Stunning violet fragrance with poor longevity

Brioni EdP is a very interesting fragrance due to its standout violet note that stays with it for the majority of its life. It comes across to me as classy and sophisticated. For a man say 21 and over, it's pretty versatile - all year, day or night. For a young man under 21, would work best for a dressy or formal occasion. Not overly sweet but not dry. Violet done very well for men. And no, it's not like the Fahrenheit OG - not even a hint of gasoline. Brioni EdP is reserved and would be appealing to most. It would make a great office fragrance because it is subtle but would have to be reapplied at noon, if not sooner.

Unfortunately, where it falls flat is in its performance. I barely got 5 hours out of it. At the 6 hour mark it was undectable, even with nose to skin. After the first 15 minutes or so, it's a very intimate scent with little projection or sillage. I could live with it being close to the skin but not the poor longevity. A real shame for such a great violet scent.

Violet all the way but linear though

This is a violet bomb and for those of you who don’t know what violet smells like it’s basically a very aromatic cucumber in a good way. This fragrance is very simplistic but it has a very gentle kind of classy vibe to it. Both dudes and chicks can easily pull this off so it’s definitely a unisex fragrance. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser for sure so you know everyone is going to like it but at the same time it’s very different. It’s not really a Dior savage kinda of fragrance so it’s not going to be something anyone will have familiarity with. It’s elegant but it’s definitely very versatile as well you can dress up for this and can also dress down for it. It’s very good value because I got my first bottle for $34 and the second bottle for $44 which is good fragrance for this in terms of value. You’re not getting much outside of the iris maybe a very gentle cedar wood and the musk is not very obvious but the violet is very conspicuous.

Amazing violet fragrance but has some restrictions

I would say it is an amazing violet smelling fragrance with a nice base that can be applied casual/office or even summer nights if you go with your friends or soulmate for a casual drink. In my opinion this fragrance is not made to impress or lets say grab the attention from the people around you. I would say it is made for people who are self confident don't want to grab the attention from everybody but only the people you care around you if you know what i mean ^^.

I picked this fragrance because I'm not a big fan of fresh citrus fragrances.

Did I regret this buy? Definitely not !! what could be better ? Longevity for sure...
If you have any question let me know and I will happily try to help.

My Peace with Fahrenheit

When asked about the most terrible perfume for me, I would have undoubtedly answered Fahrenheit around 25-30 years ago. I still have the image of a dance class as a young girl in my mind. Fahrenheit was particularly popular back then, and it seems that men’s perfumes still tend to be over-applied to this day. If I was assigned a dance partner who wore this perfume in excess, I had to make sure I kept my dinner, or Swabian snack, down. This scent hit my stomach so hard with its gasoline-violet note that I could easily feel nauseous.

This new perfume by Michel Almairac, one of my favorite noses, also smells like Fahrenheit. Of course, I immediately remember the first sniff and am back in the dance class, but the scent no longer bothers me. To be honest, I even find it quite successful, even if it doesn’t completely match my taste.

However, I don’t attribute this mismatch to the strong similarity with its big brother from Dior, but rather to the increasingly dominant Ambroxan synthetic, which slowly but surely overlays the notes of violet, wood, and musk. The whole thing becomes increasingly harsh and loses its appeal for my nose, which I find unfortunate. The start with the prevailing violet note and warm woody tones is indeed quite promising. Of course, it’s not as complex as the Dior (of which I also don’t know the current formulation), but the opening of this creation by Almairac gives hope for more, which unfortunately does not come. What a pity. Because the foundations for a classic in a modern outfit were indeed laid.

What truly makes me happy, however - Ambroxan or not - is that this spritzy violet no longer causes me stomach pains. With some scents from my youth that I desperately wanted back then and had the chance to sniff again today, my love has rather faded. Here, however, the exact opposite happened. I believe I’m starting to actually like Fahrenheit a little. I’ve crossed it off my no-go list, at least.

A big thank you to Bastian for the testing opportunity.

The Gentle Roman

Hello, I’m back again. Today I will be reporting on the men’s fragrance from Rome.
*Brioni*
What doesn’t come to mind when I think of the Eternal City.
I’ve been there up to 5 times and it fascinates me again and again.
Yes, to be precise, I love this city and the people there.

ROME
The city on the Tiber was founded on April 21, 753 BC by Romulus. You know,
Romulus, the party pooper who killed his twin brother Remus, just because he made fun of the city wall built by Romulus.
Okay... okay... that’s already a reason to take someone out... Hello? Why funny?
He just couldn’t distinguish between fun and seriousness. Apparently, that still exists today...
Such people... just as a side note... I noticed it..... Had to be!!!

BRIONI
Shortly after the assassination of Romulus in 1945, Brioni was founded. The men’s outfitter of the upper league.
Tailored suits from 5000 to 40,000 euros...
But we know that, we have enough of them in our wardrobe. Just as a side note, there are now underwear that you can get for a ridiculous bargain price of 400 euros.
Well, let’s see, maybe I’ll go for it. Although, they only have 3 holes too.

THE FRAGRANCE

NOW it comes... The bomb!
The perfume is available from 70 euros.
Yes, you read that right. Not 7000 euros but 70 euros. That for 70ml.
And I can tell you, it’s an elegant little water of the finest.
The scent DNA is similar to that of Dior Fahrenheit. But not as intrusive and strong.
Brioni scores more with reserved and stylish elegance.
These ozonic notes with apple create a fresh, bizarrely unique scent.
The wood and tonka beans give it an old-school vibe that is simply fabulous.
Even though there are parallels to Fahrenheit, it is still a completely independent fragrance.

It wasn’t love at first spray for me, like with Oud Burmi, but it quietly snuck into my heart.

Now I’ve bought it. And I’m a proud
Brioni owner.

CONCLUSION
Whoever is looking for a slightly more reserved fragrance,
that is elegant, stylish, and yes, almost always wearable, should test this one.

I’m glad it was in my mailbox as a scent sample. Otherwise, I probably would have never gotten to know it.

My thanks go to the lovely Mrs. Kirsche,
She had the fragrance as an original sample and thought it might be something for Bastian.

Let me tell you something, dear Kirsche, you were absolutely right. Thanks for that.

Yours, Basti.

PS: Don’t think for a second, damn, he’s intelligent. All the stuff about Rome can be read on Google. Yes, um... I can read.
