A fragrance with two faces: directly on the skin, I find it very interesting, deep, and high-quality. In the sillage, however, it takes on a very masculine character for me, which strongly reminds me of classic aftershave. A high-quality scent, but for my personal taste, a bit too edgy and masculine in its projection.

For me, Brume du Matin is the definition of a feminine, well-groomed floral fragrance. The opening is pleasantly calm; a soft mandarin note provides a friendly, slightly fresh start without being overly sparkling or loud. What follows is an incredibly gentle, floral scent trail that is exactly my kind of thing. The peony feels light as a feather and is wonderfully rounded off by a velvety peach note. It is subtle, understated, and radiates an aura of natural confidence. It is not perceived as a heavy 'perfume', but as the wonderfully well-groomed personal scent of a woman with style. Anyone who loves transparency and noble restraint will find their happiness here.

A beautiful, radiant fragrance for everyone seeking the ultimate in cleanliness. Compared to the original, the Extrait is significantly longer-lasting and more present on the skin. It feels cooler and focuses entirely on that radiant 'freshly washed' aura with an almost crystalline purity. While the original appears slightly creamier and sweeter (like freshly applied lotion) due to the vanilla, the Extrait is a statement of straightforwardness and freshness. A successful fragrance, even if for me personally, the original is ahead due to its softer note and value for money. However, if you are looking for a long-lasting fresh scent, you have come to the right place!

Valaya Exclusif envelops me in a soft, warm cloud of fragrance. For me, it is more present than my usual scents, but remains absolutely pleasant and never overpowering thanks to the fine vanilla sweetness and creamy texture. It doesn't just smell like 'fresh laundry', but has a noble, soft depth without any rough edges. A perfect everyday companion for everyone looking for sophisticated fragrances with heart and warmth.

A wonderfully round and subtly sweet leather fragrance. The opening is bright, sparkling, and spicy, but after a short time, it clings like a second skin. The fine leather is very soft and elegantly interwoven, accompanied by a very subtle, sophisticated fruitiness. An absolutely supple and discreet scent for everyone who appreciates understatement and a high-quality aura. For me, the perfect, sophisticated version of a skin scent.

Narjesi Fleur does not seem old-fashioned at all, but rather very contemporary. It has a light, pleasant synthetic quality that gives it a special radiance. A truly successful companion for rose fans looking for something special. Unfortunately, I have also fallen in love with this fragrance. The "unfortunately" is due to the high price.

Riviera Lazuli starts off wonderfully fresh and zesty for me. Shortly after, these exciting mineral notes join in, giving the whole thing depth. But what thrills me most is the drydown: the fragrance develops a wonderful creaminess. Even on extremely hot days, I feel well-groomed with it, like I've just come out of the shower and then applied a luxurious lotion. A great companion that perfectly combines freshness and gentle comfort.

A luxurious, exotic companion for hot summer days. The opening with juicy melon is wonderfully refreshing but quickly transforms into a very creamy, almost tropical experience. On my skin, Counterplay develops at 32° like an incredibly sophisticated sunscreen – well-rounded, balanced, and very elegant thanks to the floral heart notes. A modern 'sun scent' that puts you in a good mood!

Love at First Sight is a very beautiful, authentic lilac scent for me, which fortunately doesn't seem old-fashioned at all. At the beginning, the lilac is very present and clearly recognizable, but is captured wonderfully soft and modern by the mimosa. As it develops, the perfume turns into a very dry, powdery skin scent that reminds me of the comforting cleanliness of dry soap. It is a very pleasant, linear companion for spring days that doesn't require much thought. Although it is a charming fragrance, it doesn't quite spark that final connection for me.

The fragrance starts with a wonderfully clear and high-quality citrus freshness. What particularly impressed me was that this effervescence remains present for a surprisingly long time, while something very soft and creamy joins in over time, reminding me of fine almonds. Alid develops a gentle sweetness that is never heavy, but instead ensures that the fragrance literally hugs the skin. A subtle, well-groomed warmth emerges. For me, it is a beautiful balance of summer freshness and a noble, creamy softness.

Villa Primerose is the definition of class for me. The fragrance opens with a crystal-clear, bright rose and a sparkling spice that is immediately present. I was particularly fascinated by the transformation: it becomes wonderfully smooth over time and evokes the feeling of a fine, powdery leather glove – highly elegant and luxurious. The fragrance has an impressive sillage and aura, yet remains pleasantly airy and never gets too heavy. It is a masterful composition of excellent quality that radiates pure luxury. An ideal companion for cool summer days or moments when you want to project a confident presence.

Fleur des Fleurs is not a loud floral bouquet, but a very fine, rather subtle fragrance. The floral note is present but not overpowering. Especially striking is a woody sweetness that does not taste like vanilla but comes from saffron. Together with the dark woods and oud, this gives the whole composition a beautiful structure and warmth that almost reminds one of soft suede. Overall, the scent is very creamy and stays close to the skin. A truly well-balanced companion that impresses more through its calmness than through opulence.

The opening of Nuda Veritas absolutely thrilled me: a radiant veil of mineral and citrusy freshness, exactly what I had hoped for for the summer! Unfortunately, this sparkling effect evaporates far too quickly. After only about 10 minutes, floral notes move in and the fragrance retreats very quietly onto the skin. In the end, I was left with the feeling of freshly washed laundry. A beautiful skin scent, but just not the long-lasting, radiant sillage I was looking for. The opening was definitely the highlight for me; the heart and the base were personally too quiet and too 'clean' for my taste.

In Pacific Rock Flower, I have finally found the perfect counterpart to Pacific Rock Moss, which I love so much on my husband. On my skin, this fragrance develops completely without lemon; instead, a wonderful floral sweetness and a present minerality dominate. The texture is wonderfully airy and fresh, like a radiant aura surrounding me instead of lying heavily on the skin. Directly on the skin, I perceive the salty note, while the sweet floral lingers in the air. It is rather linear and without major twists, which makes it perfect for warm days. For me, it is the ideal feminine companion for summer, especially when it gets really hot!

The opening is cool, clean, and wonderfully sparkling, almost like a silky refreshment that makes me feel instantly awake and energized. Over time, the effervescence fades and the scent becomes softer, revealing a subtle floral sweetness that never feels heavy. It does not sit heavily on the skin but wafts around you like a fine fabric. For me, this is a perfect, elegant signature fragrance for everyday wear and formal occasions – detached, noble, and absolutely timeless.

A fragrance that requires patience: After a cool, detached opening, Azya Nabro transforms after about 20 minutes into a wonderfully snug warmth. Particularly fascinating is the dry-woody sweetness that gets by entirely without the typical vanilla. Along with a subtle patchouli depth, the scent feels extremely elegant, sophisticated, and never loud. For me, it is an ideal, poised companion for the business environment or everyday life in autumn and on cooler days.

An absolutely impressive evening fragrance. I chose London for my husband and I am thrilled. It has a fantastic sillage; you can perceive it very well in the room without it being intrusive (one should just dose carefully). Although I don't wear it myself, I can say that it is extremely long-lasting; it effortlessly accompanies him through the entire evening. For me, the perfect scent for special occasions when you want to show character.

Sacred Bond opens with a wonderfully juicy combination of raspberry and mandarin. What makes it special for me is that despite the fruity notes, it never drifts toward being like a child's candy. A finely woven, slightly metallic spiciness (saffron) keeps the sweetness perfectly in check. The transition to caramel in the base is fluid and feels more like a high-quality dessert than sticky sugar. The scent doesn't fill the entire room; instead, it settles around you like a fine, clearly perceptible veil.

A very sophisticated fragrance that convinces me with its cozy sweetness of vanilla and tonka. Especially exciting is the 'rustic', almost smoky facet of the roasted tonka bean, which gives the sweetness a tart depth. Over time, the scent transforms on me from a soft richness to a rather dry-powdery sensation. A great companion for cool days or the evening.

A beautiful soft evening fragrance that brings a fluffy warmth. I can't imagine it in the midday sun, but for the evening it exudes a certain luxury. It is powdery-dry, mature, and elegant. It is not overly loud or intrusive, but through a very beautiful aura, it is repeatedly perceptible as a hint with every movement. A great fragrance to feel present.
