Heard it all before

There were many composers - like Franz Krommer - who sounded a bit like Mozart. But when Mozart was so sublime, you wonder why they bothered.
Well, the fact of the matter is, Krommer worked for the Austrian Emperor. His style may have been derivative but he made money from it.

And, as with music, so with perfume.
Caron, and everyone else in the business knows, there is always scope for one more version of the latest tune. Or in this case a medley of Greatest Hits: a spiky wood masculine (Sauvage et al) with hazelnut (Fat Electrician etc) and a background of grapefruit and vetiver (Terre d'Hermès).

Put it into the Pour un Homme bottle, give it a recycled name - which recalls your heritage - and away you go with your new 'Mozart' melody, or whatever...

Even though I don't like the style, I must say this isn't too bad - better than most spiky woods - and things seem to be going in the right direction here...

'Love Me as I am' - or not, it could have been worse. But it could have been much much better - it could have been an original tune by a new wunderkind.

Quo vadis, Caron?

A few weeks ago, I suddenly missed - and hard - Nuit de Noël, which probably had to do with the approaching Christmas season. However, since I had run out of the finest version of the fragrance, the Extrait, and only this could have made me happy, I dismissed the thought of a new purchase due to the price. Nevertheless, my attention fell on this new men's fragrance: "Love me as I am"... and I wanted to know if I would be able to do that.
First of all: AMCJS, you have your good sides - but I will never love you.
What fragrances has Caron gifted to the world! The fairy-tale Nuit de Noël, the sacred Sacre, the champagne bath! The men's classics "The Third Man" and Yatagan!
The incredibly beautiful vintages Tabac Blond and Poivre, etc., etc.
Caron once held almost the same status as Guerlain in my eyes, until around the 90s. Then those who had a say at C. seemed to lose a bit of touch. (One could also bring G. into the game, who must have experienced something similar by the end of the decade, but G. managed to turn it around, which is probably due to the takeover by LVMH)
In any case, Caron lost some of its shine as a result. There were a few respectable successes, including Aimez-moi, the female version of this fragrance, but nothing that would make me swoon. If anything, I turned back to the "old" fragrances, which are partly unsurpassed in quality.
Of course, one must also consider how to attract the younger audience to Caron today, but without, for example, the financial backing of LVMH and the expertise of Polge, Wasser, and others, it will be difficult. Balancing trend / history / quality / uniqueness has not been achieved by C. with AMCJS.
The fragrance starts off slightly synthetic-woody with a lot of green and sour freshness, which I would overall describe as not unfamiliar and almost classically masculine. Not bad, but also not new.
Then comes the "fashionable" twist - the gourmand hazelnut. I've always found it beautiful, and here as well. It rounds out the woody-green edges, making them more beautiful and softer, without pulling the fragrance into the sometimes annoying chocolate direction. (Who can still eat chocolates two weeks after Christmas?)
Also interesting is the slight ginger spiciness, which I really like in fragrances. It surprisingly accompanies the scent for a long time and enters into a pleasant, less ultra-masculine relationship with the not-so-sweet nut. But that's about it, as nothing more happens after that.
If a drugstore scent or something "mainstream" had stood before me, I might have been more lenient with it - but from Caron, I would have wished for a real hit right now. Unfortunately, AMCJS is not one, at best a nice attempt that doesn't hurt anyone.
I wish the house of Caron what I wish for all of us: Back from the depths into life! French Can-Can everywhere!
