On these days, I take the silver "miracle cure".

I got it for free and at the first test I just found it "boring". It took two, three attempts for me to find access to him.

"Mirra" is a well perceptible (but more unobtrusive) and with me very durable smell on short distance. Sprayed in the morning, the theme is "fragrance" for the whole day through - he accompanies me without problems until the evening.

After spraying on a minimally short (so short that it doesn't bother me) hairspray note, after one to two minutes then a relatively constant fragrance impression until the end: thoughts of oriental bubble bath/softener, a minimal trace of pleasant baby powder, a tiny hint of rose (in my opinion similar to the Chloe fragrance rose DNA).
Warm, soft, oriental spices, soft wood, delicate musk. Paddy, light and bright. A hint of orange. The listed vanilla doesn't get through to me at all.

"Mirra" doesn't demand anything - not even attention - he doesn't distract, he doesn't annoy.

It only gives: peace, balance, comfort, warmth, stability and strength.

Due to the relatively unchanged fragrance he is a reliable, uncomplicated ally for me in the fight against exhausting, cloudy and annoying days. This little water has the "Ohm effect" on me. It makes everything a bit more bearable and works like a mixture of "Rescue drops", valerian and chocolate.

And the smile every now and then succeeds as if by itself - for three hours... ;-)

The principle danger
I have a principle about perfume testing. Nothing is washed. Nothing!!! The curiosity is too great, what comes afterwards and too often the surprise was already big, what came along after a for my taste terrible top note nevertheless still pleasant. So far this has never been a special problem for me.

During the test of my filling of "Art" (today) this principle was put to a very hard test. Sillage and durability weakly evaluated and described in the comments as pleasant, easy and good-tempered, two decent "PFFTTTSSSSSSS" landed on my wrists.

A few minutes after that: Images of threateningly large anti-insect candles appear in my mind's eye, that must be the bergamot. Shortly afterwards the plum spreads, for a good 20 minutes. But this is not a rich, warm plum like in "Decadence", this is a hard, grumpy, cold and gloomy plum - one that looks at you evil and seems almost threatening. If Japanese plums really smell that way, I don't want to get anywhere near them, ever!

"You could do the dishes," it occurs to me, over and over again, every minute. "Look, the sink's almost there, soap too, it's okay if it doesn't fit at all. Others do what you read all the time."

I have my principles!!! Hold on. You can do it. Interlock your arms on your back, hold on!

To cut a long story short. Made it. After approx. 20 minutes the grumpy plum gets smaller and goes off.
What comes next reinforces my principle. That's really nice (yes, the word *g*). Delicate cherry, creamy. When Japanese cherry blossoms smell like this, then I simply leave the plums on the left in Japan and sit under the cherry tree. All the way! And really like :-)

Sillage harmless, totally.
Shelf life not good, after about 2 hours the cherries leave me too and I am far away from Japan and any fruit again (if it is in the base musk and cedar wood, then it is completely odourless in Japan).

There was nothing fresh about this scent. Good-humoured at most the middle part with the cherry, but that was too short for constant good mood ;-)

PS. For the sake of completeness I have to say that the bottling is according to the label from summer 2017 - the fragrance smells zero, but maybe the quality has already suffered a bit - otherwise it is simply due to my skin chemistry...

Dialogue with my conscience
I: He's simply brilliant. For me the best NR ever. Want to have.
G: Please go, now you already have three of them. It's always the same brew anyway.
I: That's not true at all. The direction is of course similar, but this is much gentler than the For ago. And much more mature than the L'eau for her. And much more springlike and carefree than the Musc Collection. And there is a minimal sweetish undertone, only very delicate, which the others don't have at all - maybe a trace of orange or mandarin...
G: Yes, what one can talk oneself into... Even the flacons all look the same.
I: Fortunately, because I really like them. And this clear white is just perfect for spring and summer, just a dream.
G: If this thing is so light, it probably won't stick with you.
I: And whether, sprayed 6 hours ago and still there, even that fits.
G: But you didn't want to increase your collection anymore. You didn't want to buy any more. NOTHING, you said.
I: I know, you're right. This is the last one now. It's just perfect and the L'eau for her and the Musc will soon be empty and both are gone. So this is a really sensible investment in my Narciso future.
G: Please go, talk about sensible and don't know where to put the bottles anymore
I: I still have everyone well accommodated. And it's so nice and narrow, there's a place there when the other NRs move a bit closer together.
G: Your limit is 30. And 1.5 years ago it was 13, if I may remind you.
I: You're not allowed. And now SCHNAUZE.
Wants to have!!!

Tested with the sun in your heart
The beautiful comments on this fragrance. The name that promises so much happiness. The bottle that will put you in a good mood even when you look at it.
He had been on my watch list for so long, today he stood unexpectedly in front of me in a perfumery.

The sun laughed in my heart, spring fever germinated when I tested it. And then my skin, which might really have its own life, (once again) put a spoke in my wheel.

The first 15 minutes still a really fine, special, not everyday harmonious sweetness. Delicate and seductive and very special! Wow, this will be expensive, my conscience murmurs reproachfully/anxiously ...

But then: MUFFELALARM!!! For two hours. No more, no less. No drumming's gonna help. And also not that the base then fades away again quite pleasantly smoky-vanilla.

In this respect, I wasn't angry that "Sunshine" didn't develop any Sillage worth mentioning for me, either, but rather bobbed up and down.

Very unexpected, but before this sun black, thick clouds have pushed themselves with me. My heart is crushing a little tear. Or, to be positive: saves a lot of money...

And it's still winter.

Hairspray to go
Since I have taken at least two Tesoris into my heart (I'm not quite sure about the 3rd yet), I was also very excited about this one. I'm also very happy for all the prescribers who have found a familiar companion in this fragrance, but I won't get warm with it at all.
The first half hour after spraying, I have a penetrating, artificial hairspray note, which is merciless and without any change in the air and is much too intense, cold and dominant for me - even with a small dosage.

The next hour or so, a dust-dry cream-powder mixture spreads out, with my mental eye sending the image of an open cream jar forgotten in the sun to my brain every few minutes in an endless loop. The cream has already become so dry and porous due to the heat that thin cracks are already forming in it, which shrink slowly but steadily.

Since both phases are not necessarily what I would like from a perfume, I am not too angry that either my nose or my perception (or both) have said goodbye to nirvana in both test runs afterwards, by simply making me "smell-blind" - after about 1.5 hours I could hardly perceive anything of the fragrance either time and can therefore report nothing about the further development

This won't work out with both of us - the fourth Tesori is allowed to move on and ends up in the folder "Flacons to go"...
