Smell of my student days

I first came into contact with this perfume after graduating from high school, now almost 15 years ago. At that time I went on a trip abroad and my friends have put together a package for my trip.
Among them was a perfume. The label had been removed and was replaced with a homemade one. I don't know why my friends chose just this perfume, but it must have been the cheap price.
I had always used trial samples before, but I didn't own a perfume yet.
When I tried it then, I liked the smell very much:
It is one of a warm freshness and starts very citrusy with bergamot and lime.
However, it then quickly develops in a sweet direction with nutmeg and cardamom and then the sandalwood also comes in very dominantly and is the first thing I notice after about 20min in combination with cardamom and some musk.
It is definitely a warm spicy smell, however it is also fresh and not a pure winter perfume.
I used to wear the scent all the time back in the day. Mostly by the spray in the air and run through method. But even today I would say that the fragrance - apart from hot summer days can be worn in all other seasons.
The fragrance became my signature scent and on vacation with fellow students as I got ready in the bathroom and the others then hopped in the shower one by one was said, it smells like me in there.

Meanwhile, I'm happy to still have this fragrance in my closet, but I don't wear it that often anymore. In my evaluation, however, I am of course still
very strongly biased, because I have worn the smell for years and directly memories of parties, university, travel in me rise - the "wild student years" just.
But even today, after I have tested other, expensive perfumes (from brands that specialize in perfumes and not boxing gloves), I find this perfume has something special.
Maybe it's just the fact that it doesn't have the x-rated DNA of current perfumes, but has a special composition.

However, this perfume should significantly influence my choice of perfume to this day, because I have a preference for slightly spicier, sweeter perfumes as a result and the first successors of Uppercut were Bulgari - Man in Black and YSL La Nuit de l'homme.

For whom and when is the perfume:
When I had already mentioned, actually almost always. On hot days, however, it can be too sweet.
And I think definitely the smell (except for sports) is more suitable for younger gentlemen.
