Hornberger Smelling
I almost wrote of "Hornbacher Riechen", undoubtedly in anticipatory concern in view of the suffix "legnoso" (woody). But that would not be appropriate, we are fortunately spared DIY store wood today. So I'm referring as planned to the proverbial shooting.

Strengthened by the alcohol, the prelude initially appears very aniseed-like, before a more bitter addition turns into an almost animal-like part, streaking the tarry texture, waxy, resinous and honey-like, but not without a tongue-in-cheek liquorice joke. This is a beginning not without courage. However, a little more serenity might have done you good. It seems to me that too much of the powder is already shot up at the front and the rest can't really follow:

Already after about a quarter of an hour a diffuse mustiness has taken possession of the fragrance. More resinous-grown than "legnoso" I find him now. In the course of the morning, a pompous, watery-sugary, almost marzipan-like Tonkaesk sweetness comes to the fore. The other colleagues from the pyramidal data, who are often so pithy elsewhere, have a hard time with it. Soon an almond oil leather care product appearance reminds me of 'Mahon Leather' by Floris from afar, unfortunately without almost exuding its dignified-binding friendliness.

Of course, I cannot deny a certain consequence of the fragrance, because wood is treated after the leather in the late afternoon: A more waxy than amber note mixes with a bitter polish scent of freshly polished wood. All right, accepted. The evening end, on the other hand, with a strangely bitter, limonadic freshness (I think it shows a laboratory framework with ISO and also Ambroxan) and a sweet-watery plastic touch seems a bit miserable to me.

Conclusion: It's a pity that the opulent start was not rolled out further into the depth.

I thank Garcon for the rehearsal.
