La bestia bionda?
I don't know how the superman (invented by Nietzsche), who is called "Superuomo" in the Italian translation, smells. Since the philosopher with the impressive moustache also spoke of the "blonde beast" in this context, however, we may suspect a strictly Animalist ordeur, possibly drowned out by the precious scents that he forcibly stole from the herd men who had become decadent through slave morals and generously poured himself over the blonde master's head
This fragrance definitely smells different. And it doesn't smell (at least in the beginning) like the fragrance pyramid would have it. One adjusts oneself here to an explosion of citric freshness, additionally pepped up by the red pepper. Instead, there is still an overhead-head above the head here, that smells most peculiarly, at any rate however not tangy, anyway. My first thought was "pencil graphite", then I actually think of wax, yes the scent is so waxy that (unliedly) I directly feel a dull feeling in my throat, as if liquid candle wax had been poured on it, which has now cooled down there. Then there is also a slight tingling sensation, which is less peppery and not at all citric, but rather reminiscent of champagne (or perhaps Selters). The whole thing seems distinctly distinguished, distinguished, fine, like an extremely well-groomed, even extremely refined aristocratic gentleman with gloves and walking stick.
Only after that does this not unpleasant, but nevertheless highly unconventional, as it were "nischige" fragrance then take off into more familiar waters and something like a familiar fragrance pyramid develops, first an almost "normal" (withdrawn) citric phase, then a warm-sweet-spicy-full phase, and then, again somewhat unexpectedly, a kind of "lower base", which I encounter herbaceously, almost fruity, and once again more tangy and citric.
The fragrance has a good, but at least good shelf life, but only moderate sillage, which further underlines the impression of distinguished restraint.
I don't want to wear the fragrance, because this very distinguished initial phase seems too refined to me personally. In the waxy note I occasionally mean to suspect the "waxy skin colour" (as a sign of poor health) or even the waxy death mask, which opens associations of powerlessness and decay, which I do not necessarily appreciate with a worn scent. There would have been for me clearly more of vitality bursting "Übermensch" desirable.
