For this fragrance, I don't just want to make a statement; I want to elaborate and describe more. I've owned this scent for about 2 years now and have tested it multiple times during this period. On my arm, on test strips, on clothing, in the air, on a cuddly hedgehog named Piksi, and on my girlfriend. I wear it almost never. Unfortunately, nothing ever changes, and my perception remains the same. This fragrance is denied to me by my body.
I've consciously rated the scent as "only" 5 because it varies so much depending on what or who I smell it on. Either 10/10 or 1/10.
In the air:
A 10/10, I love it. How can something smell so amazing? I want to smell like this!
Coconut, pineapple, fruity, sweet, fresh, summer, vacation, tropical, a dream. A bit like white RedBull? I love it.
On fabric/a cuddly toy or on my girlfriend:
Similar to in the air. Still very delicious, fruity, sweet, fresh, tropical. One of the best coconuts, sparkling with pineapple, wonderful. My girlfriend perceives the scent on me just as I smell it on her. Would I smell like this in public to strangers? Why don't I smell it like that on myself? Because I can’t get too close when smelling, otherwise it turns into:
On my arm or on test strips:
What is happening here with this fragrance? What am I smelling here, where has the scent gone? Burnt rubber? Burnt hair? Old man? Sweat? Pure synthetic? Chemicals? Musty, stinky, old. Tested multiple times, in various places, in different situations. Freshly showered, in the evening, in the morning, in between. Direct skin seems to absorb all the good and gives my nose the middle finger back. At least in the drydown, I can recognize somewhere amidst all that something like a slight sweetness/vanilla and woods. Hm... unfortunately no longer a 10/10, more like a 1/10. I hate it...
The bottle is very beautiful, high-quality, and elegant, the packaging is very nice, extraordinary, and high-quality, and the spray head is also great. I just wish JPG would include a cap. It seems difficult to satisfactorily close such a body with a matching cap.
For my girlfriend, this is probably the scent that smells best and most delicious to her. She loves it, she wants me to wear it, she could smell it all the time. I rarely wear it, and when I do, it's only because I know she loves it. Unfortunately, I can't wear this scent because I would only get back stinky, musty smells if I occasionally sniff my arm during the day to check the scent. And that is, after all, the most important factor when it comes to deciding which fragrance I spray on today. I need to be able to enjoy it in everyday life; it has to smell good to me, I have to like it, and want to perceive it. For me, it remains a tragedy. I could imagine it as a room spray, but that would be a bit expensive for that.
