This One's for You
If I count my inactive reading time here, I've been on this platform for about six years. Six years during which I've tested hundreds of perfumes. Six years in which a collection, yes, a certain preference for specific scents and fragrance directions has crystallized.
Six years in which I've also appreciated certain users. Or users who at least represented a different opinion that doesn't always conform to the mass taste. Who still remembers HaraldK? The ultimate opponent of any sweetness in fragrances (by the way, he would hate Layton). Or Catch22? The critic par excellence. The one whose intertwined, poetically questionable reviews were fundamentally anti. Or Sarungal? JetonToni? Loewenherz? It would be terrible if this platform were to lose more heroes like FabianO, Yatagan, DonJuan, or Leimbacher.
André, I still remember your words to me about this scent: “You won’t like it.” Well, I just wanted to be part of the conversation. And no, you weren't entirely right: I actually think it’s quite good. Sweet-fruity-spicy is not really my fragrance direction. But this one appeals to me. The sweetness doesn’t overwhelm you. Thank goodness the fruitiness of the apple is kept in check. Pepper and rose are very noticeable to me. Overall, it’s truly a well-balanced fragrance that fits wonderfully into the cold season and could also appeal to those who usually prefer other fragrance directions. The longevity and sillage are enormous. And by the way, I don’t see any similarities to Boss Bottled, and I find the current rating of 8.7 to be too high.
Schoork, my dear, I will miss you here on this platform. Your comments were different and usually made one laugh, without forgetting the actual description of the fragrance. I don’t know what prompted your withdrawal, and I don’t want to speculate about it. You must have had your reasons. I’m glad to have made your acquaintance.
Best regards

I also think it's a shame that so many formerly active perfume enthusiasts have gone silent or are no longer around. Those with a few quirks really made the forum more vibrant.
I miss André. It's great that you remember him.
Oh, and I personally don't get along with the house of deMarly; no scent has been able to convince me...
