not a world champion and no Formula 1
I recently reorganized my perfume cabinet and came across a black bottle with a red screw cap and the inscription Michael Schumacher World Champion.

Unfortunately, I couldn't remember for the life of me what the aftershave smells like or if I used it often.
The only thing I recall is when I purchased the bottle, exactly one day after Michael's 3rd world championship title in Formula 1, back when he was driving for Ferrari.

I was a real fan of M. Schumacher and Ferrari back then, even bought a coffee mug with the prancing horse, well, that was a long time ago and many other fragrances ago.

How should I best describe the scent? Well, I opened the bottle and carefully smelled it.
I’m treading lightly here, but the scent is quite bad for my not particularly good nose, to put it mildly, it really stings the nose; on my skin, it becomes a bit calmer and softer but not better.

Unfortunately, I can't identify any of the individual notes listed in the pyramid; everything blends together and smells only sharply of artificial synthetic brew.

No, did I really buy this stuff or has it gone bad? I will never get an answer to that because I will never smell it again, and I certainly won’t use this creation anymore.

At this point, a thank you and a bow to Michael Schumacher's achievements in Formula 1, you have given me countless exciting minutes.
Actually, I didn't want to comment on this absolute non-masterpiece, as I have already read one comment here and my insignificant opinion shows no noteworthy differences, but I changed my mind.
Should a brave perfume lover read my comment and want to use the product, I would gladly send them the entire bottle for the shipping cost of 4 euros, insured shipping with Hermes.

To conclude, just a note, this is an aftershave.

Like a freshly painted total loss
Nothing against Formula 1. I have eagerly followed it since my childhood days.
Nothing against Michael Schumacher. He has done a lot for the king class of motorsport - not just from a German perspective.
And nothing against LR. They have at least shown me with one fragrance that they can do a little something.

But what has been committed here once again is a contribution to the world championship of tastelessness.

First of all, you can confidently throw the information about the fragrance pyramid in the trash. Maybe LR scraped its ingredients from the container at a waste material recycler, but "naturally" nothing smells here. Orange? Amber? Woods? Not a chance!
This World Champion smells dull and synthetic - everything but what you would like to have on your skin. The only thing that comes across as somewhat authentic is the underlying note of old racing driver's socks after a Formula 1 weekend, including pre-training.
The very start of this abomination hurts my olfactory bulb. One should actually be warned by that.

However, I could imagine that Michael Schumacher mixed this product into his tank so that his exhaust fumes would stun all the competitors behind him. But I would rather believe that driving skill was the foundation of his successes and that he did not have to resort to such unfair means from LR.

But: if this is supposed to be the scent of the World Champion, how bad must the one from the vice-world champion be? Or from the last place?

No - unfortunately, Michael Schumacher has braked himself in the naming of this. Such a crude maneuver over the taste buds - even if they belong to the fans - is not worthy of a world champion.

Affordable Boss Bottled clone with a bit of sharpness. H/S is fine, price is good, and LR focuses on natural, "healthy" ingredients.
