The Globe moves mountains
... doubt is climbing them. I think the slightly modified quote fits quite well, because Globe by Rochas doesn't make it quite so easy. He's getting off absolutely fine here and I have a huge heart for vintage scents. But at the beginning it is too much 90s for me and therefore from an olfactory epoch, which in contrast to the 70s and 80s puts me less in euphoria.
One reason for this is that Globe plays too much with artificial approaches and thus reminds us a bit of shower gel. Yes, there was the ultra-violent word again, but that was the first thing that came to my mind when I took a sniff, although I had promised myself much more.
Globe initially opens fresh and spicy, with a somewhat simple soap note and minimal citric twitches. The fragrance then moves more into the floral-coniferous area, with a slight warmth but lacking in sophistication.
After a good hour, Globe becomes a little more interesting, because it reveals some facets between restrained animalism and timid powderiness - almost like a little journey with some interesting and less interesting stops in between.
At the summit of the trip you will reach a pleasantly balanced and valuable mixture of fir, patchouli and sandalwood. Wonderful - why not like this? One was almost inclined to give up early and miss the climax. So Globe has just gotten a good turn, even if the fir-like shower gel vibe of the 90s plays a role that is too intense for my taste.
In contrast, the distinctive limited edition flacon with the metal frame is 100 percent successful from the outset. He had something!
