The scent of the mysterious and reserved thinker

Silk. No. Maybe it is. I was sceptical - but it was love at first sight. What's behind that scent is the mysterious. It is not a deep secret that this fragrance carries - but it is the mysterious, it is the thoughtful, it represents for me the multi-faceted and at the same time complicated human being. Whoever wears this fragrance doesn't necessarily want to please - and yet he does. This fragrance is literally a veil, a dark and romantic companion. And by romanticism I don't mean the eroticism of a cuddly scent, it is the romanticism of the ambivalence of being human. The human being who is searching for meaning, and not despairing - no, he feels comfortable in this search.

The fragrance consists of incredibly tasteful rose scents - and these are also enveloped, and I don't like to explain what it is. Sandalwood? Oud? Patchouli? In the meantime I have tested so many fragrances, and it is often easy to extract the beauty of individual components. Here it's different: the interaction of the components creates something wonderful and very unique and for me indescribable.

I have to think of a dark purple - and whenever I wear an elegant shirt - which is not quite black, but rather very carefully immersed in dark shades of red, this fragrance fits perfectly. Do you know which shirt I mean? The official name of my shirt is plum. :-) And this fragrance is perfect for exactly these situations, when you need that certain icing on the cake without screaming too loud or being extravagant. Just like the shirt, which may look black at first glance, but hides something else entirely. That's the elegant side of the fragrance, but for me the fragrance carries something else entirely.

Do you know those, possibly late puberty, young people who lose themselves in the poetry of philosophy - and who are very mysterious in their way, not really annoying but not quite fitting in this world. Also here: This fragrance carries exactly this mysterious component of a mysterious but - for me - young, masculine person. No macho. It is the fragrance of the mysterious and rather reserved thinker
Actually I thought - that's it with Tom Ford, I've tried so much, my journey must continue. And then I get a sample and it goes boom again. The fragrance is so incredibly round and tells a story, it is linear but incredibly interesting. My conflict with Tom Ford is the image of the brand, ostentatious - a real bonze shop. But the perfumers behind these creations create a fantastic escape from this world with fragrances like Oud Fleur and give our stories a fitting scent - and we give the fragrances a story
