I must have received water in my sample sprayette

I ordered the "Originals for Him" and "Island Essences for Him" fragrance samples (3 perfumes each) and tried Classica first. It was a total disappointment. I couldn't smell any opening citrus nor the middle notes. Only got a very subtle woody scent in the dry down. Don't know what the problem was. Granted, I might be nose blind for some reason (although I've never been nose blind to opening citrus notes before). In any event, the fact that I could hardly smell Classica, after applying the entire sample means it's a total fail for me. I want to enjoy any fragrances I apply; I'm not wearing it primarily for others to smell. I'm keeping an open mind and have five more to test.

BTW, the spritzer is the worst I've ever had from any sample.

Small pearl on a small island

The fragrance was a chance find in eBucht. After I couldn't find any off-putting comments here and the price was really good, I bought it blind. I had never heard of the brand before. I didn't have any great expectations and was accordingly enchanted when I tested it for the first time.
The opening is beautifully fresh and fruity thanks to the lemon and mandarin. The tangerine gives the freshness a good dose of sweetness. The wheel is not reinvented here either, but the whole thing comes across as very natural. I think the rosemary gets lost somewhere. However, a slightly salty note creeps in relatively quickly, most likely due to the seaweed. Sweet/salty doesn't sound delicious, but it is here and it's really well done. As it progresses, it stays relatively the same in my nose, which is a good thing. I couldn't detect any of the base notes mentioned.
The best time to wear the fragrance is, of course, when the thermometer reads 25 degrees and above.
I find the sillage and longevity surprisingly good for a fresh fragrance. I had the scent tail often and strongly in my nose outside for at least 2 to 3 hours. Even afterwards, it was by no means immediately skin-deep, which is why I gave it an 8 in H/S. You have to bear in mind that it is a fresh fragrance and you can't apply the same standards to it as you would to a winter perfume. And since it was still shrink-wrapped and can now mature a little more, I'm curious to see if it can even improve on its score next year.
To sum up, I can warmly recommend this gem and would even have paid the full retail price if I had known about it now. Now the summer is almost over, but next year I will wear it often and with pleasure. Grab it when it's on sale somewhere.
