“I have a meeting with Lukas at eight.” Such sentences are generally not unusual for parents - however, I was surprised that my son wanted to meet with a classmate at this hour at barely twelve years old, weekend or not. Did my wife really allow him this? Not even the undeniably cutest and most charming (when needed, at least) of all sons could have convinced his mom.
Well, the solution to the riddle was, of course, that the meeting was to take place in the manner of the advancing 21st century, namely on the computer, connected via Skype or a similar service, and designed as a joint gaming session. Great. The days when kids his age would roam around somewhere are simply over.
Or is it meant to be at eight in the morning? ‘Meeting point 8 o’clock’ seems closer to the office than to an evening out, as it is a transparent vetiver scent, for which the other mentioned ingredients are merely embellishments.
Vetiver nuttiness opens up, long before any thought of fruit even arises. Freshness is provided by a presumably chemistry-supported, watery base. The gradually emerging fruit is also more watery than fruity, although I perceive it a bit more distinctly on the second test day. That it is now mango - well, okay. I would have guessed canned peach.
The vetiver gradually develops a smoky note over the course of the morning. I admit to a floral hint directly on the skin. Rather, I sense a touch of artificial wood. I would have to completely imagine the sage.
And even the afternoon progression does not scratch the dominance of the sweet grass - nevertheless, it adds (laboratorily) a little more: I smell the -ylacetate sourness, even quite intensely, but tastefully integrated into a fitting context and therefore less aggressive than, for example, in Geza Schön’s corresponding solo ‘Molecule 03.’ I like it much better here.
Conclusion: ‘Meeting point 8 o’clock’ convinces as a relatively slim vetiver scent. Those who like such things should definitely also test ‘II-III (homage to) Hemingway’ from Masque. There, the theme of vetiver might be explored with a bit more heart.
Yeah, this youth... "Daaaad!" could have been the response. And the father to the son: "I'm just going to explore some fragrances." and off he went ;))
Sometimes it might not be so good to dissect everything and question it all.
Isn't it about the bottom line?
I know, that's a question for an accountant or something.
For me, the longevity is like a vetiver in Timbuktu: exotic fruit, scratchy-smoky, and then a milder vetiver. It should never be a classic vetiver. I really like it.
So far, none of the brand's fragrances have convinced me. I thought I had tested this one too, but either my ghostly note-eater struck again, or I'm dealing with a false memory. However, the pyramid sounds quite nice. I've thought that about a few others as well, if I remember correctly...
Somehow, I can't make sense of everything you've written, and I can't really imagine this scent. It doesn't spark the slightest desire to want to test it.
I wasn't quite sure what to bring to the meeting at 8 after the test-an herb pot, fruit, or flowers. So I decided not to go. It's actually a nice scent, but a bit indecisive.
A very nicely written comment, but it doesn't really make me want to try the scent. Is the score of 8 perhaps a bit generous? Or is it just playful since you wouldn't want to rate a scent named 8 with a 7? Have a great weekend!
