A great memory
This perfume was one of the first that completely captivated me. Maybe it was due to the fact that I got to know it, but it fascinated me from the first moment on!

At the time it seemed very mysterious, warm, flattering and somehow simply delicious. I had never smelled such a fragrance before and decided to buy a bottle as soon as possible.

In the 90s, Trésor was, next to Jil Sander No. 4 and Sun (in the men's Cool Water by Davidoff), simply a fragrance you couldn't get past. Today, the original version is too demure and well-behaved for me, because of the lovely fruits and vanilla it seems too childish to me with my almost 50 years, but it remains a nice memory. It is also still a great fragrance, warm and sensual, but no longer for me. After a lot of rummaging around here I will have a closer look at the various "grandchildren" of the Ur-Trésor, maybe there is something nice for me?

My first Narciso
I was recommended this fragrance by the already mentioned Pafum saleswoman, she said it was something completely different, not like the usual perfumes. I had never heard of Narciso Rodriguez before, but that didn't stop me from experimenting.

At the first contact with the EdT I thought like this: Nääää, that is too extreme for me. But as the devil would have it, the flacon found its way to me anyway and I have no regrets. For me it is not a fragrance for every day and I had to be in the mood for it, but it definitely had that certain something. When I was in the mood, I liked to wear it very much and I got the odd compliment for it. The other day I even thought about buying it again, but the world of perfume is so big that I would rather try something new. But all in all it's a nice interesting fragrance with many facets

A dream - or how can something go so wrong?
I know, a very funny headline but from the front....

This scent came to me in the form of a sample (one like this for misers, where you can test max. 1 x). I applied the scent and only thought: This is HE! How can something smell so beautiful? So I bought it directly. Let my husband sniff it, who only said that it was not his, but I didn't care. This scent awakened a childhood memory that I can neither grasp nor name exactly, but I thought it was great. When I bought it, it was summer and I found it incredibly fresh and beautiful. Similar to my Sensai Silk a light feeling of freshly washed laundry. The white flowers surrounded me with their delicate shimmer and I felt like in paradise.

Now the scent has been slumbering in my cupboard for a long time and I could not remember it exactly. I smelled the bottle for a moment and I thought to myself before going to bed: you'll treat yourself to it tonight as a "bedtime treat". No sooner said than done, beautifully wrapped in this fresh cloud with the nostalgic childhood feeling, I went to bed. So while I was lying in bed and still looking for new delicacies on Parfumo, I asked myself why I hadn't used this perfume for so long, since it is obviously exactly mine?

Unfortunately, the question was clarified when I tried to find my way to sleep, because the scent, which just a moment ago had brought back nice childhood memories, slowly turned into a shrill, unpleasantly pungent smell, which I cannot even quantify exactly. I have no idea whether it is the musk, the cashmeran or some other flower that pierces my nose, but it became so unbearable that I got a headache and got up in the middle of the night to get rid of this smell. As already mentioned several times here, the durability of this scent is quite good, so that also the washing up was not the only thing that was successful. To trick my nose a little bit, I sprayed my wrists with Chanel Chance Eau Tendre after a thorough wash and could finally fall asleep.

To be honest, I'm shocked myself today and have no idea if I had a similar effect the first time I used my flacon and didn't notice it so crassly because it happened morning/daytime and therefore under distraction. Maybe that was also the reason why the fragrance had been standing unused in my cupboard for many weeks? Or was my nose hypersensitive last night? I have no idea, but at least my need for Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc is now thoroughly covered. My head needs to recover. Nevertheless, I hope that my nose got lost yesterday, because as I said, I really, really like the scent, at least the first 2 hours at .....

How does that work?
This fragrance found its way to me in the form of a sample and I thought: wow, what a beautiful fragrance. While I was already looking online for prices for this water, the scent changed, but above all it weakened very quickly. What remained was unfortunately only a very synthetic smell, really almost like plastic. This had nothing more to do with the beautiful flowery fruity lightness of the beginning and I had to say goodbye to the purchase. I really do not want to smell like plastic..... Actually, it's a pity, the flacon is also beautiful, it could have been something with and for both, but it wasn't meant to be.

My first Guerlain
My first and so far only Guerlain who remains, was recommended to me by the saleswoman. I have bought him again, this time with 100 ml from the offer. Since he has to share my closet with at least 10 other perfumes, my bottle will probably last forever

About the fragrance itself: I find it very appealing, flowery on the one hand but also mysterious on the other. Unfortunately I can't describe the individual components professionally, so I'll try to describe the effect of Insolence in simple terms. Freshly applied the floral notes are immediately appealing to me, I hardly smell any fruit, but there must be something, because the fragrance does not seem powdery to me. The iris comes out pretty quickly, accompanied by the rose. At the beginning everything was quite unspectacular. What I find most fascinating about Insolence is what remains. A mysterious warm scent, which appears very elegant and feminine, sweet but not too sweet, flowery but not suffocating and with that certain extra. Of course it looks different on everyone, but I find Insolence as a feminine and mysterious fragrance, which gives its wearer a touch of elegance and femininity. Very beautiful for autumn and winter. The durability is very good for me, sprayed on in the morning it is still perceptible in the evening, on clothes even for days.
