Baldessarini Baldessarini 2002 Eau de Cologne Concentrée

-Good day, Mrs. Schneider. May I hold the door open for you?
-Oh Mr. Mustermann, you are so kind. It’s always a pleasure to see you. And by the way, you smell so good again. Are you going for a walk with a nice girl?
-Thank you, Mrs. Schneider! No, I have a business appointment.
-Well then, I wish you much success.
What does the scent do to people? It brings a smile to their faces! And each of them perceives it a little differently. One finds it sweet, another fruity, and yet another sexy, irresistible, unforgettable. And personally, I can’t get enough of it. An unmistakable DNA. Already after the first spray, when I smell the fruity opening, I know that nothing can go wrong today. Sweet, but not sticky. Fruity, but beautifully masculine. An excellent and mature interplay between mandarin and orange. And although I can’t perceive the mint, I’m sure it just perfects the whole thing. I spray and spray and spray; I don’t want to stop spraying.
What happens shortly after? Actually, not much. The scent stays on its path. It gets acquainted with chamomile. Picks up a bit of wood along the way. This makes it even slightly more masculine and mature. And yet the notes it had at the beginning remain. The opening never really disappears. So, anyone who likes the beginning will truly love the end!

Longevity is okay, but the sillage weakens soon. After 5-6 hours, unfortunately, it can only be perceived closely. But it’s more of a "freshie," so that’s understandable. The bottle is cute, small, but feels high-quality and fits nicely in the hand. The spray head is fine. I would wish for a stronger spray, but that’s complaining at a high level.

At the end of the day, Baldessarini Concentree is a wonderful sweet-fruity-woody all-rounder. I can’t imagine a situation where it wouldn’t be well received. I myself have received countless compliments. Since I owned the lighter version at 18, I can’t say it’s not suitable for someone else. Those who live in glass houses...
