Just floralis

Wherever you find the word vanilla, I have to test it.
I really like the queen of spices, even though it is often embedded in a very feminine way.

The Acqua Colonia Collection Absolue is quite new on the market and I immediately ordered a few bottlings as I found the combinations quite exciting.

I'll get straight to the point: I'm not really convinced by the fragrance!
There is no trace of vanilla anywhere. It's rare that vanilla can't assert itself at all within a fragrance structure.
The heart notes dominate this perfume mercilessly and without any tolerance.
The fragrance is therefore floral through and through.

I can also detect a hint of fruitiness, then more and more musk in the drydown, but no beauty, and very soft, somewhat mineral amber.
But again, all of this is relentlessly overlaid with floral influences.

Furthermore, the florality to be sniffed out here also has a tendency towards synthetics, so I just thought to myself: "That too..."

Longevity and silage can only be described as "moderate" for an EdP.
After 6 hours, the fragrance falls to its knees.
If at all, then I see the fragrance more on a woman.

Conclusion: Rather disappointing!
