That certain silky masculine edge

The first thing you can perceive is an intense and very strong sweetish, soft appearing fruity note, which seems amazingly authentic to me personally, and which was simply frozen and owed to the iced mandarin.

The tangerine is accompanied by another very delicate fruity-sweet note, which gives the tangerine a fine acidity and gives the top note a certain wake-up effect and comes from the grapefruit.

These two notes are surrounded by typical Cascalones, but they don't seem as lapidary as one might imagine. Instead, a healthy measure of breezy sea breeze is presented here, which I personally don't get tired of, and which comes from the aquatic notes, which I unfortunately can't name exactly, but I do suspect the use of coriander seeds in combination with nana-mint and/or eucalyptus, as the top note exudes a fine masculine, subtly soapy, spicy soft touch, but of course I could be completely wrong and would not classify the notes I suspect as aquatic.

A little bit later, a very fine herbaceous citric hint can be perceived, which gives the fragrance very pleasant bright characteristics and can only be the bergamot.

At the same time, the bergamot is enveloped in a typically masculine, slightly woody and woody nuance, which I would not describe as old-fashioned, but as "ripe", and which is due to the cypress - and all this without losing its aquatic background!

Quite delicately in the background and with me only directly on the skin detectable is a very fine, almost fragile berry-woody nuance, which in my opinion ensures that the fragrance gets a pleasant silky edge and is due to the juniper berry.

Directly on the skin, so if you put your nose on the sprayed area, something softly balsamic, almost sweet, spreads and I really find it extremely pleasant and I did not come across white amber.

In the last 3 hours, a plastic breath flashes up from time to time, but never continuously, which bothers me a little bit, but this one can be overlooked, since it is not permanently perceptible, but I personally find it unpleasant, since I always seem to smell my pulse joint in the intervals when the plastic breath is active
The base is dominated by a fine, resinous, woodsy note, which has a very light, creamy touch and is due to the Virgina cedar in combination with the sandalwood.

These two notes are accompanied by a very fine earthy, almost woody nuance, where I suspected rather elemi resin than vetiver.

The entire base is closed by a lovely Mediterranean-looking hint where I personally guess lavender, but I'm not sure, because it seems extremely weak and unfortunately I'm not able to name any other maritime notes.

Unfortunately I could not perceive pineapple, but I can well imagine that this component was used to complete the picture.

Altogether the fragrance lasts 7 hours on my skin.

The Sillage is designed from the beginning to be 3.5 hours on a very good perceptible three quarters arm length, before it minimizes itself in quiet steps until the fragrance is finished.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our perfume "Honk1510" for the bottling.

There is no question that this fragrance is also a Synhie :-)

Honk1510 I also feel the plastic breath as synthetically produced!

But isn't a breath of plastic a synthetic? :-D
I will then donate to "A heart for cattle" ;-)

Honk1510 In this fragrance I noticed the least of the synthetics used, but unfortunately there was this plastic touch on my skin, which of course doesn't have to occur with everyone. If you voluntarily buy the fragrances, you are very welcome to do so, but I would rather see this money as a donation at "Ein Herz für Kinder" etc.

I found this synthetic in No. 4 not so bad, considering the price/performance ratio of all four fragrances should probably not be a bestseller, on the contrary
