On the trail of bad perfume
First of all, this is my first day with Armani Code Absolu pour Homme and this article is not primarily about describing this perfume.
I am more interested in discussing and classifying the "generic cheap sugar mainstream accord". Because I perceive this to be quite central here.
You could say it has a lot of overlap with Y Le parfum, some Stronger with yous, Ralph's Club Elixir and probably more than a dozen other fragrances.
All of them smell natural and substantial in this accord like a Poco interior, with a big fullhd China TV on which people with plastic bodies and serious "live love laugh" tattoos confidently present themselves to the public in sex-suggestive reality shows like Loveisland on RTL2.
My sense of smell reflexively alienates itself and can only comprehend the good reviews, the overlooking of the pastiche composition as coming from a cynical romantic streak.
To the core of my understanding: So it has to be a bit freshly aromatic, so lavender, ne linalool, then a combination of tonka, uh no coumarin, that's enough, after all almost the same, and ethyl maltol, which is already in 90% of the other bestsellers anyway, so please don't skimp on that. Just add a little sour apple and vanillin and you're done. 0815 pseudo refreshed grape sugar garbage.
Here is my original statement again:
Theoretically positioned identity may have a lot of potential. However, the aggressive 0815 dextrose synthetic prevents my appreciation.

Your review in all honor... but then it doesn't quite match your rating 🤔 A 7/10 is quite passable..

You can see from this that no one feels they can rate it properly when 7/10 is seen as average or even bad.

Yess, that is the tragic of to days perfumery . Fake coumarin/ cheap ethyl maltol crap - every single day. For 150$ !!!
