Normally I do not like fresh or fruity fragrances, except the course offers me something soft and creamy.
And that is exactly what Bright Crystal has to offer. It starts very sweet and fresh thanks to the pomegranate, later the magnolia becomes much stronger, even more perceptible than the peony. In the Drydown I smell through the musk then a wonderful sweet creaminess.
Wonderful how it caresses my nose in every facet!

I must tell a short story about this fragrance:
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was looking for a good skin care for my baby ball. Due to my pregnancy-related odour sensitivity (pregnant girls, right?!!, then finger up!!) I could only tolerate very few scents, to my great regret.
So I went to the Douglas and I looked around. A very nice saleswoman advised me and showed me a body cream from Lancaster. I liked the smell and the texture right away and- oh wonder!- it didn't make me sick!
I celebrated this cream during and after pregnancy until it was eventually taken off the market. *howl*
It's been almost 4 years now.
Some time ago I was back at the Douglas and discovered Bright Crystal. When I sniffed it, I was confused. The scent seemed so familiar, but at first I didn't know what it reminded me of.
I left the store with Bright Crystal on my wrist and very thoughtful. At some point during the day and after countless sniffing, the enlightenment came:
It's the same scent as the body cream from Lancaster that I loved so much!!!
I rushed to Douglas and immediately bought a big bottle
With this fragrance is for me this beautiful memory of my Kugelzeit forever preserved.
Thanks Versace, thanks!!!

Recently I went to the Rituals Store of my trust without any intention to buy.
I love this place because it always smells soooooo good!
A friend who works there showed me some new products, some of which quickly ended up in my shopping basket. Then I sauntered on and discovered the perfume shelf.
Of the descriptions of the fragrances, the "Elixir d'Orient" immediately appealed to me. So we grabbed some incense and led them to our noses... ...baaaah! - it was right up my alley! pfft, pfft... on the wrist... oh wooooow, does that smell guuuut!! That sweet woodiness, that warmth, that sensuality... i'm in love with this smell!
I immediately took a small bottle with me and emptied it within a month.
Meanwhile the big bottle AND a small one for the bag has moved in with me.
And thanks to the employee bonus of my girlfriend, I don't have to worry about replenishment. :-)
The scent made it into my heart in seconds!! ❤

When I was in primary school, I was allowed to choose a musical instrument that I wanted to learn.
I decided to play the simple recorder and for many years I went to music school twice a week with enthusiasm.
Every time I entered my teacher's room, a sweet woody scent blew towards me and when I started playing and inhaled deeply through my nose, this scent anchored itself in my olfactory cells.

At the beginning I perceive the cedar, which dominates the whole course, even if weakened. With time it develops into a sweet creaminess that is simply cuddly and beautiful.
The scent "Sultane L'eau Fatale" reminds me so much of my music school days, because it smells as sweet and woody as my recorder memory.

The fragrance starts strongly with ylang, which I always find a bit difficult. Pure it is too pungent for me, but in combination with vanilla it is a wonderfully harmonious blend.
The ylang retreats quickly after a few minutes and the vanilla emerges strongly, while coconut holds back and only becomes more clearly perceptible in the drydown at the very end.
I can only guess at cedar and plum at best.
The fragrance develops wonderfully warm and reminds me of a soft cuddly blanket, which you put on your couch in the evening after a long and tiring day.
It was a blind buy and I haven't regretted it for a second
If you like soft and cosy cuddly scents, this is the right place for you!
