Very Elegant in the Barbershop

I came to this fragrance because I smelled it on someone else and the elegant powderiness really appealed to me.

The scent opens fresh and powdery. The freshness and powderiness are maintained throughout the fragrance's development. It settles on a woody base and becomes slightly sweet. The lavender gives it a barbershop spin.

It is a subtle fragrance that does not impose itself. I think this fits well because the scent also embraces a light, fresh, and powdery theme. Accordingly, it does not project much and quickly becomes close to the skin. After 6 hours, I can still perceive it closely.

The fragrance suits many occasions and seasons, although I would steer clear of it in the height of summer or during sports.

For this price, you should really take a look at it.

Expensive at the Start, Cheap in the Progression

bugatti is a German fashion brand that sounds like the famous Italian car brand but has nothing to do with it. Still, it stands on the shelf next to Jaguar, Bentley, and Mercedes-Benz.

Performance Red is a seemingly limited fragrance from 2023 and is considered one of the best-rated by the brand. I noticed it in a local drugstore and sprayed it on a fragrance strip. It smelled good.
Cheap and limited, so I bought it immediately. That was a mistake.

Because Performance Red starts off really well and smells significantly more expensive than it is, but then it epically declines in the progression.
The opening is fresh and sweet, with a slight spiciness and a hint of fruitiness. Up to this point, everything is nice and good, and one looks forward to what may come next. The sweetness comes through especially after a short time, while the fresh aspect disappears and is replaced by a powderiness that is not elegant at all, but rather has a strong synthetic aftertaste that is quite unpleasant. From here on, the fragrance becomes increasingly uncomfortable. The initially positive surprise transforms, and after an hour, one understands why a 100 ml bottle is available for a rather low two-digit amount.
The contrast between the opening and the progression also makes classification difficult. The opening suggests everyday and leisure wear, while the drydown points to clubs and parties.

Unfortunately, I see red for the fragrance's performance (heh).
The sillage is already quite subtle from the start and then fades even more after about half an hour. After 3½ hours, the fragrance is only close to the skin. But hey, it was cheap, so reapplying doesn't hurt as much.
The bottle is the most successful part; it looks quite stylish (though not too spectacular) and is well-made.

What should I do now with my bottle? Use it up quickly? Sell it? Throw it away? Gift it?
I'm sure a suitable fate will be found for "Performance Red | bugatti Fashion." I could pretend it's from the sports car brand...
