For the crevasse
A few years ago I drove up to the Kaunertal Glacier in summer. During this trip I first encountered green meadows with various mountain flowers and gnarled conifers, then the vegetation became more and more sparse and finally only rock, scree and ice and snow remained. Also, the air was eerily fresh and clear. Under Oud Glacial I had imagined such a high alpine scent journey - why not, with that name?

Therefore, I dared the blind purchase, the listed fragrance notes also promised no disaster. Especially on the mixture of almond, mint and oud I was curious. The existence of almond I would in any case flatly deny or the cold breath of mint has already flattened the necessary receptors in my fragrance center.

Anyway, at first there is nothing beautiful, pure, floral or even pleasing. Later, actually, also not, but there the fragrance is at least inconsequential.

Unfortunately, I have to once again use a GDR cleaner for comparison. This time it reminds me of the vapors of the linoleum floors in polyclinics, which were freshly treated with a disinfectant or in any case a chemical club. So there is something acrid about it that you have to overcome yourself to inhale at all. If you dare to smell it again a short time later, it reminds you of a freshly broken plant stalk that gives off something very green-herbaceous, but you feel like the plant is somehow poisonous and causes a rash if you touch it.

As the fragrance continues, it gives the impression that this plant stalk has been stored in Aunt Hilde's old handbag, where, in addition to her crochet-tipped handkerchief, there is also a bag of ice candies stuck together, so to speak, in the dregs.

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 since lost his former effervescence. Like this gentleman after sports, mind you: a little tart-woody, a little floppy, and like a cheap sports deodorant.

Any similarities to people still alive are purely coincidental and not meant to be derogatory.

The durability is ok, the sillage is thankfully not outstanding. The bottle (30 ml) is unimaginative or appropriate to the supposed clarity of the fragrance. The really cheap sticker on the bottle, on the other hand, is a joke.

I also definitely don't see the fragrance on a lady, certainly not on me. Therefore, you could safely dispose of him in a crevasse

Supposed opposites skillfully staged.
Dear perfume community,

as a hitherto "anonymous" reader, you have not only given me many suggestions in the past weeks, but also entertained me with your comments and descriptions. So I remember with great pleasure the - in my opinion - unique homage from "Reiser" to Kouros - Eau de Toilette or the extremely subtle little novella "Edmond" by community member "Siebenkäs", to Dior's Eau Sauvage. The latter could hardly be written more skilfully.

So: Maybe it's time to contribute to your own entertainment.

Since to the usual suspects of my collection everything here was already written from a well-read pen, I dedicate my first comment to a manufacturer, who is rather less in the center of attention here. Maybe because he is not or only rarely found in the stationary trade in Germany. It is about Reminiscence and specifically about their "Oud Glacial".

I was confronted with Reminiscence for the first time 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 of Geneva there is a boutique that offers very nice and high quality costume jewellery of this company. Both jewellery and accessories, as well as their range of fragrances, were completely unknown to me until then. After quickly finding something to take home, I turned to the boutique's range of fragrances, which were presented to me with great passion by the owner of the shop. At that time, I already found some of the Reminiscence fragrances remarkable, although my nose was quickly overwhelmed on this warm summer's day and I couldn't bring myself to buy anything in particular.

Back in Germany, I quickly had to realize that the fragrances from Reminiscence were not to be found, even in well-assorted specialist shops. I then celebrated my purchase premiere with Reminiscence Oud, so to speak, which I rediscovered at the Globus in Zurich and purchased immediately. I personally consider Reminiscence Oud to be one of the best composed oud fragrances, which I will perhaps allow a few more lines here.
So I was all the more pleased when "Oud Glacial" just appeared on my radar in 2019. Ordered online at a real bargain price, I was curious what to expect in the combination of mint, lily of the valley and oud.

In fact, it is exactly this triad for which this Adlerholz representative primarily stands. Immediately after spraying it is the mint, which comes into the foreground almost too dominant, but then quickly flattens out in terms of intensity. At this point, the lily of the valley comes into play, showing a perceptible presence throughout the entire fragrance, and is joined by a skilfully composed base of oud, patchouli and musk. All three of the latter three representatives can each decide for themselves, as well as too much lily of the valley, on "victory or defeat". In fact, this combination here is cleverly coordinated and, especially in the drydown, together with a cleverly added rose, it looks extremely pleasant to me. After a few hours of constant perception, the first thing you notice is a relatively unique combination of lily of the valley, oud, musk and patchouli. Whereby especially the eagle wood only "knocks discreetly on the door" and this "never enters", as one knows it from many other oud fragrances.

The silage tends to be above average and, like the shelf life of this eau of perfume, depends very much on the dosage. I would not recommend too much, then the fragrance can easily be "exhausting" for the wearer and the environment. 2 to 3 sprays are o.k. and on my skin after 7 to 8 hours still clearly perceptible.

For whom is the fragrance suitable? For all oud lovers who want to try a new interpretation of this ingredient and who are not afraid of the floral elements of the recipe. In addition, I would tend to place it a tad more in the direction of the ladies, who have so far quite often reacted with an "Oh, but you smell good". A blind purchase? Almost, if you think about the prices that are called online for this eau de parfum.
