Metal Wave AllSaints 2018

I have owned this fragrance for a long time and from the very beginning, I liked it exceptionally well.
So far, there has been no review because even today, I find it difficult to describe this scent.

This is by no means to suggest that it is highly complex, difficult, or special, but particularly with regard to the fragrance pyramid and the variability within the DNA, it has not been easy for me to put the scent into words.

There are days when I spray Metal Wave and the scent reveals itself from the start as very woody, with a subtle juniper vibe in the background.
But there are also days when the fragrance starts off quite quickly with a sweet, somewhat powdery DNA where one might think that the queen of spices (vanilla) has a hand in it.

Yes, over time the scent becomes sweeter, that is beyond question.
However, the start, at least for me, is sometimes marked by significant differences - exciting!

At the end of the fragrance chain, however, the same result always stands.
A rather soft-woody, quite sweet, light / friendly scent with a moderate projection that shouldn't disturb anyone too much.

Personally, I like the scent as I mentioned at the beginning, exceptionally well. It is suitable for almost any occasion, except for sports, where I wouldn't wear it.
It has the optimal balance of sillage and projection and does not lean towards either the feminine or the masculine side.
I like to refer to the scent as my "All Day Champion," but I do not want to commit to it as a classic signature scent.

In terms of cost, AllSaints also falls into a very affordable category for what you get. On sale, you can sometimes acquire it for significantly under 40 euros. For a 100 ml bottle, that's absolutely fine. I also like the bottle itself for its simple design, shape, and the very fitting cap.
