A Great Grapefruit...?
Perfection is usually boring. This must be noted with "Light Blue Pour Homme Forever" once again, which implements its grapefruit theme coherent and sparkling, but otherwise completely lacks the edge...
"Light Blue Pour Homme Forever" has a clear vision (unlike the many "cooks at the stove" might suggest) and delivers a casual grapefruit to bite into. From start to finish. From peel to core. Just the perfect balance of light synthetics and tremendous naturalness, of juice and flesh, of effervescence and refreshment, of vitamins and joie de vivre. Naturally a summer prince, naturally a sun worshipper in swim trunks with a classic cut. You have to climb well into the niche to find a better, more authentic and invigorating blood orange. At Atelier Cologne for sure. Otherwise, it's probably going to be thin. This is top notch, this is worthwhile, this alone almost lifts "Forever" into the green zone. And otherwise? Nothing. That's it. There's nothing more to come. Powder shot. No twists, no real character, no positive smut, barely any humanity, and zero surprise. Not even a real drydown can I detect. White, pure musk can always be said, but it's not enough. One theme, one note, one whole level of excitement short with me. Not the "light blue to beat all light blues" it's sometimes made out to be at the moment. But the top note entices and bucks, of course.
Flacon: used to and good color
Sillage: discreet but useful
Durability: weak to okay - 4-5 hours
Conclusion: blood orange or nothing at all! A motto that works out well for itself and its weight class. Compared to some niche grapefruits but absolutely feathers leaves and even somewhat bored. Monothematic midnight snack
