What do you mean "today"?
I used to be called a beanpole. That stopped at some point. Not because I'm no longer one (60 kilos at just under one eighty with the end of 40 - who's against it?), but because of course "I don't want to be heard". But with 'Galantuomo' I suddenly go from bean to cinnamon stick. In the following, we come to the overwhelming evidence in this regard and to the question of why we need the latter.

A touch of anisy-prickly sweetness. On a rough green base (clary sage is ticked off), cinnamon and eugenolgy reinforcement quickly become noticeable. The fruity aspects are behind this layer and can only place a swab. Nevertheless, the information on tangerine, as well as ginger with an announcement, is easy to understand.

The cinnamon idea mixes with the liquorice claim in a funny way. In the sweetness that is well present, I personally see the anise/liquorice theme at the forefront - but the external impact is completely different. The two usual suspects in the office had already asked me for a full serving of cinnamon, but the final point was a short exchange of words between a lady from the graphic department who had never shown herself interested in perfume and my favourite colleague (one of the "two" from above, of course):
"What does this smell like cinnamon?"
"This is Mr. M., he's got a special perfume on today."

That cleared everything up. Almost - because: What does "today" actually mean...?

Gradually, the external cinnamon and internal anisy-limey centre of gravity changes elegantly and seamlessly into a rather green impression. The green part of the fragrance reminds me of the gentleman perfumes 'Nouvelle Collection - Notes' and 'Cravache' from Piguet. By no means as twins, I simply mean this nobly distinguished, creamy, greenish style.

Around noon there is a change of scene, so to speak. First towards the green with vanilla. It could also have Tonka sweetness in it. Unverriechens develops 'Galantuomo' then however additionally a Halspastillen leather appearance like in some sweeter leather smells, or such, which work basal with sweetness, up to bangers like 'Knize Ten'. Unfortunately, in the course of the afternoon, the leather idea at least partly arouses the suspicion that a furry pea artificial wood is involved. Not even the vanilla, which is added more and more in strong spoon egg, is able to whitewash this. Caught!?! Oh yes, in my office there is an olfactory OBI advertisement on return after a longer absence.

As a stylistic reference I now remember 'Aviation Club' by Monsillage, which seemed to me to follow a similar path from green to camouflage leather (optionally one from the Irish Leather corner) to artificial wood. I apologize for any inaccuracies, but the direction should be clear. Galantuomo' experiences the evening only as a hunch.

Conclusion: A tidy fragrance that will certainly not be a toast. Unfortunately, he resolutely avoids turning one or the other unexpected turn into entertainment value. The sibling scent 'Gourmand', tested about a year ago, I found fingerschnippiger.

I thank Garcon for the rehearsal. Strictly speaking, there are even two testers that I got from him and am now allowed to pluck.
