I can't quite understand the enthusiasm that currently surrounds this EdT. Through the numerous comments and blogs, I absolutely wanted to test September. And I did: in the morning / during the day, in the evening / at night. I sprayed September generously, reapplying several times to get me through the day, so to speak. Unfortunately, on my skin, the scent is very fleeting at all times. I also don't find an exciting scent development, which I didn't really expect either.
Nevertheless, I rated the scent itself at a solid 70% because I find it pleasant and very wearable. Moreover, I actually see a true unisex fragrance here. However, those who want a real orange scent, like a large glass of orange juice that you can sip for a long time, instead of a small spritzer, should turn to Orange Sanguine (Atelier Cologne). I'm also curious about the comparison with 02 Owari (Odin NY), which seems to be similar at least on the test strip.
One more piece of information for bottle lovers: Apparently, the current version of September will be the last in a printed bottle. The following bottles (all fragrances in this series from Kormann seem to have the same) will only be distinguishable by a hanging label.
@Nannyplum: You're talking about total anosmia. This is about a specific anosmia. And we all have anosmia to something, whether it's Galaxolid or Javanol, even without being sick.
Hi Angua, I don't understand... I was with Mr. Kormann four weeks ago. Javanol smells nice to me, and September as a whole does too. What did you mean? Or were you addressing the commenter?
Is "anosmia" generally not allowed in this context because it has a specific meaning for ENT doctors? But it's probably not just a simple key-lock principle. Anyway, I'm glad I wasn't there for the spraying.
Anosmia refers to a medical condition where the affected person cannot smell anything at all. Being able to perceive Javanol or not is related to the lock-and-key principle of scent recognition and has nothing to do with anosmia.
@Louce That could be the reason. I also rated the sillage and longevity as mediocre. However, much later, I was approached about the perfume, so it must have been noticeable after all. (?) How can you test for anosmia?
The anosmia rate for Javanol is really high. What you’re describing sounds a lot like a "September" without Javanol (orange scent, short-lasting, without development).
