Out of This World

Diving into nature. Lightly powdery tomato leaf: Bright citrusy juicy bergamot, spicy grass, floral cut greens, vegetables (cucumber, tomato), floral nuances. Dew-fresh. Unused. Optimistic. Green-clean, subtly powdery musk, gently indolic accompaniment, catches and cradles warmly. Almost weightless. Like a tomato leaf in the sun, gently exuding all its plant essence.

A very special green fragrance. Related to the wonderful Cassis en Feuille. Fragile, quiet, and lasting. Weightless. Adorably pretty. And with this refreshingly lively, unpretentious soul that maintains the fascination. Pure quality. Inspiring and tickling the senses.

With heartfelt thanks to FvSpee for the opportunity to test.

Fully on the Green Twelve

In Between is the fourth of five perfumes from the limited (and, ahem, high-priced) edition "Vintage Spirit," and this fragrance is also worth a comment. It is even my favorite among the four.

The name of the fragrance, the accompanying illustration, and the advertising text lead, in my opinion, to many false trails:

In Between means "in between" (or "in the meantime"), but it is actually rather full (good) on the green meadow. The accompanying graphic by Francois Cadière shows a mermaid standing on her fin tail from behind, surrounded by fish and water plants, patting the bottom of her human neighbor (the two seem to be waiting together at an underwater bus stop for the next bus). Whether this waiting neighbor is a man or a woman is not discernible despite their nakedness. Aquatic or even fishy, this fragrance does not come across that way either.

The advertising text (translated by me from English) reads: "A fragrance that takes you back to the revolutionary unisex fragrance trend of the 90s. Fresh-citrusy bergamot notes, aromatic and spicy notes with artemisia, coriander, Sichuan pepper, translucent-clean jasmine, and musks" [whether "musks," the plural form of the singular "musk" in English, is due to a playful spirit or ignorance remains to be seen]. That fits better, but I hardly perceive the spicy notes here independently; pepper and coriander might dip their toes in, but nothing more.

For me, "In Between" is a clean, simple, fine beauty entirely in radiant, light green. The distinct citrus does not appear independently; it is firmly integrated into the dominant light green notes, just like the very delicate sweetness. One could attach the adjectives "powdery," or even more so "creamy," to the fragrance, but above all, In Between is a gentle, mild scent of delicate yet stimulating freshness. I almost wanted to reach for the adjective "dry," but that could create false impressions; "In Between" is like a young, flexible, soft spring twig, perhaps one with catkins.

Two fragrances with a similar overall character (which I also like very much) are "Gunpowder Cologne" from the same house (though from the "Standard Line") and "Springfield" by Harry Lehmann - Springfield is, however, a bit heavier and more masculine, and Gunpowder Cologne is more sparkling and less green than this one.

From what has been said so far, it is already clear that In Between has something girlish about it; nevertheless, it is rightly declared unisex and absolutely wearable for a man. It is certainly the absolute opposite of sultry, and yet its bright aroma possesses a restrained sensuality; it is truly a fragrance in every sense to fall in love with.

However, the longevity and sillage of this fragrance are just as restrained as its sensuality and beauty. After comparing my paycheck with the price tag, I will not be acquiring this fragrance. However, should I win the lottery, I hereby formally and bindingly announce that I will acquire at least one liter of it before opening a men's boutique in Iceland with the Pope.

A hesperidic note at the start is quickly replaced by a floral heart and fades out in green spicy tones with a powdery finish.

Pretty, but a bit subtle. For a second, bergamot, then spicy, green floral, subtle
physical-indolic musk base. Classic

You are lightly citrusy, wonderfully green and powdery. And you are so ethereal, a hint... linger a little longer...

Spraying it on: there it is again. Arrived. Endless bright green expanses. A freshness that is both gentle and invigorating. If it lasted a bit longer, it would be a 10.

The underlying spice warms the bergamot just enough for the fruity aroma to unfold alongside the fine acidity in a powdery floral way. Extra good.

Green lightness: the core consists of green coriander & bergamot, without any sharpness. All on soft musk.

Gentle, green-powdery spiciness. Tomato leaf on a delicate, restrained indolic musk bed. A pastel blend of innocence and pheromones.

At first, the scent reminds me of lime leaves - green, citrusy, and fresh. As it develops, it becomes peppery and creamier. Lovely!

Starts off strongly citrusy.
Quickly becomes herbal-green-balsamic and warmer.
Pepper is clearly noticeable.
The citrus character remains.
Unfortunately just nice.
