My entry into the niche

I would like to dedicate my first review to this beautiful fragrance by MFK.
I first tested it in a perfumery in Vienna when my points of contact with perfume were still limited to Jeremy Fragrance videos and classic small-town Douglas visits.

Unsuspecting, I entered the "Nägele & Strubell" store in Vienna's city center in the summer of 2018 and asked for advice. In the end, the last two candidates were "Gentle fluidity (Silver) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" and Amyris Homme Eau de Toilette.
After extensive testing on both wrists and a few hours later, I purchased my first niche fragrance, the Amyris Homme Eau de Toilette.

What can I say, it has been a permanent fixture in my collection ever since.
The decisive factor for me was that it is very pleasant, but by no means ordinary. It is a fresh everyday fragrance that stands out but is not overpowering. The top note in particular is simply brilliant. In the drydown, it develops more into a sweet, woody fragrance. In general, the silage is rather skin-deep for me, but the longevity is quite respectable for a fragrance of this type.

Regarding the price:
I find it difficult to award points for price/performance, as niche perfumery is more of a luxury item for me and you should generally always ask yourself whether it is really worth the price. Nevertheless, I think the price of Amyris Homme Eau de Toilette is reasonable for the unique, yet pleasing DNA and quality that you get from MFK.

In conclusion, it is by no means my favorite fragrance, but I do enjoy wearing it from time to time. Especially in summer!
If you don't know it, here's the absolute test recommendation!
