On the Reeperbahn…
Children should be introduced to real life in due time, but gently. That’s why I took my daughter to the Reeperbahn. To avoid rushing the introduction, I chose the Reeperbahn in the quaint Kappeln on the Schlei, and it was also late morning.
Joking aside, the child had already walked along the “real” Reeperbahn during a school trip and had afterwards reported, giggling shyly, about the unusual products in the shop windows…
Now finally to the scent:
Creamy-green fig, initially garnished with citrus fruit, quickly develops a Campino fruit candy attitude. Along with that, there’s a slightly fuzzy quality (fuzzy-fungal - that’s certainly the musk already!), which reminds me of kiwi skin. I suspect the fig is a concoction of a rosy-fruity general fruit and something green-rough, plant-juicy; I’m guessing a bit of black currant leaf green. Which is all no harm.
Admittedly, I can’t remember the smell of the white oleander I once had. To have a well-rounded impression of the scent, I don’t need it anyway. There’s no component “left over” for me - because by late morning, a softly creamed fresh sour green remains, reliably carrying me through a slightly cooler summer day.
By the afternoon, the chemical framework behind the freshness reveals itself in all its glory. Hedione, Helional, and ISO all seem perceptible to me. The fig theme has become a shadow of its former self. The scent doesn’t smell bad because of this, just rather like perhaps a harmless women’s deodorant.
What all this has to do with the “Kiez” remains unclear to me. Well, the partygoers heading there are probably primarily chasing an illusion staged by shrewd businessmen to feel somehow “naughty.” The most daring thing about the scent, in any case, is that it is wrapped in black cardboard, unlike the three white boxed colleagues.
Moreover, ‘Kiez’ is the one among the four Hamburg scents that shows the greatest drop in tension towards the end. The other three maintain their solid level really well throughout the day. It’s a shame that the last in the series… well, now dances to the same tune; actually, I wanted to praise the staying power of the Acqua di Hamburg again today.
Nevertheless, it should be acknowledged again for the others here.
Conclusion for the scent: Reeperbahn in Kappeln.
Conclusion for the series: With this provider, the customer receives decent fragrance at a reasonable price. Compared to the tourist trap brew ‘Aqua Wissemara’ (85 euros for 30ml!) from Wismar, the Hamburg scents clearly have the edge.
I thank Gerdi for the sample. I received all four scents from her, and always in a 10ml travel bottle!
