Napoleon vs. French Boxer
A good friend of mine has had it in his collection for a very long time. Apparently the scent is of the French boxer Georges Carpentier but for me it's more the boxer against Napoleon if you know what I mean ;)
Now for the fragrance and the bottle. The bottle is beautifully simple with its wooden cap and engraved logo. Which for me reminds me of the family crest of an old aristocrat or knight's family:D The spray head also releases the perfume in a high-quality way. So not as cheap as other perfumes I know. Also nice to dose thought.
The fragrance starts from the opening already very similar to Aventus. I take fresh mountain moth notes paired with leather peppercords. For me personally, there must be some kind of ambroxan in it, because this fresh one is already suspicious^^. But compared to Aventus there is a less leathery and peppery in the opening! In my opinion this is simply the interpretation from Frapin to Aventus. Instead of Napoleon, they simply used a boxer:D Later in the fragrance process, the scent remains more peppery and leathery and goes over to mossy. The sweet notes gradually disappear, but it still retains a kind of freshness! Performance is already approaching 6-8 hours. Sillage is rather naja. After 4 hours it becomes more bodylike and the sillage decreases.
In the end I have to say that the boxer does things even better than Napoleon in my opinion. He doesn't have such strong fluctuations in scent and performance and is even cheaper. Because of the leather and horsey notes he is more suitable for men. For me a clear recommendation to buy for all who celebrate Aventus and like fragrances in this direction.
