Lüneburg

Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut,
but something rode me to say something.
"Interesting rumor hashed on you today..." I began.
"Sweet but spicy at the same time. Striking but still harmo-
nish..."
"Platitude but cliché..." Richie flew at
and sniffed at his forearm.
"You're like an advertising fuzzi. But you're right,
it's not so bad."
The joke was the one - I knew exactly what he was on
sprayed on him. Had a dent in his jacket in the hallway-
i saw him in a bag and took a quick peek. Or gripped.
I know you don't. Got it right back
the Burberry London bottle with the check
Coulter drum. 30 ml., special offer, receipt included.
So the game could start.
So I'm like, "What the hell is that?"
"I don't know, I tested somewhere today..."
"I'm getting better and better... Bitter-sweet, that's the right one
Expression. And a little like mulled wine..."
"Findste? I can't smell a cheap plörre in there."
"Nah, you're right, more like... Sweet wine, Chateau d'Yquem
maybe...with tender leather..."
"Exactly!"
"...and finest vanilla pipe-tobacco..."
"Maybe so..."
"But it reminds me of something... i think... let
i'll sniff... yes, exactly... Ungaro III."
"You're really good, that's what this is about!"
Where'd you test it?"
"I don't know anymore... somewhere in the bend zone..."
"Come on. In the bending zone. Stand probably
between Ebène of Balmain and Maccassar...
Besides, the Ungaro is more floral and unsweeter."
"Maybe it was something else, but it doesn't matter."
"Too bad you don't know anymore..."
"Bullshit! That's probably just the mixture anyway
to my sweater, Richie special mix from the last
Weeks of testing..."
"Then let's find a name for it..."
"If it makes you happy..."
"...I'd like a city name... how about Amsterdam?"
"Whatever..."
"Or even... London?"
Richie froze for a second "Nah, junk idea. "So not a good fit"..."
"All right... Perhaps... um... Lüneburg? Old town,
Tradition, historical depth, understatement, romance..."
"Yes, I wouldn't think soo wrong..."
"Sounds good combined with 'nem renowned
Manufacturer... like "Burberry Lüneburg"...
Now he got really nervous.
"Are you stupid? But not mainstream for
the Richie Special!"
"OKAY. Like, "Juliette Has A Gun Lüneburg..."
"More like..."
"Or better yet, individually tailored to you: "
"Richie Hates Mainstream Lüneburg"
"Now hammers!"
"But of course without Flanker - so never something like
"Richie Hates Mainstream Lüneburg Sports"
"Of course not"
"Then it's all clear."
"Crystal clear, Richie!"
It turned out to be quite a night.

The fireplace room fragrance

Now that the cold season is spreading step by step into our regions again, the autumn/winter scents are coming into play again. An absolute favourite for me is Burberry London, because he skilfully transports for me the picture of an old English manor house with a cosy fireplace room together with the corresponding furniture. A warm fire crackles in the fireplace, while outside wind and rain whip against the windows. The house is tea time and Earl Grey tea is served. In the air there is now a pleasant smell of black tea, bergamot and English lavender. A little pepper and cinnamon are also perceptible. Together with a soft leather scent of the old armchairs and a pinch of good cherry tobacco in my nose I close my eyes and enjoy the moment. The senses sharpen and after a while the Earl Grey tea scent decreases a little. Smells of chypre-like leather, framed by honey-sweet mimosas and a strong shot of port wine spread more and more. The port wine lends a very calming note to the already gentle fragrance experience. Time passes and the fireplace has already burned down. Have I really been sitting here five hours? The room now has a wonderful, delicious tobacco atmosphere with a scent of tobacco leaves, guaiac wood, earthy oakmoss, as well as nutty Opoopnax.
If you want to experience an afternoon like this, you should give Burberry London for Men a chance. A recommendation can definitely be made for those who like Earl Grey tea or flavoured pipe tobacco. I for one am a fan of these things ...

Your favorite sports wine (without the headache)

Preliminary: To this day, I can not understand how such a fragrance at a really good price in the drugstore in my small town next to Diesel can stand.

Burberry London has been with me every winter for about 10 years, on and off, and for good reason. Not every day, but regularly enough to really get to know it.

As all the previous speakers confirm - London can be worn exclusively in winter.
And that's exactly where it belongs. Not that it can't do justice to cooler autumn days - but that's not where it wants to be.
London is like a Christmas holiday. Full of anticipation of good food, good beer, family and the comforting feeling of these days, you apply a few spritzes: London starts off very spicy with pepper and cinnamon. Direct, even subconscious associations to the spice stall at the Christmas market, speculoos, cinnamon stars come up. The transition to the port in the heart is fluid and similarly beguiling as a glass too much of it. Only without the headache :) Minimally sweet and a hint of fruit: The note gives at the same time the warmth, which gives you the security of Christmas.
And so the fragrance, if you briefly sniff the cap, reminds one (s) even in midsummer to the end of the year, the snow, the hot tea, the short days, the wool blankets, the peace, the coziness. Of all the beauty this time of year brings. London does exactly what a perfume should do.

In my opinion, London is massively underrated and worth at least a probiererle in the drugstore around the corner!

The God's House fragrance that smells like Christmas eve

I always liked the scent of pipe moist tobacco.
I never smoked a pipe. I can only feel that scent either in Tobacco shops or projected by pipe smokers while they are filling the pipe using their own ritual for it.
An added pleasure can be grasping a small glass of sweet red Port Wine and sipping the liquor wine, bit by bit, while the pipe moist tobacco scent is lingering in the air.
I am also not familiar with the work of "nose" Maisondieu ("God's House", in French) but it must be someone with very good taste. He had the enlightenment of reuniting the above-mentioned notes in a perfume flask. In his portfolio, you may find Bottega Veneta pour Homme Parfum, Balmain de Balmain, Armani Code and Velvet Orchid ... impressive to say the least.
London became pretty common on the shelves and kind of lost all the initial hype. It deserves to be remembered.
If Burberry London would be converted into a still picture, it would be for sure the portrait of Sean Connery rocking a Peter's pipe while sipping Port Wine from a goblet in "MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS".
If Burberry London was music, it would be George Michael's Last Christmas performed by the Jazz and Blues Experience band.

The London flask is imaginative although not particularly easy to handle. The Burberry pattern tissue covering the flask slips a bit.
After a generous couple of sprays, the unnerving notes of bergamot and lavender seem to dominate your surroundings. You should wait for the scent to settle so you may feel its charm through the spreading of an unmistakable cinnamon note with gingerbread spices.
In the hearth, cinnamon and leather come together into foreplay. At this stage, the fragrance suggests a Merry Christmas postcard and the gathering of all our loved ones.
Cheers! The sweet notes of Port Wine draw your attention, making the holiday image even more vivid. The tobacco scent lingers in the air, blending itself with the strong presence of leather and cinnamon till the drydown. In the Christmas family photo, grandpa is preparing its pipe with Virginia moist tobacco.
It is during the drydown that the trace of moist tobacco accentuates again. It's a warm, woody and ambary scent. An enchanting beautiful scent, really.
However, the performance is average, and you may enjoy this Christmas picture for five or six hours at the most.

Let me check the features of this Burberry Christmas postcard, disguised as a fragrance:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
- Scent Opening: ........... 8.5 (very nice citrus, gingerbread spices and cinnamon)
- Scent Drydown ........... 9.5 (even better with tamed leather with Port wine and moist tobacco)
- Longevity: ................... 7.0 (less than 7 hours with 2 good sprays)
- Sillage: ......................... 7.0 (4 feet at its peak with 2 good sprays; up to 2 hours of projection)
- Wearability ................. 9.0 (the EDT sweetness is very classy and alluring. The cinnamon-leather-tobacco blending contributes to suggest all sorts of situations where you can safely wear London either like a signature scent or an office fragrance, in leisure situations, in dinners, conventions, receptions, weddings, dining out, dates, intimacy ... but not really work out, beach or sweating activities.)
- Versatility: .................... 9.0 (Don't use it on sunny summer days, outdoor activities, or as an outdoor fragrance on cold winter nights)
- Compliments: .............. 8.5 (With an increasing number of people enjoying sweet fragrances, I really do think that this fragrance will please a wide range of people of both genders)
- Uniqueness: ................ 8.5 (This fragrance has a "unique" aura, although some cheap imitations have been produced like Cuba Red. I never tried Oriflame's Architect which is supposed to be a "look-alike" of Burberry London)
- Quality: ........................ 8.5 (great tobacco, leather and cinnamon notes; great blending as well; I still have difficulties when grasping the bottle tissue cover. Probably the Burberry tissue artisans are saving on the glue spreading between the Burberry pattern cloth and the flask glass. Nice sprayer though.)
- Presentation: ............... 9.5 (nice, simple and very attractive.)
- Price: ............................ 10.0 (You can get a 100 ml tester of this quality juice for 20 Euros plus taxes and shipping)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
- Average: ..... 8.64 / 10.00
- between 7 and 8 = above average;
- between 8 and 9 = recommended;
- bigger than 9 = don't miss it;

Opinion on Burberry London:
Just go and grab one flask for yourself. If you already have one, get a backup bottle. It's probably Burberry best fragrance.
Is it good enough for a blind buy? Yes, it is! Despite its somewhat uniqueness, it is very consensual as well.

Music: "Last Christmas" performed by the Jazz and Blues Experience Band.

Worth checking!

Despite I highly respect their fashion side, I’ve never really been a fan of Burberry fragrances. London and Touch are basically the only ones I consider worth trying and/or having, and especially London. I am much of a fan of Antoine Maisondieu, and if you like him too, London is surely one not to miss. The notes may seem “conventional”, but the result is well distinctive and peculiar. It opens with a really nice and sophisticated sort of crisp, greenish, herbal tobacco accord rounded by a fantastic and really recognizable note of mimosa (that sort of warm “pollen” feel), and an equally unusual frame of notes ranging from slightly honeyed-fruity, to ambery (“ambroxan-ish”, actually), resinous-sweet and slightly floral, all topped with a sprinkle of spices; quite complex if you ask me, but it works just perfectly. Leather is listed, but you’ll have to dig for it, and it’s the usual sort of contemporary leather – subtle, clean, “polished” leather. Shortly it’s a sort of thin, quite discreet and really clean “contemporary herbal-Oriental” scent revolving around tobacco with a sprinkle of color around it - from greenish, to spicy, to that fruiy-resinous-floral stuff. It has a sort of “niche” vibe, it smells creative and quite different from the usual mainstream paths, and the quality seems really good to my nose. The evolution is funny; the opening is quite bold and intriguing, then it looks like disappearing from your skin for a while, then it “arises” back again with a persistent and cozy drydown mostly comprising tobacco, leather and dusty-incense amber, still with a “manly” floral-honeyed nuance. Worth having for me; it isn’t a masterpiece but it smells good, classy, distinctive, rather “young” (in a positive meaning), much discreet but with a solid sillage, “contemporary” and with that sort of transparent, crisp cleanness that characterizes Maisondieu’s style. Well worth the cheap price.

7,5/10
