So much hype around this scent left me cold, and I absolutely had to test it.
So I got a sample to be able to join the conversation.
I met with a Turkish friend for the "unboxing."
During the opening, he looked at me and said... "it smells just like Turkish aftershave from the barbershop!"
I was shocked... Turkish aftershave?
The opening doesn’t last long... immediately the jasmine comes into play and harmonizes with the citrus fruits.
I find it initially zesty like a citrus sorbet!
The woods make it creamy. This scent then also stays on the skin.
I find it perfect for spring and the first warmer summer days. I’m curious how it performs at over 30°C.
It wasn’t love at first sight. I took two days to warm up to the scent.
Unfortunately, I am totally undecided about whether to spend the money to buy a full bottle.
By now, I’ve had it on my skin for four consecutive days and find the scent really beautiful and pleasant.
The longevity is unfortunately absolutely terrible.
Is it olfactory blindness? I don’t think so, because even after two hours the scent is no longer perceived. And not just by me, but also by outsiders.
With my sample in my pocket, I currently spray a bit every three hours.
Will this make me happy in the long run? I don’t know yet.
