Masterly dull mixture with cow stall note
I am a nature lover and enthusiastic hiker. Very often scramble around in the Black Forest. Now I do a tour with Robert Piguets Oud fragrance:
Reduced to dwarf size, I roam through the deepest undergrowth in the dark in drizzle. Where ancient pine needles and mouldy leaves merge into the damp soil, I look for my path through fungus and moss. In front of me and behind me scurry isopods and centipedes. Down here in this dull soil humidity you can smell almost nothing of the fragrant green note of fresh fir needles. Suddenly the deep undergrowth opens, a lonely old Black Forest farm rests on a clearing. Through its open stable windows, a warm cowshed smell wafts into the humidity all around.
In the fragrance description "Tannenbalsam" is highlighted. But in this forest scent I miss a balsamic flattery like I feel in another forest scent, "He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood" by Dsquared. I'd rather smell it.
I know the perfume is highly rated here. My opinion is a minority opinion.
Now I'm in a rating dilemma. The fragrance is certainly a complex masterpiece, but I don't want to wear it. For the composition I would give 9, according to my personal taste 5. Tastes are not to be objectified. Some love spaetzle, others dumplings and third fries. Who's right?
The durability is almost unsurpassed. The Sillage is also very good.

Orange grove on the Mediterranean beach
When my wife wears Prodigieux, I immediately remember our frequent visits to Turkish friends in the most beautiful village in Turkey: the friends live in Cirali, which is located within orange groves directly on the Mediterranean...
