Quasar Jesus del Pozo 1994 Eau de Toilette

Here is a commentary on a forgotten fragrance from the 90s. A fragrance that even back then tended to take second place - in the shadow of those who invented the fresh men's aquatic a good thirty years ago. Some of them are still around today, and the olfactory genre of aquatic fragrances has become a stable force in the world of perfume. Jesus de Pozos Quasar, on the other hand - with its iconic, brute, masculine cogwheel bottle (that's what people thought and did in the 90s) - has disappeared into the mists of time.

I remember well that I always found it comparatively soft, almost dimmed - and not at all brute as a fragrance despite the cogwheel thing. Instead, I experienced a - value-free - gentle breeze in light blue gray - juicy sweetness and calone and a kind of ISO-E super-foreshadowing (which didn't even exist in the perfumery world back then) - peaceful and friendly and free. And that was a lot for a men's fragrance in the 90s and still has and still finds its fans among die-hard nostalgics.

Conclusion: a fragrance from the past that thematizes the sea and the sky without really being clearly blue in olfactory terms, if you can call it that. It has a lightness and weightlessness right on the edge of shower gel freshness (actually slightly above that, but in the 90s you were still allowed to do that) and in my nose and memory it has always been a touch more sky than the blue sea. And these are wonderful memories that it awakens in us Generation Xers - who were young, hungry and free in the 90s.
