Anticonformiste Mizensir 2023

First of all: I was very pleased to have finally won something. Even more so that it was the Mizensir, I really like the Cologne du Mate and the Poudre d'or. So I unpacked it and tried it out...

At first it seemed very masculine, almost showery. The mint really comes through for me and develops into a very fresh head with the violet leaf. Gardenia and sechuan quickly come into their own for me, making it quite spicy. The calone is intended to intensify the impression and then tonka and patchouli come into their own in the dry down, rounding off the fragrance somewhat.

And now the guy's performance. I held my arm under his nose and it came out: Your arm smells like arm... I sniffed it again and again over the course of the evening and I think it's nice. It is somehow subtle but not entirely pleasing and somehow I wondered who I could give the fragrance to. It's not classy enough for a man. It's not linear enough for my dear office buddy, as he's quite conservative when it comes to perfumes. My other office buddy wouldn't find it oriental enough either - after all, he likes ombre leather stuff. But then my brother came to mind. He likes different fragrances, is somehow an anti-conformist in his own way without everyone noticing... and that's exactly what this fragrance is. It's different within the guard rails of pleasantness...

And now my verdict: Nice men's fragrance with nice components. I think it's quite good, but I wouldn't spend 250 euros on it - I don't want it enough for that. But if you like this blend, you should check it out.
