One of many, isn't it?
Aztek, a fragrance that inspired me even in my early childhood.
Without knowing it I already had a weakness for scents, so I secretly put scents on which my brother used or my uncle, who wore Zino and G-man since I can think. Still today I mourn many smells after, above all Zino, fortunately I still possess enough vintage so that it is still enough a while
The Red Column Flacon already appealed to me in the 90s when my mother ordered from Yves Rocher and added some men's fragrances in the form of minis as a bonus. At that time, men and women still had a good selection of scents, which fit in the time and would still be good today if they could still get as cheap as then.

I was lucky to get a full bottle here on Parfumo and was very happy to have Aztek back with me. The fragrance begins pithy with bergamot, which creates the citrusy prelude. The remaining ingredients are added little by little. After the bergamot slowly moves into the background, the herbs and spices take over, but without completely pushing away the vanilla and tonka bean, but form a whole, which is supported by the pimento very fine fragrance. It may be that some people don't get along with cumin in combination with tarragon, but for me it fits - and so it belongs together!

In one thing I have to agree with Taurus, no Incas, no glyphs and certainly no indigo culture. It could have been written on the flacon what would have wanted, but the name wouldn't have mattered to me then or now, but it would still have found its way in ;-) Because Aztek is unique for me, I can't remember in a second to have sniffed anything comparable, neither from 80s scents nor from later ones! For me Aztek simply belongs in the crazy 90s where I was allowed to spend my childhood and yes dear Parfumogemeinde, I mourn this time afterwards! No other decade would I have wanted to experience between childhood and youth! (only the over30s among us understand that :D)

Aztek has a decent durability, the Sillage is rather discreet, it may be that you still notice it in the first half hour. I will probably have to buy another bottle, because as always: if you have rare scents, you hardly put them on, although you would like to wear them daily...

Wonderful spicy oriental...
It just shows you that not all great fragrances need to come from high-end perfume houses! This one certainly offered a lot for it's price and was quite pleasing.

It opens with spicy cloves and cinnamon and spicy black pepper, the caraway is also prominent and stays throughout the duration of the fragrance. i detect a hint of lavender and dry herbs, and the cinnamon definately gives the whole thing a nice warm touch, like a big hug or sitting by the fire. It also has a very nice pepper and sandalwood base, which makes it very smooth and very dry.

Overall, this a really nice creation from Yves Rocher, and I think it's fair to use the phrase "they don't make them like this any more!". Indeed!
