Splish Splash - today I take a lemon ...
Over 40°C in Germany. It's thaw for fat men and the whole nation is sweating collectively. In this climate, you either don't use any perfume at all or you decide on something aquatic, fruity, fresh - or even with the all-rounder lemon.
Although this is only thematically present in Citrus Splash by Birkholz, bergamot and neroli are roughly citrus fruits and spread the aura of summer freshness and lightness - something you would like to spray on your tongue. For the first few seconds, the eau de parfum gets down to business in a poundy-sour way, without giving the impression of toilet cleaner or artificiality.
Unfortunately, the effect fizzles out faster than from now until now. What follows is a minimal approach of tea with a floral base, followed by some bergamot, which is pressed deeper and deeper until the slightly woody cedar develops.
Surprisingly, the base note lasts for many hours, albeit very timidly and close to the body.
All in all, I would have expected a little more from Citrus Splash. After all, the Berlin fragrance label Birkholz otherwise does quite a good olfactory job, even though its marketing is quite bumpy. Also the prices are absolutely self-confident, but at least you have to keep in mind that you also offer small sizes.
Nevertheless I prefer to take a bath instead of lemon in this weather ... a beautiful cool above all!
