North African Aromatherapy
Cologne du Maghreb came to me rather unexpectedly as a swap; I had hardly any expectations and only a lot of neutral to negative Cologne experiences to show for it.
Citrus scents and colognes tend to develop like sweat on my skin, but my annoyance doesn’t last long, as I usually can’t smell anything after just 1 hour. By the way, this is my second reason why no cologne finds its way into my collection: Art and skill aside, I don’t spend money on 1-hour scents. The price-performance ratio simply doesn’t add up.
Back to Cologne du Maghreb: The scent is ethereally light and contains a juicy lemon accord with a rough, slightly bitter, and somehow dark background.
I actually have to think of the streets of North Africa: dusty, warm, and permeated with spicy air.
Andy Tauer has created a really good cologne counterpart to the widely popular L'Air du Desert. The proportion of natural fragrance oils in the cologne also gives it a slightly aromatherapeutic effect, very calming.
The scent has a certain depth (perhaps due to the labdanum) and stands out clearly from all the colognes I have tested so far. No sweat smell, no sharp lemon or grapefruit, but a rounded, warm little water with top-notch ingredients. The closest comparisons might be Annick Goutal's Eau du Sud or Nuits d'Hadrien with Cologne du Maghreb.
I have consumed countless amounts of this scent in the past few weeks and see the liquid level continuously dropping. Would I repurchase the scent? Probably not, as much as I like it. Because despite the "scent shower," it ends after a measly 40 minutes, sometimes even sooner.
Nevertheless, for anyone still looking for a cologne and tolerating weak longevity, I can only warmly recommend Cologne du Maghreb!
