Rose with moss and honey
An average 1980s fragrance pyramid, black-red-gold screaming and fake-jugendstily packaged, the merchandising product for a global restaurant chain - you can safely ignore that, can't you? Not at all, this perfume is surprisingly good!
Immediately Maxim's reveals itself as a dark chypre with lush oak moss and bitter forest honey. It is warm and spicy, at the beginning a little tangy-fresh with bergamot and a distinctive combination of mint and hyacinth.
Then a finely tuned bouquet of flowers appears. For a while the rose is in the foreground here, but not large-flowered and bright, rather inconspicuous. Gradually bright notes such as orange blossom, mimosa and broom can be recognized and dark notes such as carnation and narcissus. After several hours, the rose sinks into a rich flower base. Later, soft amber gives the perfume an oriental feel, and with a powdery touch, it finishes pleasantly.
The backbone of this perfume is the combination of an incredibly strong oakmoss note with tangy, spicy honey. This keynote, which is present from the first to the last second, is most beautiful when it contrasts with the rose in the middle phase.
This perfume is recommended to all who like chypres and florientals - provided they also like moss, so: a lot of moss!
A vintage copy was tested. I don't know whether all the flacons still on the market were produced before 2010. This women's fragrance is no longer produced and has been replaced by three new fragrances. The same applies to the men's line.
