Sexual chocolate......

"Ladies, put ya hands together.......
for MR! RANNNNNDY WATSON!
.
This scent doesn't need much introduction, it's Hugo boss & the DNA is there. The old man'ish kind of vibe. The spicy, slightly boozy, bold, very masculine DNA.....
This fragrance separates itself, in its chocolately disposition. The ginger kind of amplifies everything under it. Gives it spice with the masculinity to boot, the Mondia root gives it this vanilla undertone that makes it almost boozy. It's smooth & not as synthetic as most other gingers can give off at the top.
.
It dries down close to the skin after/around hour 2. It will get compliments but it isn't a compliment monster. It will project a little but it doesn't have that beast mode quality you might expect in an 'absolute'. I would wear it in any setting that requires close encounters. Could be worn anytime of the year but I'd save it more for fair weather but if your planning on wearing it inside, I guess that weather doesn't matter.
.
"Everyone, that was SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!..........SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!"

Comparison to the original

I bought the fragrance in the hope of getting a more intense and long-lasting The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette. Unfortunately, this only half worked. (Possibly also my fault)

The fragrance is by no means bad, but you have to warm up to the maninka fruit first.

In terms of the general fragrance profile, I find it a little too pungent compared to the original and occasionally get a headache when I wear it indoors and spray too much.
The edt. was a bit rounder and more pleasant in terms of the overall profile. The Scent Absolute is also definitely more intense and long-lasting, but therefore also different from the original The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette Edt. It is more potent and pungent, it can not only be smelled on the skin, but also expands around me and is more present.

I would recommend it to anyone for whom the edt. was not enough. For me, it is comparable to Sauvage Eau de Toilette and Sauvage Elixir. (In terms of the concept and the relationship between the fragrances, not the fragrance profile). For me, The Scent Absolute is the "elixir" of The Scent Edt.

One of the best in this line

Right off the bat ginger and maninka fruit are noticeable. As the fragrance dries down the ginger lightens up and you begin picking up a bit of dustiness from the maninka. If I can describe how the fruit comes across is its wispy, nothing overwhelming or obnoxious. The sweetness all throughout is tamed, unlike a lot of synthetic sickly sweet designers. There may be some vanilla here but nothing that can be perceived as cloying. Works great with a suit or a casual outfit. Leans night time use, if anything. Versatility still deserves a 10.

The vetiver at the base is predictable which may be boring for some because there isn't much else going on at this point. So I suppose one of the downsides of Absolute is the simplicity of it. It's quite linear. However, despite that, I don't get sick of wearing it and I've noticed people tend to enjoy the smell. It's nice from start to finish. It is very easy to like, and for the price, you really can't go wrong. 7-8 hours longevity with decent projection. Definitely worth sampling

The other day in the fragrance pyramid...

... up hui, down yuck!

The Scent Absolut - with this fragrance my entry into the perfume world began last fall.
Since I never wore a fragrance before, I asked the store manager for recommendations. We men are known to be easy to handle while shopping ;)

After the umpteenth test bottle I already thought about how to make it clear that I should actually go...
Then she pressed the Absolut in my face and screamed: "Stop!"

Wow, he's really nice. Kind of boozy without being too alcoholic. And tasty, orange, soft, sweet, a little chocolate. So I sniffed several times and took the one on my arm + test strip.

After the licking winter opening with orange, an intense cocoa/dark chocolate scent is added. Also somehow cinnamon/vanilla although the pyramid of scents doesn't give it away. Possibly triggered winter association? The chocolate was definitely dominant and got a slightly leathery/smoky note over time. The gourmand is replaced by more masculinity.

So far so good. Heads and heart notes were a bite. I guess at about 4-5h the base notes came through. But here it was anything but nice. I took a strong smell of leather. This became increasingly unpleasant. So I just impregnated the leather boots with paraffin. Eugh!
My wife also wanted me to go to the shower immediately. Unfortunately, that didn't help very much. So hour 5 to about 7 were a real test. Afterwards the scent collapsed into an indefinable mishmash.

But since I liked the first part so much, I organized another test in another drugstore and tested again. Similar result: Great, warm winter opening and then yuck! Since I had dosed this time myself, the impregnation smell was not that bad. The collapsing of the smell took place like in the first test, so from 7h on. The next day you can still smell it, especially on your clothes. Whereby it smells clearly better on the clothes, but also here it collapses.

Pity. Maybe the Absolut works better on another skin. I wish you!

On test strips I had additionally tested the other two "scents", but I have to say that the Absolute left the best impression. If the base would not be so catastrophic on my skin I would have bought it for sure, because I had a great winter feeling
At least the first time I went shopping, I realized how important it is to spray a sample and watch what happens for several hours.

The bottle in the shop made a neat impression, nothing rattles. Neutral design in brown and the sprayer delivered a good result. The performance corresponded to the usual in the trade. If you add the unpleasant and mixed-measure phase to this, you would even have to say good.

From the silage I would also say average. Especially the top notes were perceptible a bit over arm length. According to my wife you have 1 - 0,5 arm lengths. If you come from the cold and open your coat you should not stand in the haze area, that can be a real hammer ;)
