L'Eau à la Folie Nicolaï 2012

L'Eau à la Folie, a summer
Over hill and dale, my shoes in hand
warm wind in my face over meadows, I want to go home.
Blooming the bushes, herbs so fine,
my gaze in the sun drives me on.
You feel the heartbeat in your throat on the way
it won't take long, I'm almost there.
I already see the water, the sea glistens in the light,
citrus trees by the wall, the spray is high.
Finally cooler, the breeze, I’ll jump right in..
here from the wall, finally home :D:D:D
A wonderful cologne, not conventional, I would rather say an Eau de Toilette
with the longevity of a cologne.
Citrusy, limey, minty, the beginning is a beautifully fizzy experience, a shudder
of the nostrils…a sneeze, a smile, oh life is beautiful.
No neroli in sight :) ))
In the middle, a mix of mango and white flowers, the freshness
completely fades here, it becomes soft, floral, and very tropical, heliotropic
fruit salad, mango-papaya on jasmine…a quirky and very skillful blend!
Once again, the scent transforms, showing in the base a wonderful mossy coolness,
moist, slightly sweet, very clear, and very elegant.
I would cheekily label it as “Cologne -Chypre” ;-) A bit like Caipirinha too.
I must say, I am more than thrilled with Folie.
The Nicolai fragrances are characterized in most cases by a great density
and very good longevity. For a cologne, at a price of 86 euros for
100ml, you have a very special, quirky summer scent that
stands out clearly from other colognes.
The scent development happens quickly, the heart note lasts about 2 hours.
The whole walk lasts 3 hours :) diligent re-spraying is encouraged!
I sense a slight resemblance to Acqua Viva by Profumum Roma.
But Viva lasts the whole summer day.
Absolutely unisex and not sexy…my 12-year-old son is also totally into the scent :D
Well, maybe a bit sexy too ;)….
