17 Oud Mosaic Banana Republic 2017

As so often at night I lay awake and bought, almost as if in a trance, the one or other Cheapie in the souk to increase my collection.
After a short fly over the fragrance pyramid and the realization that it would be for 15 euros yes no big risk to buy this fragrance, he was ordered directly and I could finally sleep.

A few days later, he then arrived (I had honestly forgotten again that I had ordered him) and was distributed only a few minutes later, with little expectation, on the crook of my arm.
Had I but a little more Expected, because completely unexpectedly immediately haute me a lush scent of fermented plums and peppery rose from the socks.
Dry, a bit pungent and really stale in the first moment.
I had to think immediately of a group of sprightly pensioners, who had dressed up a bit for the city trip at the weekend and once again pulled the miniature of their old favorite fragrance for it from the closet.

This impression dissipated, however, already after 30 seconds and a really pleasing, well-tuned and dry-sweet oud-rose fragrance opened up.
The really well hit plum disappears a bit in the background, but carries the woody, floral and spicy fragrance notes throughout with a pleasant subtle sweetness.

After 30 minutes, the fragrance had gone through its roughest change and it remained a noble and really pleasing fragrance , which remains in the memory mainly through rose and pepper .
Oud and plum I perceive only woody and dry-sweet in the background. Like a light powdered sugar cloud that carries the fragrance. Very noble and pleasant.

For this price, the durability is really excellent, even 8 hours after my test with only one spray, I perceived the fragrance very present on the skin.
The sillage weakens after 5 hours a little, but what is completely ok and I think for this fragrance also necessary .

So who is looking for a noble and classic Ausgehduft with the necessary seriousness for a small thaler, which is exactly right here.

Since this was my first fragrance from Banana Republic, I am after the positive test already very excited about my next bargains.
