Finest nibbles - even for real guys!
Although I count myself as a sweet tooth, pardon, - beak, I notice again and again that sugar and sweetness in fragrances increasingly take the upper hand. With the ladies as well as with the men. While the girls are increasingly sinking into powder, cotton candy and fruit salad, the men's scents are mostly vanilla and tonka. Occasionally and with appropriately adjusted dosage I let myself like that yes still, but the sweets have increased for my personal taste mainly in the men's perfumery so strongly that I do not enjoy it slowly any more so properly.
As men write, they love and wear Sorriso by Profumum Roma. Sorriso I myself like to wear in sub-zero temperatures. To a real guy, however, that does not want to fit for my nose so at all.
Maybe it's because I was born in the seventies? Since men simply still smelled like a man and therefore usually dark, leathery, sometimes smoky and often a little dirty or animalistic. Sweet was not yet announced at that time, that came only with Joop Homme. And exactly such a scent of man I miss today sometimes, when I sniff me so through the current men's perfumery.
Not so with Bornéo 1834 by Serge Lutens. Yes, this fragrance also has with its very fine and delicate patchouli hints of sweet tooth, but the whole remains in the fragrance image rather dark, resinous and - if you will - also masculine. The cocoa note blends with the earthy patchouli so expertly that it makes me think of the finest dark chocolate. 70% cocoa or more. This is delicious, but not at all too sweet for my nose. I would also wear myself, but really magical I would find this fragrance on a man.
With cardamom Bornéo 1834 brings another note into play, which I - especially on men - always found very tempting. Galbanum, labdanum and camphor (which I fortunately do not clearly smell out), still bring greenery into play and the white flowers at the end perhaps a teeny bit of sweetness. But no, no gourmand sweetness.
If my husband or a dear friend of mine would have the compelling need to want to smell like treats, then my recommendation would go quite clearly in the direction of Bornéo 1843. Could also imagine that the with my Douce Amère, which is admittedly again a bit sweeter, quite fine harmonizes.
Very dear thanks to Bastian for the test opportunity.
