"Celluloid Heroes" appeals from the title of a film nerd like me of course massive - to then leave you olfactory but unfortunately quite hang!

A gurkig-defensiv shower gel fragrance, which in my opinion is not even worth a third of its called price. You have to be that honest and strict. Salle Privée can't claim that for something like this. "Celluloid Heroes" has no cinema flair, is not a hero scent, has zero classic or distinguished feel. Rather, it's ultra-modern, watery, citrusy and Moscow Mule'ig. Only in such a transparent and fast fading way that one hardly wants to speak of a full-fledged perfume. It's too little. A musky mule with no expression or character. Not a stinker, not at all. More of a silencer and sheeple, a follower and flag in the wind. A bit sour and green at times. An aquate from the hipster bars of the world - but one that's already on tap at 7pm.

Flacon: is this art or just boring?
Sillage: some shower foam smells stronger
Durability: 5 hours, no desire to overtime

Conclusion: an unexciting and uninspired cucumber freshie between minimalism and banality

I think I'm speechless
Salle Privées Celluloid Heroes is now the third fragrance, with which I am now engaged and so slowly fades my hope for the self-proclaimed House of Design.

It is honestly a mystery to me, how you can firstly throw such an uninspired fragrance on the market and then still, to push it to the extreme, to offer it at such a ridiculously high price feil. Like other contenders from the house, a majority of the fragrance notes blur into a boring and unidentifiable mishmash. The combination of a very synthetic citrus opening, orange blossom and musk makes Celluloid Heroes feel like a cheap aftershave from days gone by. The amber-sandalwood base does nothing to remedy this either. Also, I would bet that in a blind test between this copy and a drugstore fragrance in a similar composition, you would probably perceive the second as more successful.

More time I do not want to rob you at this point. Except that I am speechless about such a product placement, there is nothing more to say from my side.

News from the cucumber squad
I have a great weakness for cucumber lemonade. Just today, during the weekend summer retreat with Frau von Spee in what is now Polish Lower Silesia, I drank an excellent homemade one, with bits of real cucumber, at the (highly recommended) Zielony Piec (Green Oven) Inn in Lesna (just near Czocha Castle). The top note of this fragrance offers a similarly original sensory experience: the unusual combination of lemony-sour, lime-sweet and vegetable-green (just cucumber) notes.

However, already in this interesting entrance phase, the disaster is looming. This cucumber lemonade is from the beginning a touch too sweet, and that is the harbinger of a juvenile stickiness progressive in the further course. In addition, even at this early stage an aromachemical fog of horror penetrates through the gap between floor and door, viscous clouds of a diffuse shower-dasoid and axeal ambroxan, which will soon mercilessly suffocate any life creamy-"fresh". If still once in a while an original fragrance note like that of fennel seeds, the head, it is ironed down in no time.

In this main phase, Celluloid Heroes seems to me like an awkwardly executed paraphrase or parody of creamy blue men's fragrances of the type Bleu de Chanel or Sauvage by Dior (a direction that does not appeal to me anyway). Overall: No organic progression, but partly good (but only sketchily executed), partly boring (and poorly implemented in terms of craftsmanship) fragrance ideas pasted together desolately.

It's only 3 kilometers from Lesna to the Czech border (the nearest major town there is Friedland, Wallenstein's retirement home), and that makes me think of perhaps the least-known work by the great, clear-eyed, humanist Czech novelist of the interwar period Karel Capek: Life and Work of Foltyn the Composer. It's about a composer who is considered mediocre at best, but who occasionally has brilliant outbursts. In the course of the novel, it emerges that he is in himself a flawless nonentity; his supposedly better or even good works (or parts of them, such as movements of a concerto or a symphony) had all been stolen, especially by students dependent on him.

The naming is again nonsensical and 100% reality-free. What "screen hero" is supposed to go with this fragrance? Clark Gable? Humphrey Bogart? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Woody Allen? E.T.?

Even after 4 of 6 tested private chambers, I still could not find an independent, original fragrance, a successful perfume and still no organic, plausible fragrance development. Meanwhile, the brand annoys me sustainably.
