Performance

This is not a comment on the fragrance, which has already been sufficiently commented. It is for me still a terrific Duftkompenstition, no longer as ingenious and refined as the old in the brown / golden bottle, but still very pleasing. My ex-was really fuzzy with the fragrance and also other ladies react quite very positively to this fragrance.
But what happened? First the brown version has exactly that certain green something what the gray is missing. It seems smokier, more transparent, the brown greener, earthier. Nevertheless, both have for me this Sexy/Dirty/Elegante Dna, from therefore this was for me first okay...
I have owned over the years various OW bottles, (1x30ml, 4x50ml, 2x100ml)
What struck me is that the fragrances with age actually shone more, the performance nevertheless decreased more and more and an alcohol note increased, but what my current 2/2 100ml / A40 bottle delivers in performance is simply away cheeky! (even compared to its predecessor bottle 50ml / Batch B19, still contains some splashes, so draw side by side comparisons).
Penetrant, really disgusting spirit / alcohol note in the opening (1-3min), after 5min "at the peak", after 30min only skin close perceptible.
Even with overdose even on clothes and hair, he no longer holds and shines after 30min.
He is original from the turquoise, no tester or the like, freshly opened, I'm not smell-blind, Unfeld also takes little to nothingmehr perceived after a short time.
The created Dna is nevertheless indisputably a true masterpiece, a real milestone.
Even if I have long overbroken and he partly even annoy me, he is just unfortunately now as inconspicuous, daring as his new (gray) design suggests.
Too bad, I wish the brown stronger (not strong powerhouse, he never was, but he was potent!) greener, earthier old brother again, not his boring become gray suit wearing little brother.
He seems a bit like a young wild one who has now, aged far too soon, works in a grey boring suit in a savings bank, is under the rod of his wife and young daughter and has given up his potency.
The bull has more or less cut off his horns....
