Gunter Sachs in St. Tropez

Loose, light, lively and profound. For many, Gunter Sachs may have been like any other playboy stumbling around the world, but he certainly wasn't.

On a rather boring Sunday evening I once saw a documentary about this fascinating person. My attitude towards him was very critical in the beginning. I only knew the stories that were still being broadcast from time to time on RTL and similar gossip channels and newspapers on his birthdays.

How deep can someone of this caliber be?

As it turned out: extreme!

From artist to technical and economic genius, this man seems to have been everything, especially misunderstood.

I had a similar experience with this scent. I smelled it for a short time at the TF Counter in Breuninger and it was considered boring and one of many superficially very pretty but not unique scents.

But a few months ago I smelled him again in the duty free area of Munich airport... In the beginning I thought again only "quite nice", but then a creamy flower meadow in the forest rolled over me like a tank.

The fragrance emanates exactly what the Italians would probably call "Sprezzatura". It is noble and casual at the same time. A fragrance of a mixture of youthful lightness, beach villa and a lot of lust for life.

Certainly no fragrance as unique as A Midsummer Dream or as groundbreaking for the industry as Aventus... But a fragrance to fall in love with, for every day and every situation with more behind it than you would see at first sight.
Its durability and sillage are decent. 2 hours with good sillage and from the 5th hour on already very close

The bottle, like any Tom Ford bottle, is, in my opinion, great... However, as almost always the sign is not 100% straight on it, which is definitely something annoying at this price. Especially with this frequency on almost every second bottle.

Great analogy. I also associate a man experienced in the world, not necessarily matured but one who has remained young in the head. The moss creates a certain sovereignty

That's a great description. I admire Sachs as well and like you see more than just playful playboy
I guess I'll have to give the scent a try now.

I'm with you there: I ALWAYS liked Gunter Sachs because, despite the gossip, he had a lovely melancholy quality. I would have loved to have met him. The scent? It's out of my budget range.

A "creamy flower meadow" is not really mine, but I liked reading your commi (and now I'll have a look at your hashtag #playboy, or maybe #happy fits me better ;)
