Office for Men Fragrance One 2019

Yes, just the sober name Office for Men breathes a very pragmatic and straightforward German practicality. Similar to the names of a well-known German pharmaceutical company that advertises with twins. They have similarly "creative" names. And this, for a fragrance that Jeremy modestly promotes as "the best perfume in the world." One could have just as well called it "Eau de Büro." Well, but the review should not be directed at the YouTuber or the name, but at the contents of the bottle. Here are my impressions:

When I first sprayed the fragrance, my face must have looked quite shocked. At least I would have liked to see myself. My first thought was something like: "And this is supposed to be something special?" The first thing I smell is a very synthetic and almost indefinable citrus-Ambroxan combination. It smells a bit like a very desperate attempt to imitate Dior Sauvage. And unfortunately, not much changes in about 3-4 hours, except that Ambroxan increasingly dominates. Over time, a slightly darker wood and patchouli note comes in. But that also smells very lab-made and hardly natural. I personally cannot detect any similarity to Aventus.
Up to this point, I was really glad that I only ordered a 5ml sample. But I was determined to give the fragrance a second chance. The test subjects: my colleagues at the pharmacy. So I took my travel atomizer to work. 2 sprays on my polo shirt and 2 on my skin. My colleagues are quite used to my fragrances and can handle a lot. Especially when I have a new scent, I often get comments like "You haven't worn that one yet, have you? ... Smells good :)" or "You smell a bit strange today. Please don't apply so much." - to which I just respond "Black Afghano."
----- Well, in this case, there was nothing at all. Apparently, Office for Men is a fragrance that neither offends nor unleashes waves of enthusiasm. Throughout the day, a woody-Ambroxan cloud would occasionally waft to my nose. "Not so bad" I thought to myself. Maybe it should be sprayed more on clothing than on skin.

CONCLUSION:
This perfume aims to reach the masses. That's all there is to it. The fragrance had its chance with me, and I will use up the 5 milliliters. But more will not come from us. I prefer something more individual, although I sometimes wear designer fragrances for certain occasions. But in the world of niche fragrances, I am now at home. Office wants to be a niche scent, but unfortunately, it is nothing more than a synthesizer mainstream breeze. The only niche is the price. However, it has at least worked its way up from a 3 to a 5.5 on my rating scale.
In the end, opinions about the fragrance, as with its publisher, are divided. Some love it. Others hate it. And some are somewhere in the middle.
I count myself among the latter.
