  This collection of Alpine tales, rescued from oblivion by students who found the solitary author in a cabin in the Austrian Alps, marks the return of the enigmatic Chunhua Luli. The protagonists are wild animals, but the tender lessons go straight to the human heart. In the main story, a young fox becomes obsessed with a butterfly and learns the dangers of infatuation. Other themes include relentless ambition, the importance of beautiful objects, serenity, and positive thinking. Forty years after its debut, Luli reminds us that we are all animals, connected by an expansive and changing ecosystem far larger than ourselves.

  After using it several times and reading the backstory, I’ll say this: it opens like a bouquet of wilted flowers and evolves into a clean, soapy unisex scent. It smells good, but in any market there’s a gift zone with ordinary decorative soaps. They’re super cheap, shaped like elephants or seahorses, and smell nice. It’s cheap perfumed soap that smells clean. It would be ideal for the gym, as it doesn’t bother anyone. Conclusion: it smells good, but it smells like a cheap little bar of soap 🙃

  Sometimes I laugh at how complex people describe a scent that is… simple. This perfume is cheap soaps, any drugstore soap, or the perfume kits older people use. That’s all there is. It’s that jasmine/tulip scent that drowns everything out, with no honey or mountain air or incense. Over time, those flowers fade and it remains clean/soapy—pleasant, but it doesn’t envy any other soap. Honestly, it’s not worth it, neither for the price nor for what you’d expect from a niche/experimental fragrance.

  Pum! Opens with aldehydes reminiscent of Chanel No. 5, followed by a soapy note that surprises with its warmth; it dries down to a hippie incense (in a good way) that sweetens it just enough to keep the aldehydes from screaming, plus some wildflowers. Almost bought it blind, but I’m glad I tested it first—it’s not my style. If you like eighties powerhouses, this is for you. Sillage is wide for the first two hours. Longevity 5-7 hours. Edit: Tested it at 25°C and it opened beautifully. The aldehydes softened and gentle flowers emerged, like chamomile. Now I actually like it!
