Burning Barbershop D.S. & Durga 2008

Who doesn't know it... you look at your wish list(s) and it itches in your fingers to place a new order with new samples soon. As in my case. This time I was again on ALZD "rumbutschern". The shopping cart was already quite well filled, but suddenly this one fragrance with the "funny" name comes to my face.

BURNING BARBERSHOP???

Surely this is some weird "fragrance artistry" again to have created something fancy!!!!

However, I have just tried my first barbershop or fougére scents.

Including, among other things, THE masterpiece Invasion Barbare as well as the price-performance cracker Beau de Jour Eau de Parfum.

In contrast, this sample will certainly "go up in smoke"...

Well, suitable for the weekend so my package arrives and as it happens, I take me so the random / spontaneously purchased sample as the first and am curious what awaits me.

The Opening:

The fragrance starts very fresh and tangy, especially by the lime and green mint. Through the hemlock joins a minimal green note to it, but really only very subtle.

The middle of the fragrance pyramid:

Unfortunately, I take the lavender was not quite as strong again bspw. in one of the above barbershop fragrances, but at least this is present. The rose I must honestly confess, emerges with me in no way, is mMn but anything but tragic.

The base notes and the drydown:

Quite classically, one could now claim / note that now only a smoky note joins the previous components dazugesellt. That is in itself also correct, since I would not necessarily claim to smell burnt oil, hay or a certain sweetness by the vanilla. It is just a smoky note, which gives the whole a completely different "twist".

Conclusion:

For me, this fragrance is one of the most exciting and at the same time most exciting fragrances in my collection. How do you please come up with the idea to combine the fresh and green notes from the top note with a classic note like lavender in the middle to round this off again with a smoky note and thus the complete opposite in the base?!?!!?!

This fragrance is an absolute masterpiece and deserves much more attention in my opinion. I have not smelled this composition so yet and is just extremely extraordinary.

I would recommend this fragrance almost as an everyday signature scent. The only drawback could be for the people and environment at most the smoky note in the base, which of course does not bother me personally at all
