This perfume is like a good wine... because it needs to mature!
I can firmly say that I did not look for or buy this perfume to get an alternative to the now very weak Aventus. I actually bought a perfume for the first time in my life because of the bottle. Call me with pleasure marketing victim, because in this case I was it also.
I do not regret the blind purchase in the meantime. The emphasis in the previous sentence is on 'meanwhile', because initially I was actually even a little disappointed by the content of the beautiful flacon.
H&S were not, in my opinion, worthy of the price. I had expected more from the fragrance and the leather note on which I had so looked forward in the drydown somehow also did not come to the fore. I kept the perfume, however, for the reason stated at the beginning.
For about 2 weeks I wore the perfume sporadically and was never really convinced.
3 months later I decided to apply this perfume again and lo and behold. I could clearly smell the leather after an hour and after a whole 7 hours I even got another compliment. The scent stood out... and very positively!
Both my problems were solved and I had exactly the perfume in my hands which I had wished when buying.
Moral of the story: If you are not convinced of the performance in the beginning, just let it stand a weilchen in a dark closet or just put it in the wine cellar

From the post-maturation of fragrances I had heard a lot but never really believed it, because most fragrances before they leave their birthplace, anyway "maintained". I thought that the process would be finally completed and nothing would change (even with time). But I was also taught otherwise, because most of my fragrances have become more intense and "fuller" with time what have also made themselves felt in the durability and sillage. Also, some became darker in color (from transparent / light yellowish to a strong and dark orange).

@Terra I have actually also observed with some fragrances of mine. However, it was with none as strong a change as with this one. With some there was even a rather negative development.

It actually makes sense chemically. Maceration. Most of my scents became even fuller/fatter and rounder over time. This is normal.
