Subtle or Insignificant?
A sample of "Miyabi Man" has surely made its way into almost every German shopping bag through Douglas. However, I feel that the fragrance has never really made a strong impression or taken off. I had never seriously tested it before, as it seemed too generic to me. Unremarkable describes it quite well. Now it finally had its chance - and it remains unremarkable. Even on the skin and in everyday life. However, it's the good kind of "unremarkable"...
"Miyabi Man" is never even the slightest bit unpleasant. Leaning towards the creamy direction of "Sun Men" or "Armani Code," it is a milky-spicy all-rounder, although it admittedly lacks a bit of kick, uniqueness, and character. It is always calm. It doesn't push boundaries. It weaves through without being calculated. It gets by. A bit of musk, a bit of nutmeg, but it never really has any flair. Very soft and pleasing. Does a man want that? Does a woman want that? Does anyone just want that? Is that enough? Not quite for me... I can't be too harsh on it, though. It's just too... nice. And for me personally, especially in the human realm, I don't see "nice" as bad or "the little sister of crap" at all. I believe many (powerful) people would like to be a lot "nicer" and not see it as a weakness...
Bottle: Asian, simple, beautiful
Sillage: weak and lackluster
Longevity: 5 hours - rather on the lower end...
Conclusion: basically a well-wearable, never too sweet-synthetic, and quite "nice" everyday fragrance... but I believe I don't need to tell anyone what "niceness" is often (unfortunately) perceived as! The anise shines through the most and gives off a slightly menthol vibe.
