What the f..... is that?

Now I've been an Austrian for sooo long :-), but I've never felt the need to test Knische zehn. I only knew the fragrance by name, Marlene Dietrich's husband is supposed to have had his suits made by them. Anyway, that's what it says in the book "My Mother Marlene" by Maria Riva, her daughter. Very interesting reading, but that's just by the way.

But this is all about Knize perfume. I had ordered a bottling and had been curiously waiting for it. Okay, here we go:

the prelude is already very very shrill, since haut's one almost around, what came to me, I had not expected. Very very lemony, not yellow but already neon yellow, but then becomes bearable after a while and green, something nelkiges tickles my nose, it is then but directly leathery and for that it is known.
But then come the mossy and the elegant woody notes to it and THAT works simply beguiling and attractive, so I'll probably still get a larger bottle.

My me allotted has indeed VERY wrinkled his nose, but he must now go through. I also allow him his noirige, extreme, TomFordiges, sweet smell - perfume, gell. :-)

Via the Ringstrasse

There are, of course, two great dangers to writing about fragrances in such a way that the reader's imagination becomes something like a clear impression of the fragrance, and both have their origin in the extraordinary difficulty of mastering the two great approaches to fragrances if one does not want to be overwhelmed by their siren chants in a literary way.
One access is now the one leading over the memory. It is no secret that in childhood and adolescence the world is generally perceived more holistically than in the following decades, when the seemingly unmotivated sighs (where do they come from and what is their exact reason?) that were unheard at a young age become more frequent. The sense of smell as on the one hand the most disordered, most difficult to grasp analytically and thus at the same time the least filtered of all senses through reason and comparison, plays a powerful role here, who wanted to deny it. So it's no wonder that not a few reviews - at least half of my own I count explicitly and without shame! - in the Summoning always the same more beautiful, the same more touching, but also more or less the same Super 8 movies: "Understand, I can't do otherwise. My father, his shaving mirror, my mother humming at the sink, the trips to the Taunus." Wonderful, but, if not formally mastered, basically self-talk (sometimes in front of graves).

It's a good thing I'm connecting Knize Ten to Nüscht. All blanco. But now I don't have in any way the scent historical wealth of experience and the essences library of our experts, such as the forum trickster Catch22 (I'm airing the hat!), which I hold in high esteem. I don't have much to objectify - and when I wrote: "Quite nice, but now without moss, something annoys me, 5 points" - that wouldn't work (yet).
Then on to failure on the second path, that of the imagination. I hope at least it won't be a self-published angel thriller.

The setting is clear to everyone who has worked his way through the other comments and statements: Vienna, inner city, early twentieth century. World cities? Paris, London, Vienna. Closing time. Fiaker; coffee house; kiss the hand; all somehow melancholic, somehow exhilarating: the fin de siècle has survived, albeit with damage; Mei, the Ensign is smart; Mr. Section Council, how is the state of health; the k.k.tobacco director convicts large amounts of Turkish and Virginias - modest prosperity etc. etc.
Does Knize Ten then get caught in all these anchor points as if by itself, without any great effort on the part of the imagination? Yes, it is. Unrestricted. The jamy strawberry or stone fruit note described by many is still the most difficult to locate in the top note. Please: What would Art Nouveau be without strawberries and apricots in green glass bowls? The leather comes back, somewhat worn. Worn coffee house upholstery (red!). Over it a slightly pointed aftershave note. Not specific, more generic. Privy Councillors were with the barber to celebrate the previously frozen assets successfully retrieved from England after the war. Among them roses (kiss the hand, Mrs. Section Councillor!, we already had that above) and then always this slightly burnt one. Well, coal stoves, a light, constant smell of fire in streets and courtyards. Homeliness without fat and onion smell - quite fine. Others have associated the smell of fire with plastic and the dawn of a new era. Thinkable and conclusive, but not for me. All this in noble disparity and yet at the same time in changing intensities. A fragrance like a social evening.

Is that still portable in 2018? How do you answer this question? What is always meant by this question, which somehow doesn't want to have a right salary for me? Food for the blog? I might. Until then, I don't know what the honored reader wants from a scent. If he wants to smell good (and didn't want to spit on himself while reading my scent impressions), he should buy it and wear it. Little helps a lot, 15ml do not cost the world and should last long.

Happy birthday, my faithful friend

"Knize Ten. It's a great age. 90 years old. I'm sure it's been reformulated. Anyway, I like it just as it is. I've known and worn it for 10 years, since my twenties. It took some time for us to warm up to each other. Of course he has rough edges. He's not a crowdpleaser, nor does he want to be. And that's what makes him so interesting!

"Knize Ten" offers animalic leather, finely dabbed floral-spicy. It's tart, unsweet, yet inviting to cuddle. He is loud, present, but at the same time fine-spiritual in its composition. Masculine, of course, but not ostentatiously macho. He seems out of time, comprehensible, but more contour, severity and courage to be different never hurt anyone. He fits the three-piece suit just like jeans and Harrington.

Maybe the environment says, the fragrance does not fit you. Too large age differences are often eyed critically. So what? If you like "Knize Ten", then wear it. You will grow with it.
Yes, you have to get to know it. He's not easily accessible. Sometimes he locks up, the day and the mood have to fit. But then, once you become friends with him, he stays. A reliable companion.

So dare, you who cling to fragrances that rival any baking recipe in terms of ingredients, who chase profiless laboratory constructs without heart or soul, you who have fallen for the olfactory promises of salvation in the turquoise temples of consumption, chasing after every ambroxan-freshened or oud-swollen trend. Take heart. It's worth it! :-)

The other day with the anonymous perfume addicts

Slowly I parked my car in front of the church, a few more parking spaces were already occupied. 7:25 pm, I was on time. A little bit uncertain I got out only when nobody else was to be seen. Quickly I scurried to the entrance and went inside. A sign showed me the way and so I strolled hesitantly towards the room. A somewhat older gentleman waved to me and told me to come here. I looked around to see if he meant someone else, but since I was the only one standing in the corridor it was undoubtedly me.
"Good man, now come on! We want to take off!" I hurried towards him and tapped my hat brim briefly to greet him. As there was only one seat left in the seating circle, the choice was easy. "Dear participants, now that we are all here, I would like to welcome you all. My name is Peter Rada and I can already see some new faces". At this he swung his head in my direction. So I stood up and introduced myself briefly. "My name is Chizza, just Chizza, that's a stage name, but a different story... Anyway, I'm here today because I share your problem. The cash registers are empty, the vouchers are always used up and my wife would like to slowly buy things for daily use again instead of continuing to use up all the specimens, e.g. when showering. In short: I have a perfume problem." "Thank you very much, Mr. Chizza, I would like to go into this in more detail, but first we want to listen to how the good Hank is doing. Tell me, how's the flanker problem with Boss Bottled?" "Um, let me put it this way: do you know the Aromatic, Peter? It's with myrrh." "Okay, I see we still have room for improvement. Let's get to our newcomer, tell me about it."
So I started: " Well, I have a certain problem, I like old scents. I like the Halston Z-14, the Antaeus, other classics like Bel Ami or even Pino Silvestre. Sometimes I pose as Chizza Bogart." "I know your problem. How old are you?" "Year 87 but recently I was wearing Habit Rouge and my wife was no longer sure; year 87 or 87 years old. That's when I realized: Chizza Bogart, you've got a problem. But now it comes: there I discovered this one fragrance, it's even older and it did it to me, I won't hide it from you."
"We are curious, nobody is interrupting you anyway, 30% is with the perfume dealer and even 99% on PdM. The others are engrossed in the mobile phone."

"the kneeler - Ten is. His start alone... a poem, I tell you! The full load of citrus fruits but he remains tart, I feel directly optional like my grandfather and want to buy the big bottle of Pitralon or I am James Dean. Again and again a cloud of Ten steams towards me, he quickly becomes flowery, but not tulips, but rather flowers doused with alcohol. Amazing! Those around me either turn up their noses - certainly with olfactory delight - or reach for a cognac, at least when I'm in the supermarket. And so the scent lingers on my skin for many hours. It becomes weaker but its characteristic. It never loses its characteristics. It is always slightly leathery, slightly musky and yet remains cool and tart. Then I am almost really James Dean. At least until I am done vacuuming and my wife has new tasks for me. How do I solve the problem?"

"Look, the colleague next to you, who is bouncing so confusedly back and forth next to you, owns DJ Love. Twice." "Jesus Christ!" "with a personal dedication." "The man is lost!" "That's the point. You, on the other hand, are addicted to a fragrance with an 8.0 rating. A scent that is tart and leathery and you love to smell it because it's multi-faceted. At the beginning, as you said, it's like you said. Afterwards the base becomes very intense. Really a dream! Do you understand? That's no problem. At least until you move on and consistently buy Rojas for 600 euros." "That makes sense. "That makes sense. You helped me."

I left the meeting of the anonymous perfume alcoholics, got into the car, sprayed two or three shots of Ten and continued with a smile.

Gymnasium catharsis

Preferably a Knize Ten would be Beikoch in the Golden Dragon, responsible for menu no. 69 and third cousin of HopSing (the guy from Shiloh Ranch). The truth is rarely pure and never simple, so none of the above applies. If you think of Knize Ten, you see Schnitzlers' Arthur, equipped with lorgnette, whiskers and knee breeches pulled up to the navel, entering a gym that has been waxed so hard that the anus shave that has been applied shortly before immediately binds with the wax and causes the wearer to immediately go into the knee-bending position... The rest is sports history: the squat better known as the squat was born.
The fragrance with which one looks in vain for leather or the like (here the imagination or a professional nose is probably in demand) has by its valuable design certainly its place in the art of perfumery but seems rather a smell than a perfume. The floor polish is accompanied by something slightly nutty, but you can find it better and cheaper in Tabac EDC. Knize Ten is the perfect background for Schnitzler's dream novel with Fridolin and Albertine or alternatively with Nicole Kidman and Tom C. who wore the scent under guarantee on the weird party with all the naked women and the disturbed guys with the hoodies...
