Mango takes the edges off the sweet grass.
I came across this fragrance because I was looking for a vetiver perfume that was compatible with my tastes. Normally, I am rather less the fan of this so popular sweet grass as an ingredient. Still, I didn't want to completely turn my back on this fragrance component because I don't want my collection to be too unbalanced.
So I set out and "vetiver-scents-for-vetiver-haters"-tested. In my shortlist have then "Etat Libre d'Orange - Fat Electrician", "Byredo Parfums - Bal d'Afrique" and "J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin - Meeting Point 8 o'clock" made it.
Treffpunkt 8 Uhr starts with a very dominant ginger note. When sniffing the applied it tickles a little in my nose. The mango accord I perceive as something sweet, indefinable. Have also heard from some that they associate this with peach (can't sign that now). The prelude is joined relatively quickly by a special scent. Sage (which I usually do not like so much and associate as something old-fashioned) is perceptible and is again interestingly played around. Probably from the autumn crocus. I must confess that I don't really know how this plant smells. In any case, it gives it a kind of "it" factor --> somehow special. The vetiver also fights its way more and more to the fore on my skin from the middle on. This is subtly caressed by the initial sweetness of the mango. The fruit takes a bit of the roughness away from the sweetgrass and rounds out the angular edges a bit. This olfactory experience then lasts until the end of the fragrance. Very pleasant and pleasing and at the same time a little special.
The fragrance pleases me on the whole very well and I wear it very gladly especially in the warmer months. Actually, it is not my style but I try as I said more often times to get out of my comfort zone and expand my "fragrance horizon".
The bottle of the fragrance I find very nice. Reduced with a beautiful lid. Strange I find only that the brand uses two different spray heads with different stop mechanisms (But that only on the sidelines. Both mechanisms work well!)

Former Signature scent
If we use a perfume often, the bottle will of course become emptier and emptier. The way I see it, the bottle is no longer filled with perfume, but with memories.
I wore Gaultier2 almost every day when I was a teenager. My friends used to say that...
