Let the games begin...!
Welcome, gentlemen and supposed gods, to Circus Maximums. The arena of merciless and olfactory brutality of masculinity. Take up your starting positions and get dressed in your finest suits and don't forget to wear your bullet and stab proof armor. As always, you can be sure that what happens here might hurt. However, you are used to pain. Or let's just call it superiority, aplomb, age and good, dazzling taste! I know... back then the fights were dirtier! So what else should happen to you in this day and age when everything is so "watered down"? So cheaply processed and amateurishly botched. So gentlemen, sharpen your fountain pens, hunting weapons and turn your laptops into bear traps. The competition never sleeps. However, this only applies to the older generation. Unfortunately, the younger ones are already disqualified and food for the lions. Sorry! The use of tactical, stupefying and olfactory aids is expressly desired in Circus Maximus. If you have a Silver in the armory, this is of course also expressly desired. I personally know...unfair but very effective! So please don't be shy. However, no more than three sprayers in close combat. We don't want any overreaching here, do we? And as for the ladies...! As always, just look great and stretch your pretty noses. You'll recognize the winner sooner than you thought. So enjoy the spectacle, the show or your self-made, beautiful undoing. For the ladies among you, it can only end well. Before the show or afterwards. Either way! And by the way... the laurels on you will certainly be splendid! And so let the games begin. Good, very good luck.
And so let the games begin...!

SILVER
Etienne Aigner must have had enough one day when he launched SILVER. A label characterized by conservative luxury. Known for the finest leather and casual understatement. The realm of Aigner fragrances was rather soft-tart, soapy and clean. Until SILVER appeared! Rich, opulent and deeply animalistic. Aigner reinvented itself for a very short period. A cry of,...I am here! To stand next to a Kouros and Antaeus takes more than strength. The elite in his day! To describe SILVER would be foolish and presumptuous. You can't! Anyone who has never smelled Castoreum will have an idea of what this fragrance is capable of. Deepest, peaty and animalistic leather. Imbued with unfiltered and luxurious incense. Toxic and truly overwhelming. Intercepted by some cloves and damp and sultry moss. A good hit of herbaceous, resinous labdanum and a spicy, warm dose of cinnamon and a hint of flowers invite you to the coup de grace and the finale. This is roughly how you could describe SILVER. Could...?

Conclusion
In order to be noticed and to assert yourself in today's world, you need special olfactory weapons. SILVER had already perfected them back then and far exceeded them. A fragrance that even back then gave me a lot of respect. Even though I was already wearing Kouros and Antaeus. SILVER was the winner of the Circus Maximums of outrageous, masculine, leathery animalism. Probably the strongest gladiator of its era. SILVER never became a bestseller. Which doesn't surprise me from the perspective of that time and today. What do we kill when there's nothing left? And so SILVER died one day. Arrived at the top of the olfactory food chain. Aigner had overtaken itself in a wonderful way with this perfume. Excessive, reckless and almost uncontrollably unrestrained. Even in the 80s this was too much,...hard to imagine. But true...!

As for an old vintage in any respect.....?
Today I wore a vintage kouros again. Two baker's wives ran after me as I left the store to get to work and asked what I smelled like? It was only Kouros! Almost mundane compared to SILVER. My advice to everyone here? Wear a vintage perfume to get noticed in this day and age. As long as you can still get it. Uniqueness and backbone are rewarded. But it has its price! And for the young and trendy youth of Circus Maximus, let me tell you... You won't get far with a letter opener my friend. TAKE THE SWORD....!
May SILVER be with you...!

And it was never really silver,...it was titanium,...barely distinguishable. Apparently...!

A complex character
"My name is Silver. Aigner Silver," he said. What do you mean, said? He talked, didn't, he roared, stood in front of me with his legs apart, cocky as a cowboy at High Noon, blew his teeth, grinned unsympathetically in my face and fogged the room into a never-ending cloud of incense.

"May I come in?" barked that Silver. Well, I'm not a monster, I thought, I don't like you somehow, but I offer him a drink anyway. Then he sat down, suddenly seemed to calm down, he suddenly seemed milder, smiled instead of grinning and said in an unusually calm manner: "I'm sorry if I've upset you a bit. But if you want to come to terms with me, I'll look into it first!" Aha. I didn't know what he was getting at, but the initially overpowering incense scent, which slowly receded more and more into the background, was suddenly joined by musk, some leather, a hint of African redwood, amber and, yes, a touch of patchouli and a little galbanum.

He became more and more relaxed, this Silver, and soon we were chatting animatedly with each other, he turned out to be a gentleman, as I would certainly not have looked at him at first, this big-headed show-off, who he wasn't after all! We sat and talked and Silver, unlike me, didn't get tired, but suddenly picked up some vanilla and tonka bean, I even meant Rose and very, very weakly, Jasmine. But by then my eyes had probably already closed.

The next morning I woke up. Silver had left me a little note with a greeting, he had covered me with a blanket and put a pillow under my head. And suddenly I still smelled a little hint of incense. He had been gone for a long time and yet he was still present!

Conclusion -- in its unmatched complexity, this powerhouse giant from the house of Aigner is not an easy sparring partner, but one with whom patience should be shown. A fragrance that is exciting and rather for men over 40 with slightly greying hair. I think it's a pity it hasn't been around for so long, because in today's trivial sea of random Maintream plörre without ebb and flow, such a giant could score as the only wave of hope!
