Yes, there are parallels, but it still follows its own path! I like it!
Kite in Crystal Reef is the fragrance from the new line by Andreoli that appealed to me the most from the very beginning. Well, as it sometimes happens, it ended up with me and what can I say?
I really like it.
I admit it has certain parallels to one or another fragrance, but I just love this type of scents.

The fragrance starts off with a fresh, aquatic, sweet note. At the opening, it reminded me a bit of fragrances like the classic Nikos Sculpture or even Xerjoff Uden. The parallels are undeniable, but still, the Andreoli scent has a noticeably unique twist. It follows its own path!

Especially at the beginning, this certain sweetness gives me very slight chewing gum vibes. Sounds strange, but that's how it is for my nose. It doesn't smell exactly like chewing gum! Nevertheless, it has certain "borrowings" for me.
Combined with this fresh, aquatic touch, I really like it.

Over time, the slightly fruity elements definitely fade away. However, this aquatic freshness somehow remains.
Beautiful floral notes also come into play and fit perfectly with the fragrance.
Everything does seem quite synthetic, but I like that and I don't find it bad at all. The fragrance has already brought me compliments.
Was I surprised? No.
It's simply because these certain traits of a Sculpture/Uden always go over well. It just smells good.

As time goes on, the fragrance transforms significantly. Here, Kite in Crystal Reef also distinguishes itself even more clearly from the aforementioned candidates.
Kite in Crystal Reef gets a quite intense cedarwood. A subtly sweet blend of tonka bean and vanilla also joins in.

All in all, a great fragrance that I really like. There will certainly be some who find the similarities too silly.
But that's up to each individual.
If we're honest, it's difficult to completely reinvent the wheel. There are thousands of fragrances on the market, and having a completely unique selling point is not so common anymore. If you lean towards certain DNA but manage to create a beautiful, independent fragrance with really great personal twists, I'm completely fine with that.

Whether this line really had to be made so "expensive" with less content, I'm not so sure. I don't know the exact background, but it's a shame! Simone Andreoli was almost unbeatable in terms of price-performance in the niche!

The fragrance lasts about eight hours on my skin and projects really well!
Unisex wearable?
In my opinion, definitely!

Aquatic Refinement Meets Mediterranean Elegance
What a fascinating balance between refreshing aquatic notes and warm sensuality! Simone Andreoli's latest creation from the Timeless Nomad collection truly captures the feeling of limitless freedom - like gliding over turquoise waves with the wind as your only companion.
The opening is downright euphoric: Bergamot and green apple meet aquatic lotus flower and radiant neroli - a composition that instantly evokes vacation vibes. Yet here, Andreoli's signature is already evident: What initially seems like a typical summer scent quickly develops surprising depth and complexity.
The heart is really wonderful: The crystalline accord with its salty, mineral nuances truly brings to mind the spray of breaking waves before your inner eye, without becoming clichédly aquatic. Salty, fresh, but also warm and inviting.
The drydown then surprises with: Tonka bean, vanilla, and cedarwood create a creamy base that recalls sun-warmed skin after a day at the beach. Even vanilla skeptics can enjoy this, as it is never overpowering but perfectly integrated into the aquatic concept.
My conclusion: I usually find aquatic fragrances quite challenging. But Kite in Cristal Reef is not a superficial beach scent; rather, it is a thoughtful, emotional journey between freshness and warmth. Andreoli once again demonstrates his knack for extraordinary compositions that work both during the day and in the evening. The parallels to Uden or Sculpture Homme Eau de Toilette are undeniable. Nevertheless: Perfect for anyone who loves aquatic fragrances but wants more than the usual mainstream clichés.

Simply amazing
Over 20 years ago, Sculpture Homme Eau de Toilette was my all-time favorite. I thought I had outgrown it, but the new fragrance from Simone has simply enhanced this flavor and made it more mature.

To begin with, I am actually a fan of aquatic scents. The sweetness in this fragrance is not aquatic at all. But due to the perfect balance, the scent smells exactly how I imagine it.

Even the vanilla, which is more noticeable at the end of the day, doesn't bother me here. Ah yes. Vanilla is a no-go. Here, it works.

Hats off to this masterpiece. I already endlessly celebrate "Silver Marble | Simone Andreoli." Kite in Crystal Reef fits in seamlessly.

The scent is easily perceptible on my dry skin for over 8 hours. On clothes? Even after washing, you can still smell a bit of the perfume / nectar.

Give it a try. On the skin. Some will love it, others will not.

I wear it during the day and also enjoy it in the evening. Since the fragrance hasn't been around for long, I've only tried it for a few days.

I am already a fan :)

Love at Second Sight
Upon the first spray, Kite in Crystal Reef surprisingly didn't grab me immediately. The opening felt rather reserved and almost inconspicuous to me, very clear, very airy, as if the fragrance didn't want to fully reveal itself yet. I was initially unsure whether it offered enough character or perhaps remained too transparent.

But this is exactly where the strength of this composition begins. After about 30 minutes, the scent noticeably changes. The initial freshness becomes softer, rounder, and gains a pleasant depth without losing its lightness. The aquatic notes now feel more harmoniously integrated, while a warm, slightly creamy base slowly develops. This fragrance can fill rooms.

The scent opens with a fresh, aquatic breeze that instantly creates a vacation and seaside atmosphere. With this fragrance, you can transport yourself to a holiday even on cold days.

The drydown becomes warm and subtle. The tonka bean and vanilla add more depth to the fragrance and keep the aquatic notes elegantly balanced without feeling heavy. As a result, Kite in Crystal Reef not only feels like a classic summer scent but is much more complex and versatile; I will wear it in winter as well.

Am I in Paradise?
I never thought I would write a review. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the rating. I got it blind and applied it immediately, and I have to say wow, I am in love. I instantly felt vacation vibes and just good mood when I smelled it for the first time. Especially the beautiful apple note comes through strongly. For me, this will definitely be the summer scent of 26/27.

Fairground find among helium balloons, cotton candy, and apple peels. Bitingly synthetic and as new as the announcer's text of the bumper cars..

Smells like a Reflection Man/Shiyaaka Silver with a bit of Uden/Private Garden/Sculpture Homme DNA. But not better.

Fireworks of citrus + apple at the start. Unfortunately, on my skin, it also has a chalky note ... quite a straightforward drydown. Loud. Not enough for the price ...

Fresh, lightly aquatic and sweet.
It has parallels to some others, but still carves its own path! I really like it.

A great citrus scent with good longevity/sillage. Similarity to Private Garden by MG.
Unfortunately, too expensive in my opinion.

Great creamy-powdery fresh scent that reminds me a bit of Sculpture and Uden but is still somehow different - a fantastic all-rounder for the whole year.
