Fragrance: extremely pleasant - Price: extremely abnormal
This fragrance is above all one thing: completely overpriced! But I got to him via detours, so I didn't have to leaf 250 Euronen (already reduced) for 50 ml, which I would never have done. The list of ingredients is quite clear, which doesn't have to mean anything bad. What the hell is Immortelle, did I ask myself first?! I have already seen this plant very often, because it can be found in the Mediterranean area at almost every roadside. Her smell, however, had never struck me before ... So I can't say to what extent "Rococo - Immortelle" (RI) smells like this and how well this perfume reflects nature
The same applies to papyrus, which occurred to me that this is also contained in Lalique's "Hommage à l'Homme Voyageur". And behold, what a fucking resemblance! RI certainly looks a little more graceful and seems less synthetic, but otherwise we're dealing with the same scent DNA here (my opinion). If you are willing to pay more than five times the price, please do so! ;-) Another comparison can certainly be made with Amouage fragrances such as "Reflection" or "Interlude". Here, too, parallels can be recognized or smelled which lie in the sweet-spicy, oriental basic composition.
Apart from all that, I can't say anything bad about RI. It's undoubtedly more of an evening fragrance that lulls its wearer into balsamic warmth and arouses few or no associations with the mainstream. I'd classify RI as sexy to seductive, but also as a little habitual. Durability and Sillage are at exactly the right level for me. Luckily, you won't find a wooden hammer here. A really subtle hint of smoke provides the necessary masculinity, while the Immortelle (although a flower) has nothing typically floral about it.
The interaction of the ingredients is wonderfully tuned to one another and the quite linear fragrance process pleases me. The top note is far less citric than one would expect from the list of ingredients, but together with the vetiver it ensures that the fragrance does not drift into the heavy or pompous. So if there is one thing that causes a headache here, it is, as I said, the asking price of the good Mr Christian.
