Dry Bock
I don't understand the concept behind this fragrance. Now, here's the thing: If I had the impression that there is a concept for which my abilities, whatever they may be, are insufficient to grasp, I would simply refrain from commenting. But in this case, I feel that something has been mixed together quite aimlessly and visionlessly, without anyone having thought about where the journey should lead. And unfortunately, there was no lucky hit.
The opening is fruity on my skin at first, tending towards pear. After a few minutes, the heart note sets in, and it is quite remarkable: piercing, pulling, bone-dry. "Remarkable" is the term because such a flat-dry impression is quite rare in fragrances that usually strive for depth, complexity, and liveliness. For good reason, by the way. This EdT drifts strongly in my perception towards dried... uh... let's leave that. It's really not meant to be harsh, but when sniffed soberly, I notice similarities to liquids that one wouldn't particularly want to place in the refrigerator or the living room.
In the base note, it becomes less unpleasant again: a slightly aquatic fruitiness mixes with a leather accord, but the underlying tone remains dry. It is astonishing that all this consistent dryness contributes significantly to a - in terms of wording - somewhat contradictory assessment on my part: Drifter is completely unnecessary. I see no line, no goal, nothing at all. Only the bottle is nice. For so much money, that's quite a devastating conclusion.
