Niche perfume: what is it?

You probably know perfumes, but very few have heard of “niche perfumes”. They fill gaps (or niches) in the perfume market, so to speak.

Term: niche perfume (France)

The term originally comes from France “Niche”, which translates as “niche” or also “extraordinary” or “unique”. The niche perfumes appeal to discerning and courageous perfume wearers who also want to stand a little apart from the mainstream with the creations.

Ingredients: Pure oils and essences

Niche perfumes in most cases contain pure fragrance oils, sometimes extracts with up to 30-40%, such as Nasomatto and Profumu Roma. Thus, these fragrances have a completely different effect on the skin than normal perfumes. Normal perfumes sometimes contain more synthetic ingredients or a lower concentration of oils.

Flacons: Minimalist design

Another feature, niche fragrances are often bottled in simpler flacons. Since they are produced in smaller quantities, an elaborate design does not pay off. The persuasive power is not in the big appearance, but in the great individuality and the quality of the fragrance and its ingredients.

Niche perfume quickly explained:

• Niche perfumes fill gaps in the perfume market
• Word comes from France for something “special”, “exceptional” or even “unique”
• Buyers are rather demanding
• Pure oils instead of synthetics
• Plain Falcons through small editions

What is Florence known for?

Florence is a fascinating city, even for me as a European, everything here looks a bit more European. The history of the city makes it so special.

Art, architecture and fashion

Why was Florence so rich? Especially the Medici family, who were one of the most powerful Italian families between the 15th and 18th centuries. They provided popes and queens. The Medici made their fortune in textiles. So at some point they hired Michelangelo for their house. This is how great masterpieces were created in Florence that you can still see today, like the statue of “David”, which was created between 1501 and 1504.

In Italian, Florence is called “Firenze”. The city has 370,000 inhabitants and 60,000 of them are students. This makes this historic city special, where old culture meets the new world.

6 short facts Florence:

• In Italy the city is called: Firenze
• It is the capital of the region of Tuscany
• Florence has 380,000 inhabitants
• Of which a whole 60,000 students
• Strong influences from Medici family
• Famous artists like Michelangelo

Marbella: city, location and weather on the Costa del Sol

If you ask me about Marbella, there is only one sensible answer:

Marbella is the Miami of Europe!

A pleasant climate all year round, lots of sun, right on the Mediterranean Sea and all this just a few hours away by plane, from European capitals such as Berlin, Stockholm but also Rome. In fact, many Italians are also here in Marbella, as well as Swedes and Germans. One reason for this are, for example, the countless, large and lush green golf courses. As well as the “Old-Town” of Marbella, the kilometer-long beaches and the Spanish attitude towards life. What this means, you will learn in this Marbella guide for your first vacation.

Listen along with Zoe:

Location: South-Southeast Spain, almost at Gibraltar

Marbella is located in Spain, more precisely on the southeastern coast, just before the southernmost point of Europe.

Before starting, a piece of Marbella, from above!

Drive from the airport: In 40 minutes at the marina

Marbella itself, like the other coastal cities (Malaga, Mijas), stretches along the beach and coast. When driving from the airport of Malaga to Marbella, one hardly notices the transitions between the cities and districts.

Malaga, Mijos, Marbella: Route

The way from the airport to the center of Marbella takes about 40, 45 minutes by car.

Expressway, speed limit and coast

On the expressway you are allowed to drive a maximum of 120 km / h. In fact, you often even drive up slowly, because the road runs directly along the coast. The view is captivating, especially if you are coming from the northern regions of Europe.

As you drive, on your right are the residential areas and behind them the mountains. More precisely, the Sierra Blanca. The mountain range runs along the coast, through Istán, Ojén, Marbella and Monda. One mountain in particular stands out later in Marbella, the 1,215 meter high Mushel peak.

In Marbella they say that the mountain stops the heat from inland, also the clouds! Therefore, the good climate, the many sun, but more about that later in the section “Climate and Weather” in Marbella.

So to the right you have the mountains and to the left, the Mediterranean Sea is constantly visible. With good visibility, you can even see the African coast from here. Even Gibraltar (the southernmost tip of Europe, only a few kilometers to Africa) is only 30 minutes away by car.

So Marbella is different from the typical, European city. It is not centrally located, but typical of coastal cities, it stretches along the sea. Accordingly, one is also more likely to travel by car than by bicycle or on foot.

Along the entire route from the airport to Marbella, you pass a lot of greenery through palm trees, you see golf courses and settlements, with vacation homes and villas. Everything in the typical Spanish look. Here are mainly the properties that are used by the owners for their own vacations and when the occupants are not on site, the vacation homes and villas are rented to tourists. The further you get into Marbella, the more exclusive the neighborhoods become, especially when looking towards the mountains.

So many spend their autumn and winter time in Marbella. Then, when it is cold and wet in the rest of Europe! Why? In Marbella is always pleasant climate.

Climate: weather and temperatures in Marbella

Temperatures – Due to the southern location with sea air and warmth from inland, a warm, not hot, climate has been established here. In this location palm trees grow and the oranges on the trees are ready to be picked in December. In fact in December!

Pure Mediterranean climate.

All this, in Europe.

Plants and fruits: green all year

Here too, Marbella is very reminiscent of Miami, palm trees grow 20 meters, 30 meters in height. Orange harvest in December, palm trees and fruit all year round, that’s what everyone dreams of when they think of vacation and relaxation.

During the day, the city is relatively protected by the high mountains from the more extreme heat inland.

Houses in the ground – Only 30, 40 km further in the mainland, for example, there is a region where houses are traditionally built in the ground! From above you see as only a small door, the rest of the apartment is under the ground and is thus always cooled. As I said, in Marbella such extreme heat, e.g. over 35, 36 degrees are rather rare.

Because, at the same time from the sea blows a cool breeze, especially in the evening, so that even after hot days, in the evening is not uncomfortably hot. The Mediterranean Sea provides balance.

Clear starry sky through mountain and sea air

At the same time, the protection of the mountains ensures that few clouds pass over Marbella, even at night. Marbella is not a big city, like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich or other European cities like Paris and London. The starry sky over the sea spark so, as in few places in Europe.

Seawater desalination and irrigation – clouds, rain, all this is very rare in Marbella. If you wonder why there is so much greenery, most of the land is irrigated, permanently. Marbella and Spain as a whole, are among the most successful countries when it comes to seawater desalination. So they can create a lot of green despite the warm temperatures, a lot of sun. Hence the almost unique golf courses in the region, with almost always good weather.

The moment between sunset and starry sky:

Weather in Marbella: Today + temperatures

Here’s a quick look at the current weather in Marbella:

Marbella City: Old Town, Villas & Starbucks

Marbella’s downtown consists of many small neighborhoods. However, the city itself feels larger than it actually is, due to the stretching along the coast.

Downtown and Old-Town

Old-Town of Marbella – One of the most important places is probably Marbella’s “Old-Town”. The name says it all, this is how you imagine the old town in Spain. Many small restaurants, small boutiques, small squares, orange trees and also small highlights, e.g. a wall with hundreds of blue flower pots (ideal for Instagram). Here in the old town you can find the real Marbella. Later in the tips, we also recommend a restaurant where every evening an opera surprises you.

During the day you will find relatively few people in the city center, due to the high temperatures, especially in the summer months! After all, hardly a breeze blows in the alleys of the city center. But in the evening, Marbella’s old town feels fast!

The “big meal” here doesn’t start at 6 or 7 pm. You start with a few drinks around 8 p.m., 9 p.m., then come tapas and only late in the evening, around 10 p.m., 11 p.m. or even 24 p.m., comes the actual dinner, the big main course.

Shopping: shopping and tips

Puerto Banús – Another important spot, especially for the first visit, is Puerto Banús. In Puerto Banús you will find the big yachts, sailing ships and also very many shopping opportunities. However, it is not cheap here, because it is mainly Gucci, Louis Vuitton or luxury brands the Hermés.

Location in Marbella:

Rating on Google: 4.4 / 5.0 with 1,660 reviews

To the left and right of the port of Puerto Banús, stretch the beaches, as well as large hotels. In addition, there are beach bars and many other ways to spend time here.

Golden Mile: Villas neighborhood in the center

Only a few minutes by car and you are at the Golden Mile. The Golden Mile is the most exclusive area, at least in the downtown area of Marbella. Here are large, stately villas. Accordingly, many streets are closed off by barriers.

The Golden Mile is above the main road (yellow on the map) and covers a wide area. The higher you go into the mountains, the larger the villas and estates become.

Away from that, there is everything you need. From everyday groceries and markets like Lidl and Aldi, to small stores in the streets, to large shopping centers with Starbucks and Wendy’s, so even American stores that you can’t find in the city. This is what makes Marbella special. With only 141,500 inhabitants. You can find everything here, as well as Gucci, Louis Vuitton & Co. in Puerto Banús.

Beach and shopping in Marbella

Vacation in Marbella means for many above all: relaxing, visiting the beach and finally time for shopping!

Beaches in Marbella: Almost 100% sand

If you spend your vacation in Marbella, you are lucky, because here is almost exclusively sand to find! Directly on the Mediterranean Sea, not far from Gibraltar, the southernmost tip of Europe, you can have pure beach feeling. From the entire journey via Malaga and Mijas, in Marbella and to the next town is Estepona.

That means where you go to the beach doesn’t really matter! You can find beautiful sand everywhere.

When it comes to space, you might want to look for a beach outside the city center. Because of course most of the tourists are here and of course also the locals. That’s why many very good adresses, like Nikki Beach, are not centrally located in the city, but a few kilometers outside the big tourist crowds.

Toplist: Best beaches in Marbella

What does the community on Google say? Thousands have left reviews, these are the best beaches:

1. Playa del Alicate
2. Playa Nagüeles
3. Cabopino Beach
4. Playa de Puerto Banus
5. Playa de Artola
6. … and many more!

At Cabopino Beach:

Shopping:

Believe me, you have so many possibilities to go shopping in Marbella! From big shopping malls, where you can also find many international stores, from Starbucks to Wendy’s, to many, small shopping streets and of course many, small boutiques in the “Old-Town”.

If you want an exclusive shopping experience then you have to go to Puerto Banús, here you will find luxury brands from all over the world, from Louis Vuitton to Burberry and Hermès. My first stop was at Louis Vuitton, in fact we even walked out with a pair of shoes. Why not! Fitting for our almost daily visits, to great beach clubs, here locally. Always at yes you can enjoy the good life.

Here you will find the Louis Vuitton store and many other luxury brands:

Villas and vacation homes: real estate

In Marbella there are pretty much all forms of real estate. So to speak, from the rental apartment, to the exclusive designer villas in the mountainsides.

Villas: Golden Mile

If you can afford it, you can live and reside very exclusively in Marbella! On the one hand, there is the “Golden Mile”, or the entire area from the golden mile up to the mountain slopes. Here you can find villa after villa. The higher up in the mountains, the more exclusive the location. Even more exclusive than in the Golden Mile, it becomes a little further inland. Here there are small settlements where the super rich live. Again, they live somewhat secluded, so they are not directly accessible to everyone from the city. In addition to seclusion, of course, security also plays a big role for these real estate buyers.

If you want to see the expensive villas in Marbella, drive along the coastal road, in Marbella it becomes the main road and orient yourself towards the mountains. You can start for example in the “Golden Mile”. But it is important that you cannot explore the area on foot.

Tip: It’s best to organize a good, high-quality car. After all, you will have to pass through some barriers where you don’t want to attract attention. You can find the map and location above, in the “City” section.

Cottage: beach location

In Marbella, however, you can also find many vacation homes, especially on the beach locations, left and right of the city. As already described in the introduction, Marbella stretches over the entire coastal area and accordingly the settlements are also extensive, with small and large vacation homes.

Often they are owned by owners who rent them out as vacation homes for many months. So you can enjoy the luxury of Marbella itself, for example, in the cold autumn and winter months in Europe. In the spring and summer, the vacation homes are then rented out to tourists.

A good deal! Because, as a rule, you pay 20% commission to the local managers. So if the house costs 1,000 euros per month, whether rent or repayment of the loan, but per month 3,000 euros can be collected (minus 20%, 600 euros) remain after rent or repayment of the loan still 1,400 euros per month!

Real estate for golfers

Marbella is the Miami of Europe. There are over 100 golf courses in the area, all within an hour’s drive. In Marbella alone you will find about 20 golf courses and golf clubs.

Golf in Marbella: Number 1 in Europe

In addition to the city and the beaches, or of course, in addition to Mediterranean climate, but above all had one thing to offer, golf courses! Therefore, the designation, Miami of Europe, is also so appropriate.

Tip: Los Naranjos Golf Club

A good tip for golfers is for example the “Los Naranjos” golf course. “Naranjo” is the Spanish word for “orange tree”, “Naranja” means “orange”. The golf course is called this way because there are extremely many orange trees in this area. The golf course is managed by Swedes. There are a lot of them in Marbella! Besides the wide lush green, you will also find a great culinary offer, with international cuisine. Los Naranjos is definitely worth a visit, not only for golf, but also for delicious food.

Accommodation in Turkey – hotels & holiday apartments

An important part of a journey is the accommodation. In Turkey there is every kind of accommodation, be it a holiday apartment or a hotel. Depending on your personal requirements, you have to weigh up what the perfect accommodation is for a carefree holiday. The FIV Magazine has listed the accommodation options for you to book the right accommodation.

Holidays Turkey: Cheap holiday apartments

Apartments are very practical and currently very popular. There are low budget holiday homes for travelers with a small budget, or large holiday homes with a pool complex, so everyone can find the right holiday home according to their budget. Apartments are practical, because you have your own kitchen, where you can prepare meals around the clock for a reasonable price, so you can organize your everyday life freely. Moreover, one avoids long queues at the buffets of all-inclusive hotels. What is also a plus point for a holiday flat is that one can often take the beloved pets with one. All tourist resorts in Turkey have a freely accessible beach, so you don’t have to rely on the hotel’s own beach.

Hairstyles for curly hair: Here you can find my 7 favourite looks

• All Natural
• PuffyBun
• Messy bun
• Pineapple Look
• Double bun
• Strict pigtail
• Ponytail

The “All Natural” Style

You don’t need any hair utensils, heat, hair ties or anything else to go with the “All Natural”. Just shake your hair once and get out of the house.

The Puffy Bun

The Puffy Bun is also not very difficult to imitate: Simply comb hair back tightly with some hair powder or gel, tie a braid as far up as possible, and then tie a loose chignon with a hair tie. It’s best to pinch off any protruding hair with bobby pins. Then style the baby hair and you’re done!

Let’s get wild: The “Messy Bun”

The “Messy Bun” is, if you have curls, one of the easiest hairstyles. Simply style your hair up like a braid, tie a hair tie loosely around it, pluck out a few strands in the front and optionally style your baby hair. Done!

Fruity: The “Pineapple” Look

The “pineapple” look is very easy to style with 2-3 hair ties and optionally a scarf. Simply tie your hair into a braid at the very top (with all 2-3 hair elastics) then pluck it forward so that some hair hangs over your forehead, almost like a pony. Loosen the hair at the back of the head a bit and pluck out a few strands on each side of the “bangs”. Et Voilá!

Everything times 2: The “Double Bun”

For the “Double Bun” you have to comb your hair to a middle parting, then a braid on each side to the desired position. Use another hair tie to create a chignon of the desired size on each side and fix any protruding hair with bobby pins. The double bun is finished. If desired, style the baby hair with some hair pudding.

The “Strict” braid

The “strict” braid you conjure up almost as quickly as a classic ponytail. Simply comb hair, with a little pudding, strictly down, tie braid, style baby hair and ready!

The classic ponytail

One of the easiest disciplines in terms of hairstyles. Simply tie your hair into a braid at the back of your head. That’s it! – Who wants to have it a little more sleeky with hair pudding and brush strictly back and then tie a braid.
