Big City Whispering
It's late autumn 2019 and I'm standing in my regular perfumery and my gaze falls on the beautifully designed Allsaints bottles. Minimalist lines, a concrete-like lid and monochrome photographs of plants. I am thrilled and my interest is aroused.
The names of the compositions evoke associations and only arouse more curiosity. I just want these fragrances to please me. And so I try them out.
But Metal Wave disappointed me a lot at first. Nothing metal. Nothing Wave. And not a metallic wave either. Whatever. I want to at least give a late night riot a chance with a rehearsal. If and which scent I took with me that day, will remain forever hidden in oblivion.
It is autumn 2020 and the brand has made it back into my memory, the sample taken last year is still half-full and I find a good offer in the souk.
Yeah, okay, I want to give the badge another chance. And somehow Metal Wave sounds really great in theory.
All right. So he's the third of his guild to join my collection.
One thing in advance: They have now proved to me several times that Allsaint's extraordinary fragrances are possible.
So Metal Wave.
Let's say goodbye for a moment to the idea that something metallic or wet has gone into this fragrance. Because it hasn't. Instead, the fragrance is warm and dry, not cool and moist.
And compared to tart scents, this is a candy store. Fortunately my interest in scents is very broad.
And may I just say a quick thank you for the great flacon design before I go full blast? It's simply great to add the photograph on the back of the label, which is also on the packaging, so that the flacon becomes your own little work of art when placed "wrong"
Come on, now. It's Friday night in a big city on a balmy summer day. A light, very pleasant wind is blowing and the riot does not seem to have taken place yet. Whether the first three fragrances of the brand are somehow connected or even have a dramaturgical sequence is of course pure speculation, but it fits into the image that this fragrance projects into my head.
Thus, we are at a café or a pub in the pedestrian area and some people drink coffee, others already wine or beer, some people leaf through their newspaper or a book that is already slightly yellowed. And now a breath of wind in the form of a wave carries this melange through the metal facades of the big city into my nose. Tadah, there is the wave of metal. Only without any wave or metal.
Yes, it's a very nice scent. Without any surprises or twists, but with one or two twists at the beginning that you wouldn't have expected. It's just that the expectations should maybe be less influenced by the name.
It annoys me a little that I haven't tried it before. On the other hand...
