My god. I don’t know if it’s because this was a blind buy and I’m coping hard, but it’s simply amazing.
From the way people described it, I was expecting something futuristic and mysterious. Instead, I found a cheerful, reassuring fragrance. More than Matrixor dystopian, the real keyword here is FRUTIGER AERO: a “nostalgic” future where nature and technology exist in perfect harmony.
Right after spraying, there’s a very strong freshly–cut–grass smell, there’s no other way to say it: it’s insanely good. On top of that you get a pretty bold citrus note and, at least for me, a bit of pepper and a floral nuance, something like rose, although much more delicate compared to the first two.
After the grass and citrus paint the background of this beautiful picture, they make room for the true heart of the fragrance: the saffron-geranium–vinyl triad. I’m not a chemist nor an expert nose, so I honestly can’t explain why it works, but it WORKS. From the reviews I had read, I was worried that the vinyl note would make the fragrance too quirky for daily use or, even worse, give it that “fake cemetery flowers” vibe. Instead, it perfectly bridges the saffron and geranium, enhancing them and giving the scent a touch of originality and nostalgia.
Even at the end of the day, the heart notes remain the stars of the show, while,if I have to be honest,I can’t really detect the base notes listed on Parfumo. Maybe that’s just my lack of experience.
As for performance, longevity is very good, while the sillage is fairly weak. But honestly, since tastes vary from person to person, I actually prefer a perfume that doesn’t choke people who might not like it: I’m insecure, but even if nobody compliments my fragrance from a kilometer away, I’ll manage just fine.
In conclusion: do you want an Andrew Tate sigma–male entrepreneur perfume? Don’t buy this.
Do you want to be happy? Buy it blind.
