Unorthodox freshness for spring
Introduction
in midsummer last year, just as my enthusiasm for perfume was gaining momentum, I ordered a sample set from MFK, because the price had convinced me and a friend had recommended the house. It contained Aqua Vitae Forte, Amiris Homme, masculin Puriel and Aqua Celestia Forte. I had chosen the two aquas based on the scents, the others had been suggested to me. When the samples finally arrived after endless delivery time, it was a balmy 30-37 degrees Celsius outside and I'll tell you one thing, dear perfume enthusiasts, that is not the right temperature for MFK fragrances. While Masculin Puriel was somewhat bearable even in the heat, the other scents made me want to flush my nose with rubbing alcohol in no time to escape the penetrating smell. Am I saying that the scents are objectively bad? Absolutely not. Everything has its time and place and a wonderful down jacket doesn't make you happy on the beach in summer. Still, the samples went to the back of the shelf for a little over half a year. Now that spring beckons us, it was time to give them a second chance. Today I was in the mood for something fresh.
The Scent
Aqua Celestia Forte starts off very fresh, rather citrusy. Maybe it's the lime - clearly I can not identify it. At 20 degrees, the fragrance also really has a pleasant intensity. The only drawback is that the acidic freshness, especially in the first few minutes, runs the risk of awakening cleaner associations. After a short while, the scent becomes softer and more floral. The scent continues to form a pleasant cloud that the wearer also regularly gets something from. However, it seems less room-filling to me than Masculin Puriel. To my nose, this is a true unisex fragrance. I feel that men who see themselves as modern and are not afraid to emphasize their feminine side will have the most fun with this perfume. For women, it is a pleasantly fresh change from the sweet vanilla fragrances that currently dominate the market.
The outfit
I have a breezy spring outfit in mind. The fragrance is flamboyant in a way that would definitely allow the combination of a patterned Hawaiian shirt with plain shorts. For the brave among us, even a nice straw hat would be appropriate. The ladies could wear a simple short dress in light colours (e.g. lemon yellow). So equipped it could then go with good drinks and a portable grill to the lake.
I for my part am already looking forward to spring and am happy about the small view, which gives us the weather at the moment.
In any case, I wish you lots of fun trying it out. Subsequently, I would be interested in whether you find yourself in the recommendations for the outfit or perhaps have completely different associations with the fragrance

Percival, is that you?
Mexx Fresh Splash actually manages to convince. Driven by the, for a cheap fragrance impressive, rating I gave him a chance this morning and I must say, for the price he is outstanding. It starts off very fresh. Dominating is a shower gel note...
