If Gerhard Schröder were a perfume....
...he'd be "Lapidus pour Homme Black Extreme" by Ted Lapidus. The old comrade-boss basta chancellor, boxed from the bottom to the top, with balls in his pants, natural brainwax and firm elbows in a Brioni suit. In short: a real wide-legged guy, who today still has no desire for a Bieder-German Jack Wolfskin retirement, but still lets it crack with a certain "lick-me-all" attitude. Gazprom activity, Putin friend and much younger new attractive Asian at his side. He doesn't care! Hats off, I say! Guys like that - extinct as dinosaurs. Lapidus pour Homme Black Extreme" also seems so edgy and chunky and I am sure it would fit the old gas-garden as well as Putin the flawless anti-democrat. For some time I thought about which of the two Ted Lapidus Homme would fit better to Schröder? The old (grey) 1987 version of Ted Lapidus "pour Homme" or the ingeniously modernized black Extreme version of 2012. I decided for the latter, because I wouldn't even trust the former chancellor in his jaunty old-fashionedness to use a nearly 35 year old perfume for that long. But Aventus and various oud scents wouldn't suit him either. Hence my decision to stylistically subordinate the "Lapidus pour Homme Black Extreme" in the thought construct to him. A fragrance that is so striking and animalistic and seems to have fallen out of the current social consensus to such an extent that it would not be acceptable for many of these gender-neutral whiny vegan men today. That's it! If edges remain among themselves, an orderly retreat into the subculture!
I rarely wear it myself, but I like it when I show an inner "fuck you" attitude. I would certainly not have been brushed on consensus on that day.
The Black Extreme is very space demanding. It certainly doesn't want to please the mainstream. A black iceberg, of which only the upper quarter can be seen, and then you basically underestimate it. On the paper strip, it rolls over everything that gets in its way olfactorically and without any trouble. Bam, bam, bam! Juniper, imitation leather, black pepper, Amazing also the often noticed urinal notes. Yep! That's it! I've never smelled like this before with other perfumes - brave to cultivate them in the modernized Back Extreme version, even to expand on them. Those at Ted Lapidus know how to be stubborn. Sympathetic. They probably read the 1300 page Gerhard Schröder biography. Not me, I only got to page 1000. His perfumes were never mentioned anywhere in it, I just wanted to say...
