Hiding is pointless

The best camouflage clothing is of no use if you smell like synthetic, sour, spicy manure from meters away. Okay, I am being overly strict here; "To Be - Camouflage | Police" isn't that bad after all. But this terrible synthetic scent, this wannabe freshness that instead pinches unpleasantly in the nose, is simply not nice. Can the skull be used anywhere? In my opinion, no. At most in business, if you want to leave a scent trail - no matter how dreadful it may be.
You can twist and turn it any way you want, Police has not succeeded in creating a good fragrance with "To Be - Camouflage | Police".

However, the performance is remarkable: As mentioned above, the sillage is really good, lasting for 3 hours. Overall, the scent radiates for a little more than 7 hours. For the price, you certainly can't complain.
The skull bottle of the To Be series is more than just a matter of taste. However, in this variant, it just looks cheap and silly. For this reason alone, I wouldn't place the fragrance in my cabinet.

He once had a shower gel

Family tester M says he once had a shower gel. I asked if it was good, the shower gel. And he said: "I think it was good."

At first, To Be - Camouflage smells like apple on me at 31.5°C. Red-green... all the same mixed bunch. In other words, this perfume is not really made from nature. And the "exact" scent descriptions stem from the chemist's imagination. I can hardly identify or name any other scent notes besides the apple. It smells green, fresh, fruity, and also a bit synthetic, which doesn't bother me too much.

After about a quarter of an hour, the scent becomes sweeter and softer. Spices come to the forefront. Cinnamon is noticeable. Now the amber also becomes stronger, which I already perceive subtly in the top note. I wouldn't know how the sun smells. Maybe it's supposed to smell like sun on the skin? Family tester M doesn't know what that's about either. We still smell the apple, and now it has cinnamon with it. Compote, basically. But compote that you can't eat. Compote in an art exhibition, perhaps. Does the target audience of Police go to art exhibitions? Do I have prejudices against young, hip people? Of course!

A little violet is now sneaking into the picture. Not one that the consumer would give to the namer of the scent notes (marketing department), but a little flower. The amber is still getting stronger and eventually makes a pretty definite appearance.

That these scent descriptions are nonsense has probably been understood by the people handling the official website of Police. There, the perfume is described as Fougère-woody. And the solar and ozone nonsense is not mentioned. I wouldn't have thought of Fougère on my own, but theoretically, the description fits. If it becomes woody now. I: "Do you smell wood?" M huffs and says: "No wood that I know."

Projection is okay. You have a small green apple cinnamon cloud around you. I find the scent quite nice, especially for the price. But you have to be okay with the amber. I wouldn't wear it at work (too dirty, I'm a nurse, we always have to be clinically clean) and for going out, it would be too unspectacular. In summer, it's fine, and I can also imagine it in other seasons.

I can't really imagine it on younger women. Although it is a men's perfume, I can best imagine it on older women, which might be because it is on me - an older woman - and I don't need any special imagination to conjure up the current state.

I find the bottle really cute. I also have clothes with skull motifs. Yes, seriously. These colorful skull bottles always remind me of the Día de Muertos, a Mexican holiday that some probably know from one of the James Bond films with Daniel Craig. During Día de Muertos, people dress up as colorful skeletons, go to the cemetery, and decorate the graves. There are skull-shaped colorful sweets called Calavera and bread called Pan de muerto with bone-shaped decor. There is dancing and celebrating. A friend of mine experienced Día de Muertos in Mexico and took great photos. In this context, I generally like the To Be bottles, although I have to admit that they don't exactly seem high-quality.

Now I've been writing here for hours, Tonka has appeared but the wood still hasn't arrived. It won't be coming anymore.
