#S Nasengold 2013

In search of a new summer fragrance alongside my Virgin Island Water from Creed, I was strongly torn between Aventus by Creed and #S by Nasengold.
Aventus by Creed has been on my wish list for a long time, but somehow the decisive spark was always missing.
When I tried #S, I was immediately surprised and in a good mood.

At first, I was reminded of sour fizzy sticks, or homemade sour lemonade. Sparkling, zesty, and refreshing.
After the fizzy sticks, there’s a Radler (or an Alsterwasser as we say here ;)), while the lady next to me prefers to drink a white wine spritzer.
The rose also occasionally wafts up a little, as if one were sitting in a beer garden (with their Radler and white wine spritzer) and now and then a breeze from a rose hedge drifts by.
I am very glad that the wine yeast never becomes unpleasant. I know that from the yeast factory in Hamburg-Wandsbek. When I had to work nearby and the wind was blowing the wrong way, the day was already ruined and I felt nauseous.
Cardamom, pepper, and ginger give it a certain spiciness, without which it would probably smell like sugar water.

The fragrance pyramid also mentions Iso-E-super. I must admit that I have not even begun to understand this molecule, but maybe it is responsible for the 'cold', 'sterile-clean' scent that sometimes resonates with me.

Anyone looking for a new summer fragrance is most likely hitting the jackpot with this one. Unlike Virgin Island Water, which rather inspires dreams of the South Seas, #S immediately brings good mood in the here and now, and you would love to run through the whole city and do somersaults.

By the way, the company address of Nasengold is only 7 km away from me. I wonder how Mr. Plesch feels when he encounters someone on the street in Hamburg wearing his fragrance.

In my opinion, the scent is something for creative, somewhat quirky, adventurous younger people.
However, an older gentleman took the fragrance before me... maybe it suits him very well too?
Since the bottle is transparent, it will probably stay in the box to avoid sun exposure.
I find it a pity that it doesn’t have a cap.
All in all, I can only say that I am very happy to have found my summer fragrance.

Maybe there will be one :P for autumn, on the test strip it’s very interesting, let’s see how it develops on the skin.

Addendum: I am still having a bit of trouble with the longevity. It may be partly due to the current temperatures.
What I notice, however, is that the scent occasionally 'comes back to life'
at first, you think it’s almost gone, and then you perceive it more intensely again.
Very interesting overall.
