Eau de bureau or perfume-*****pharm forte

Yes, the sober name alone, Office for Men, breathes a very pragmatic and straightforward German objectivity. Similar to the names of a well-known German pharmaceutical company that advertises with twins. They have similar "creative" names. And this, for a fragrance that Jeremy modestly touted as "the best perfume in the world". Might as well have called it "eau de bureau". Well, but the evaluation shouldn't be based on the youtube or the name, but on the inner workings of the bottle. In the following my impressions:

When I sprayed the fragrance on myself for the first time, my face must have been completely derailed. At least I would have wanted to see myself. My first thought was, "What's so special about this?" The first thing I smelled was a very synthetic and almost indefinable citrus-ambroxane combination. It smells a little like a very desperate attempt to emulate Dior Sauvage. And about 3-4 hours doesn't change much there, except that Ambroxan is increasingly dominating more and more. With time a slightly darker wood and patchouli note is added. But even this smells very much like from the lab and hardly natural. Personally, I can't see any similarity to Aventus.
Up to this point I was really happy that I only ordered a 5ml filling. But I was determined to give the fragrance a second chance. The test subjects: my colleagues in the pharmacy. So I took my pocket sprayer with me to work. Two sprayers on the polo shirt and two on the skin. My colleagues are used to a lot of my scent and are tough on it. Especially when I have launched a new fragrance, I often get comments like "You haven't had that on yet, have you? ... Smells good :)" or "You smell funny today. Please don't put on so much." - I just put "Black Afghano" ----- Well, in that case, nothing happened. Apparently Office for Men is a fragrance that neither arouses nor unleashes storms of enthusiasm. In the course of the day, a woody ambroxane cloud came to my nose every now and then. "Not sooo bad at all," I thought to myself. Maybe you should spray it on your clothes rather than on your skin.

CONCLUSION:
This perfume wants to reach the masses. That's all it is. The scent had its chance with me, and I'm going to use up the five milliliters too. But that's all we'll ever be. I'm more for something more individual. I'm at home in the world of niche fragrances. Office wants to be a niche fragrance, but unfortunately it is nothing more than a synthesizer mainstream air. Niche is only the price. However, on my evaluation scale it has worked its way up from a 3 to a 5.5.
In the end, the scent, like its publisher, is the cause of a parting of the ways. Some love him. Some hate him. And still others move there in the middle.
I count to the latter.

For risks and side effects ask your Youtuber or the perfume users.
