In the dark eye, no tear, ...

(Heinrich Heine 1845 "The Silesian Weavers")

...well, it’s not that bad, don’t worry :-)

Tweed, derived from the Scottish word "tweel," which describes the weaving technique, is a heavy fabric, often with woolen yarn nubs, that is also used for kilts.

Appropriately, WE±Tweed is a dense, heavy fragrance. Very warm and sweet and absolutely long-lasting. The sillage, on the other hand, is not so impressive. To my nose, the notes of Ambroxan and musk dominate, which I almost feel I can taste in my throat, so intense and prominent are they here. Violet leaves or even pepper, on the other hand, I search for in vain... there’s nothing green, nothing prickly-sharp. The dark, heavy, warm fabric is flawlessly and uniformly woven and covers everything else.

I don’t find the scent unpleasant and it’s quite wearable for the colder half of the year, but somehow I miss a bit of pep here, a corner, a small flaw in the weave, something that breaks up the uniformity, which feels a bit numbing...

Ich werde verrückt: die Etymologie von Tweed war mir als altem Fan und Träger gar nicht bekannt. Wieder was gelernt. Auch über den Duft. ;)
