Chocolate and I have developed an unhealthy relationship (at least for me) ;-)

This is not only noticeable in my figure, but also in the choice of individual perfumes in my collection. What makes me fat, I also want to smell like ;-)

Chocolate Greedy came into my perfume closet last year.
I like the Montale flacon, he has got yes with some a rather unaesthetic position. I like the purist design.

To the fragrance:

Schoki, delicious, rich, fine (rather Edelbitter than whole milk)
In addition still fast a bite of orange in the mouth, Hmmmmmm :-)
Worth every calorie ;-)
Of course, the sweet tooth remains very present and rises again and again in the nose. Another bite during the day? No, that would be too much of a good thing, moderation.

Well, now and then I can be tempted to a second bite, human.
But then the gluttony with me usually takes revenge with an occurring metal note which spoils me the sweet tooth then something and makes it scratchy :(
Punishment must be, that was the bite on the aluminum foil, OUCH :((

I am aware of the danger of making myself unpopular with die-hard LV disciples now, but: NO RISK, NO FUN ;-)

I had managed (after what felt like an hour of artificial waiting in front of an LV boutique) to penetrate into the interior of the temple of leather goods (YAAAAA, a lot of LV is not made of LEATHER, I KNOW!)
Quite hectic hustle and bustle, reminded more of a market hall ;-)

My goal was the since 2016 relaunched fragrance range of LV. Nicely presented, I must say.
Uncharacteristic for me was that I only tested 2 fragrances:
Dans le Peau and Apogée.

Under the skin ;-) went me BOTH NOT.

Apogée started off flowery. Flowery. Autre chose? Unfortunately, NO. Flowers, and magnolias try to steal the show from lilies of the valley. Aha, aaall clear.
Still quickly something on the wrist, maybe something changes?
After about 1h wandered my nose once again towards the left wrist, and began to look :/
Where did the Fleurop messenger put the bouquet then, he was just there?!
Mentally, the first thing that came to my mind was: And for that 225€?

I end my comment times so: Each dried flower bouquet smells better, and longer ;-)
Possibly I am not a flower person?

Marly fragrances belong, in my view, in the typical series of "Les Parfums deluxe francaise".

Pegasus is a very worthy ambassador for the brand!
It came into my collection (alongside HEROD, another Marly) 1 year ago.
Well, the maître d'écurie is really surrounded by very noble and temprament horses ;-)

Pegasus needs an experienced rider, who asserts himself, but at the same time recognizes and uses Pegasus's nature and strengths, also gets involved with him a bit.
The ride always starts with a lot of momentum and power, Pegasus is a true muscleman and always with Zunt in the blood. Movement is his strength! Proudly he shows himself in the ride, he wants to please, head up and tail elegantly placed. Indoor riding is not for him, he must be outside, visible to the world.

He doesn't like to be slowed down, but it works, depending on the experience of the rider ;-)

Of course, Pegasus is not the disdainful, normal stable smell attached, it accompanies one on meadows and fields always chords of lavender. After about 2h ride, his movements become almost floating, but never slower!
On the way back to the stables, I notice strangely very familiar notes that remind me of a cream ;-) My sign for: It was another great day on the back of Pegasus, A bientôt, fière et belle :-)

Since I was 13, Coco has been as present in my mother's bathroom as altar boys are in a Catholic service...

Today, it amazes me. Normally I always heard:" Too sweet I do not like."
Monsieur Polge must have somehow managed to manipulate my mother's nose forever ;-)
She uses the fragrance regularly, and as soon as the last third in the bottle is recognizable it is automated: "Order me that again."

Self-deception as the most beautiful deception? ;-) Coco is for me above all one thing: SWEET! And exactly the zeitgeist of the mid-eighties sprung, always as a model carrier the ladies from "Denver Clan" before eyes ;-)

The fragrance polarizes, takes up space, but despite everything never seems "cheap" or "to much", it is a given authority he possesses and of which he was probably never aware, it IS SIMPLE SO.
All too sensitive "noses" however, can easily panic under this olfactory personality ;-) But, to a COCO, this only reinforces his aura:
"Here I am, here I stay. One shows me the doubter of it."

A little user manual for those who want to scent themselves beyond the confines of Southfork Ranch:
Apply the appropriate body lotion and then the fragrance as a veil to top it off.
You will make the air shimmer ;-)

Besides Vert Malachite And Ambre Eccentrico the 3rd Armani Privé fragrance in my collection :-)

Often it is said: The first two attempts are still delicate, the last attempt is then the impact.

Here it is exactly the other way round in my order :-) Musc Shamal is the fluffy floral powdery musk cloud, on which a small, golden angel sits that has a sugary sweet child's smile.
On the other two clouds sit more the angels of the genera "Looking for trouble?" and "To much of a good thing is just wonderful" ;-)

Translated: Musc Shamal is a delicate, but quite present musk-vanilla dream, quite, well-dosed, office-suitable, but also, more lushly used, suitable for the larger appearance.

My Musc-have from now on :-)
