The top note must be endured...
… because it is truly not for mainstream fans or sweater wearers. This was, however, not necessarily to be expected given the year of release…
About the house: I had to do some extensive research on “Nicky Chini”: Well, I initially found a manufacturer of hair care products and was confirmed by the accompanying product sheet, which lists not only EdC, AS, and deodorant but also items like “Hair Cream” and even “Hair Spray.” How wonderful is that? Additionally, Nicky Chini was/is also a tie manufacturer from Milan, after which the Nicky knot is named.
According to our database, Barrage was the only men’s fragrance from this house. 1955? Italy? My hunting instinct was immediately awakened, and I had to get this scent…
It definitely requires a bit of patience and experience. Those who have survived the extremely barbershop-like top note will then discover fruity, herb-floral facets, with a bit of wood and spice added. All of this is, of course, completely natural and wonderfully old-fashioned, yet not really “dated.” This is especially true because ubiquitous ingredients like eucalyptus and menthol are absent or hardly penetrate my nose.
Therefore, a scent that, in my opinion, just crosses the line into “still wearable today,” but is primarily likely to be of interest to perfume historians.
