Recently in the teachers' room - Here it smells like FA!
Well, what a journey I've had with that scent. It all started with Fahrenheit from Dior, whom I love very much. Then I heard that Amouage with Portrayal Man had brought out a scent that came very close to Fahrenheit. Of course you can ask now why you should buy a fragrance that is very similar to one in the collection? And exactly that was my first impression and I should realize that I was wrong!
As it is, I first got a sample from the souk and was confirmed after a first test in my preliminary assumption: this is a Fahrenheit twin! A bit more reduced than the original, but still very similar. So at first I didn't pay much attention to him anymore and stowed him in the drawer.
Last week I brought it out again and tested it again, not knowing that this time everything would be different and that I would be 200 Euro poorer in the evening! So I sprayed, got into the car, drove to work and noticed on the way there that it somehow smells different than Fahrenheit, somehow not so dirty, but slightly soapy and fresh. I liked this insight, because light soapy scents are exactly my thing (tips for such scents in the comments ;) ). Well, it should come even better and my impression should be confirmed.
Arriving at school I had to finish the first two hours before I could get my first coffee in the teachers room. I sat quite far back in the aforementioned Aufentaltsraum and expected the colleagues to appear. As it slowly began to fill up, a colleague came in and said to the others all the time: "People, it smells like FA men's shower gel here! I was delighted, firstly because he confirmed my impression and secondly because he told me that the Amouage had to have quite a bit of power when it was still so strongly perceived - 4 hours after the application - that it dieselled entire rooms. No Fahrenheit can do that.
But there should be another one on it!
After school - now I was wearing it for about 7 hours - a colleague in the parking lot spoke to me and asked me what kind of perfume I would be wearing, because it smells very good and you could smell it every time I passed it. WOW, I didn't think he had such a shelf life and Sillage! Great, I thought, Fahrenheit proximity and then even better in terms of durability and Sillage.
On the way back, I knew I had to have it, it fulfilled everything I expected from a fragrance: a slightly fresh, soapy, herbaceous, male aura and a good performance! Arrived at home, I have bought him then immediately and am super satisfied with him.
But again summarizing to the fragrance:
Portrayal Man is that cannot be denied, a fragrance twin of Fahrenheit Dior. However, a more minimalist variant of the dior. Violet, vetiver and cedar ensure that it initially runs very linearly and spreads the typical Fahrenheit vipe. It is slightly freshly soapy and not quite so dark - would also be something for spring. Later, however, a beautiful, soft drydown follows, which is typical of Amouage. Durability and Sillage surpass the Dior by far. The Dior lasts about 7-8 hours with me, whereas the Amouage lasts 12 hours with double projection.
Buy recommendation?
YES, if you fulfill the following: You love Fahrenheit from Dior, want to get to know him in a fresher and rounder way and have no problem paying the high prices.
(The bottle is by the way a real eye candy!)
