Summer can come
May has arrived and in search of a new fragrance for the warm to hot days, I once again rummaged through the fragrance shelves. But I already had my certain requirements and wanted to avoid spontaneous purchases. Please not coconut and other exotic fruits and flowers from the South Seas such as ylang-ylang or tiare. And not such fresh, supposedly evergreens like bergamot, neroli and lemon. I've had a thing against 4711 since I was a child (it was the all-rounder in my childhood in the 60s) and I don't warm to the new derivatives either. With lemon, there is a great danger of smelling like a cleaning agent. Then there's the aspect of money, because I didn't want to spend that much and preferred drugstore fragrances.
There on the shelf at nose height was a new arrival from S. Oliver. A special edition and this time the horse in the equine drugstore was put to a different use. Last bottle there and into the shopping cart and then tested. I thought I could still put it back. But that wasn't the case.
The fragrance started with fresh fruits such as slightly tart melon and sweet peach. Quickly followed by delicate, yet easily perceptible lily of the valley. Shortly afterwards, rose, violet and jasmine. Floral, delicate, fresh and creamy. Rounded off with sandalwood and driftwood. A bit like the sea. Fortunately, I couldn't smell any musk. Together, a strong but unobtrusive fragrance that is reminiscent of Nivea cream. Noble, subtle, fresh, creamy, well-groomed, but not a stunner. A fragrance that can still be worn at 30 degrees in the shade without overwhelming its surroundings. Well, it doesn't last forever with its 2-3 hours, but that's bearable.
The bottle is simple and nautical with no frills. I like that kind of thing. Excellent price / performance. So summer can come for me.
