...always the crazy ones in the band;-)?!? In any case, they are always very special characters, somewhere between madness and genius...when I think of Gene Simmons or Steve Harris - two idols from my youth. Normally, the lead guitarists or drummers steal the show.
But with this bass solo, not even a Stratocaster stands a chance...to use the obvious pun;-)!
Bass Solo captivated me from the very first spray. Based on the previous comments, I expected a complex-difficult, dark, and somewhat inaccessible scent.
The exact opposite was the case; an extremely flattering, wonderfully aromatic fragrance that possesses all the facets that make a great scent for me: At the beginning, delicious, fluffy lemon bergamot cream, then sweet-aromatic spiciness, combined with savory woody notes...resulting in an enchanting mix that comes across as creamy, soft, and balanced.
Despite the almost mainstream-like "lightness," Bass Solo still feels complex and very noble. You can almost feel its quality...therefore, it’s no surprise who is responsible for these fragrances...for me, it is the European answer/counterpart to Jubilation 25.
As with his Amouage masterpiece, no single note stands out or imposes itself here. The complete fragrance tapestry is perfectly balanced down to the smallest detail, yet there is always something new to discover. It was only on the third test that I was able to detect a slight smokiness. I had a similar experience with Jubilation; it was only on the 3rd-4th round that I could discover the blackberry there. Thus, Bass Solo creates a beautiful tension arc through its development, one that you won't tire of quickly.
For me, it immediately goes on the wish list and is a strong contender for autumn, although it can also be worn well even now in higher temperatures, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
The longevity is absolutely okay at 6-7 hours, and the sillage is above average on my skin.
Here, I can wholeheartedly recommend it for all wood fans and lovers of aromatic fragrances.
Thanks to KingLui for this lovely sample promotion and the opportunity to test this very interesting brand among others:-)!
No, bass players are the quiet ones; the ones who usually stand at the back of the stage, barely noticed - only to disappear at the end of the night with the prettiest concert-goer ("Aww, he's so shy, how cute").
And the bass solo is usually when EVERYONE starts chatting. Still, your comment has made me curious about this scent :)
Yes, yes, yes! I share your scent perception and enthusiasm! Just tested it today and found it absolutely beautiful right away. I still need to explore the smokiness :)
Really well described, and I appreciate the comparison to Jubilation 25. I had the chance to test the scent (BassSolo) through a sharing, and I found it to be on the lighter side. Fresh and woody. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get along with the slightly milky character. Still, it's a very commendable fragrance.

Yeah, yeah, the bass players...I play drums :-D!!! Ahem!
