The "perfection" / An explicit test recommendation / My new discovery 2024
Hello everyone,
we've now reached my 300 (!) review and I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thanks for the response, the feedback and co. !
I recently bought a bottle of Harrods pour Homme as always BLIND and why exactly? On the one hand because of the bottle, the exciting fragrance pyramid and yes ... possibly also because of the exclusivity and the fact that it is quite rare here....
In retrospect, it was a very, very good thing!
The thing is with Roja about the bottle, the lid, sprayer and the OVP to REDEN, yes you can do - some say "kitschy", others just think it's good. I'm more in the 2 category.
I'll say it right at the beginning, because there will be some who say things like "too expensive", "kitschy", "overhyped" etc. and I'll say it openly and honestly as always - YES I can understand everyone who thinks that way. But the manufacturer (of the niche world) sets the prices and it's a question of buy or not. Nobody forces us (fortunately) to buy a product ;) . That's why I find the statement rather tedious, unless (!) the price - performance factor doesn't fit at all, then I'm someone who also communicates this, as for example in my recent review of Perseus ....
However, this is purely about the Harrods pour Homme!
In itself, it is a citrusy, creamy, lavender fragrance with noticeable green, spicy and woody phases. However, this brief description does not even begin to do it justice, because it is so much more!
It covers every single area that I like very much!
In the top note citrus in very high quality (edible citrus basket) with soft creamy aspects, a lavender in absolute perfection (which in combination almost looks like fougere), then this ultra complex area of oakmoss, with 1.2 spicy notes and the noticeable woody moments with cashmere wood and finally a vetiver that even I love 100% ... create a beautiful fragrance at the end of the day!
My 3 all-time favorites in the signature section are:
1st place: Reflection 45 or Reflection Man (partly because of my wedding
+ it was my first niche fragrance in 2012)
2nd place: "17/17 - Richwood | XerJoff"
3rd place: Harrods pour Homme
In an extremely short time became one of my biggest favorites - really. Therefore my test - recommendation - please!
About the H/S:
So it already accompanies you its 9h to 10h, that's why I give it an 8.5 ;)
The sillage is a little quieter after 2h to 3h, but I like this point - why?
I have a lot of "breakers" and I simply can't wear those fragrances on certain occasions because they are too potent and too penetrating for most people. Many of us celebrate such things and I'll be honest, I also like it when my fragrance is strong (making a statement, getting noticed, etc.), but there are also moments, such as in the car, train, airplane, etc., where you can't wear something like "Neat! where you shouldn't wear something like Nefs, Mana, Hacivat Oud or my old Amber Star or my "beastly 21's" Tony Iommi Monkey Special, but something discreet, elegant and extremely chic and that's where I think the Harrods pour Homme comes into its own
It is an incredibly friendly, pleasant and well-groomed fragrance for a gentleman who has already seen and experienced something. In other words, I wouldn't recommend it to an 18-year-old. But from 25 or 30 it's fine. Roja fragrances often have this grown-up vibe, which Harrods pour Homme almost doesn't.
By the way, it is incredibly well received and the ladies so far (20 - 66) have found it very, very good.
If I really wasn't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
