Dirty citrus
I have a rather large collection of fragrances, and at the moment, Act is my number one! I understand that it may not appeal to everyone, but it’s such a well done creation!
Succulent and tart citrus in the opening, with the promise of something less than clean in the background. The animalic/corporal notes start to become more apparent after a short while. I like to describe it as putting on a crisp and freshly laundered white shirt after a long day working in the sun, and now having had a shower first.
I wouldn’t say it’s very experimental though. It has the right amount of pleasant and of “acquired taste”.
It’s definitely worth trying out!

Weird and fantastic at once.
The first Der Duft creation I'm dealing with. Accompanied me all spring and the beginning of the unbearable summer.

Tempted by opinions about connotations with another creation of Mr. Prin, a certain animal. I knew it would be a 10 points blind buy-shot!

So it is, an aromatic fougère with a modern twist, woody fresh, aromatic play of cypress with lavender in the opening.

Clearly bitter citruses, balancing with musk giving a bit of wildness. Imagine a hairy lime or a hairy orange lying on the oakmoss.

And the best, tobacco, beautifully resounding and changeable. Clearly present, unique. Complementing the whole. Thoughtful composition.

A beautiful niche that is not often talked about at fragcommunity. Pure perfumery art. There is No snakes or another inspired pineapple clone

Der Duft / Act
ACT- smells like ....... new Rhinoceros with a few differences. So Act, apart from a very large and perceptible component of tobacco (a great reproduction of this smell), you can smell cypress trees, ambergris, musk (it is very good :-) and bitter orange (especially in the top note). The fragrance was so close to my reception Rhino (Zoologist) that I buried and BINGO- we have the nose of Mr. Prin Lomros- that is the creator of Rhino :-) and 2 other fragrances for Zoologist.
The perfume is from 2021, the durability is very good, the projection is much above the norm. Even though I have Rhino and I really like this perfume- I chose Act- why? Probably because of this marriage of TOBACCO, BITTER ORANGE, CYPRUS and MUSK. I was captivated by this perfume, even though it felt a clear resemblance.

Act of desperation
According to the list of fragrance notes, Act could in theory have been a very respectable summery citrus fragrance with a lavender twist and a few interesting extras. Perhaps the tobacco stands out a little, but apart from that there's nothing else that stands out.

In practice, the opening of Act is accompanied by a rather unclean, stalky note - just as you would expect when using oud. Not quite as penetrating, but still noticeable. For some, it may be a welcome and surprising extra bonus brushed against the olfactory grain, for others an almost sudden disruption in the otherwise so pleasing sequence.

After a good hour, the stalky nuance has dissipated again, leaving Act with a fairly rounded warm-citrusy fragrance as it progresses. I think ambergris and musk make a valuable contribution to this and you wonder why you couldn't start like this right away. Especially because a few appealing fruity-floral facets then reveal themselves. A comparison with lemonade is not so far-fetched. And the shelf life is also ok.

Ergo: if you like your citrus fragrances a little unorthodox, especially in the opening with a slightly dirty approach, you are welcome to add Act to your watch list. Everyone else, and that includes me, should stay at home for the first hour and then venture out into the crowd.
Accordingly, the evaluation is a little ambivalent, but unfortunately I have to look at the overall package and therefore act a little more strictly. Above all because I'm guessing what you're hinting at with Act or what kind of Act/Act. If that is indeed the case and regardless of that, I'm not really convinced by the concept or the realization of the theme.

A sweaty party guy using colone. It smells freshly comun, but there's something special in it, something like old sexyness
