Noble Dirty Bastard

Yes, a bit I have to provoke with the titling already, but to that later.
In search of new fragrance experiences, I like to read through the comments. "Cologne Intense "came so on my watch list.
A few of the typical cologne summer fragrances have in my collection. My curiosity was piqued, however, when I read in Yatagan's comment. The combination of citrus and oriental ingredients; well that's unusual and should give the fragrance character of this colognes a slightly darker, more masculine note than colognes usually have. As far as my idea of this perfume.
Finally, I came across this delightfully classic bottle through a perfume swap. From a purely visual point of view, this looks quite opulent and classy. Down with the heavy cap and first smell the spray head. Oh yes, it smells great. My idea of this fragrance seemed to be confirmed at that moment. So full "can" with it on the back of the hand. What the hell is that? Underneath the really very subtle tart scent, I perceived a smell where the word "animalic" sounds rather harmless. You could also call it body fluid, slightly dried under the sun.
So a perfume with which you keep everyone at a distance? Disappointment spread and the thought that I should sell this cologne again. Nevertheless, I had my doubts. Am I such a perfume idiot that only I notice this under-smell so much? That can not be the intention of the manufacturer.
There were 2 aspects that probably went wrong with my initial test. The back of my hand was wet from the perfume, so very concentrated and my nose was right on it. After half an hour and with a distance of at least 10 cm everything was ok. Even now, when the fragrance hits the body finely distributed, I still subliminally perceive the "smell of dirt". But after a few minutes, a really noble "cologne scent" develops, which in its application is not necessarily a fragrance for a hot summer day, but rather for a summer evening. In addition, it is suitable for all occasions with discreet application. Thus, the designation "dark cologne" additionally applies. I have in the meantime upgraded my rating for the fragrance. Sometimes it just needs a little time and experience.
