Peach Iced Tea from Aldi
Don't worry, the title is not meant to sound disrespectful. This perfume is truly excellently crafted, high quality, and pure in natural ingredients. Peach iced tea was just my first association when I smelled the fragrance for the first time. But more on that later.
L'Artisan Parfumeur was, and still is, known to me as a niche brand. Especially because Bertrand Duchaufour works as a perfumer for them. However, I haven't really paid much attention to their perfumes until now. This was probably also due to the fact that the prices for these fragrances are beyond the €100 mark.
Last week, while browsing at the local TK, I noticed a few packages from this very company. Al Oudh, Mon numero 10, and of course L'Eau du Caporal. Quickly checked the perfumes on Parfumo. L'Eau du Caporal first, fresh-fougère-like, I like it, took it home blindly. I was really happy to have gotten such an exclusive niche perfume for a small price.
I rushed home with impatience and then opened the packaging. Seven-sided heavy glass bottle, the crest on the cap, the inscription "L'Artisan Parfumeur Paris" laser-engraved on the side, and a small inscription with "L'Eau du Caporal" (reminds me a bit of Caron). Very nice, very elegant.
Since a longer walk with the family was planned, this was a perfect time for testing. So, I applied it to my wrist. But be careful, you know this scent. I just couldn't immediately remember where from.
The opening is very fresh, softly citrusy. The lemon does not overwhelm you, but is somewhat kept in check by the tangerine. A bit floral even. Very pleasant, very gentleman-like. This perception changes only slightly for me. After about three hours, it becomes a bit more fougère overall. But still very soft. Complex, yet perfectly composed. Nothing stands out unpleasantly.
A fragrance where you can practically smell the high-quality ingredients. Nothing here smells sharp or artificial. Just a wonderful composition.
The longevity is very good average; the sillage, however, is hardly room-filling. Overall, this fits very well with the overall concept of this fragrance.
Who can or should wear it? Well, that's a difficult question, a difficult answer. It is definitely not for the under-30 generation. Moreover, it's not for those who want to stand out. No pantydropper, no crowd-pleaser. More for the man who values understatement and is aware of the luxury product he is wearing. No one who needs to show off anything. Just style.
Now about the iced tea. At some point, it struck me like a bolt of lightning where I know this scent from. Peach iced tea from Aldi. Anyone who doesn't believe me or thinks I'm crazy should go to Aldi, buy a bottle of this, chill it, drink it, and smell it. Well, where do I know this scent from...

I especially love the classification as a subtle luxury product.
For me, it's the perfect work scent...
