The clean nomad
Musc Nomade from the house of Goutal
It is a blind order, that in front. I let me e weng seduced by the name and asked my better half for advice. The seber musk lover is meant that it could go but clear. So zack ordered and there it is.
After I have the fragrance now, I have made myself e weng about the house smartly.
Founder Annick Goutal was actually supposed to be a pianist. At least that's what her father wanted. She was talented but that wasn't what she wanted to do. During a visit to Grasse she had the desire to create her own fragrance. So she became an apprentice and opened her own house in 1980. After her early death (1999) her daughter Camille Goutal takes over the house with Isabelle Doyen and leads it further.
What makes Annick Goutal's fragrances special is the ability to layer and this is an important part of her fragrance collection.
Musc Nomade is a creation of Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. On their own site you can read this text about it
"Like a mirage, Musc Nomade is a dreamlike escape into the sumptuous world of Arabian nights. A journey into the past, when caravans transported from town to town the precious material used in the perfume rituals of Oriental princesses, who bathed their bodies and hair in a heavenly mixture of musk powder and precious essences."
The scent is very straightforward. Doesn't develop much, at least on my skin. The scent has a certain warmth to it, powdery-woody hits the spot well. It's not pungent, not sweet. More delicate, creamy, clean and light with no kick. Totally unisex. Suitable for everyone. For me, rather a late spring / summer fragrance
In the end, I can not really say whether I like or dislike the fragrance. Is it a bad fragrance? No. Is it a good fragrance? I do not know. This is the first scent I can't quite place.
I have not yet layered the fragrance. I'm trying to make friends with it first. But since it is a rather light fragrance must wait until summer.
Durability and sillage are mediocre. Is the name yet just. On a paper towel, the fragrance has held 3 days. But overall it is not a very long-lasting fragrance. I can well imagine that you can layer it well. I am curious about that. I will try that out soon

Simply enchanting
Arabesque from The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice. The name gives away the origin of the fragrance house. The house, which was founded in Venice only in 2014, actually continues the perfumery art of Venice. In fact, Venice had been creating perfumes since time immemorial. Goods from Asia and the Orient arrived in the city through the Silk Road and were used, among other things, for fragrances. Today you can visit the Perfume Museum in Venice which illustrates the ancient art of perfumery. If I find the way another time to Venice, I will not miss it in any case.
The first acquaintance with this wonderful fragrance I had at our offline meeting with a dear user whose signature scent this is. She wore this that day and I always had this wonderful scent in my nose. Eventually I had a bottling to test and eventually couldn't help but have it myself.
Top notes: ginger, tobacco leaf, plum
Heart notes: cinnamon, tonka bean, cedar
Base notes: benzoin, vetiver, musk
At the first spray comes a slightly sweetish note. Which is indebted to a mixture of the plum with the tobacco leaf. I personally can not smell out ginger specifically. As it progresses, the sweet note reaches its peak which ends just in the right place for my taste as I don't like overly sweet scents. The scent has a smoky undertone to it. All in all, it is such an excellent composition as the individual scents blend together to form a complete unit. Absolutely brilliant. As it progresses, it becomes beautifully powdery and you feel velvety dressed. Velvety would be the perfect description for this fragrance.
The scent reminds me, also oriental, not of a souk like my Blue Amber does. But rather of the desert and the Bedouins, the camels and dromedaries. This scent is sensual, mysterious and has a certain depth to it. This scent also catapults me to my travels, this time to the desert. Of the camel ride in Morocco, the sunset and when we stayed in the desert in Oman. The moonlight and the cold sand between our toes and far and wide only the mystical desert punctuated by the moonlight and the light of camp. This is arabesque.
I personally find Arabesque a unisex fragrance with the slight tendency into the feminine. Projection and durability are bombastic. After 10-11 hours, the fragrance starts to become close to the body. I would assign this fragrance to the cold and also the cooler season even if I personally don't care. But I think times that it could be in high summer e weng much.
The bottle from the Murano Collection is inspired by the Ca' d'oro Palace in Venice, which originally had a dark blue painting with golden stone carvings on the facade. The bottle is very very classy and it is one of the prettiest bottles in my small collection. And heavy it is too. On the neck hangs a palette with the name of the fragrance and the lid represents a wind rose that is engraved on the head. I must say that I am very enthusiastic about this flacon art. But also the packaging is very beautifully held.
I hope very much that in the course of time the sweetish note is not strengthened and that I can have long pleasure in the fragrance.
Thank you for reading

Amber bomb par excellence
Blue Amber from the house Montale
First, briefly about the house of Montale.
Pierre Montale, the house's head of fragrance, spends 20 years in Saudi Arabia as a court perfumer. When he returned to France in 2003, he continued to serve Arab houses with his fragrances and then opened the first store from his brand. Montale reflects his time in the Orient in his fragrances. For the Orient is his inspiration and influenced by his work there, he develops fragrances that are directly and indirectly reminiscent of the Orient.
So also this fragrance...
I have so far mur Intense Cafe of Montale tested so this is the second fragrance of Montale I could try.
In the top note, the fragrance is not yet quite noticeable. I personally find the prelude not necessarily very fresh but a certain freshness with a spicy undertone is already present. On the day where I have worn the test I found it first ok. I did not have to change clothes ? (I spray mostly on the clothes)
In the course of the fragrance develops simply heavenly in an oriental-spicy direction that I already find in the car on the way to work that it smells really good.
Throughout the day I have a warm, spicy amber note with a hint of vanilla in the nose. In the drydown, the fragrance had me then completely under its spell.
And then I knew, this is the fragrance I had hoped for Ambre Sultan. The fragrance that reminds you of the Orient holidays. I had previously tested Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens what I found quite bad. Blue Amber is on the one hand similar but has a different scent. When I close my eyes I have flahbacks from my holidays in the Emirates, Oman and Morocco. That's how much Pierre Montale has captured the orient in his fragrance. It reminds me especially of the hustle and bustle of the big market in Istanbul, the souk in Dubai and Marrakesh and once again I have wanderlust. A comforting warmth runs through me and my olfactory buds rejoice.
The day after, I smell the fragrance on my coat. I am blown away by this wonderful, great scent. And from then on I knew I had to have this.
Durability, projection and sillage are bombastic.
Amber I have very much in fragrances. With vanilla and musk, these are my top 3.
Grand Soir is a wonderful sweet amber/vanilla. Ambre Nuit a powdery, cozy amber and with Blue Amber a spicy-oriental amber. Here the vanilla is rather in the background.
The fragrance is absolutely unisex and I would assign this more for autumn and winter.
