Gorilla Snot
I've been itching to write a commentary on this little masterpiece for a couple of years now. Well, the previous speaker was faster. Great description, I couldn't think of anything else to add for a long time. But the Aigner One Intense really deserves more attention, so let's get to the keyboard!
I bought it at the time without knowing the Notenbaum. Fortunately! This combination of scents is something you have to get used to. I smell out a cinnamony citrus to start with some aftershave note, which is quite quickly joined by an earthy resinous base. Then it's joined by a subtle but clearly discernible classic animalic in the background. The cinnamon pervades without being penetrating. The progression of the change of the rest of the notes is very fluid. The note tree says to my sensibilities: citrus notes, cinnamon, labdanum, patchouli, castoreum. That can't possibly go together, you would think, but it does. This incredible combination spontaneously reminds me of a curiosity I encountered when I worked at a university in England for a few years. The students there at that time had such a final exam courage cocktail, said "Gorilla Snot" - in German: Gorillarotz. You take dry sherry and add the same amount of Baileys Irish Cream. In the sherry, the cream of the Baileys coagulates and flocculates. Then add a good dash of Creme Du Menthe. The result is a greenish cloudy broth with green-opaque lumps in it. Cheers!
The Number One Intense is not at all snotty, of course, but it does have a hint of gorilla. A gorilla with manners, not loud, but a gorilla. Present! Whoever created this fragrance is entitled to call themselves "master" in my opinion. Unfortunately, there is no name in the perfume database. The composition is already unique and amazingly harmonious. The contrast of the single notes has been put together quite ingeniously. Surprisingly, it also works in mild, summery temperatures. Not an all-rounder, but definitely an enrichment in my collection. Clear tasting recommendation from me for all who are looking for something different.
