The Smile of Spices

Not only Munich has a noteworthy Viktualienmarkt. Anyone visiting Augsburg should definitely take a stroll through the Stadtmarkt. In the Viktualien-Halle there is a fairly large spice stand that spreads its aroma into the surroundings. This fluid - but from a distance - reminds me of Colère d`epices. The significant thing is that for me it is not just cardamom and ginger that I perceive, but a interplay across the spice shelves, albeit with a certain distance, so that none is really recognizable anymore.

So, there can be no talk of a choleric outburst or comparable temperamental explosion of spices. We know scents that present much more spices. For me, this is just a hint of spice, especially since the longevity of the top or heart note is anything but temperamental. After a while, only the pleasant, but by no means spectacular base remains for me, and the rest has dissipated.

The fragrance has a fine warm radiance, but does not live up to the expectations that its name evokes.

Spice Frenzy at Its Finest!

I love spices, and they play a role in every recipe I cook. I have many of them, including cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, vanilla, allspice, juniper, cloves, saffron, of course also pepper and paprika as well as chili peppers and chili powder, bay leaves, but also spice blends like curries and masalas. Spices turn even the simplest lunch into an excellent meal. Therefore, I was really looking forward to this test - the last Esteban sample test from Ergoproxy, thanks again, dear one.

And although Colère d’épices - the spice frenzy, as Esteban himself calls this scent - is not a fragrance for me, it has been an experience to test this scent.

The opening is very fresh and peppery - like freshly ground black pepper. Cardamom has a slightly different smell, and in my opinion, it is not present here.

The pepper fades away, and ginger actually comes in, but not in the way I usually know ginger. It’s more like dry ginger, not fresh. The aromatic, fresh ginger note is missing.

After that, I can hardly note any changes, except that the scent becomes darker and the peppery note disappears. Amber and musk may provide the warm, dark base, but I couldn’t detect any vanilla.

So, although I do not agree with the stated pyramid, I do not find the scent bad. It is well made, although a bit weak. The sillage is not really remarkable, and the longevity could - especially for a spice scent - be better. To be accepted by me as a spice scent, it would need to be significantly spicier and not withhold the vanilla in the base.

Colère d’épices is classified as a masculine scent, and I would confirm that. I think it comes out much better on male skin.

I really have to say that the tests of the six samples I received from Ergoproxy have made me curious about the fragrances, and at least three of the six have made it onto my wishlist. Some others also sound very interesting based on the description, and I think I will request a few more samples. Oh yes, Medüschen, they also have a collection of Chypres!

The Wreath of Fine Ingredients

At some point about a hundred and five years ago, I had French lessons, which I quit after two years. Why? I don't like the language, even though I was born relatively close to France and had to spend the first 19 years there. And the local dialect is, of course, peppered with French words, which didn't bring me any closer to the language. The downside of my aversion is that I always have to rely on translation software when I want to know the mostly French names of the fragrances. If the software hasn't deceived me, then Colère d'épices refers to the Wreath of Spices.

But even here, it seems they forgot what all has been incorporated into the wreath of fine ingredients, as I smell something more than just the herbs and spices listed above.

The top note should have a bit of freshness, as it doesn't just smell of cardamom. I’m guessing bergamot.

In the heart, it must be devilish if no lavender has been used here, as I can distinctly perceive a lavender note, which could never come from ginger. The ginger adds a hint of spiciness and extends the fresh impression.

The base is creamy soft, subtly sweet, but also woody.

For me, this fragrance has a certain similarity to Eau de L'Occitan pour Homme, especially in the heart note.

Personally, I think the Wreath of Spices is more suited for men, but there are plenty of ladies who prefer men's fragrances, and they might also enjoy this little wreath.
