Since when does the Eisbach stick?
Disclaimer upfront: I was born in Munich and live there, the evaluation of the fragrance may be influenced by the name.
"Have you heard of the Munich niche brand Lengling? No? You have to try the Eisbach, especially as a Munich resident."
Eisbach then. I expect cooling. Bavarian lifestyle. An energetic statement that fits the Munich self-understanding of "mia san mia" just as well as the internationally known Eisbach wave. Surfing all year round, drifting through the Eisbach, and then taking the tram (yes, that is tolerated^^) back. I have countless memories of this cool water, all of them positive. I know this lifeline of the million-inhabitant city from both the water and the shore. I know every corner.
And I hope for a green, light scent with an aquatic touch.
Okay, high expectations for a perfume. Might not be fair. But the perfume wasn't fair to me either...
The first breeze reminds me more of a barbershop, coming around very fougère-like. But not bad at all. Zesty grapefruit at least fits with some hipster beer mixes that the youth might be drinking by the shore. The lavender also brings some freshness and likely contributes to the barber touch.
Unfortunately, after a short time, the mimosa really takes over, the scent becomes unpleasantly sweet and feels completely unbalanced to me. A truly sticky and damn well adhering mess. Associations with the Balea Men beard care product line come to mind. And the product range is just way too sweet. Unisexy is how the scent comes across, but it is neither sexy nor fresh, at least not for long. Where the Eisbach has a clear flow, the intended homage circles around mimosa and lavender. Mint, tea, and basil I read. Maybe there were a few seconds of those to smell...no idea, I have practically already forgotten the scent, even though it still clings sweetly and mushily to my arm. It can't be the only association that makes one want to jump into the Eisbach in flight?!
The bottle capsule can imitate Isar pebbles all it wants, the sillage and longevity can be above average...I am unfortunately already disappointed.
This perfume reflects the dark sides of Munich - expensive, because there is enough Diridari (money) available. A lot of marketing, a lot of big city, a lot of blah blah...a bit of hipster barbershop and a whole lot of sticky decadence.
Only the Eisbach I search for in vain.
I would have been very pleased and would have even paid a high price for a cool fresh German niche brand from Munich. I would have also fallen for clever marketing and wanted to like the scent, because of its name. Unfortunately, the scent is also unsuccessful beyond the completely botched naming (which happens often). And the Lenglings are clearly more at home in Neuhausen and on Maximilianstraße than at the Eisbach.
