The Fragrant Passenger
Hey hey folks! You know what's coming up, right? Exactly! A new evening -> A new comment! Whether you like it or not, he he. Today we’re talking about “El Pasajero” by Lengling, which translates to Passenger (or also fare dodger).
Well, you could say a lot about passengers, as there are all sorts of people. Some are loud, some are quirky, some are rude, and some are rather inconspicuous… then there are the “Genital Posers” who like to sit with their legs wide apart, annoying everyone and usually taking up two seats at once. These are 99.99999% always male… *sigh*… wouldn’t it be nice, or when was the last time you saw a woman sitting with her legs spread in public?... :DD
(…ahhh, ladies never sit with their legs spread in front of me and… wait! That sounds wrong… argh just forget what I just said :DDD)
Anyway, even in olfactory terms, there are different “creatures” among passengers. There are those who smell good because they wear the perfect scent for every season, then there are those whose scent choices are more of a disaster and usually wear an inappropriate fragrance, then we have the walking tester bottles like certain friends of mine, who after a day of scent testing in the city smell like a different fragrance on every square centimeter of their skin (right, Christine? He he :D) and end up stinking up the whole bus or train, and then there’s the worst kind: Those who believe that perfumes should be banned and prefer to spread their own (sweaty) pheromones everywhere… *gag*
Anyway, let’s see how Lengling olfactorily implements the scent of a passenger :D
**The Scent:**
The top note… uh… wait. With Lengling fragrances, they categorize the scents into the Leng- and Ling-note! So, new attempt: At the beginning, in the Leng-note, I smell general flowers that come across a bit heavy and have a slightly sweet scent. But mostly I smell salty, seaweed-like notes that might not be to everyone’s taste, but they remind me of one thing: The beautiful sea!
In the background, there are light, sweet scents from the tuberoses, green-spicy notes from galbanum, as well as generally resinous, softly scented tones. The heavy flowers diminish a bit and become “normally” floral without being cloying, although the salty notes still occasionally come across as a bit heavier.
The Ling-note later is more floral-sweet, as the floral notes become heavier and slightly more humid again, but they also radiate a nice sweetness. This sweetness is further enhanced by the vanilla, and the fragrance also gets a powdery touch from the vanilla, which pairs well with the softly aromatic scents like the resins.
In the end, you can only smell the vanilla, which you can still smell well until the next morning.
**The Sillage and Longevity:**
The sillage is initially good, but quickly weakens and becomes rather mediocre, so that the fragrance, despite its somewhat heavy notes, is best smelled up close.
The longevity is extremely good, as the scent lasts until the next morning and still smells quite good at the sprayed spot. However, one should keep in mind that most of this long-lasting scent actually only smells like vanilla.
**The Bottle:**
The bottle is rectangular with strongly rounded edges and a thick base. A narrow fabric label, which is attached over two halves of the bottle, displays the name of the fragrance. The cap is round, chrome-plated, and you can see the engraved brand name on it. A simple but beautiful bottle.
So,… I would now say that one was lucky to encounter a passenger who smelled pleasant. Phew…! :D
Yes, El Pasajero is a nice fragrance that radiates salty notes, but these are increasingly overshadowed by floral-sweet scents later on, which sometimes come across as heavy and even humid.
Due to the salty aura, the fragrance smells like a spring and summer scent, but the heavy floral notes would rather be overwhelming in the hot summer, so I would recommend using the fragrance best in spring or autumn.
Because of the floral scents, especially like tuberose, El Pasajero is not a unisex fragrance for me, but rather a pure women’s fragrance, as it comes across very feminine. Not overly sprayed, it can be worn during the day; otherwise, it also fits well for going out. So, you can definitely give it a try, but the scent doesn’t necessarily stand out from other tuberose fragrances, well, maybe only through the initial, seaweed-like notes.
And that’s it again, wishing you a lovely evening :)
See you next time!

Interesting, you perceive it as completely different. The salty note remains elusive for me; I immediately smell the heavy flowers and a lot of vanilla. I need to sniff it again with this perspective in mind. So far, I find the Lenglings rather challenging; all the ones I've tried are just too opulent for my taste.

As soon as I see anything about seaweed or algae, I'm out, yuck. But it doesn't seem like the scent turned out that bad... still, the brand has a weird name :D

...I find the seaweed absolute really interesting, but I wonder how it pairs with the floral notes... mhhh, sounds intriguing. By the way, being a walking scent tester is pretty great when the fragrances smell good, but it gets tricky when you can't remember which scent is which afterward ;))).
