Demachy's ode to the orange
Noses are different and it took me some time to decode this actually minimalist fragrance for myself, but I'm pretty sure that Demachy had an orange as a leitmotif here
The whole thing is very clever, because orange does not officially appear in the list of notes, but for me it is clearly created by aldehydes or their mix with the citrusy top notes.
I also suspect that this is the reason why some people are so irritated and talk about an artificial lemon note or toilet stone.
Because if you only rely on the listed notes and the eye instead of your own nose, expect a lemon and get stuck on the overly citrusy note at the beginning of the fragrance, you don't really notice how this sharp-citrusy opening combines quite quickly with the aldehydes to form an almost perfect, juicy-sour orange accord.
So you 'only' smell a somehow strange lemon and aldehydes 'that envelop everything airily' or whatever bla bla bla is used to describe the fact that you haven't really grasped the fragrance.
Incense, elemi and pink pepper abstract further and apparently make it difficult even for experienced noses to identify this clear orange accord.
Clever Francois Demachy.
The interesting thing: once you have identified the orange in the scent, you can smell it again and again in the course of the fragrance.
A lot of the right things have been said about the fragrance here: citrus and wood, suitable for everyday use, masculine, a certain elegance, but I read almost nothing about orange.
Test it yourself: spray it on, don't concentrate on individual notes and wait until the orange slowly emerges from the fragrance mixture.
In general, this fragrance is an absolute chameleon, sometimes you perceive more wood, sometimes more citrus and there are also short phases at the beginning in which you feel slightly reminded of Christmas incense, but while Homme Cologne is Demachy's ode to grapefruit, Fahrenheit Cologne (the flanker) is all about juicy mandarin, the new Sport is clearly orange and not the artificial aroma of an orange, but a wonderfully juicy-sour, just freshly peeled (blood?)orange.
Conclusion: Aldehydes are used for orange accords for a reason, the fragrance is a real masterpiece and an experience, especially in summer or at high temperatures, and anyone who hallucinates toilet stone here should definitely blow their nose first.
PS: if you want to layer, you should try Molecule 01 or Iso-E-Super
