Freetrapper D.S. & Durga 2011

Well great, now I'm sitting here all alone. The fire is out and it's getting dark. And it's only early afternoon. One shouldn't get involved with strange guys met in the woods... But let's take it step by step.
I met him on a trip into the wilderness. What struck me first was his fresh, light pine scent. Invigorating, friendly (not prickly) needles they were. An inviting intro. Who wouldn't want to get closer?
After about half an hour, a fine wood note joined in but didn't stay long. I could already tell - he was a bit reserved. But I was already hooked. At times, I thought I could subtly perceive a lovely floral note, and later a hint of incense wafted by. After about an hour, the citrus notes slowly said goodbye, but never completely. A bit of their aroma (without acidity) remained. I could clearly see them peeking out from behind the bushes to see how things were progressing between us.
There were other facets, but they kept very much in the background, only shading the trapper here and there. A very subtle smoky note, for example, from the campfire we were warming ourselves by, and a hint of rubber. Normally, I steer clear of rubber. But here, in the vastness of the prairie, it blended softly and warmly into the overall picture. Somewhere, far beneath everything else, a small wild animal brushed through the underbrush. But it remained shyly hidden, never fully revealing itself. Because "he's not that kind of guy," the trapper.
So I feel very comfortable, smiling to myself, taking care of real life for a while, and thinking that this could be something solid between us. When I then turn back to the trapper (my wrist) in hopes of a kiss - he's gone!?! After just 3.5 hours?! His aura still lingers in the air... yet (realistically speaking) the guy has vanished.
But wait - there's a card. He actually wrote down where I can find him if I want more. Great, I bet I'll be stuck with the bill for the bottle.
And it won't be cheap, because for a whole day with Trapperboy, you'd have to reapply 3 times, and then a flask like that is just enough for a summer fling. Under these circumstances, I really have to think carefully about giving us a chance.
However... he is truly an attractive and smooth guy...

Freetrapper is a light, calm, gentle, and indeed elegant feel-good scent that effortlessly masters the connection of warm and fresh, of soothing and invigorating. In terms of intensity, he is light but noticeable, without needing to bathe in it. The sillage is close to the body. But he is definitely a bit too fleeting for this price range. However, if money is no object, this scent is a safe blind buy for anyone who likes this direction. I can hardly imagine it causing discomfort for anyone.
I greatly appreciate it when notes don't loudly burst in through the door or jump onto the fragrance stage like a flash mob, because a good perfume is also a matter of texture, timing, and skillfully blurred transitions. And this natural guy really excels at that.
Everything flows gently and harmoniously into one another, no note dominates or suppresses the others.
And I keep thinking of another handsome fellow (who has also vanished by now). The two are not twins, but anyone who loves "Insense" by Givenchy will not hate Freetrapper.
