Vanilla powder
The hobby with smells can be infinite. Sometimes you think you're through with everything, but then all of a sudden you feel like it again. That's what happened to me the other day. I was a little bored with my collection and many of my fragrances were simply unnoticed on the shelf. This I found nevertheless very pity and I was also already a little bit sad about it... But then an acquaintance came up to me, she had cleaned her apartment thoroughly and sorted out many of her no longer used fragrances. She then brought it to me and I didn't even know what to say, I was really happy about it! While sorting out many old and almost forgotten scents came back to me and then it happened to me. I knew what to do so that I could give my hobby some spice again and so it happened, I concentrated immediately on the old vintage fragrances which are no longer available in the perfumeries today. And lo and behold, there are really many wonderful classics where I just can't understand that they were set. So I roll up my collection again :)

This fine Jil Sander I had of course also envisaged in the eye. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to get it on the internet anymore and if only at horror moon prices! But I was lucky here at Parfumo and could get an almost full bottle for a halfway good price, so of course I hit it. I didn't know what fragrance to expect, it was a blind purchase but it was worth it!

Hardly sprayed on, I have the feeling, I had always possessed the smell, it was so familiar! He reminds me of my childhood days. On the visits to my aunt, she was a big fan of vanilla and it somehow always smelled of her, where this came from I unfortunately do not know until today. But it's not an easy, sweet vanilla but this one is incredibly clean and powdery. But also a little warm and grown up. I think violets, lavender and leather play a great role here, they make the fragrance absolutely unisex and seductive at the same time. It is a very light leather, nothing musty. Oud I don't even notice rather a little cedar, slightly fresh. A great candidate for cooler days but also in spring (as it is at the moment + 15 degrees and a little more) he fits super!

Such a piece of jewellery, only 11 years ago when it was released and probably already reinstated in 2011. I feel like he's from the '90s. A really great durability, with me on the skin up to 10 hours, the Sillage is very pleasant. I am really very happy that I could get hold of another bottle of this beautiful fragrance and will keep it like my treasure :)

Desert dream
The desert is big, hot and sandy! Your feet sink into the sand, walking becomes harder and harder, sweat runs all over your body. Drinking's getting scarce, you're getting tired, etc.... Yes, you know it from many movies, a horror performance. Laitek Mai reminds me of the desert but the performance is more than beautiful. A desert dream becomes truth!

When spraying on, I almost have the feeling that desert sand grains are coming out of the spray head. It is incredibly warm and dry and also slightly peppery at the same time but also a little flowery, the jasmine stands out very much and vanilla gives a very delicate sweetness to it. Thoughts of 1001 nights come to me, a long dark-haired, beautiful woman walks past me and leaves behind a carpet of scents full of emotions. This dry warmth combined with the slightly sweetish jasmine is something I haven't smelled yet.

There is not really a big scent process here, it directs from beginning to end simply grandiosely after warm/dry/sweet-flowery desert sand grains. Thought of incense like light wood. Find the fragrance more feminine, but men could also enjoy it if they get along well with jasmine. For me Jasmine unfortunately mostly causes headaches, but not here at all, here it only triggers my desire for more! A very adult and noble scent, which you will definitely not find again. Great quality, super durability and a very pleasant Sillage! This is my pleasure!

The start of spring
Spring can't really start any better than this. With this enchanting companion you are greeted very well. The scent makes me really good mood and joy! Here, one has to think directly of a walk, past lush meadows, the dew is still in the air, it is slightly fresh but no longer cold. Along the water, everything is quiet and peaceful.

Chanel has really developed a great fragrance here. I hadn't even imagined him so beautifully, so the surprise is even nicer! The fragrance starts right at the beginning with an incredibly fresh and clean iris. Nothing here is dusty or dry. Here the thought of water comes to my mind. Like a rippling stream or a waterfall. The scent is also slightly cool for me. Very fascinating! I smelled something like that at the Montale So Iris but the Chanel is even fresher, cooler, cleaner and more powdery. Like iris powder which is poured into water. A great cooling and refreshment but not in the cheap way but very high quality and noble! I can't smell the honey but I think it's maybe responsible for the pleasant sweetness. Everything fits together perfectly!

I am really very enthusiastic and very happy with the fragrance. I'm already really looking forward to spring and summer, because the scent fits in best for me. But also to wear so wonderfully, a smile is preprogrammed :) In addition, the fragrance also has a super durability on my skin and the Sillage is also not to be despised.

One of the best new releases of the last half year so far! Who can test him, should do it, who likes Iris will definitely like him or even love him :))

One fragrance & a thousand memories
Fragrances have been with me since childhood. My mother loved to use perfume, she often had the latest fragrances in her bathroom. Today I believe that I have inherited this great hobby a little from her. Unfortunately, I can't ask her now because she left me 22 years ago. Today I am almost as old as she was when she died and she always wanted her perfume at her bedside.

Now my time travel starts again and I have to say, it is nice to think about earlier again. Fragrances can evoke a lot of memories, that is something very special. So far I wasn't really the collector of the older, adjusted fragrances but thanks to a nice acquaintance who pushed a whole swing of 90s fragrances into my hand a few weeks ago my hobby becomes even more intense. When I saw all those scents, I had to think about the old days. One or the other thing I knew through my mother or I had once had myself. But when I put the fragrances on my shelf I suddenly got a lot of them, wait, back then there was a fragrance which you really liked to put on. Not long, and I knew it was Indian Summer. Unfortunately I didn't remember how he smelled but I knew I liked him very much back then. So I searched the internet and found a new 30 ml bottle of the EdP with OvP. I just had to strike :)

Now for the scent. Hardly sprayed on, I knew exactly, yes, that is the smell which I once so loved. This violet is just so tender and blends wonderfully with the sparkling fruits. As JetonToni already wrote, it reminds something of lemon sweets but not sour but rather sweet and creamy. The teeny note and the light wood round off the fragrance perfectly. The fragrance is like a cream on the skin, slightly fresh but also warm. For me something very special, not to be found today as I think.

In addition, of course, this fragrance brings my memories back, I remember things I almost forgot, unbelievable! I know, there are still some old scents, which are waiting to be rediscovered by me and I have already found one or the other piece. It remains exciting :)

I've come across leather
I can still remember my first dark brown and so far only leather trousers. Man, that was a stiff thing! But once you were inside, she sat like a glove and kept you damn warm! Then this leather smell, already very intense, striking, dark, a little dirty. I didn't think it was so great but it just belonged to it.

But leather is not the same as leather. There is leather which smells like just described above, then there is also noble leather which smells very fine, brighter and almost already affectionately. That includes Ombré Leather for me! Such a great leather scent I had so far only very rarely under the nose, am actually not the big leather scent fan, is too much for me and does not fit me somehow completely. This fragrance manages to wrap the leather so well that I'm really thrilled about it!

Hardly sprayed on the fine leather note blows directly towards you, light wood I also smell out and I have a little the feeling that I would smell some iris thereby, although this is not listed. This makes the leather very soft and pleasant. Not long and spicy notes and something sweet are added. This all smells so nice, clean, coordinated and noble. After wearing it for a while something slightly earthy is added which comes from the patchoulie but this is only very minimal. The scent actually doesn't change much anymore, it lies on my skin for many hours now and blows into my nose again and again.

So this fragrance has done it to me directly, find now just in the cooler season an absolute must have fragrance, if you like woody / spicy / slightly sweet leather likes. Thanks Tom for giving me my leather scent! Should definitely have been tested. Price/performance is great!
