Flea Market Southern France Glücksgriff N° 2
My heart beat faster when the flea market seller opened a still original closed bottle from the fifties (or even older times) for me! The question is always when you find such old treasures: Carry or store? And if you decide to wear it, what if you fall so in love that you can't find a similar scent? With all vintage fragrances, I still have to test them first. What I like so much about this Cologne is the bergamot, which is still very present right down to the base note, as it can be found in the top note of many fragrances and disappears relatively quickly. I love bergamot. The lavender gives a certain coolness. Lavender is usually a striking component of more masculine perfumes, but why more masculine? I find the fragrance absolutely wearable for women. The spicy components further distinguish this fragrance for me, as it is not only citrus-fresh. He goes beyond that. As nice as purely citric scents can be (e.g. Eau d' Hadrien), more interesting effects are achieved by the citric scents, which are framed by further e.g. floral notes and thus come to the fore even better. In principle I appreciate a certain durability (here typical for cologna about half a day) and an exciting fragrance. This fragrance has a very linear progression and gives mainly freshness with a portion of understatement. A beautiful, very classic and for everyone very wearable fragrance, especially in the summer heat
