Le Gemme - Tygar Bvlgari 2016

Inspired by Kerala, the spice garden of India, comes a fresh fragrance that is second to none! With its high-quality and powerful ingredients, it reflects the richness and elegance of the maharajah era and at the same time charismatically leads them into an avant-garde future. The fragrance journey begins with a citrus-fresh accord of juicy grapefruit and spicy ginger. Luxurious ambergris rounds off the fragrance and lends it an incomparable depth. Inspired by the elegance and grace of... xXxOooo .. . >C: #promt fcuk // error

'parfuKI Service Desk, how can I help you?'
'Yes, hello first of all, I just created a great text for a fragrance with the latest version of parfuKI, but then the app crashed.'
'Oh, that's unfortunate. Have you tried restarting it yet?'
'Yes, of course, but the AI now only responds to requests with insulting and obscene nursery rhymes.'
'That's actually new, could you give me an example?'
'I'd rather not, it's too embarrassing for me to read out...'
'Too bad, would have been interesting for our research. Unfortunately, we had a few problems with the latest version, it now seems to be too intelligent for some tasks. There can be problems with queries that require a strong discrepancy between imagination and factuality.'
'Facticity huh...?'
'In other words: if the scent is to be praised even though it's actually crap, the AI doesn't like it.'
'But what do I do now, of course the fragrance is crap, otherwise I wouldn't write anything about it, but I have a deadline at the agency! I can't make it all up myself.'
'No, of course not, that's what parfuKI is for! Just use the previous version, it's stupid and does what it's told.'
'Thank you parfuKI, you are my salvation!'

First of all: the text was created without AI, but I copied it from the Bvlgari homepage and was also inspired by other sources. So maybe there is some AI in it indirectly, but filtered through my brain. In this respect, you can no longer speak of artificial, perhaps not even of intelligence.

Le Gemme - Tygar starts with a very clear grapefruit, fresh and fruity. Unfortunately, the grapefruit is also very musty and slightly acrid, as if mixed with a hint of indolic jasmine. I often have this problem with grapefruit, so this may just be personal perception. After 5 minutes, the fragrance becomes sweeter, slightly resinous and the mustiness fades. However, I no longer recognize the grapefruit as such, it is vaguely sweet, resinous and fruity. The fragrance is not particularly fresh, I don't recognize the ginger mentioned here (it doesn't appear in Bvlgari either). As the fragrance progresses, the ambrox (Bvlgari speaks of ambergris, you can still hear the laughter of the marketing department echoing in the background) becomes clearer, it becomes sweeter and slightly woody. The ambrox doesn't stand out too much on the nose here and also holds back with shower-gel tendencies, which is the most positive thing you can say about Tygar. Only in the base does the wood become somewhat drier and very slightly pungent.

Le Gemme - Tygar currently has a rating of 8.4, which is a mystery that I don't understand, as this is primarily a boring, random designer fragrance of the synthetic type that is available in abundance. Yes, it doesn't hurt much and the synthetics could be worse, but is that enough for the price? Everyone can decide for themselves, but I find it interesting that it doesn't have to be that way, as Le Gemme - Kobraa shows: the same perfumer only four years later and a completely different fragrance experience.

Reading tip: the entry on Le Gemme - Tygar on the Bvlgari homepage, this is real satire at its best.
