Darth Vader in the Shower
Normally, one shouldn't sympathize with the villains, but I have to admit that Darth Vader is one of the coolest film villains ever created, and in my youth, I often imagined what it would be like to be the dark lord. At least until George Lucas told his backstory with a more than annoyingly know-it-all Anakin Skywalker and had the role played by the more than stiff-looking Hayden Christensen (he should have been animated on the computer…) and thus almost irreparably messed up the character of the dark Darth Vader.
*sigh*
If you only knew how hard it is for me now to watch the original trilogy of these films without having to think about the fact that under the cool black helmet is the face of Hayden/Anakin…
Ah, let's just get to the scent…
The scent:
The fragrance starts off briefly fresh with bergamot and lime (I think the lime is more noticeable), but then a storm of synthetic sweetness hits you. This makes the scent even smell like delicious ice cream in cones, giving it a nice summery vibe. However, the synthetic aspect is really bothersome here, as you become more than aware of the low quality of this fragrance, although one shouldn't expect much from a scent that costs around 15 euros (which isn't entirely true, as I bought both Nikos Sculpture and Agua Fresca by Adolfo Dominguez for about 20 euros, and both fragrances are divine!).
Anyway, the sweetness seems to come from the jasmine, which doesn't smell as good as in most perfumes, but at least isn't as bad as it might sound; the apple, on the other hand, can only be faintly perceived. Later, the scent remains sweet with a woody undertone.
The sillage:
The projection is rather low. Initially, it is pleasantly noticeable, but the scent dissipates within about thirty minutes and remains below average.
Thus, the longevity is also below average, lasting only four to six hours.
The bottle:
The bottle looks good at first glance, like the other Star Wars fragrances. After all, it has the shape of a lightsaber, which is quite impressive. The first bottles seemed a bit fragile to me, but they now seem to work, as you have to twist them to extend the spray head. As I said, everything is very interestingly designed.
“Admiral! The rebels are attacking. Where is Lord Vader?”
“Under the shower!”
“... um...”
That's how I imagine the scent, a fragrance that is as synthetic as a shower gel and dissipates just as quickly. Empire Man is a bit sweeter than Jedi, and I find it significantly better than the Jedi scent.
It's casual, smells somewhat banal, and either delights children or hardcore Star Wars fans (because of the bottle). Too weak and synthetic for going out, but if someone wants, they can certainly use it as an inexpensive daytime fragrance. Usable at any time, whether spring or autumn. I would call the scent an all-rounder.
Now the big question: How does Darth Vader actually shower? :D
