The lovely one with rough edges
There he stands before me now, the high-ranking officer at sea of whom Armaf is proud of his title.
A shiny blue bottle with a triangular base, tapering towards the bottom, gently rounded corners, a hand flatterer. A lid that clips on, but somehow also contains a magnet. A spray head that doesn't skimp on the application, but also doesn't overdo it unintentionally.
Check - I like it.
Freshly sprayed on, I hear an ozonic-aquatic freshness that can hardly be explained by the fragrance pyramid, slightly underlined by warm-sweet cardamom. And then the first rough edges of the fragrance begin: do I smell rubber? Yes, yes, but somehow pleasant rubber. Difficult to describe. Not a burning tire, more like a newly bought rubber boat. The whole thing is very subtle and a small facet of the overall fragrance. Before you have found the right association with the rubber scent - it disappears again. Did my nose play a trick on me? Spoiler: No, I get this association every time I spray it on fresh.
After half an hour, the fresh notes have disappeared and the warm, soft ingredients gain the upper hand. Very subtle, non-sacred incense, amber, tonka and vanilla promise (and deliver) a feel-good program. Even sharper pepper can be detected directly on the skin - the sillage is dominated by soft notes that create a calming aura around me.
Speaking of sillage: not beast mode, but still noticeably effective over a longer period of time. With 5 sprays, I can hear my own scent for 5-6 hours. Close to the skin about 8-9 hours, which I consider to be very good.
I would like to compare it to other fragrances, but I don't have a fragrance that is noticeably similar to Admiral.
The first time I tested Admiral, I found it nice. Good the second time. Now I like it very much. A feel-good fragrance with interesting twists. I may have to revise my rating upwards one day.
