The Hotel Adlon at Pariser Platz / Unter den Linden ... prominence in Berlin ... historic hotel architecture ... oh, sorry, this is about perfume ... Adlon at the drugstore ... luckily, I tried it on my skin right after testing it on paper, because with test strips it's always a bit tricky: helpful for a first impression, but absolutely unsuitable for scent exploration for / on / yourself.
Saffron - Oud - Leather - - - who wants that?
I want that, because I like this combination. Not every one, but many.
(Old) tea ... cow shed (or worse ... what does a sports exhaust smell like? Would that be something for Rammstein?) ... I don't smell any of that! I hardly perceive bergamot ... but I do notice pleasant resins, wood, and leather.
In fact, this scent is not a novelty, not a revelation, nothing previously un-smelled ... but who seriously expected that to be associated with the name Adlon?
In my opinion, you get what can be associated with the term 'Adlon': something solid, durable, with a hint of the scent of the wide world, oriental yet clearly European, slightly out of time and yet in a certain way elegant. Not experimental, artistic, or fresh in the sense of new, rather understated, but not outdated.
A lasting European oriental for every occasion, noticeable yet not intrusive, spicy-resinous-smoky-aromatic with wood and leather, warm-sensual-enveloping - just right for the beginning of autumn and the coming months.
I don't like the hotel that much.
I really like the scent.
Next time it's on offer, I'll definitely take a backup with me.
The packaging is elaborate and solid, the bottle is - especially due to the (plastic) cap - quite exceptionally well done.
