"Darkness" - what a name... perfect for my mood, oriental-gourmand, it crowns my decision on which fragrance from the little travel package I want to test first.
One spray on my forearm and I recoil in shock. What is this? Darkness?
No... DuschDas!
Memories come flooding back:
××The first time showering in my boyfriend's apartment, a spontaneous decision, no toiletries with me, so it must be shower gel... inappropriate, uncomfortable but somehow nice. Maybe this will turn into something serious?××
××My first men's fragrance, which I bought at 14: Otto Kern's Signature. Who knows what possessed me back then. I didn't end up wearing it anyway.××
The scent is, for me, especially at the beginning, the cheapest shower gel synthetic. And above all, it is glaringly bright. When I think of color associations, chrome or bright green come to mind. That wouldn't be so bad, because this sweet citrus-musk cloud is not unpleasant, but what does that have to do with oriental, gourmand, or my beloved amber?
Just before contacting the nice sender of the travel package to check if the labeling is correct, I read the sparse comments about this fragrance.
"Synthetic start fades."
Alright, I will wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Indeed, after about an hour, I can perceive a slight change. It becomes a bit woodier and more austere, I think of oud, albeit a rather weak one that shyly stays in the background, probably doing me a favor because this new note in the otherwise sweet-fresh accord clashes for my nose. It gives the simple balanced scent some depth, but this is so out of tune with the sweetness that everything starts to turn a bit sour, and I actually feel a bit queasy in my stomach.
But it seems to change, and I wait eagerly for the base.
However, not much more happens. The "black amber," which is probably responsible for my oud association, lingers a bit longer and works with vanilla against the zesty top, but with moderate success.
What remains is a hint of imbalance, which now, after about 6 hours, departs without putting up a fight.
No gourmand, no oriental, no darkness.
I will file it away.
