The best second violin in the world
This perfume arrived about 3 months ago and made an impressive first impression. The discreet faux leather packaging is lined on the inside with a slightly rough satin. Hidden inside is the golden bottle... made of plastic, but still appealing.
I took it out and sprayed five times on a piece of paper: Phewhh, brutal, petrol-like and pungent. There was no clear scent, so I put it aside for the time being. Over time, these perfumes often become more pleasing and balanced. In the meantime, I no longer put perfumes in a drawer immediately after my first impression, as I know for sure that they will surprise me.
7 weeks later, I took it out again and sprayed it on paper again. As expected, Qaa'ed had changed - the petrol-like quality had faded and a dry, spicy note had emerged. Nevertheless, it remained strange and did not match the (then) rating of 8.1.
Shortly afterwards, during a walk, I passed a restaurant whose kitchen fumes were spilling out onto the street. A gust of wind hit me and immediately reminded me of Qaa'ed: indefinably spicy, slightly fishy and slightly like currywurst sauce. I couldn't shake this thought. I put Qaa'ed away again, with the plan to pass it on.
A few weeks later, I was in Galeria Kaufhof and tested the Spicebomb Extreme again. With the aim of being able to compare it more precisely with the Odyssey Homme from Armaf.
Perhaps some of you have already guessed what this article is about.
The opening of Spicebomb was, as always, deliciously spicy, followed by a pleasant sweetness. However, the Odyssey lacks this opening, but that can be fixed!
Because I had my own spice bomb at home: Qaa'ed !!!
As soon as I got home, I put everything aside, opened the cupboard and took out my two hopefuls. I sprayed on Qaa'ed and then Odyssey Homme. OH MY GOD!!! What a creation! It was as if a parallel universe to Spicebomb Extreme had opened up! It's not the same fragrance, but a perfect, complex parallel fragrance of the two inspirations. Since then, I'm glad I kept Qaa'ed, because it's exactly these kinds of unexpected surprises that excite me in this hobby.
Strong comeback Qaa'ed !!!
