Fantastic "Many-Weather Fragrance" with countless facets

I can't categorize these "Swedish Experiences" anywhere! They belong neither to the Chypres or Fougères, nor to the floral and/or oriental scents. Not even to the woody perfumes or those that are oriented towards "sea breeze." I could still go through several fragrance families along with their subgroups, but none really fits this very powerful scent.
What my nose and my fragrance experience tell me: It is so much in one, very imaginatively combined ingredients, so versatile and almost wondrous, that I would call it "Many in One." So many different associations and moments come together in any weather. The warm aroma of the South through distinct orange, that remains. The fine acidity of a green apple gives fruity freshness. Some "white flowers" evoke a summer mood. Whereas something green-coniferous makes one think of the forest.
Powerful herbal aromas may evoke a lush spring meadow in memory. Some aromatic-dark woods hint at autumn along the way. And mossy-earthy scents remind one of the smells after a winter rain on mild days. Now... even a scent that clearly makes one think of "sea air" can pleasantly confuse me! WHERE am I actually? And if by the sea, in which season? In the north or in the south? Or am I standing in a forest, connected to a damp meadow with a salty inland lake?
I will simply stop asking myself such questions. I will just enjoy a great "everyday" and "many-weather" scent! Fantastic!

I don't know... the first spray reminds me of BR540. Hopefully, it doesn't stay that way 😅

Hey @Minigolf, this scent has been on my Notino wishlist for a while, and after your review, I really want to get it now! It's usually sold out, though. I especially enjoyed your first paragraph where you mentioned that it can't be put in a box; that really increases my desire to buy it. Chameleon trophy for you!
