... ...is pretty much the first association I can think of with this fragrance. Granted... while I'm writing this, I'm still wondering if this headliner does justice to the actual class of this fragrance
I'm thinking... would I consider such a term for a more expensive fragrance from a supposedly more renowned house, or would I not be able to rest easy and would I possibly brood until I found a term that reads "smarter"?!
I suspect almost yes... one always succumbs a little to the impression of a product, which subconsciously creeps in through external influence.
In the case of perfume, this ranges from myths and legends about the respective fragrance houses, to a pretended exclusivity, to exorbitant prices that one ideally only wants to justify to oneself, or sometimes even has to.
Chapeau to those who can consistently free themselves from it. A matter not to be underestimated.
Ambré... a more or less light green lower 7 here has a hard time.
A few years ago, when I smelled it for the first time, I liked it immediately, but it was forgotten by return of post.
You read a lot about other scents here... more blingbling here, better performance there, and more or less disillusioned, they rummaged through various bottlings and samples of the supposedly better, more sublime fragrances (-bubbles) and not seldom found more appearance than reality.
Recently, the summer was already on the dry ground of the home stretch and people started to think about the coming season. The sample fell into my hands and although I had ignored it for so long I knew ... it will be good!
The small filling was put into the sports bag and after physical training and sauna session were checked off, it was sprayed generously.
The very same evening the decision was made quite quickly that I had to buy the fragrance. I knew that it would be a comparatively inexpensive undertaking, but when I threw the 30ML into the shopping cart for a cheeky round about 12 Euros, something like indignation rose in me.
Metaphorically speaking, I had the desire to stand in front of the fragrance and to defend it, and unasked whomever I had to defend it, with the remark that ambergris is easily worth three times as much and I would be willing to pay that price.
Since I am however then nevertheless also no saint, I threw him nevertheless with the most favorable offerer into the Warenkorb and drove with a head shower cloth (super thing with longer hair!) the Warenkorb scarcely over the 20 euro border, in order to come straight around forwarding expenses. A fox must do what a fox must do ...
This fragrance has the potential to become my daily driver in autumn. Sentences that one likes to write in this context. The truth is of course that rarely a fragrance is used on more than 2 consecutive days.
But if this happens weekly, we are at the weekly driver.
An aromatic flatterer that can be worn at any time of day. More understatement than a screamer.
Top note good, the brisk base even better.
Apple, normally not my thing (pitiful look in the direction of the PDM), softly cushioned by a moderate sweetness that robs the fruit of its scratchiness.
The fact that the alcoholic note only draws a thin frame may be noted favourably.
Also pleasing ... not necessarily usual in the price range, is from the heart also the clearly perceptible leather note and the violet, which I use in small doses, appreciated by me.
With increasing wearing time it is then difficult to smell the individual components. But that doesn't matter at all, because the scent impression remains pleasing until the quiet end.
An underestimated men's fragrance with a valuable aura, which would like to be sprayed after lunch and requires a certain sovereignty.
Whether this is reached in the middle of 20 or 10 years later must be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Still thinking about changing the headliner, but I leave it now and try to convince myself that I can justify this with authenticity
