Quite a bumpy start followed by a great sweet depth
The 1970: Tonka, Expansion, Glamour is a really great gourmand overall, which has something special about it.
It has a special depth, is elegant and simply smells good. Difficult to describe more precisely.
However, there is one thing that really bothers me and that would be the opening or the top note in general. Let's move on to the course of the fragrance..
The fragrance gets off to a difficult start. Initially, citric and fruity elements come into play. But the whole thing immediately has this spicy and slightly earthy background.
This mix seems somehow unrounded to me and just smells strange.
I even somehow, for whatever reason, had associations with cucumber water/pickled cucumbers.
That sounds very strange and yes, it is. My girlfriend, for example, doesn't see it that way at all, but my nose just goes crazy with this top note.
I've been testing this fragrance back and forth for a long time, but I keep getting the same vibes :D
Over time, after about 15-20 minutes for me, the fragrance becomes much more pleasant. The citric elements are gone and the fragrance gains more and more warm spices, pleasant earthy notes and chocolaty impressions. The fragrance gradually gains a certain depth here.
It smells simply great, serious and elegant.
It then becomes pleasantly woody, more vanilla, the tonka bean enters and towards the end we have this musk-amber mix. Although amber is already making its rounds here shortly beforehand and is totally elegant.
The performance is quite good.
It lasts for 8 hours on me and the sillage is also okay, although somewhat weaker than the longevity itself.
Unfortunately, I can't give more than 8 points for the DNA due to the top note.
I had even considered giving it 7.5 due to the top note, which I don't like at all.
However, due to the progression of the fragrance, it ended up being an 8 because it just gets so super nice over time.
