Game abandoned after minute four
Imagine that a perfumer, highly esteemed and equally revered on all sides, sends you an anonymous sample for blind tasting, with a subtle hint of a common fragrance preference. That makes you sit up and take notice and give hope. Well, yeah... yeah, well, ...
Unfortunately, instead of the original flacon, the blind tasting only shows the despicable plastic tube. It's a pity, but it's not, because the bottle is a standard square from the shelf with a simple black stopper. The whole thing is decorated by a simple sticker without any special decoration. An outer box is apparently not offered at all. It's OK, in this small one-man business everything is reduced to the essentials.
The name of the perfume reduces it as well. Yeah, that's the smell of a good espresso. Full coffee aroma. Even if the inclined Italian barista now crosses himself and sends shock prayers to heaven, there was also no skimping on sugar. Yeah, it's that coffee-caramel fusion I love. But if you inhale the scent a little deeper and longer, unfortunately some unpleasant undertones come through. On the one hand, there is a tart rum note with sharp tips, which I don't like at all. There are also other bitter and smoky notes, as if a little water, milk or cream had not all been added to the caramel from time to time, while constantly stirring, but two pounds of sugar were burned on the highest flame for several hours until the pot was white-hot, while the plastic handles melted at the same time.
This is usually followed by a general refurbishment of the kitchen. Since I cannot do this with my nose, I stopped the blind tasting prematurely after less than five minutes and subjected my affected hand to an extensive ritual washing with all kinds of fat-dissolving substances.
Yes, the scent is strong, radiates very well and certainly has an appealing stability. Unfortunately I lack the balance between sweet and rough notes. Nevertheless, I can imagine the scent on both a woman and a man.
Should I now be sorry to my Spezl that he has olfactorically smacked me so badly? No, let's share the love of sweetened coffee and he showed me the somewhat coarser version of this passion. Let him enjoy this. Meanwhile, I'm living it up with Montale's "Intense Cafe" and Kerosenes' "Follow." Yeah, I like them a lot better
