The German one-man show
Bought about two years ago, I have Marbert Homme (MH) after smelling for the first time, quite perplexed, put aside and only recently again hervorgekramt.
By the comments and statements here, the thought could arise, MH is a smooth citrus fragrance with woody-warm notes and floral touched. The current transparent Flacon allows such an interpretation quite. And the fragrance pyramid mentions jasmine, vanilla and cedarwood.
So far so good. But I smell something completely different.
After I have bought me for about two and a half years a large range of different fragrances, I can now better classify MH, which I then as a novice simply not yet succeeded. MH I assign rather a category "old Powerhouse" (so much for the terms that one takes after youtubesker continuous sprinkling with English language in his basic vocabulary), so mossy, very bitter, extremely green, aromatic, no sweetness.
To find a scent twin, I sprayed on Bogart's "Bogart" and the One Man Show (OMS), Puig's Quorum and Cartier Santos and observed, or smelled, the progressions. Of the four, OMS comes the closest to MH. Santos is quite distant at first, but approaches the MH somewhat as it progresses. Quorum and Bogart are darker, warmer, a bit more pleasing, less bitter. MH, in comparison, is very "herbaceous", slightly soapy and rather "light green" (the green hue of the cardboard packaging sums it up well). In its own way, more slaggy, determined, concrete and pithy. And so he remains even after a few hours, where, on the other hand, OMS develops tamer.
The fragrance pyramid above can therefore only be true in parts. It certainly has "citrus" in it, but not the fresh bergamot or lime notes, but rather the bitterness of a grapefruit. Rose - maybe. Jasmine - if so, it goes down for me. And the fragrance pyramid is missing notes like clove, moss, pine, or whatever in combination evokes that "herbaceousness" (maybe someone can help me there).
How do I like this? I like the OMS to some extent (the Gold and Ruby editions say more to me, and I really like the Oud). Bogart and Quorum I wear from time to time, as classics of the category and me most likely. For the OMS, I don't find too many occasions where I wear it. And the MH? Well, on the one hand, MH has the advantage of going in all seasons, for day and evening. I think for the right man, MH can be a signature scent. It's well crafted, has decent longevity, comes across as very masculine, and can't be beat for the price.
But just not mine.

Moderate masculinity with versatility gain
The original 1982 Quorum, even in its thinned-out formula today, represents the dust-dry green herbaceousness of a solid man's fragrance with many ingediencies, but speaking with one voice, calling one chord.
Quorum Silver...
