It is a pleasant July morning, the sun is already emitting fine heat waves through the still somewhat scattered cloudy sky.
Even from several meters away, I catch a very familiar scent - and I can even hear it.
There’s a slightly dusty, sandy note, along with a subtly sweet fecal hint and the recurring sound of the excavator's exhaust.
Just 3...4 steps to reach the end of the road, and suddenly I find myself right in the middle:
Construction site!
"The diligent construction workers; the correct designation is unknown to me, but probably something with 'manager' in the job title, have prepared everything, and of course I suddenly find myself in front of a sea of these white-red striped plastic roadblocks."
The excavator is also turned off for this phenomenal moment - absolute silence.
A very extremely dense, slightly smoky biting, balsamic sweet, dirty scent still lingers in the air.
The clouds have completely cleared, revealing a radiant blue sky and allowing the sun to showcase its full potential...
The pouring can now commence:
A crackling, swirling, intensely voluminous, very smoothly appearing tar-like scent is now noticeable.
Extremely thick and viscous, sweetly sticky, extremely dark rubbery, black leathery bitter, it surprisingly rolls its way very delicately.
As the tar, which glitters matte in the sunlight, spreads, small, medium, and even large air bubbles can be seen in the mass, which are directly buried and simultaneously renewed by the next new surge.
A few hours later, the road construction is completed.
The new road has been smoothed out and is now completely cooled down, receiving a very delicate, resinous balsamic touch to the leathery bitter scent finale.
*Indian spikenard, caramel, and labdanum were unfortunately rejected by my paleocortex.
Overall, the scent lasts 10 hours on my skin.
The sillage is designed to be clearly 1.5 meters for 2 hours and a very distinct whole arm's length for 3 hours, before it gradually reduces to the scent's conclusion.
"Shamus, I sincerely thank you for the generous sample!"
You definitely need to try Alpha by G-Parfums. I had that association too. Managers are usually less often outside on the construction site. It's more the foremen and occasionally a site manager ;)
Is it suitable for everyday wear?
