SWR3 Grill Party with Johann Lafer
I believe it was around 2006 when the trouble began. The SWR3 Grill Party with Johann Lafer. Star chef grills live in the studio and the listeners are supposed to grill along obediently in front of their radios. The first or second time it might have been quite funny, but at some point the advertising took over. Weeks, yes, often months in advance, the advertising enthusiasts began to stir the pot. And since the aforementioned radio station was always playing somewhere in my hometown, I couldn't escape this grill fanatic and the grinning star chef anywhere. Not only in summer, but also in winter, grilling was done enthusiastically. Of course, there was also the appropriate comedy, which was only truly funny in the eyes of the authors. Yes, I suffered. And I'm sure a whole lot of other people from Baden-Württemberg did too.
Ironically, I had to think of this annoying show when I experienced Beast. The scent is, in contrast to Lafer's radio grill party, not only moderately funny but actually quite enjoyable! I can't really perceive much roast beef or meat at all in Beast. It would take some imagination for that. The grilling fire is also kept rather subtle. Nothing burns on this flame at first. A variety of spices rise to my nose. I can smell not only parsley and pepper but also dill, and I'm convinced I detect a pronounced lovage note. That’s probably where the association with roast beef comes from, as lovage can very well deceive the nose (and also the tongue) into thinking we are dealing with meat or better - meat broth. I like this smell. It brings to mind delicious soups and salad dressings. Furthermore, I am convinced I can sniff out a cumin note. This gives me the impression of oriental spices. I fancy I can smell curry. A currywurst stand? Quite conceivable.
Definitely a scent for star chefs, this #612 Beast. I could very well imagine such a work from Hilde Soliani, one of my favorite perfumers, as she often draws inspiration from good cuisine. Why not have such a spice spectacle on the grill? As long as they leave me in peace with Lafer and his grin. Well then. Enjoy your meal!
A big thank you to Floyd for the sample.
