Yuuki

Such a beautiful bottle, such a great rich color... i just had to buy it.
Actually a blind buy.
When I opened the box, I just thought to myself how beautiful this bottle looks.
So I put it on my wrist!
After spraying it on, I immediately had memories of the past, of fragrances I knew... but it was still different, the beautiful Qandeel.
So delicious, so sweet and yet so gentle. A really strong but gentle lady.
You immediately feel more feminine, at least I do.
The fruit basket of cherry, redcurrant and mandarin lies on a bed of caramel, vanilla and musk. So beautiful!
You might even think that the fragrance is not that strong, given the notes. - But it is!
You can smell the lady forever and 3 years. I could smell myself the whole time, which made me really happy, because you can quickly become nose-blind.
The H/S is amazing, the fragrance is super beautiful and the bottle is amazing!
It came to stay!

I thought about it for a long time, as I already had gourmands that go in this direction. Then I blindly bought it, unpacked it and sprayed it on - madness!

At the start, immediately after spraying, I somehow get the smell of what cola bottles used to taste like.
But it quickly becomes even sweeter and fuller. The dates and praline come out beautifully and really come to life throughout the fragrance.
This little treasure is a bit like the boozy Christmas gourmands, but completely booze-free.
The scent is simply mouth-watering from start to finish. An absolute H/S monster with a relatively linear progression if you compare it with others. Especially on clothes, it stays strong for a very long time and is wonderfully sweet and delicious! Then a little softer in the drydown.
By far the best blind buy so far.
A wonderful fragrance with brilliant performance at a really phenomenal P/L.

I can really only recommend it for those who like delicious gourmands.

After all the hype and my new enthusiasm for Lattafa, I was very excited about this creation.
I waited for it and then it was finally available, and I even got a bargain.
Immediately afterwards, it was already sold out.
So I was all the more excited to receive my package.
Finally arrived, opened: beautiful packaging, great presentation for the price and then the bottle! What a beautiful bottle!
Lid off and held towards my wrist... in my head a "please please please"
I immediately noticed a relatively strong scent: The bitter almond and pink pepper together start very strongly. My head really had to work a bit because I was a bit confused. The scent was much darker than I had expected.

The corners of my mouth moved down a little... a "pity" almost crossed my lips when I smelled my hand again... OH? Wait.... wait....

Then the caramel came through and slowly the apricot with honey! WOW!
This twist after a few minutes is so delicious and elegant.
It's still not a super soft caramel, because the really relaxed leather note still brings in some edge, but honestly:

The drydown is heavenly!
I would not have expected such a strong change.
This fragrance is so... different... that I sometimes smell something different at the start, depending on the time of day or the weather. Super exciting.

This is not a crowdpleaser in that sense, but it's really worth waiting for the drydown!
Like a caramelly honey-musk silk scarf and sooo beautiful!

I don't regret the blind buy!

I usually prefer it a little stronger, sweeter with a strong sillage ...

She was the only one that was so soft and feminine, yet became a signature for a few years.
lei/elle/she/ella... was the only perfume that found a home with me, which was the epitome of powderiness.
She was different from the others... and even today it is still something special, something special.

It's not entirely clear to me why the classification doesn't also say fruity, because the fruits are already clearly there and last a good while.
With this perfume, you have a very feminine, powdery, sweet silk scarf around you.
The projection is of course not as strong.
This perfume simply makes you feel more delicate, more feminine, more fragile (without meaning that in a bad way), more refined.

I wore it back when I was at university and bought it several times...
even though I had the impression when I tested it again earlier that the formula had been tweaked a little, I'm considering buying it again.

I think it has been forgotten so much that it could be given a revival.
If you like powdery scents, you could give it a chance.

10 years ago, as if fate had guided me, I wandered into the perfumery in search of something new. This pink bow (yes, it looks like a bow to me ^^) caught my eye. I immediately grabbed this bottle. The look alone and how incredibly good it felt in the hand was a dream.
After a little sniff of the spray head, I turned the bottle in my direction for the first time and sprayed it on my décolleté. Perfect!
This moment was like an epiphany.
I was immediately so happy and thrilled.
Expensive for a student back then? Yes... i don't care? - YES! Size? - Give me everything!
I don't think I've ever bought a fragrance so quickly.

I can't count how many times I've walked backwards just to smell myself because of this perfume.

The fragrance itself starts off very pleasantly fruity and sweet and gradually becomes more delicate and caramel-like, even a little creamier.
There are some caramel notes that are so pompous that you get a bit of a headache, but not with Bonbon. A super flattering fragrance, very pleasant and not overpowering with a wonderful sillage.

If there was one fragrance I had to choose to wear for the rest of my life, it would be this one!

All the more reason for me to have a heart attack when I was looking for the new Flowerbomb flanker at the beginning of this year, i.e. the release date... and there on the official Viktor&Rolf website was exactly what I had been afraid of for years.

" We regret to inform you that this product has been discontinued"

First silence... then panic... i could hardly close my mouth... That's not really happening now, is it?
First ordered another backup and then waited...

Obviously I wasn't the only one who reacted like this, because it's back on the V&R site as normal! They've now discontinued the body wash and body lotion, which were yuck anyway ^^
I was already grieving, but thank God they have withdrawn it! My poor heart!!!

Bonbon, simply perfect. I wouldn't want to miss it.
