The gods covered in a veil of flowers on Mykonos
1899 is one of the fragrances that have reached me quite quickly and picked up. After I had 1740 already as a small bottle with me and this has appealed to me in a very deep way, I wanted to check out the pages of the other fragrances. The selection at Histoires de Parfums is not too large, however, so balanced in the comments that there could be something for everyone here. Since 1899 Ernest Hemingway emerged as my next fragrance, I now also did not want to wait any longer.
But how did I just come to these and what has me angefixt the appropriate research to catch up?
Pretty simply said, because this fragrance should sniff like Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb or at least a modified and more luxurious form of it. Spicebomb has remained permanently in my collection since the day of release and to this day I have found no reason to change anything here. Even the Flanker never made it. Even the Extreme variant has never convinced me so much that I leave the original in the corner. However, I find the scent very interesting and therefore like to test out new perfumes of this category. In addition, I should not even come to the thought Spicebomb times to sort out, because my wife loves this fragrance on me and threatens with divorce, should I ever come to mind. ?
Talked often of a fresher variant and a somewhat floral basic character. Furthermore, with some spice and a Spicebomb DNA. I like to be surprised and since an online retailer just had good discounts I struck in the madness equal times at a 60ml bottle to.
The test environment was different from the last Xerjoff tests, which I had before extensively under the nose. Rather relaxed, less expectations and generally a little less urge to discover something new. However, I quickly realized that something special has landed under my nose here.
Not because the general spiciness, pepper or sharpness blew my socks off. It was the insouciance, which the fragrance has put on the day and has put me in the moment in fascination.
YES, it was this pleasant, slightly citrusy freshness at the beginning, the slightly shimmering florality in the background and a finely tuned spiciness. Everything spread slowly and delicately, almost a little fragile and enveloping like a delicate veil. Far from the spice and candy bombs of the current days. Much more delicate and shy, but still strong enough to give the wearer that special something. Gradually, the citrusy notes pull back a bit and stay in the background to give the delicate floral bouquet a bit more of a stage. None of the three components weighs too heavy, everything seems from a cast and harmonizes surprisingly well, because if I think of a mixture of spice and flowers, then my nose would rather make the bend.
But so Histoires de Parfums offers a wonderful fragrance full of eventful tenderness, in which one imagines two half-naked gods lying in the warm dawn enveloped by flowers.
Also, the Spicebomb DNA described in some comments is present, the my wife can not tell the difference at first sniff.
One must say to this framework but also that the sillage can not hold a candle to the original of my collection. 1899 can not have a monster sillage due to the selection of fragrance notes and components or in view of the fragrance character. For the first two hours, you definitely perceive the scent very well, but not much further, as the power gradually weakens. This is not bad for me personally, because I as a wearer have the fragrance yet longer in the nose. This is but just not so noticeable by the flowers and the freshness.
From the durability, however, he must not hide. Early sprayed on you perceive him still in the evening on the neck and others can enjoy the great 1899 in warm embraces.
