Unlike many cloyingly sweet cherry scents, this one is wonderfully mature. A juicy, red cherry soaked in the finest rum. Despite the darker facets of tobacco and a mystical smokiness, the fragrance maintains an astonishing elegance and lightness. It is present and mysterious, but never intrusive or overwhelming. Even for someone like me, who normally doesn't wear heavy evening fragrances, this is a fascinating discovery that can be worn beautifully in a bar or on special occasions without feeling like wearing a costume.

Contre ta Peau reveals a wonderful warmth immediately upon the first spray, without feeling heavy. For me, it is not gourmand, but instead radiates an elegant, floral warmth that clings perfectly to the skin. An ideal companion for cooler summer days or autumn. A fragrance that brings warmth but retains its lightness. A very noble everyday companion.

For me, it was love at first sniff! Oréncie greets you with an incredibly clean, well-groomed, and almost innocent opening that immediately conveys a sense of comfort. It is a beautiful, soft composition that gently becomes more floral as it develops. Particularly fascinating is how the musk frames the delicate rose and keeps it in check, giving the fragrance an extremely fine and noble structure. It never feels intrusive, but simply pure and luxurious, like a second skin. For me, it is an absolute candidate for repurchase that fits perfectly into everyday life and simply makes you happy.

A high-quality artisanal fragrance that leaves me feeling conflicted, however. Directly on the skin, the opening with yuzu and ginger is very authentic, fresh, and zesty. In the sillage, however, a disturbing, almost synthetic veil develops for me, which I associate with a 'squeaky' cherry, likely the interplay of cherry blossom and lychee. CIO CIO SAN definitely smells of quality, but this specific, artificial-seeming fruit freshness is simply not my thing.

The Cora starts present, bright and wonderfully radiant floral. The composition is masterfully balanced: one senses the depth of the light blossoms, while a very subtle spice (clove) gives the whole structure without dominating. The transformation after about an hour is particularly spectacular. The initial opulence recedes and the fragrance becomes surprisingly soft, calm and wonderfully creamy. What begins powerfully ends in a luxurious, close-to-skin feel-good moment. A very high-quality fragrance for all those who value quality and a noble aura.

An absolute all-rounder for every day! The opening is a wonderfully fresh, authentic apricot that transitions into a soft, floral creaminess after about 20 minutes. Particularly great: it never becomes too floral – the suede gives the fragrance a velvety base that makes it appear incredibly well-groomed and sophisticated. It develops into a skin-scent companion that makes you feel like you've just applied lotion all day long. Perfect for anyone looking for subtle, high-quality elegance.

Salem starts with a wonderfully fruity and sparkling opening that feels absolutely pleasant and awakening. After about an hour, the fragrance undergoes a fascinating transformation: it becomes soft, rounded, and the sandalwood unfolds its full, warming splendor. Although it is often considered a summer fragrance, it possesses a remarkable depth without appearing heavy or mystical. A masterful balance between freshness and woody warmth.

Initially very smoky and resinous and almost too demanding, the fragrance develops after about 20 minutes into a well-rounded, warm, and smooth entity. The floral note and a subtle creaminess make it significantly more accessible. Even if it isn't quite 'me' at the moment, I'm starting to understand it. An exciting candidate to get to know more intensively in the autumn.

I ordered Ginger for my husband as a fragrance for the office and for very hot summer days, and it is absolutely perfect for that! The fragrance is incredibly fresh and has a great, clearly noticeable sillage without ever appearing heavy. It radiates a well-groomed energy that is very pleasant, especially in the heat. My husband and I are both thrilled. A clear 5-star fragrance for everyone looking for high-quality, modern freshness!

This fragrance was my husband's clear favorite from the last discovery set. Percival is a true all-rounder for me that simply always works, whether in the office or for more elegant occasions. It has this masculine, well-groomed freshness that feels extremely high-quality and will likely appeal to everyone who encounters it. A safe choice for every day that simultaneously radiates a great presence. My husband loves it, and I love smelling it on him!

I ordered this fragrance for my husband and I am absolutely thrilled! For me, Pacific Rock Moss is the epitome of summer freshness. It is clearly noticeable and radiates a great vitality without ever appearing intrusive or sharp. It has this wonderful, relaxed aura, perfect for warm days. A scent that I simply love on him!

Dorisma feels very balanced and well-rounded to me. No single note pushes itself unpleasantly to the foreground; instead, a harmonious overall impression is created. The fragrance combines a light freshness with a soft sweetness and floral nuances. It feels high-quality and present, but not intrusive. For me, it is a classic "people pleaser" – a scent that is likely to appeal to many because it has a bit of everything without heading in any extreme direction.

Initially, the fragrance surprises with an almost nostalgic, soapy rose that made me hesitate at first. But those who are patient are rewarded: after about 15 minutes, the notes blend into an incredibly well-rounded, cozy overall impression. It smells of pure elegance and comfort, like a soft sweater on a cool autumn day. A fragrance that doesn't scream, but instead becomes one with the wearer. I simply can't stop smelling my arm!

Byzance was love at first spray for me. The composition feels incredibly harmonious and clings gently to the skin. In the beginning, I perceive a slightly zesty blackcurrant, which is later complemented by a soft leather note. The fragrance feels warm, elegant, and incredibly cozy, especially on cooler days. For me, it is an absolute feel-good scent and one of the most beautiful discoveries of recent times.

Sonic Flower is a very straightforward fragrance that, for me, smells primarily like cosmetics. It starts directly with a very dry powdery note. In the first moments, a slight tingling from the pepper is still perceptible, but otherwise, the fragrance remains almost completely linear throughout its entire course. After about an hour and a half, it simply becomes a bit softer on the skin. The association with a powder puff is very present. Overall, it is a modern, unexcited fragrance that simply makes you feel clean and well-groomed.

Southern Bloom starts with a prominent floral bouquet, but becomes significantly creamier and more harmonious after about 20 minutes due to the warm woods. For me, it is the perfect transitional fragrance for moderate temperatures - summery, but with enough substance for cooler days. In high heat, it quickly feels too opulent.

For me, Levant is the perfect fragrance for sunny days. Fresh, radiant, and full of lightness, it accompanies me through spring and summer. It feels uncomplicated, elegant, and puts me in a good mood every time. One of those scents that you just love to wear.

I really like the fresh opening with mandarin and lime. The freshness initially fades quite quickly, and the fragrance develops into a creamy skin scent. At first, the projection was a bit too low for me. However, with a higher dosage, the lime remains noticeable for longer, and the fragrance feels fresher, zestier, and significantly more present overall.

To me, Nut is a clean, creamy skin scent that will certainly appeal to many people. Unfortunately, there is a note that resonates on my skin which I can't warm up to and which accompanied me throughout the entire time I wore it. The fragrance seems well-groomed and understated, but for me, it doesn't manage to create that feeling of well-being that I desire from a skin-close scent. For me, the connection to the skin is missing; instead of a second skin, it remains a beautiful but distant fragrance. Furthermore, I already have fragrances in this category that appeal to me much more.

Sun Bleached strikes me as surprisingly different from my memory of it. Instead of being boring or trivial, I now find it creamy, clean, and very pleasant from the very first moment. It conveys a sense of well-being and feels like a fragrance one would enjoy wearing after a shower or on relaxed days. It is less spectacular than it is soothing, and that is precisely its appeal.
