Cologne joy
Uwe Manasse, one of the heads of the fragrance company in Cologne and creator of the Cologne Delight, likes to describe perfume as invisible jewellery. This description is correct, because here he has created a real piece of jewelry
Rare enough, but Cologne Delight begins directly with a "WOW effect". The fragrance doesn't start with the usual quick-flying top note, but gives away all the scents from the first spray. And they have it in them. Red blossoms bedded on delicate, woody notes surrounded by a subtle amber-tonka sweetness that never gets pushy or too much. A powdery creaminess (or is it a creamy powder?) refines the composition, which definitely has a slight oriental touch and also has a certain depth, but doesn't get too complex. What I personally find particularly pleasing and surprising is that the tuberose is very restrained here and is therefore one of the very few that I find (bearable). All notes of the pyramid are actually perceptible without dominating.
The Sillage is not space filling, rather a little more than body filling. The durability is in a good range, after 5 hours I can still perceive Cologne Delight well.
I would classify the fragrance as a unisex all-rounder that should suit every occasion.
With Cologne Delight, or translated Kölner Freude, Uwe Manasse has not only created a piece of jewellery, but a work of art. And at a price that is very affordable.
