Gentle Fluidity (Silver) Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2019

Unfortunately, I wasn't interested in niche perfumes during the glorious days of Creed Aventus. I didn't even know that such a thing existed, not to mention this (great) community here.

But I'm sure that a few, let's say 6-8 years ago, it was still considered a niche fragrance and performed excellently.

Now, this scent and its thousands of dupes are certainly not bad or anything, but this DNA hasn't blown me away.

I actually wanted something like this. A fresh-fruity and spicy "men's scent" with After-Shave vibes (I see nothing wrong with that).

After I found Oxford to be very good, I continued to search through the endless expanses of the WWW.

I sampled and loved "Grand Soir | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" - but it's the complete opposite of what MY Aventus could be. Nevertheless, I decided to test the fresh scents from MFK; maybe there's something there!

Now I've had Gentle Fluidity Silver on my wrist for two hours and I'm blown away.

I like linear fragrances - because if I already like the opening, I want to enjoy it all day long.
One reason why I like, among others, Tom Ford. The scent developments at MFK and TF seem to be limited, which I really appreciate!

Now, let's talk about GFS: The opening literally hits you in the face like a bottle of Plymouth Navy Strength Gin, without ice and lemon, of course.

The nutmeg joins in and drags the woods along behind it. After a few minutes, everything settles down beautifully and stays exactly the same for the next 2 hours, no more, no less.

I'm still waiting for the drydown, but I assume that not much will change with my spiced juniper aftershave. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Gentle Fluidity Silver is MY Aventus; he is my slightly fruity, fresh, and spicy friend who looks good in all situations and will hopefully accompany me for a long time.

I can't say much about H/S yet, but it will be added later :)

Thank you for reading!
