Beach Pebble Sun Cream
When asked about the fragrance, the saleswoman at Galeria said "he won't stay long" and pulled my test strips (Saab Parfums) out of my hand.
As a lover of "Zen" and "Everbloom" but bad wearer of EdTs nevertheless packed.
It starts directly very fresh fruity without annoying alcohol note. A cloud of orange, almost ripe plum and lemon. For a very short time it becomes marzipan sweet. Then I have red grapes in front of my nose or in the can of food for the beach.
It gets cool on the beach and fresh.
The sea wind carries the smell of wet pebbles, like the old hydroponics of my grandmother, who washed them regularly and removed old roots. Always a slight smell of wet soil, rotten roots. There could be algae between the rocks by the sea.
In order not to burn one applied sun cream, which is blown depending upon wind again and again under the nose. This creaminess is pleasant but also very synthetic. The delicate blossoms of jasmine and rose were previously pulled through soapy water. I expected Mirabelle to be sweet-herb-fruity, but it sank. A very charming lemon is pushing its way past the nose all the time. Unfortunately I can't get rid of this hydro smell anymore and pack my things to rinse off the greasy cream at home.
Conclusion: unfortunately not my rising sun. In the open air, when wind blows the scent only dosed, very beautiful and also lasts 4-5h

The good laundry of Madame
I bought it in the clearance sale and, since Japan is always worth a try for me, I took it.
The long narrow bottle is satined with turquoise clear perfume. The lid is angular and reminds in colour and form of the red-orange lacquered Torii, which can be found as an entrance to temples. So, suitcases packed for the trip abroad.

Fruity lemon in an alcohol bath tickles the senses. A creamy apricot comes through easily. It's getting green-grassy. The apricot would rather be melon, i.e. watery sweetness and still flowery, how do I know yet? Relax.

Someone handed out violet water and brought lilies of the valley. The peony is perceived, the jasmine is not present. But the orange blooms sweet and intense.
It gets stuffy and soapy. Something you put in old wardrobes for good laundry. So suitcase back to.

After 3-4 hours the mental journey has become a visit to a very dear lady, who has a wooden fruit bowl with ripe bananas and small apricots on the table, in addition violet pastilles and lemon slices is enough and is pleased about the bunch of peonies brought along. A flowering orange stands at the terrace door and you could pick lilies of the valley from the garden but they should not stand in rooms.
That's nice but only for last minute travellers who expect to fly to a country they don't have at the top of the list. It's still the summer holiday and you've recovered. I'm afraid it's not what the bottle promises.

Cotton candy for ginger tea
I have rummaged the smell here because of the ginger, which I like very much in perfumes.
I can't understand the name because it promises me an extravagant, controversial and unadapted perfume. It's not. But go on.

The bottle reminds me, as with "eaudemoiselle", of the heavy cut glasses that my grandparents had in their bar in the showcase. The color of very strong ginger tea with honey and that fits.

The first cloud and I stand at the Christmas market in front of the car with glazed apples, roasted almonds and cotton candy. This extreme sweetness and caramel note is very dominant and at the same time burns a sharpness in the nose. Delicious, interesting, almost too much.

After 30 minutes continue on the market to the stand with pastries. Sweet gingerbread with ginger and orange jam come to mind. The honey becomes stronger and stronger and reminds of drugstore honey milk liquid soaps, recently with Manuka honey, which smells very spicy intense. I've got it right in front of me, just without the milk. The orange remains fruity, but makes room for the light, clean and fresh rose. The jasmine gives even more sweetness. The ginger continues to warm in the background.

After 3h and with cold feet home and a ginger tea cooked with dried rose petals. Too much time wasted changing socks and the tea is lukewarm. A lot of honey added, ginger quite light and pleasantly spicy. The roses give quite a weak soapy note. It remains warming, delicious, sweet and a toast with orange jam still has room. After the bright start this is a really nice finale and fits perfectly to cold winter days.

If someone likes the "Honey I washed the Kids" soap, it could be something, just with a sharp kick.

Orange on holiday in Japan
Admittedly I am a Shiseido fan through "Zen" and the fragrance here so very open-minded towards.
I don't have to have any more pink flacons, but I like them very much.
At first drunk cherry (would go well with the bottle), yes like Mon Cherie, who meets a peach for a moment, invites the curtain
and then on the chocolate shelf to the fresh sticks with the orange note. Cinnamon and a peppery note that scratches the throat a little. Herb- green. All this remains easy and disappears after only 20 minutes. The orange dominates, is pleasantly fruity-shelled, the lotus gives freshness, gardenia discreet and I had to read the cyclamen. If you had some as a child and whenever you remove the very sensitive and fleshy stems, a light juice emerges, which smells bitter-green and slightly bitter. That seems to be the sharpness I suspected at first.
After 2 hours it is very close, fresh and sweet due to the lotus, which harmonizes very pleasantly with the orange, which gives the fruitiness. Slightly flowery and with the cyclamen a subliminal herb-green sharpness, which I find exciting. Surely the wheel is not reinvented and for many unexciting or arbitrary.
Wear it in the summer very gladly around dezent fresh and to be nevertheless lively wrapped.
Holds 3-4 h and then stops without further change

bittersweet rose
The fragrance was tested on the basis of very different descriptions here and because of the basil note which I find exciting.
Not very enthusiastic about cardboard, black and white model photos in old frames decorate the packaging. All right, then. The bottle lies very nicely in the hand, the ribbed glass reminds of old glasses for cognac. From the head comes a good spray, so take care because the fragrance is quite intense.
It opens alcoholic and immediately fruity. Very ripe banana/pineapple/pear? A trace of lily. Little by little the basil comes out, the hands are rubbed against the leaf and the scent is there. Light spice and herbaceous but not as clear as I had expected and wished.
Hardly astonished about it comes the rose note. Try to dare me slowly to rose scents and here she is dominant for my nose but not unpleasant soapy or old-fashioned.
Ylang intercepts and balances the rose well, but brings even more sweetness. Now I also smell a pealed, bitter citrus note (the tangerine) which remains fruity and the fragrance not only can be floral but also strangely pushes itself into the foreground again and again. The spice of the basil unfortunately only imaginable. The one already mentioned here in comments
Vanilla also comes through unobtrusively, which I find pleasant, as I don't like it excessively, but it rounds it off softly and concludes with a soapy rose note.
I am not yet sure whether I am really a wearer of rose fragrances, because they seem slightly madamig with me. This one is elegant but also grown up and the bitterness or citrus note is exciting but not so well balanced with me or sometimes disturbs it. Intense and not for days when you want to be lightly wrapped. It also causes mild headaches when heated. For the summer evening on cool terraces I imagine it well and for a
very neat, elegant
A dress with everything right from head to toe.
An interesting discovery that will certainly be even more balanced. Don't give up the basil quest.
