Gorilla Snot
I've been itching to write a comment about this little masterpiece, which has hardly received any attention, for a few years now. Well, my noble predecessor was quicker. Great description, I couldn't think of anything to add for a long time. But Aigner One Intense truly deserves more attention, so let's get to the keyboard!
I got it back then without knowing the note pyramid. Fortunately! This fragrance combination is something you need to process first. I detect a cinnamon citrus at the start with a hint of aftershave note, quickly joined by an earthy, resinous base. Then a subtle, but clearly perceptible, classic animalic note joins in the background. The cinnamon runs through without being overpowering. The transition of the remaining notes is very fluid. The note pyramid suggests to my perception: citrus notes, cinnamon, labdanum, patchouli, castoreum. One would think that can't possibly go together, but it does. This incredible combination instantly reminds me of a curiosity I encountered while working at a university in England a few years ago. The students there had a sort of exam completion courage cocktail, the so-called "Gorilla Snot." You take dry sherry and add the same amount of Baileys Irish Cream. In the sherry, the cream from the Baileys curdles and clumps. Then add a good splash of crème de menthe. The result is a greenish cloudy brew with green-opaque clumps in it. Cheers!
Number One Intense is, of course, not at all snotty, but it has a hint of gorilla. A gorilla with manners, not loud, but a gorilla. Present! Whoever created this fragrance deserves to be called "Master" in my opinion. Unfortunately, there is no name in the perfume database. The composition is already unique and surprisingly harmonious. The contrast of the individual notes has been put together quite brilliantly. Surprisingly, it also works well in mild, summery temperatures. Not an everyday scent, but definitely an enhancement to my collection. I clearly recommend trying it for anyone looking for something different.
