"Excuse me, don't we know each other from somewhere?"

Once upon a time, there was a shopping-crazed man who went to the turquoise giant to buy himself a truly terrible man. When the shopping-crazed man arrived at the giant, he saw the new "VINTAGE BLACK" by Kenneth Cole.

The shopping-crazed man already thought "BLACK" by Kenneth Cole was great, had also blindly bought "REACTION," so he thought to himself "pack it up, take it with me, can't go wrong"...

At the checkout of the turquoise giant, an evil dragon bared its teeth and hissed "With this fragrance, you also get a watch." The man thought great "I still have to buy rolls afterwards, let's see if I get underwear as a gift with the rolls at the bakery."

But the evil dragon only looked so evil because it was hiding behind 2cm thick war paint. The dragon crawled into its cave and came back 2 minutes later with a noble Kenneth Cole men's wristwatch and packed it with the fragrance into a bag.

So dear children, that was the fairy tale of how the shopping-crazed man got 30ml of VINTAGE BLACK and a men's watch for 24.95 euros. And right NOW, the fairy tale turns into a love story:

"Excuse me, don't we know each other from somewhere?" shot through my mind when I sprayed the fragrance for the first time at home. KENZO pour Homme! THAT's it...

The top note immediately reminds me of KENZO pour Homme with its freshness. WONDERFUL. Sounds silly, but it's true: Among all the uniformity in the fragrance water paradise, finally a scent with recognition value, even if it's that of KENZO pour Homme.

The top note had (as the word suggests) immediately turned my head, but it gets even stronger: My heart was also conquered, through tequila and lavender (wonderful heart note). The fragrance base finally allows me to do what I could never do with KENZO pour Homme, namely wear the scent anytime and anywhere. What overwhelmed everyone around with KENZO is allowed by VINTAGE BLACK.

VINTAGE BLACK is for ME, purely subjectively, the everyday variant of KENZO pour Homme. If I had to describe the fragrance with a single situation, it would be like this: Morning, 8 AM at the beach. By the Atlantic. Take a deep breath and recharge for the day. The sea air pushes you, cleans all the airways, and for no apparent reason, you suddenly feel great and content.

I'll stop here NOW, otherwise, the fairy tale and the love story will turn into a telenovela!

Kenzo pour Homme? I missed that one. I'll take another look. Or did someone secretly refill it with Ferrari Extreme?

Well written, Brother Grimm! :-) By the way, if you kiss the dragons at Dougi, they'll turn into Douglettes - don't kiss them, go for the painted dragons instead. ;-)

I'm surprised that Apicius gives Kenzo pour Homme 90% and Vintage Black only a weak 20%... It's amazing how perceptions of fragrances can differ so much, really! ;-)
