Every year I fanatically wait for hyacinth bulbs, which I have not only in the garden, but in a bowl also in the kitchen (although they smell very intense.) Often I walk by and the scent gives me so much pleasure that I wondered what it would be like to wear it as a perfume. After some research I came across Brindille and with the help of dear Andrea I was able to test the fragrance. One thing I have to determine immediately: Brindille is an oldschool perfume, nostalgia in a bottle. Two notes dominate: Hyacinth and lilac (I look forward to lilac every year :o)) It has a pretty good Sillage and on my skin it looks a bit liqueurish, if you know what I mean. I join those who are grateful to have found such treasures through this community. I will also buy glasses in original size.

Many thanks to Andrea for the scented mail, which contained several scents. I immediately sprayed Helene. She is a thoroughly powdery scent. But let me start with a few associations: I close my eyes and see fine lace gloves, handwritten love letters, and a small room in Biedermeier style, an inherited medallion with a picture. This fragrance is for romantics. It is incredibly innocent: I actually had an aerosol for the baby's room, which smelled similar. When sprayed on, but really only then, it is still a bit "juicy", on my skin it "dries" in seconds and becomes as matt as if I had applied a luxurious body powder. I notice neroli, but mostly iris - I am so happy! I love this note! Rose I cannot guess. The sillage is as subtle as from a fragrant body powder: perceptible and close to the body. There is a ticklish little sweetness about it...is it the tonka bean? I am truly in love and will acquire the fragrance as soon as possible. Can anyone tell me why I can only find something so beautiful online?...*sigh*

I could test Dharwah with the help of my dear Irini and I am head over heels in love with Ouds in general. Well, I found this fragrance very suitable for everyday use, it harmonizes well with my skin. Today we have a colder summer evening, this is the first time I can smell the raspberry note. Strangely enough, I find many similarities to Perles de Lalique. Both are tangy, refreshing and smoky. Dharwah's got a little more body. I'm of the opinion that this is more of a women's fragrance. It has a mind lightening effect on me. I clearly recommend it to anyone, because it smells very expensive, well balanced and does not really cost much. (Sad to read is that it is no longer produced :O((). I'd appreciate it if you could meet the full S.A. brand in the store... if that ever happens? These kinds of scents fascinate me right now.

This is my very first oud fragrance, although I can imagine that it is still far away from the "real" oud. My first thought is that I am annoyed why such a treasure is kept away from us "in the country". After this scent, I personally opened the door to more oud-, or arabic-influenced scents. All of a sudden I realize what a pity it is that one hardly finds any self-managed perfumeries...But to the scent: I often distance myself from rose scents, but this one is wonderful! I also wear few syrupy droplets, but this one has just enough of them. This fragrance is like a facetted, coloured glass, whose facets sparkle in different colours, or appear matt. The fruity notes are absolutely delicate and in balance. This perfume is also suitable for younger, fashion-conscious women. The Sillage is underestimated by oneself. The durability is excellent. I love to spray it on the hair (also). I would also love to try the iris scent of Alexandre J terribly .
