LiboCedro Acca Kappa 2011 Eau de Cologne

During my last visit to Wigger in Dortmund, I received this fragrance as a sample. Now I finally had a bit of time to engage with it.

A little from the vial on the back of my hand, and I immediately get a bergamot-lemon accord in my nose. Nothing too spectacular yet, it's familiar. After 10 minutes, the transition to the heart begins. And I have the feeling that I know all of this. And, of course, I do know it. It all feels very familiar from my "Vitriol d'Elleit" by Serge Lutens. The clove smells just as fine as it does with Serge. I wouldn't claim it's a fragrance twin. There is a subtle nuance present that makes the difference. Namely, the sage.
I would argue that I don't necessarily want to smell sage in a perfume, as I'm not particularly fond of the scent. However, it is well integrated in the heart and you only sense it. Primarily, as mentioned, the clove plays the leading role here.

After a short while, the base becomes noticeable to me. The cedarwood is clearly perceptible after 25 minutes, with the clove still in the background. Which is good, as I always find it lovely. In combination with the cedarwood, it's a bit of something new, something different.

The question remains for me whether I should order it. Since I'm currently on the lookout for an "everyday perfume," I can well imagine it. It's definitely good, but it doesn't truly blow me away. However, the price of €44 for 100ml is certainly tempting.
