Spektrum

First red then yellow fruits, unfortunately rather conventional shower gel association for me...then increasingly creamy, soft leather note, at the end a lot of musk and it reminds me strongly of Narciso. A little bit of fruit remains in the background. It lasted very long on my wrist.

This is clearly the return of the Néonatura Cocoon that fans have been longing for, unfortunately in the desolate standard flacon. I owned it back then, it was a perfume for going out, perfect for black parties in dimly lit basements. I can't tell the difference to the perfume of that time, smells exactly like my stored scent memory. At least after it has fully developed, maybe the process is a bit different
After spraying, one immediately recognizes patchouli, immediately the gothic association fully on the twelve as a top note. That's fun. Then it quickly becomes softer, slightly vanilla-sweetish and dark chocolaty.
In the shop I sprayed something on a strand of hair, that was almost too intense for me, what was blowing around me. But after about an hour or so the sillage retreated to an unpenetrant level. The base is bitter cocoa with a little bit of earth (on the paper strip, hours later), the sweetness of the tonka vanilla remains in the mix
I almost took him with me. But: I'm not particularly enthusiastic about retro, especially when it comes to my own life. I also had a special liking for fragrances that consisted of classic base notes at the time, but that has changed somewhat.
Instead, I started testing something with the So Elixir at the Y.R. store, and the jasmine immediately won me over.
But there are also days like this and days like this, which are for feminine, friendly, radiant jasmine and which are for more introverted, sensual goth scents...
And it's not autumn enough for this one either, I think

It's quite an orange-blossom cracker, unusual for a men's scent. The top note is dreamy, flowery, natural, somehow greenish (like the bottle) and slightly woody. The almost heavy flowers also contain a slight sweetness. Later, more aquatic-clean musk comes through, orange blossom and neroli are still well present, but no longer so natural. From here on I don't like it so much that I would like to have it myself, because I'm not a fan of clean scents. But he's definitely unisex. A nice freshness scent for the summer, on warm skin certainly very attractive, on paper it is a little too cool or too clean for me.

First of all very alcoholic, this perfume, like spiced rose schnapps, as if you came tipsy from the Christmas market. After two minutes then it becomes woody, smoky, and somewhat leathery. (We continue into the medieval corner of the market, where craftsmen in leather aprons do something with fire...) Then one is surprised, the craftsmen probably come from the bathhouse, have apparently cleaned themselves thoroughly with rose soap, including the undergarments. Or is it the fair maid who sits with you and fills small bags with cedar wood remains?
Patchouli doesn't appear to me, and I mean, from memory only, that this one resembles the Rose Oud of Yves Rocher, so both are twins in the base.
The whole melange remains on the skin for a long time. There's nothing sweet about it, luckily I don't get any 'typical men's perfume' synthetics in my nose, a real unisex scent. Couldn't decide whether to be more masculine or feminine accentuating. But the rose is already present. Presenter than with the twin I mentioned.
The aura overall rather cool, serious. No sweet temptation, no comforting candy.
Something different, charming with dignity, grace and nobility is offered by Rose Absolute, for the experienced Chevalier, the pharmacist in the centre of the city. I still have to decide whether it suits me, certainly not every day, and in summer rather than in winter. Rose fans should definitely try it, but it already seems to be going off the market

Although the fragrances of this brand had disappointed me so far, I had to test this beautiful flacon again. That was already two years ago, but I still remember how a foggy, dense flower cloud of musk, vanilla and patchouli ate its way into my brain. An olfactory delicacy I always wanted to enjoy. Something about it hits and hits me right in the middle of my perfume heart. The flowers in it smell rather rose nectar-sweet, even if you sniff the bottle, it smells like rose. I find the floral note of the fragrance to be quite a high-quality blend (a look at the INCI list seems to confirm this). I wouldn't have thought of orange blossom, though. I've never been able to sniff orange tree blossoms before, but those are the notes that often make perfumes smell a bit old-fashioned? Which was often mixed with vanilla, like in swan Vanderbilt or in Aura (Mugler)?
Anyway, I liked it, but at that time it was still quite expensive and I wasn't sure with it, wanted to test durability, development and long-term sympathy first. So for now, I just took the shower gel. But this didn't convince me, because after showering on the skin almost only patchouli remains.
But since this perfume has been waiting for foster parents for a long time at a reduced price at Rossi Verwaist, I had used the opportunity several times to test it extensively. The top note with the flowers lasts quite long, in the hair forever -check. Sometimes after a night you have only Patchouli on your skin, but not always, and I have shot with Patchouli again a great friendship, so -check. It is conspicuous, a statement, by the patchouli slightly gothic, and has something of incense sticks, because the base is so foggy-smoky-tight everywhere...-check. It is now almost for a ridiculous price to have -check. And the bottle is noble anyway, even though the lid is made of plastic.
So now I have it and wear it for several days in a row, fits quite well into autumn now
