Spektrum

This little water seems noble and pleasant to me at first sniff, because not overambitious.
I recognize perfect ingredients taken from nature, the petitgrain is very neroli-heavy, its delicate herb-flowery dewdrop freshness blends intimately warm and sweet with vanilla extract. Orange mixes in, but stays grown up in the background - it doesn't get too fruity-squeaky sweet. In the end the scent becomes more and more powdery, maybe there is some musk in it? It smells like a natural perfume, like homemade, but in a positive sense. For a cologne (this series is a cologne series) very sensual, for my sensation also intense and quite sweet but zero intrusive. Can last about three hours. With regard to my collection, this is perhaps a more authentic and actually everyday version of the Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrète, which suddenly seems very perfumed and attention-grabbing compared to me.
I first discovered these fragrances today at Karstadt and thought it was something new until I saw here at Parfumo that they were already old hats...There are so many variants of them that I couldn't test them all properly. Fortunately, there are some information on the fragrance on the packs for a closer pre-selection. And the names, one more auspicious than the other... this one sounds exotic-fantastic, like a country you long for, but which doesn't even exist. A parallel world freed from the coarseness of mankind, into which only the most tender souls have access.

I ordered it blind, unfortunately it is online-exclusive. I like the scent of ylang-ylang a lot, but I haven't had a perfume that has this oil as its theme yet.

Immediately after spraying on it became clear that this is again a very potent scent - intense and long-lasting.
At the beginning you can smell Ylang-Ylang and a good, strong lemon, which are soon surrounded by (probably artificial) vanilla. This vanilla is not just vanillin, but its own creamy vanilla mixture, a chemical substructure. It makes the fragrance so potent, on the other hand it covers and connects the other ingredients with each other, so that a uniform fragrance develops quite quickly, which I personally don't like very much. But most people don't like the pure smell of ylang-ylang at all, for them it might be better.
The lemon later becomes lemon cake-like in the vanilla mixture. Also the typical pleasing creamy rose-vanilla chord is smellable. I think I would like the fragrance better without the rose, it takes away the ylang-ylang's typical, not quite so pleasing, nature. Jasmine only comes through later and I can't smell sandalwood, although according to the INCI list it contains more than lemon oil.

I like the perfume, but it's not quite the ylang-ylang - full on the twelve - mixture as hoped. It is definitely only feminine and much more pleasing than many other lush fragrances. I also like to lay it out with "Mandorla".

It's not as if I haven't already tried to mix such a fragrance myself - the oil is also relatively inexpensive, even if you don't buy it from Müller or any other company, but as high-quality fractions extra-bio or complete. But in a mixture, e.g. only with citrus, it loses its flowery, heavy charisma

Today at Karstadt: Cool retro bottle, hammer fabric. Initially creamy, jasmine, slightly indolent, later. Even later: Ylang-Ylang definitely. I think I recognize gardenia, too. Just very flowery. It's not a rigid scent, there's back and forth. The bottle would do well with me (but the sticker is only a sticker).
But the smell doesn't suit me. Too many old-fashioned musk notes bother me.

I'm a woman. Follow me. (ignore the others)
We go to the cinema for a premiere in beautiful clothes, have a lot of fun, and then we sneak into a nocturnal botanical garden. Surrounded by exotic flower aromas we forget the rest of the world. The scent of the flowers excludes everything else, we succumb to it.
In the morning we wake up in the sun's rays, between crushed vanilla beans. Now our faces are as innocent as children, hungry we shake popcorn leftovers from our clothes. In the air there is a delicate hint of fruity flowery sweetness. Now what? Post-spray

After spraying on, a fruity, woody, lacy note first develops. Like in a candy store... I can't really place an interesting gourmand mix. I think musk has a strengthening effect here, too. Then it gets more and more vanilla and creamy. Fluffy-creamy. A typical, plain vanilla scent on the one hand, but on the other hand it doesn't smell cheap because there are other things playing in - no perfume oil room scent alarm needed. I feel a distant relationship to essence candy shop, but this one is more intense, more natural, more authentic, warmer, more vanilla. Do you think it smells like chestnut now? Maybe something like chestnut ice cream, but vanilla is definitely in the foreground.
I was looking for a vanilla scent to relax and maybe also to layer, and found it today (also at Müller, like Astraea).
The shelf life is good, it's been holding up for a few hours now.
The bottle is unfortunately not for unscrewing, they seem to abolish it now, hmpf.
But I am very satisfied with this flattering and unagitated companion. "Soothing" is on the box, it'll work for sure.
