A homage to classic men's (sports) fragrances
Do you need this comment here? Probably not. Below me there are some fine comments ( Fabian brings it to the point) about a fragrance that is no longer produced. And probably not only since yesterday. Nevertheless, I have to admit that this scent has become the leading scent of its kind within a few hours. Why this is so, I like to describe and that's why I decided to lose a few words. The miniature, which Gandix kindly wrapped up for me, I must now cherish, so that it doesn't go away soon.
The fragrance came out long before I was born, but I know of course later Adidas fragrances such as aftershaves, deodorants, etc. Sure, as an adolescent in a soccer club and later at least in the district league kicking with the good Kaiser V...Adidas was always present. The newer fragrances, however, do not have this depth or vibe of the former fragrances, that is regrettable to say.
The opening of Adidas is very aldehyde-laden and for me it is exciting how a fragrance, despite the concentrated citric ingredients of lavender and the noted green notes, can be captured in such a way that the mandarins, bergamots and what else in the background merely refine Adidas. The lavender does not look like conventional lavender to me either, but harmonizes directly with the oak moss in the base. Wonderful oakmoss, as you can hardly experience anymore this year. Almost cuddly, wonderful. Of course, the musk will have a say in this.
Adidas is simply old-fashioned, that has to be said clearly. That's what I like about the fragrance, I like this one and even if other fragrances from past decades, so-called classics of men's perfumes, also appeal to me, this one pleases me more. Why is quite simple. Although there is no ambition with ingredients here either, these go in a different direction than many of my contemporaries. The spiciness here is mainly created by the interplay of floral notes with woody notes plus a layer of oakmoss.
No clary sage, coriander or basil, that seems to me to make a big difference to fragrances in this category. Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't like the Halston Z-14 of this world, but I still feel more for the Adidas here. Much more. In this respect, I almost wish that you could still find such EdT in the drugstore, I would be drawn to it. Maybe I should just follow the recommendation of Salva, for example, who has been unearthing more and more gems there lately. Who knows, maybe there's a bottle of Adidas deep in the back of the shelf.
