gum mint

Love at first sniff, also thanks to the ridiculously low price
It immediately reminded me of the classic Brooklyns those mint chewing gums super fresh with that balsamic touch and a really pleasant powdery undertone.

the oud and other listed notes? Honestly, almost nonexistent. Here, fresh, clean, simple vibes dominate.

Performance is more than decent: 5–6 hours easily. Of course, for €20–25 you can’t expect a bomb that lasts for days, but it does its job without any problems.

For the Glacier Crevice

A few years ago, I drove up to the Kaunertal Glacier in the summer. During this drive, I first encountered green meadows with various mountain flowers and gnarled conifers, then the vegetation became increasingly sparse, and ultimately only rock, rubble, as well as ice and snow remained. Moreover, the air was incredibly fresh and clear. I had imagined Oud Glacial to be such a high alpine scent journey - why not, with a name like that?

Therefore, I dared to make a blind purchase; the listed fragrance notes promised no disaster. I was particularly curious about the combination of almond, mint, and oud. I would certainly outright deny the existence of almond, or the cold breath of mint has already flattened the necessary receptors in my scent center.

In any case, there is initially nothing beautiful, pure, floral, or even pleasant. Later, actually, not much changes, but at least the scent becomes inconsequential.

Unfortunately, I must once again bring up a GDR cleaning product for comparison. This time, it reminds me of the emanations from linoleum floors in polyclinics that have just been treated with a disinfectant or, in any case, a chemical weapon. It has something biting about it, where you have to force yourself to even inhale. If you dare to smell it again shortly thereafter, it reminds you of a freshly broken plant stem that exudes something very green-herbaceous, but you have the feeling that the plant is somehow toxic and causes a rash if you touch it.

As the scent develops further, it gives the impression that you have stored this plant stem in Aunt Hilde's old handbag, where, alongside her lace-trimmed handkerchief, there is also a bag of stuck-together ice candies basically at the bottom.

When the worst has passed, that is, after an hour, it smells like the sun-tanned older gentleman who is still spry enough to consider himself athletic but has obviously long lost his former sprightliness. Like this gentleman after sports, mind you: somewhat herb-woody, a bit limp, and reminiscent of a cheap sports deodorant.

Any similarities with living persons are purely coincidental and not meant to be derogatory.

The longevity is okay, and thankfully the sillage is not overwhelming. The bottle (30 ml) is uninspired or appropriately reflects the supposed clarity of the scent. However, the truly inexpensive sticker on the bottle is a joke.

I definitely do not see this scent on a lady, and certainly not on myself. Therefore, it could safely be disposed of in a glacier crevice.

Seemingly Opposing Elements Skillfully Presented.

Dear perfume community,

as a previously "anonymous" reader, you have not only provided me with many inspirations in recent weeks but have also entertained me wonderfully with your comments and descriptions. I fondly remember the unique homage by "Reiser" to Kouros - Eau de Toilette or the extremely sensitive little novella "Edmond" by community member "Siebenkäs" about Dior's Eau Sauvage. The latter could hardly be written more skillfully.

So: Perhaps it is time for me to contribute something to your entertainment.

Since everything from the usual suspects in my collection has already been written about by well-read authors, I will dedicate my first comment to a manufacturer that is less in the spotlight here. Perhaps because it is not or only rarely found in brick-and-mortar retail in Germany. I am talking about Reminiscence and specifically about their "Oud Glacial".

I was first confronted with Reminiscence during a visit to Geneva when I was looking for a little something for my better half. In a side street of the pedestrian zone in Geneva, there is a boutique that offers very pretty and high-quality fashion jewelry from this company. Both the jewelry and accessories, as well as their fragrance range, were completely unknown to me until then. After quickly finding a suitable souvenir, I turned my attention to the fragrance offerings of the boutique, which were presented to me with great passion by the shop owner. At that time, I already found several things from Reminiscence's fragrance range remarkable, although my nose was quickly overwhelmed on that warm summer day, and I couldn't bring myself to purchase anything specific.

Back in Germany, I quickly realized that the fragrances from Reminiscence were not to be found, even in well-stocked specialty stores. I then had my purchasing premiere, so to speak, with Reminiscence Oud, which I happily rediscovered at Globus in Zurich and immediately bought. I personally consider Reminiscence Oud to be one of the best-composed oud fragrances, and I might indulge it with a few more lines here.
I was even more pleased when "Oud Glacial" appeared on my radar in 2019. Ordered online at a true bargain price, I was curious about what to expect from the combination of mint, lily of the valley, and oud.

Indeed, it is precisely this triad that primarily characterizes this agarwood representative. Immediately after spraying, it is the mint that almost comes across as too dominant at first, but its intensity quickly fades. At this point, the lily of the valley comes into play, showing a noticeable presence throughout the entire fragrance journey, accompanied by a skillfully composed base of oud, patchouli, and musk. Each of the last three representatives can decide the "victory or defeat" on their own, as can an excess of lily of the valley. However, this combination is cleverly balanced here and, particularly in the dry down, along with a refined rose, feels extremely pleasant to me. After a few hours, a relatively unique combination of lily of the valley, oud, musk, and patchouli is primarily perceptible. Notably, the agarwood only "knocks gently at the door" and "never enters," as one might know from many other oud fragrances.

The sillage is generally above average and, like the longevity, depends heavily on the dosage with this Eau de Parfum. I would not recommend too much; otherwise, the fragrance can easily become "strenuous" for both the wearer and the environment. 2 to 3 sprays are fine and are still distinctly noticeable on my skin after 7 to 8 hours.

Who is the fragrance suitable for? For all lovers of oud who want to try a new interpretation of this ingredient and are not put off by the floral elements of the composition. Additionally, I would tend to place it slightly more towards the ladies, who have often responded with "Oh, you smell good." A blind purchase? Almost, considering the prices that are being asked online for this Eau de Parfum.
