With cream
The name "Schwarzlose" offers material for bad jokes. At the time, one of my fellow combatants in the Bundeswehr was bitterly forced to experience this even from his superiors. Well, talent for leadership did not seem to play a central role (at least at conscription times) in filling the middle ranks of the biggest real satire in our country.
I'm only telling this because I don't think of much about the fragrance itself and I don't want to overdo the name/fragrance mismatch, that's enough. All I can do is spread my interference with "Leather 6". That doesn't come as a surprise. Where the announcement "milk" is written, it is usually not far away, the...
But from the front: Mild, soft leather with some sweetness and a tiny, diffuse touch that touches the border to the fruity. A little something ethereal-fresh reinforces the impression of light leather. After a few minutes sweet smoke forms, which I think I would like if it wasn't for this milk, which I think refers to guaiac. And indeed. Between all the sweet-smoky plus hinted at sour-fruity always this burnt milk comes out, which I know quite similarly from "Palo Santo" (from Carner) - a synonym for Guajak.
This may undoubtedly score well with others as a beautiful, sweet, possibly even sensual sweetie, but I feel an overdose of caramel B-cream Pamps at noon at the latest, in which not even a leather spoon is stirred. In addition a sugary amber base, which (unnecessarily) adds additional sweetness.
The brave attempts at compensation I do, however, hold in high esteem: There is, for example, the dusty, bitter resin note that quietly rumbles around in the background, the greened impact in the smoke - obviously the incense presents its green-sour side to us - or in the process a dusty, light wood. They all at least try to tame caramel or burnt milk. Nevertheless, in the afternoon the thought suggests itself to me that I am dealing with sweetened H-cream on dry wood.
Leather? Of course, I know that leather scents are very sweet and that they can often (even today) come from a construction kit of various ingredients - but in the course of time I don't even get to the bottom of a notable illusion of leather, the cream is too powerful. The now conceivable remark that the leather is only mentioned in the top note, I would now find hair-splitting. After all, that's what it's called
Conclusion: For others. For my - highly subjective - evaluation I ask for your understanding.
I thank MisterE for the rehearsal.
