Be a first-class version of yourself, not a second-class version of someone else. Judy Garland

Being like someone else is not a good idea. Appearing somewhat similar is also not recommended. Presenting oneself completely differently makes more sense. This also applies to this craftsman.
Unfortunately, the old amphora is a bit dusty and stands completely alone in the corner, which no longer interests many, which is tragic and unfortunate, but not a sudden new phenomenon given the long-lasting sweet and aquatic trend. Therefore, a renovation is planned, and a craftsman has been asked who knows what he wants to maintain the packaging but aims to deliver novelty inside.
However, saying goodbye to the old is not entirely easy; the pepper is very spicy and can definitely be considered a reference point for the white Eau de Cologne.
This appears long after the floral debut, which the craftsman initially presents as a florist.
These rose geraniums and lavender are strong and dominate the first phase of construction enormously.
The grapefruit and bergamot are very weak in curbing the floral notes. Consequently, the pepper is very possessive afterward. Despite all the calls of Sauvage, this gray is not a colorless mouse but stands out pleasantly from the Ambrox waters like Sauvage and the like.
It is a puzzle how one can interpret such scents.
The longevity is better than expected; the note strongly resembles Carbone by Balmain, but only from the third part of this story, reminiscent of old glorious times. From here, it gets significantly better in quality and starts to please.
Another explanation for this scent is if an acquaintance who doesn't care about fragrances has been walking around with the same Boss Orange scent for years and, as a crown, always wears his Boss jeans or chinos, suddenly wants to know after what feels like thirteen years what this good scent is that he is wearing. In this simple logic, it cannot be that bad. Of course, one can always define the world as one wishes. Nevertheless, this product costs not a hundred, not fifty francs or euros, but a pleasant thirty. A fair gesture from the manufacturer, who produces many good things that are all not overpriced.
The Baldessarini line is set aside, as one cannot always reconcile the prices with the quality.
Returning to the gray craftsman, he develops pleasantly and gains the necessary wisdom and calmness towards the end.
The beginning is far too spectacular to then fade away maturely and calmly. This can be said of only a few fragrances that play in this league for annual survival.
Most drop out after one or two unsuccessful seasons and are discarded.
Here, Mäurer & Wirtz is a pleasant example that does not unsuccessfully chase every trend. If they do, then they do not have ultra-nervous marketing cracks in their ranks who cover up their own lack of success by pushing 12 novelties per brand and thus make the search for a signature absolutely impossible.
Mäurer & Wirtz seems to give their products a real chance in the market. Therefore, more such surprises are welcome, which are not a second-class version of something else but a first-class variant of their own product.
Thus, the craftsman has fulfilled his role, and no revisions will surely be necessary.
Unless they bring out the Craftsman intense, Cologne, del Mar, or cool force.
