Powdery freshness
I like the Allure Homme Édition Blanche Eau de Parfum flanker the best out of the whole range. Many write that the fragrance is extremely refreshing - I see it a little differently.
First of all: the atomizer is great. There's a lot coming out of it.
The opening immediately shows which direction the whole thing is going in and gives me a great complexity for a designer: authentic lemon, but above all a lot of spice from the pepper. Smell the spray directly on the skin at close range - the pepper really kicks in. After about 15 minutes, however, the slightly spicy opening immediately subsides. And then this powdery note comes into play, which takes away some of the supposed lemon freshness for me.
For me, sandalwood and tonka create a mixture that is spicy and soft and doesn't really have anything to do with "refreshment". Otherwise, any fragrance with lemon in the opening would be refreshing ;-)
Of course, the lemon dominates here and is really great for a designer. For me, for example, it's much more authentic and pleasant than an extremely artificial one like in Imagination (ouch, please spare me...).
But there is always this creamy, spicy-powdery note that makes the fragrance a good choice for the office as well as in the evening with a suit. But never for a visit to the pool on vacation.
It is not just a refreshing lemon fragrance, by any means.
This woody powdery note is always present, from the opening to the end after about 6 hours.
At 30 degrees I definitely find it too exhausting, I'd rather reach for an Afternoon Swim or "Blu Mediterraneo - Fico di Amalfi | Acqua di Parma". They may last shorter, but they give us real summer refreshment vibes - without that spicy, powdery note.
A very solid fragrance. Very high quality for a designer. Spring and the beginning of summer, office, date, everyday.
Bottle is visually so mediocre. A little boring, scratches look very unattractive on it.
But a top spray head.
