Fine sailor in old garb
Le Mâle was and is my most frequently bought perfume ever. I got my first bottle as far back as I can remember in 1998 and from then on I have a bottle of this fragrance in my collection until today. Now there are so many expansions of Le Mâle that you can hardly keep up with them anymore... I still have a bottle from 2007, which I keep very much to myself!
The best expansion of Le Mâle so far was for me the Popeye Edition and the Terrible, both really fine descendants of the original, although slightly modified, which I used from time to time. But now you think that it should be good but it will probably continue to milk the Le Mâle cow and it seems to be worth it ;)
Sprayed this one on the miller last week with an open mind. Crazy, but a little bit I felt transported back to the year 1998 when I held my first Le Mâle bottle in my hand. The typical DNA can now smell very good here in the Aviator again, for me almost like back then... With the difference that the Aviator is a bit fresher at the beginning like the Popeye edition and there is less cinnamon and something herbaceous/green pierces through. But it is quickly turned into the sweet direction, tonka and vanilla provide and there it is again, my beloved Le Mâle from its early days, even if no lavender is listed here, I think it smells good.
And what makes another difference is the durability and sillage. Compared to the original from that time, these are extremely reduced, which I think is very good, because you can wear the fragrance so wonderfully at work without knocking anyone over ;)
Summarized:
A Le Mâle extension, which (to my mind) is very close to the original from the early days, but still a bit fresher/herbaceous/greener with less hum, so you can wear it on the old days as well.
Oh, I am Happy that Le Mâle Aviator exists, it replaces the original from those days and I don't have the feeling anymore that I have to chase after a rare bottle from the 90s for many Euros ;)

Diors Spa Fragrance
I'm actually quite fond of Dior. My favourites of the house are Sauvage Cool Spary and Dior Homme Intense! I did not know the Dior Homme EdT despite my many tested scents until now... But this one is supposed to be a completely different one anyway, so there is no need to compare them here.
I am a big fan of ISO-E super fragrances, I can always perceive them very well. It doesn't always have to be sweet, which one this one isn't!
The smell:
Hardly sprayed on, I mean strangely enough to perceive a light iris for about 5 seconds. But this is completely gone and you get a sour/juicy bergamot paired with a pleasant peppery note, which is well known from sauvage. Bright wood also plays directly into the music and for me it creates a beautiful ISO-E super note. This smells very fresh, memories of a spa come back to me. Hot stones in the sauna and citrus steam, very pleasant! For the first 15 minutes the fragrance seems a bit old-fashioned but then it turns and it smells modern and wearable at all times. From then on, the scent does not change any further, which I find to be a good thing, though.
Shelf life/silage:
Unfortunately, this one is not so good with me. Only the first few minutes it radiates quite strongly, but then it becomes very close to the skin, probably just right for the office, but for me unfortunately a bit too weak, you have to spray more often. On my arm I perceive him approx. 4-5 hours still well, then he has almost completely disappeared or only to guess
Flacon:
Very chic bottle, handy in the 50 ml version, the 100 ml I had not yet in my hand. Makes a great addition to the shelf, simple & chic, goes great with the fragrance. Also the sprayer is good, much better than with the Sauvage perfume, which was a horror for me!
Yesterday I was a little sceptical because of the initial old-fashioned touch, today I see the fragrance a little different, I think I will be able to wear it from time to time at work or in my free time, the bottle stays with me for now, let's see how it looks like in everyday life :) The fragrance will definitely be a success, even if it should have been given a different name, because it might irritate a lot of people and they will compare it with the original EdT, whereas it is supposed to be an independent fragrance...

Inside Huii outside Pfuii
I too was completely unknown until the Sharing PP. Had informed me about him on the Internet, so the style of his clothes is really very unusual and for my taste very ugly. But it is probably a matter of taste, not to mention the price...
But since I am always curious about new fragrances, I had to participate in the sharing, of course, and yet I was very curious, since I like leather every now and then and in combination with vanilla and peppery spices it sounded very interesting to me :)
The smell:
Directly with the spotting I noticed that this one would probably please me very much. As hoped for, leather with the peppery spices and vanilla come into their own. Due to the aquatic note mentioned above, the fragrance does not appear too austere and musty, but rather slightly fresh and young. This is fine, light leather, already strong but never too much or too bulky. The vanilla (for me rather a vanilla pod) round this off beautifully. It is already sweet but the dark ingredients make it a suitable unit. Every now and then I have to think about car oil but not dirty or rancid. So I have never known a fragrance before, for me it is something completely new. A great leather-vanilla scent with slightly dark and fresh notes, Yes, I like it very much :)
Shelf life:
So on my skin the scent lingers about 4-5 hours, so it could be something more, the Sillage is very intense and penetrating at the beginning, but this flattens after about 30 minutes and then a slight pinch of the fragrance blows around the nose, but for me with this fragrance is perfectly sufficient, because otherwise it could quickly become too much and perhaps even cause a slight headache, so it is better to dose a little more discreetly.
Flacon:
Yes, for me this one is really poo, I am not a fan of skulls and this one is very deterrent for me. I don't have to have something like that on my shelf but PP has adapted his clothes line to it, so it must be like this ;)
So I am very enthusiastic about the fragrance despite the completely overpriced price. I really like this leather-vanilla station wagon. The fragrance is perfect in the cold season but even if it is a bit warmer I could imagine it. But since the price is completely exaggerated, only very few will test and wear this fragrance, but so there is a chance to smell different than all the others... A few ml of the scent I could get hold of, depending on my mood I will carry it outside the house.

My Christmas Star
Every year... Come Christmas and with it the feeling to treat yourself to something very special. To spoil yourself and do something good. This is what happened to me this year with this wonderful Xerjoff here. It's been a while since I bought a fragrance from this house, not quite cheap and usually a bit too special, which usually kept me from pressing the order button. This one wasn't easy at first either... Expensive, limited and also the fragrance again very special. But my sample from the sharing just wouldn't let go of me. So it came that I had to order it to get my peace of mind back, it was nice that it arrived yesterday on time for Christmas Eve :) but now to the essential...
The smell:
Already with the first test I had to think of Christmas right after spraying on the bike. The smell of Christmas markets, from speculoos, mulled wine, Linzer Plätzchen, oranges spiked with cloves to roasted almonds, is everything your heart desires. Intense spices, especially cardamom, come through here very strongly at first. For some, perhaps a little too much spice, but after a short time, the fragrance starts to work and becomes softer, rounder and slightly sweetish, even if the spices do not move into the background until the end, they are a perfect unit through a warm and very pleasant almond note and cinnamon and amber, and thus result in a fragrance which is full of high-quality and finest ingredients only shine like a star
Shelf life:
With this fragrance you can get through the day without it disappearing completely. In my hair I notice him the very next day. On clothes as well. Since I am a frequent sprayer, I like to refill 1-2 sprayers after 2 hours, just to experience the development of the fragrance again :) The sillage is also very high, my boss had gotten a little bit too much and he had to open the windows, others came and praised me in the sky how good I would smell :)
Flacon:
This one is simply gorgeous again, very high quality, quite heavy and the packaging is also grandiose, I am totally in love and every few hours I think about where I can take the best and most beautiful pictures and where I should put it in the apartment, it should not go into the perfume room because it would sink there, it will probably be the hallway in my starry shell, which fits perfectly, at least over how winter time and in summer for safety maybe in the perfume room, who knows...
All those who like spicy fragrances and love Christmas should try this starlight, here Xerjoff has once again created something wonderful, which you cannot smell every day, a special fragrance, especially for the cold days but not only at Christmas! I am very happy to be able to call this piece of jewellery my own now :)
Merry Christmas to you all!

You're the icing sugar on my lemon roll
Again there is a new Guerlain. This one, like the others from the Les Eaux De Rituel series, is intended not only for the skin, but also for underwear. From the series I liked the Eau de Lengerie already very much. I'm afraid the others weren't quite so mine. Here comes Eau de Bain. Already the bottle is beautiful, this delicate purple is great. This is very reassuring even if it sounds funny ;)
Have tested the fragrance so far only on the skin, for the laundry it is somehow almost too good for me but I will definitely test this out. I'm barely sprayed, and my skin is covered with a soft lemon mist. The green notes are also very present, it reminds a bit of grass, not cut but high grass pastures, still covered with the morning fog. So very fresh and it goes so well with the lemon, and a sweet note is added relatively quickly, reminds me of icing sugar mixed with almonds and orange pieces. It may all sound a little weird, but this combination is really so fitting. The musk is so bright and clean. The fragrance only develops for the first 15 minutes, from lemony/green to lemony/sweet powder with a touch of green, fresh grass.
This fragrance is a feel-good fragrance through and through. Very suitable for spring and summer. The lemon is simply enchanting. The green touch in the fragrance makes it very special for me, even if it's a bit unusual at first. For me like lemon powder on the skin, I must actually think of the lemon roll from my favorite bakery, so delicious!
Guerlain really did a great job on that! I will now use the scent more often, even if H/S are not the very best, but here I like to spray!
