Your Promise: That Everything Will Be Good!

And now you too. My second ATH.

Actually, I wanted to test you tomorrow - but now a quick spray just to be curious - and then this: Bam. WTF? I inhale you deeply, orange and a delicious pink grapefruit. Both fresh and yet tart. Not sweet at all, as I expected. Much more like orange peel than orange juice.

I like this, fruity and yet somehow masculine. A bit rough and definitely not trying too hard. There’s no noticeable: “Come here, I want to please you” - but rather a “Here I am - I want to do you good!” You make a confident statement - with a strong greeting upfront. Wow. Okay, I like you.

Your top note captivates me so much in the following hours that I spray more often than usual - not because you have faded, but because I just want to smell your top note again and again, almost feel it internally. Addicted.

Pineapple, blackcurrant, and the pepper are also clearly perceptible to me as the scent develops. Your multifruit heaviness gently hugs my skin, “dark-fresh,” the hint of pepper gives you, like me, energy.

Blackcurrant soda instead of apple soda! The certain fruity tartness of the blackcurrant refreshes me more than the sweetness of the apple. That’s how I see Haze: lasting tart summer freshness instead of fleeting citrus transience.

Geramann speaks in the statement of Blue and Aventus. I can agree with that. For a moment, I also perceive a hint of Eros Flame. Exactly that note which I like in that fragrance.

Aventus meets Blue meets Eros Flame would be a short summary. And yet, I think it doesn’t do justice to Haze. Haze is unique for me and not a twin or a fragrance collage. If anything, Haze combines the smoothness of Blue with the slightly dark (smoky) Aventus and a daring freshness of Eros Flame. But all in a much more unobtrusive, mature, and modern way. Haze doesn’t imitate anything for me.

Therefore, I don’t see you as a club or party-goer, which is often said about Aventus or Eros Flame... I believe you are not that and don’t want to be. You are a bit too proper and perhaps also a bit too un-mysterious for that. Not your intentions, I think. You simply do good to the one who wears you, I think a bit lost in thought.

There’s a promise that resonates when I inhale you deeply. With closed eyes, it’s almost tangible: Your promise that this will be a fantastic day…!

Many thanks to Geramann for the sample and my gain of this wonderful fragrance experience!

Wenn du Haze Blue so magst, wirst du Haze Black ebenfalls lieben. Etwas mehr Performance sowie ein wenig maskuliner - dafür etwas weniger Kopfnote. Die DNA ist aber unverkennbar sehr ähnlich. Und bevor ich es vergesse - sehr schön geschriebene Rezension.

Auch hast du die Intention des Duftes gut getroffen, dass er dem Träger einfach gut tun möchte. Denn genau das tut er. Vollsprühen und Glücklich sein

Hey! Tolles Review und danke dass ich Teil davon sein darf. Und ja, Haze ist auf jeden fall eigenständig und nicht einfach Aventus meets Bleu de Chanel. Das ist einfach eine sehr simple Beschreibung meinerseits.
Das verlangen ständig nachzusprühen kann ich auf jeden Fall bestätigen. Bin ebenso Addicted.
Das kann ich zB nicht von Aventus und BdC behaupten. Aber von Versace Eros (nicht Flame), also kannst du da einen guten treffer gemacht haben mit dem Eros Flame.
