A Random Walkabout
Quasar, frankly, confuses me. I had read that it provided a woodsy experience, and the bottle screams class and aggression, but the scent experience is a rather random walkabout. Let me explain.

The first few notes are a light, shampoo-y kind of scent. Our hero has just leapt out of the shower, singing. He wraps a towel around his waist, tucks a flower behind his ear, and then decides to go jogging. It's a long jog, but after two hours, he gets hit with some cologne. He smells himself and declares himself to be the bee's knees. His flower has not wilted, and the sweat only adds to his collection of scents surrounding him.

After a while, he gets tired of jogging and stops by a mountain stream on the edge of the woods. There, he washes himself and arises from the waters smelling bracingly fresh! The flower is still tucked behind his ear, and his towel is as crisp and scent-neutral as ever. He whistles and strides into the woods as darkness falls.

There, he befriends a stray bear and quaffs some maple syrup that a friendly lumberjack left behind for stray joggers like himself. As the temperature falls, the scent of the woods and the scent of his shower combine to be bracing in a different way, which provides some relief to the aroma of maple syrup. Eventually he finds a place to sleep beneath the stars and awakes to a new day, completely scent free.

If Quasar intended to tell a story, I can't make heads or tails of it; it ended up in an interesting place, but I'm not that patient to wait eight hours to get there.

Extremely unique, a 1990’s powerhouse.
First spray is extremely intense, almost cloying. I smell the banana and heavier florals right then. But 10-15 minutes out, it dries down into the most amazing floral aquatic, with a deep earthiness to it. Like a fresh rain earthy smell in a banana plantation. Very unique and sad that it is discontinued. Soon before it was, I found out and scored a huge vintage lot of testers. Yay!

Banana milkshake and men's cologne
I have to confess that at first I was mostly attracted by the marketing elements of Quasar. The futuristic bottle looks like a device in some science fiction and the name Quasar suggests something radiant and full of energy. Well, what I smell might not match its appearance.

The opening smells like some typical men's cologne. But it soon evolves into a smooth banana milkshake. Yummy! At the same time, I can smell some greenness, as if the milkshake is made with some real fresh banana. After 2 hours, the banana notes mellows to the background. What settles on the skin is a soft lavander smell. It stays very close to skin and lingers about 6h.

I wish the banana milkshake scent could stay a little longer. But it's just my personal taste. I still like it very much as it is. It's very refreshing in summer. If you're looking for a non-aquatic fresh fragrance for summer, I'd recommend Quasar.

The Cooler Alternative
When Quasar was released in the mid-90s, it was suspected that someone wanted to ride the success wave of Cool Water.

Quasar came across as absolutely aquatic and in a turquoise blue with a lot of vacation vibes.

Describing this scent is really quite difficult. But let me say this upfront - it is indeed one of the best aquatic fragrances I know. There is a hint of minimalistic fruitiness, as well as a lot of synthetic notes. However, the latter is so well balanced that it is not perceived as an alien factor. Everything fits - everything feels high quality. And for me, Quasar is the better, cooler, and more sophisticated alternative to Cool Water, which unfortunately can be sniffed on just about every second person in the summer.

I have occasionally seen Quasar here and there in some perfumeries. Sometimes even at bargain prices. Bargain hunters will absolutely get their money's worth.

The only thing that bothered me a bit back then was the relatively poor quality of the bottle. But that can easily be overlooked with this aquatic delight.

Pozo-Perfecto
Well, I was surprised that I could get so excited about the scent. :)

Let's go back...

...while browsing here on the site again, this futuristic bottle caught my eye. It really looks out there, in my opinion, it just makes a statement. The comments also completely put me off, as I despise Cool Water by Davidoff. I just don't like it because I'm not really into aquatic scents.
Especially with this type of perfume, I find it very difficult to sniff out what notes have actually been used.

Anyway, let's start...

"Quasar" starts for me with a light fruitiness. I don't know what banana leaf smells like. A few moments later, I perceive lavender and rosemary. The scent is wonderfully fitting for summer, but somehow also gives off a certain warmth. It's not too fresh but also not too heavy.
It seems that perfect work has been done here. It just smells perfect. You can't hate or despise this scent.

The perfectionism continues... the heart blends so perfectly with the oak moss, which then comes together with a certain woodiness after hours.

This is truly great perfume art, in my opinion, even if the scent does come across as somewhat "simple." The longevity is also top-notch. When I sprayed it for the first time yesterday, it lasted without any problems for 8 hours, during which I could perceive it very well.

"Quasar" is highly recommended for the warm season, but I think you can also confidently use it in winter, well...

...all that's left for me is to conclude with a statement:

POZO-PERFECTO!!

Radiant day -
the bus stops at the beach promenade.
Cheeky little fruits get off,
snatch up the sun loungers.
On the beach: driftwood.

Unjustly underrated. Banana leaf paired with a lovely aquatic note. Stands out from the rest. Might be bought after all.

Fresh male aquate (type with fins, always standing in a puddle?) and no fish. More summery and freshly showered.

The cooler alternative to many fresh and possibly aquatic scents - just a bit more exotic!

Carefully dosed Calone scent. A gentler Cool Water. With a slightly watery-fruity freshness.

Fresh, lightly fruity-green, subtly Mediterranean spicy, aquatic! Banana leaf is original! Optimism, summer, young man!

Guys, put this stuff on! It's worth it with or without the right fruit cocktail. The bottle shape is misleading - nothing technical!

Very fruity start with banana, then sharp and headache-inducing; reminds me of Loud and falls under the Geneva Convention. Grade: 6.

My favorite maritime scent (not an Aquate!) - wonderfully fresh-fruity-spicy, yet complex and not overly sweet. Great scent aura! R.I.P.
