Anthem Manos Gerakinis 2021

I ordered a Discovery set from Manos Gerakinis. It came a nice little black box with the fragrances and a note written by hand.
The first impression was definitely positive. Little by little, I tested the fragrances. Except for two, I like all good to very good. One of the two that I do not like is Anthem.
This fragrance is extremely biting! The really hurts in the nose. My first thought was: "Turpentine!".
I wanted to give Anthem a second chance and so my husband took pity to test this fragrance on his wrist. And again, Anthem proved to be extremely biting! It lasted like that for quite a while until it finally calmed down and became softer. I could then perceive some vanilla, amber and sandalwood, maybe some musk.

Anthem will definitely NOT make an entrance here.
