The tame house cat

I don't think the name is really the program here.
I simply bought the scent blindly and did not have to regret it.
Although the composition and appearance of the bottle pointed in a different direction, I was pleasantly surprised by this extremely sociable tiger. A subject already urban tiger, which has got used to the contact with people.

I do not perceive the scent as animalistic. The oud is also hardly or not at all perceptible for me.
In the beginning it is rather the bitter orange that is in the foreground, but after 5 minutes it recedes benignly into the background.

Now a slightly wicked and elegant woody-creamy aura appears. Iris and leather slightly dominate here, without the iris bringing in any powderiness.

In the beginning I was a bit sceptical, before the scent arrived, if it wouldn't become an Oud-Rose combo again, where you can't smell anything else. But, somehow, fortunately, I can barely see the rose here myself.
Everything seems well rounded and harmonized with each other, except for the bitter orange mentioned at the beginning, which makes the fragrance for me a pleasure only after 5 minutes.

What then remains on the skin after 7-8 hours is a soft bed of fragrant woods with a touch of cream
Sillage is Montale typically room filling at first go.

Only the flacons are and remain a disaster.
I've had deodorant bottles that looked better. Well, so be it. The content is what counts and it is really charming.

On cold days his potential really comes into its own, as I had to realize
