Scent

Very fougère already!

Arrived today, torn out of the package, sprayed on... and at first I was very disappointed. "What a cucumber!" was my first thought, among other things because the smell in my head reminded me strongly of the classic cucumber (don't ask me where it comes from, everyone has his own associations - and "cucumber" is not something I enjoy jumping for joy).
Luckily it didn't stop at those cucumbery exhalations, the smell has really taken off over the last three hours.
Sillage is felt to be strongest after an hour, and the scent wanders from the cucumber (the first ~3 minutes prominent) to herbaceous, until at some point the rose geranium shows through (which I really love) to be replaced by a rather minty scent in the meantime (this might be the violet leaf in combination with the other scents, since mint does not occur here according to the scent pyramid). I can't make out the tonka bean, but I thought I could guess something like that earlier... now eat away.
So far a very pleasant scent that does not disturb, but does not knock me out either, as it is quite simple; you can do it for the price, but you don't have to.
The bottle is typically JPG masculine and I also like the tin can very much!
All in all a solid acquisition, which reminds me a little bit of Eros Flame (probably the rose geranium does that).
PS: By the way, I am positively surprised how much my girlfriend likes the fragrance - from now on a little mèhr fougère

Ich war heute neugierig und habe ihn auf den Tester gesprüht und hatte auch augenblicklich die Assoziation Gurke. Jetzt wo ich mir die Duftnoten hier angesehen habe, frage ich mich auch woher die kam...

Habe ihn dort heute getestet.. Ja, riech ganz nett, aber irgendwie nach etwas, was man schon zig mal gerochen und vor allem in seiner Sammlung hat. Habe mir ehrlich gesagt etwas mehr vorgestellt, zumindest nach Beurteilung des Openings im Laden. Den Drydown kann ich nicht beurteilen...

Ich hab den heute schon beim Müller gesehen, allerdings für stolze 91(!)€.

Ich bin auf den auch gespannt. Ich mag Fougeres oder Barbershop Düfte ganz gerne, denen fehlt es aber meist an einem modernen Twist.
Weiß jemand, ob der es in die Retail-Läden wie Douglas und Co schaffen wird?

Alleine wegen der OVP ist der seine 66 Euro Wert :P
