Conquistador Franck Muller 2017

Oh? Conquistador is a man's scent, they say. Let me believe it...
Since yesterday, however, it has become a woman's scent, namely mine.

I got to know Conquistador through a bottling, and I have already written a statement about this. It didn't take long until the decision was made...a bottle is needed! Absolutely!!

Already after the first spraying, I am blown away. Conquistador immediately takes me into an almost mystical world. Almost everything around me seems to become a little bit calmer and quieter.
The bottle is beautiful, very well made, solid gold in the hand. The fragrance is extremely complex, soft, almost gentle, yet very powerful. What may read as a contradiction here, it is no longer when you smell it.

Conquistador starts spicy and quite clearly with juniper berries. These are slightly sweetish in taste, as if they had been gently moistened with soft cognac. I smell smoky tobacco notes, something resinous, balsamic. It blends incense with a beautiful iris and buttery suede. Everything is harmoniously interwoven, no note is dominant - it smells very noble.

Conquistador lasts long on the skin. My husband found him at first a little curious and wandering around the room, but he must have liked the scent very much, because normally he is clearly disturbed by supposedly intrusive scents. It depends on the dosage, of course, but if you don't get particularly diesel, Conquistador won't get offended.

For the coming cooler season Conquistador is one of my favourites and he has potential for the new signature scent.
