Classic in modern - or style is timeless(e elegance)
The fragrance is new and I'm usually skeptical about completely new fragrances: I'm actually the one who prefers the classics and modern classics, but at the same time really has difficulties with the newer and more current fragrances and scents.
I absolutely cannot stand oud. Now everyone is going for cannabis. Well, there have always been trends. I have always mentioned this in other reviews and taken a closer look at it. And that has to be the case. A lot of things come back in parts, repeat themselves, some things are brought out again - in fashion, music, perfumery, in designs...that's the way it has to be.
Somehow the wheel is not being reinvented, but it is always being pimped (to use this neologism).
Well, today everything is so loud and present. Fragrance is a status symbol.
Status symbolism:
I have a Rolex. I'm wearing a Moncler jacket. It's written all over it. Over the Stone Island sweater, whose emblems are of course impossible to miss. Pants match the outfit - shoes, Gucci? Balenciaga? Not pretty, but eye-catching?
And yes, the fragrance has to reach everyone. Everyone!
Whether my fellow human beings want it or not. It doesn't matter (at least to many perfumed wearers in the cinema, Fitti or on the train...).
Because(!) - or so they think - I can afford the most blatant and loudest oud, the heaviest fragrance that Mr. Gebauer has in his range or the sweetest temptation, whereas the old Givenchy fragrances look like orphans.
Unfortunately, I find:
There's nothing refined and private about it anymore, like there used to be. When your girlfriend used to say you smelled good (after you got close) and not from 7 meters away.
Safran Musc is also modern (you can tell) and also more potent than fragrances from the 90s or 00s, but it is not annoying or omnipresent in the room.
It has that certain something. Subtlety, beauty, classicism.
It reminds me of the classic leather bag. It's been around forever, but it's still modern. It tops and enhances any modern outfit because it shows that the wearer has class and style. That he knows how to incorporate stylish timelessness into his appearance. That is this fragrance.
An old library. A classic leather armchair. A cool antique desk in the study of my house. Heavy and solid, but timeless and cool in all the new, between Ikea and Co.
Musk, saffron. Above all, the saffron is simply there. The name says it all.
The fragrance accompanies its wearer. It gives them an aura, gets them through the day, whatever they do. But here you wear a (great) fragrance and it is not the fragrance that carries you.
The gentleman (or lady, because every skin is individual, just test it) enters the room and is accompanied by a fine, soft, harmonious, round, slightly(!) sweet and leathery saffron-musk fragrance that underscores the personality of its wearer.
It's not the fragrance that affects the room, but the wearer. That fits, I like that.
Pleasant, no headache. Not too much leather or resin. Just a real signature fragrance that is independent enough to be able to lay claim to it.
Good, experienced label, they should be able to do it and their classics have also been on the market for many years - which speaks for itself.
They have really achieved something great here. The price is really hefty, there are no two opinions. It would be worth it to me, but that's a personal decision.
At the moment, it's already very ambitious; perhaps one or the other online supplier (of the well-known dealers) will be able to come in at a slightly lower price...let's hope so.
