He who does not honour the penny is not worth the thaler...
In intralogistics as well as in
In the retail trade, storage shelves are divided into various horizontal shelf zones, which are usually named as follows: Stretch zone (uppermost shelves), viewing zone, gripping zone and bending zone (lowermost shelves)
The marketing strategy of the retail trade naturally includes placing the more expensive goods always on the top shelves and the cheaper ones accordingly at the very bottom. However, it is often the lowest shelves (bending zone) where fabulous treasures are hidden...
Those shelves, which are often overlooked by customers or which some of them certainly do not want to notice consciously...

During my currently ongoing voyage of discovery through the very inexpensive or so-called "drugstore fragrances" I recently discovered a brand I had never heard of before in such a low shelf: Marbert.
I was (once again) in my favourite drugstore and after a short 'googling' I learned that Marbert - to my great surprise - is a German cosmetics manufacturer who (according to my information) went bankrupt many years ago. When I first got the scent I intuitively believed in a French house, because I spontaneously - for whatever reason - pronounced the name in French... Probably out of my affection for houses in our neighbouring country. I think the wish had been the father of the idea. Well, you can be mistaken...
(To be honest, it's not that far-fetched and doesn't really sound that bad when you pronounce it in French; you can try it...)
[...]
So I met this Marbert Homme by Marbert EdT the other day in my regular drugstore and I was suddenly gripped by curiosity. Without any expectations and knowledge about this brand I took the tester and sprayed a test strip first. What my nose found there immediately, I found to be beautiful The fragrance starts out incredibly fresh and floral at the same time, a very gentle and delicate start of citrus fruits as well as flowers like jasmine and rose, which give it an intense, slightly honeyed and sweet-floral nuance.
It can be said that the top and middle notes basically occur together in the chord and not really separately. At least that's how I perceive the scent. And I find this beginning in a way very reassuring and sensitive, as if you are taken in the arms of a very loved person and just pressed very hard. I sprayed my wrist and took the test strip with me...
This fresh floral impression at the beginning remains for a while before cedar and vanilla join in the base. These take the initial freshness away a little and give the fragrance its long-lasting woody-aromatic final character, in which it remains slightly sweetish due to the vanilla in the background. But the aromatic-woody predominates in this case.
Here the scent is described as spicy-woody, but I personally perceive no spices at all.
In my opinion, this 'Homme by Marbert' is a super smooth potential signature candidate that can be worn at any season, any time of the day and any occasion. If I had to commit myself to one or more seasons, I would probably choose spring/autumn.
But he is definitely one who doesn't get on anyone's nerves; quite the contrary. I'm relatively sure that he would come across as very pleasant for everyone. And I think it can be considered as unisex, so that it can be worn by the dear women without any problems - even if it says 'homme' on it.
The durability is great as I think, because on my skin I perceive it very decent 6h. It doesn't leave a big cloud of sillage, which suits the fragrance as such quite well. It is a rather calm and quiet contemporary, which comes along very noble and fine, without attracting attention by any unnecessary "vulgarities".
One small note about the bottle: Here it is listed in dark green, but I'm talking about the transparent bottle with light beige liquid that I discovered in my regular drugstore. Whether this green is simply the older design, I cannot say. In other perfumeries/shops I've probably only seen it in a transparent bottle.
But if you enter at least Marbert Homme by Marbert here, you will only see the green one...
Conclusion:
I am extremely pleased to have found the next great "10er" on my voyage of discovery of "drugstore fragrances", who has moved in with me. Since you can get a 100ml bottle for only 9,99€, it is simply phenomenal and unbeatable in terms of price-performance ratio. A great, elegant and really attractive fragrance with an aromatic and flowery-woody character. Fortunately, it is not equipped with any lousy synthetics and convinces me totally.
This discovery motivates me very much, so that I am mega curious about what I will meet in the future in super cheap waters.
So I can really recommend everyone to give the generally very cheap scents a chance (who hasn't done it yet).
It is always worthwhile to bend down to the lowest shelves from time to time (even if it is difficult for some people). Because there you will definitely find one or the other rough diamond that you would probably never see otherwise. And so you might also rethink your own scent buying behaviour at the same time.
At least I've been feeling that way for a while now...
Already in Martin Luther's time there was this venerable saying:
"He who does not respect the penny shall have no master of the guilt..." [...]
Many thanks to all who have read along!
