Walking in the forest... (?)
It has been half a year since I discovered and sprayed this fragrance in the store. First, of course, on the test strip. At that time, I already found it to be a good scent, something special. Especially the woodiness and the grapefruit were noticeable. Bam, sprayed on the skin. In the meantime, I tested other fragrances and then, oh? What happened to the scent? A needle forest? A fresh, rainy forest.
I found this development very exciting, but so specific that I told myself, "I’m not looking for something like this, better choose another one..." I was still impressed.
Half a year later, I stand in the same store, testing familiar products, and suddenly the thought comes to me just before the store closed, about that very forest. "Oh come on, I have to smell that again, which one was it again?" Found the fragrance and sprayed it again. First test strip, the same impression from last time remained, something woody was again noticeable, and as soon as it touched my skin again, I was back in the wilderness (at least on my skin). I went home, smelled it now and then, and unfortunately, after 4 hours, I was disappointed by the nearly deforested forest. Because longevity is not its strength. I then also read reviews on Parfumo, which reflected this image. I had 2 sprays on my hand; at a price of 30€/100ml, it could be 5 on the body, but over time it becomes a bit annoying to have to constantly reapply it. It is, after all, a relatively fresh scent, and these do not last as long as fragrances that contain a portion of sweetness.
So, whether a clone of Aventus or not, a solid scent with weaknesses. Sillage and longevity should be improved. Perhaps with the successor, the EDP, whenever that may come.
The bottle is mediocre. While the magnetic cap and the thick glass are very pleasant, depending on the bottle, the cap and/or the spray head can creak.
