Magic
Hypnotic Poison is the scent that surprised me the most out of all of them.

Actually, I had no desire to test it at all. This was probably a straight prejudice - I had but over twenty years ago once a bottle of # Tendre Poison given, whose scent I found (sorry!) Just horrible. I wore it a few times anyway, because I didn't want to disappoint the person. Anyway, I have immediately avoided ALL Poisons like the devil the holy water, because I feared, the smell all like that.

Because I'm but a packaging victim (is not this bright red candy apple just adorable?) and me recently by chance a mini bottle ran across the way, I have just also sniffed times dran Where he was already there, not true.

Oh ... hmm ... soo bad is not the now ... whether I times on the skin ... well, okay, in an emergency I scrub off again quickly.
What can I say - it was done around me, from the first second. Within days, a riichtiger bottle moved in with me.

My sensations to the fragrance ...sweet, warm, floral creamy and with a very own, delicate spice (unfortunately not very long), behind which I suspect the allspice.
Fine hints of apricot, plum and noble flowers, embedded in an embrace of coconut, almond and vanilla. So beautiful, so opulent and beguiling, and yet elegant and extravagant and so harmonious in its composition, that I am quite overwhelmed.
The name says it all. Hypnotizing poison. You want to wear it always, snuggle into it, let yourself be seduced and enchanted by this sweet poison. For me, a whole new great love, which will certainly accompany me for a long time.

My conclusion - prejudice is stupid per se. But despite the fact that I am not free of them, I try (since then even more) to face things with an open mind and without bias.

Noble almond cloud
I am zodiac sign Gemini. Diversely interested, erratic, creative, sometimes giddy, sometimes giddy. And curious, yes. It is this curiosity that will be my undoing once again here. In keeping with my nature, I have many different scent loves. But ingredients like almond, vanilla, tonka, etc. actually always get me, and thanks to dear @Calypso, I recently came across a bottling of Infusion d'Amande.

I like to be sometimes quickly in love, And sometimes it is also quickly over with the love again. But here was the first spray on the wrist so like a full in the lock falling door. It just fit. Immediately.

As soon as I sprayed it, a wonderful, delicate scent of almonds dabbed with amaretto reached my nose ... like a warm, fresh-from-the-oven marzipan tart in one of those small, exclusive bakeries in New York or Paris. Fluffy and soft and so delicious.

Yet the scent is by no means one-dimensional. In the course of the next thirty minutes, the almond is joined by a powdery-sweet, vanilla, wonderfully creamy and delicate veil of flowers that caresses and ensnares me (is that, in addition to tonka, the heliotrope, which, as I read up, is also called vanilla flower?).
As it goes on, I can also smell the star anise, but not prominently, but quite lightly and sweetly and rather background and quite fitting.
The fade is just like the whole fragrance - a delicate and gentle, slow blowing away.

The fragrance may not be suitable for all occasions on this earth due to its components (does a fragrance even do that?), yet I find the composition to be elegant and refined.

A fragrance that embraces and envelops me weightlessly, and is so comforting and soothing that I have even worn it to sleep the last few nights.

The sillage, while not exactly skin-deep, is rather intimate, I'd say. Certainly not spacey.
The durability is not overwhelming with three to four hours, but absolutely suitable for the character of this beautiful fragrance.
The pale blue bottle is unpretentious and classy in shape and color, emphasizing the delicacy of its contents.
It will move in with me soon, no question.

Candy as Candy can
I don't know why I chose this fragrance as my first review here. Maybe because he stood there so lonely without any review?

According to the manufacturer, the (the?) extract contains orange oil and mimosa,tuberose and vanilla absolute. All of which you can sniff out and results in the most beautiful cotton candy scent in the world. Imagine standing at the snack counter at the movies (well, back when you could just go to the movies) and there's a huge amount of very fresh, golden brown, warm, delicious popcorn rotating in the machine right now. Just like that. Sweet and soft and warm and tutu-puffy. A sugar-wadded pink girl's dream, just like it.

The first thing I bought from the brand back in the day was the Cotton Candy hair cream. I love that. Well, the cream and the scent. Especially the scent. When then at some point it was announced that the company is closing, the panic rat awoke abruptly and tempted me, because there was no more cream, to buy the perfume. Without the fragrance my life would be meaningless, I felt.
Thoughts about whether I would actually want to wear this fragrance as a perfume, I didn't think about it. I think most here can easily relate to that - when something beloved is in danger of soon being out of stock, such considerations play a secondary role at best.

The orange is clearly to smell in the opening, but not dominant. No, from the beginning it is in balance and symbiosis with a warm, floral-vanilla note, which moves after twenty, thirty minutes something in the foreground.
Does not change the fragrance otherwise in the course great - towards the end, when it begins to fade, one perceives mainly warm, still sweet vanilla.

The sillage, on a scale of 1-10, is about... uh, 12? So you really have to work with microscopic dosages (half a spray, or touch the bottle briefly is quite enough), if you do not want to risk that half the office falls into a sugar coma or the house cat holds a crucifix towards you if you get too close to him.
The durability effortlessly 12 hours on skin. On clothes you smell the scent even after a week.

So would I use the fragrance as a perfume now? No, rather not. I'm quite (at least when I'm in the mood) on gourmandige, sweet fragrances, but this is but something like an overkill. As a perfume mind you.

Nonetheless, this Cotton Candy scent is much appreciated and loved by me. I'm glad to have it, and I'm not sorry for a second about the money spent either.
I sometimes sniff the bottle, think "oooh, how pretty this is" and lovingly put it back in its place in the display case. Until the next time.
