Fresh 90s
I must confess, I had hoped to discover an underground precursor to Morillas' creation "Aqcua di Gio." There was no testing opportunity for the fragrance; it is (presumably) only available through online retail. So, it was a blind buy; at that price, not worth mentioning.
The ingredient list reads exceptionally opulent and multidimensional. Mmmh.... I think my olfactory receptors are not trained enough. As extensive and complex as it sounds, the fragrance does not come through for me. Even though it generates noticeable scent levels and nuances. What is worth noting is that it never comes off as cheap (which the price might suggest).
The pronounced, melon-like freshness is initially strong in the air and comes across quite distinctly. This is likely due to the other top components, which underline and capture it a bit more robustly. It is not that exaggerated, generic melon:) that has been used. What is nice is that the whole thing manages without lemon. This suits me personally. I like the "freshness without lemon." Back in the day (after all, 27 years ago), fresh men's fragrances were probably "almost exclusively" available with a lemon opening (please correct me if I'm wrong!). Mr. Morillas seems to enjoy working with melons:))), so I think that's quite bold.
In the middle part, the fragrance becomes rounder and softer, where I can distinctly identify the lavender. The top note flashes through now and then; it is the persistent (but "pleasantly" smelling) watermelon. At this point, you can also catch a hint of the scent direction from "Lacoste Original" - fresh green.
In the end... well... the finish is mild and cannot quite hold up against the opulent opening and middle part. It subtly slips away and becomes close to the skin, but it is lasting. Ultimately, the quite pronounced note of incense remains, paired with a subtle freshness.
The sillage is initially (as is often the case with Morillas) voluminous, but then somehow fades away in the following course.
The longevity can be set at a good 5 hours. Since I am not a re-sprayer - and this is quite noticeable with the Ballermann top note - it must be applied quite generously to ensure something remains by midday :)))) . However, this is not a problem here, as it never becomes truly intrusive or overpowering. The fresh ingredients never hurt at any time.
The bottle has a visually (cheapest) 90s appearance and is unremarkable, but the spray comes out cleanly from the atomizer - so that's okay. Ultimately, that's the main thing (it won't be a collector's bottle;).
There is indeed a very small precursor to its "hit" recognizable. The rose that is not present here, for example, makes "Match Play" smell more robust and pronounced. But somehow also a bit unspectacular - at least when looking or smelling today:). However, anyone who likes "Aqcua di Gio Profumo" can certainly take a sniff at this price and pick up the trail of what it has become years later.
