Damn, why the hell did I buy this fragrance!
I have enough sweet stuff, enough vanilla, lavender, fruit and freshness. Yes, enough synthetics too. An unnecessary purchase. So why?
At the forefront certainly this fresh straight-in-your-face sweetness, combined with cool lavender, indefinable (berry(?)) Fruit and the aroma chemicals that give you a long nose. Very pleasing, mildly offensive, clingy.
My wild thesis on the actual reason for buying it, however, is rather the lack of certain elements that paradoxically made it interesting for me. Notes that are often found in my fragrances that are vaguely comparable to BIRI, such as iris. BIRI also has a slightly powdery effect on me, but without this lipstick vibe. Above all, however, it lacks spice. The fragrance seems conspicuously lacking in spice to me, the pinch of nutmeg drowns in a sea of lavender and vanilla.
This passive-aggressive restraint makes the fragrance extremely accessible and charming. The nice boy next door. After wearing it several times, however, I now realize that it ultimately leaves me bored. Apart from the fact that I am certainly at least 20 years older than the presumed target group, I should have realized before I bought it that I would quickly lose my impulsive interest in the fragrance. Another lesson on my fragrance journey.
And now? Give it away? Let it gather dust? Try out the souk? Nope! I layer it with dark fragrances, especially oud. This creates an exciting symbiosis for me, as oud fragrances are often too heavy and stick to me like fresh-from-the-gruft.
Overall, in my opinion, UBIRI is a lovely, just barely masculine fragrance that would have benefited from a little more spice. It is a safe choice for anyone looking for a reasonably priced EdP with a friendly character and strong performance for various occasions.

Aquaman would wear this!
Admittedly, a steep thesis.
I'm not talking about the blond rag-tag Aquaman from the comics of my childhood, but the action Aquaman from the latest films who looks like Jason Momoa. A fragrance with the robust aura of oceanic spice and a power...
