I was so excited about this sharing bottle. A fragrance pyramid where once again there is something for everyone and the Russian roulette is set in motion as to which faction can prevail on your own skin. Eucalyptus and sage promise green, iris/lily a powdery creamy scent, the base is bursting with wood... well, only tasting makes you smarter.
And the start is exciting: where has the top note gone? Eucalyptus pushes its way to the fore, closely followed by its buddy sage and a somewhat bitchy iris. Iris has her eye on eucalyptus, but it's such an exhausting on/off relationship, the two of them can't agree on whether they want to take it in turns to live their lives together or alone. And so the fragrance oscillates back and forth between green-aromatic-fresh and powdery-musty. Unfortunately, iris is a bit of an elbow grease, and on my skin, it's a long term winner - I would have liked eucalyptus better ... the rest of the flowers are lost in the white-creamy monotony, not too sweet.
There must be people who find
Dubbi aquatic, after all, someone designed the bottle (quite simple, quite pretty but not a work of art per se) and thought baby blue would be a suitable color. My problem: nothing here smells like Aquat. Fresh - yes, spicy - okay, maybe green or creamy, but I don't agree with aquatic.
And then the wooden truck crashes around the corner, my dear Scholli. One of those from Canada with extra length like in Final Destination ... please pump up the "woody" point to three times its size - thank you! On a positive note, guaiba wood was used instead of sandalwood. I would probably have had to wash off sandalwood in combination with iris..
It's no wonder that the fragrance has been rated here as having an incredible longevity. If you use enough wood and musk, and in this case add ambrox and oud, then it must be the devil's own business if the mixture leaves on its own after less than 5 hours.
Unfortunately, the vanilla bothers me enormously - oh wonder, who would have thought it - because in addition to the powdery iris, it produces such an unpleasant sweaty note.
Maybe my skin just doesn't like it or maybe I'm too stupid to understand the intention of the fragrance, but this wild mixture of totally different directions just confuses me. Due to the iris dominance, I see the fragrance more on women, but again, the statement is based on the fragrance sensation on my skin and can of course be totally different on someone else.
