Pour Homme Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur 2019

Without much preamble, let's get right to it:

The scent creates an incredibly wonderful balance for me between classic perfume artistry and modern nobility.
As if one were to open a wooden spice cabinet and inhale the myriad scents and aromas deeply through the nose!
Clove, pepper, oregano, basil, lavender, allspice, cinnamon... everything somehow wafts around the nose, but to my surprise... very harmonious!

Here, one must truly give great praise to Mr. Staudt, who directs the seemingly endless colorful diversity of scents into orderly paths.
Once the initial herbal onslaught has passed, woody notes come in, paired with a lovely underlying hay aroma.
For me, this is where the scent development is the most balanced and, in my opinion, sets itself apart from the pure "kitchen herb" powerhouses.

The scent impression increasingly shifts towards the woody-oriental, giving the fragrance a more modern touch without losing its "old school" roots.
Everything lingers for a long time until it can settle on a sweet-bitter base!

We are talking about 6 hours of scent experience with a nice strong sillage, which then gradually recedes to make way for a very long-lasting base.
Over 12 hours of longevity are certainly guaranteed.

To put it briefly:
Here, the individual fragrance notes have been so finely woven together (in my humble opinion) that this scent is in no way inferior to timeless classic men's fragrances!
As I mentioned in my little statement, classic men's perfume elements gently meet more modern nuances from the East, elevating the fragrance into modern times.
A true feast for every perfume lover who mourns some old scents but is not closed off to new elements!

P.S. Even though I keep talking about men's classics, the scent is, of course, also wearable by women.

Only those who approach this with the expectation of a "La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum" will quickly break into tears, as they will discover true perfume artistry with "Pour Homme," which has long shed the stigma of "sweet" and "flowers" and soars to new heights!
