41 Burlington Arcade Atkinsons 2017

Atkinsons is for me such a brand that has amazingly beautiful things in amazingly many fragrances in the program. Maybe they do not deliver one highlight of the millennium after the next, but quite pleasant everyday companions, which often bring their own twist. Tendency rather unexciting, but always with a smooth feel and fine aura. And so this fragrance is also one of my favorites for a long time, now I describe it here finally times:

The first hour is like a picture book for good top notes. It opens with an orange freshness that is mild and round the rest of the way. It quickly combines with a sharp, cooling accord, which is also the theme of this fragrance: a very clear, beautiful licorice, which is really something special in its bright, fresh naturalness. The fragrance is here now in full bloom and lifts the mood enormously. The strong, juicy salmiac-citrus blend is fantastically balanced and strengthens the cozy like a refreshing aftershave. Applied after a nice pattering shower, it has a truly invigorating effect on the mind and senses. Cleansing, clarifying, spring-fresh and wonderfully moody.

The bright licorice experiences after a while a small flattening in terms of sharpness and becomes increasingly tame and milder. a pity that the fragrance can not quite hold the tension of the top notes, but what fragrance can? The woody parts increase, but remain extremely radiant and get an almost cherry-like touch. Thus, the fragrance continues over the further hours, slowly runs out in an unspectacular but sympathetic manner, without further highlights or disappointments.
For those who like aromatic spicy wood, this perfume is a really fine candidate. Not exactly robust or over-charismatic, but with a lovely lively nature and massive feel-good potential. I can only recommend it!
