Reviews, questions, and discussions from fragrance enthusiasts
A complex chocolate scent that is surprisingly wearable. For me, it appears slightly smoky, rather dry, and almost powdery. Since the first test, it has been an absolute favorite for the winter season. The longevity is very high, and over time, more vanilla comes through. In my opinion, unisex.
An absolutely magical Akigalawood molecule fragrance. You definitely have to like Akigalawood and absolutely test the scent on your skin, as a test on paper is not sufficient here. Absolutely unisex.
Unfortunately, it wasn't my scent. I was already looking for a citrusy-fresh fragrance, and the patchouli note here was too dominant.
This fragrance is a great summer companion, impressing with its citrus freshness and a subtle pear note. It is also ideal for the office.
This fragrance smells extremely delicious! It reminds a bit of chewy caramel candy and is definitely super creamy and caramelly. It also suits men excellently; my son loves it very much.
A wonderful scent! It starts fresh and develops an intense, feminine aura after a few hours. It's not intrusive, but rather slightly mysterious - perfect for an evening date.
This truly successful fragrance is a real compliment magnet, for which I have been approached multiple times. It is light yet very memorable, which perfectly underlines its feminine note. Even applied sparingly, it lasts for hours.
A wonderful, clean scent. It develops wonderfully and only gets better with time. Ideal for an elegant, well-groomed 'Clean Girl Chic'.
This beautiful, boozy fragrance is perfect for the warm season. I even consider it Schwarzlose's best creation and can recommend it without reservation!
The scent is undoubtedly good and somehow special. Personally, however, it becomes a bit too much for me over time. The longevity, however, is impressive – you definitely don't need the Extrait version.
My new favorite fragrance for cozy winter. It's a sweet, vanilla-like fireplace wood scent. It is similar to "By the Fireplace" by Maison Margiela, but a bit more pleasant, rounder, and not quite as smoky. Definitely try it if you love guaiac wood (even if it's not listed).
Sometimes it takes so little to impress. Fico Nero offers a juicy, ripe fig, straight from the tree, accompanied by a light hint of coconut. That's Fico Nero – no more, but certainly no less. A fragrance that immediately brings to mind warm, sunny days and simply brings joy. On my skin, it reliably lasts 7-8 hours and becomes a bit creamier over time. The sillage is good and absolutely appropriate for the fragrance profile. To make it suitable for the colder months as well, it layers excellently with a warm vanilla scent – a reason why I couldn't wait until summer to buy it!
From the very first minute, I was completely smitten! This fragrance exudes incredible warmth, perfect for the cold season. It presents itself as an unsweet and non-sticky, warm-spicy gourmand. The opening is intensely nutty, followed by a soft-creamy, slightly powdery progression. On my skin, the fragrance lasts about 6-7 hours and is then subtly perceptible for a few more hours. On clothes, it even remains present until the next day. The sillage is good but unobtrusive, making it wearable in everyday life with appropriate dosage. Although its special notes might not make it a universally pleasing scent – my environment is rather divided here – for me, it embodies pure warmth and security. It will certainly bring me a lot of joy this winter.
I tested this fragrance and can't get enough of it. The combination of orange blossom, vanilla, and caramel is fantastic. Sweet, floral, and a delicate tart note. This will be my new favorite for spring. It easily lasted 12 hours on me.
A beautiful, almondy gourmand. Although no almond is listed as a fragrance note, the iris and sour cherry together create an almond-like impression. The iris here is not overly powdery; instead, the scent is slightly sweet and decidedly gourmand.
Do you know that feeling: You think of a fictional character and wonder what they might smell like? No? Just me? Okay then. But that's how it started. I had hoped to find a fragrance that would reflect Trinity from The Matrix. Unfortunately, this one isn't quite it. What Etat Libre D'Orange did manage to do really well, however, is to create a quasi-skin scent that doesn't smell entirely human. But that can also be a disadvantage; because if you spray too much of this fragrance, it has something pungent in the background that reminds you of plastic. And that, at least for me, unfortunately causes headaches. So do yourself a favor and learn from my mistakes: Less "dousing yourself" and more trusting the sillage of the perfume. Because otherwise, this fragrance is truly something special.
My English is actually very good, but I always have to read this label twice. If you had held this scent under my nose and said "it contains vanilla," I wouldn't have believed you. That doesn't mean much, because 1. vanilla is versatile, and 2. my nose has been smelling things differently from others for some time now, but I even smelled the ginger. Don't worry, it's present but doesn't hit you in the face. What I don't understand is why this perfume is listed with a masculine gender tendency, because it is definitely pure unisex. I'm not really into "citrusy" scents, but whether it's my nose or just the incredibly good blend, Ingenious Ginger is simply something great. An all-rounder that masters the tightrope walk between unobtrusive and unforgettable incredibly well.
You probably know those influencers who supposedly had people chasing after them to ask what amazing fragrance they were wearing. Well. I'm no influencer and that has never happened to me, but when I wore this fragrance at work, my colleague fell so in love with it that she immediately went out and bought it for herself the very next weekend. I smell neither the tea nor the fig here (thanks, Covid) and I have no idea why Parfinity says the gender tendency is masculine, but damn it smells good. If I had to describe it, I'd say it's light, a little bit floral, and somehow... "cuddly"? One of those fragrances you can wear all year round.
because my nose is weird but when I smell Black Caviar by Electimuss, I suddenly feel like a child again and we are by the sea in France. The scent is somehow salty, yes, but not necessarily sand and sea breeze; for that, it is neither mineral nor "aquatic" enough. It has something warm, a little bit "green". I think that's why it reminds me of France. On one side there is the sea, but back there, on the other side of the dune, there is a forest. And I am somewhere in between. I know it's a memory you don't share with me, but you should really smell this perfume; maybe then you'll understand what I mean. I'm glad I bought it.
The scent is sweet and you can smell the praline very well. I like the mix of vanilla, cocoa, rum, and sandalwood. Although the description says the scent should be masculine, I find it wonderfully delicious and pleasant as a woman too. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for something unique and sweetly warming. I'm thrilled.
