Lehmann's "All-in-One"
I am undecided.

L’avion has some heavyweight perfume friends like Nofrete, Loewenherz, Minigolf, FvSpee, and others. That says something, I trust the judgments of these colleagues here.

Yet I remain undecided.

I wrote in a statement that for this fragrance, every package has truly been opened, coniferous ether, grass, cool-blooded floral notes, spices (thankfully without cinnamon), powder, warmth, coolness, a pinch of orientalism, the entire circle of fifths up front and back down again.

The top note with the nose on the skin says: A powerful surge of cool-blooded scents, I smell lavender - cool and softly spicy, I smell delicate bitter green notes, this is beautiful and distant and reminds me of a great Lehmann favorite of mine, the wonderful melancholic Reseda. So a cool green floral scent - in the style of Vintage No 19, for example.

The top note from a distance, however, says: Conifer and grass, very green, very freshly cut, with a hint of coumarin - a Fougère, thus, with a clear emphasis on pine needle.

So this is how my surroundings smell to me, and while I am a Fougère fan, I fear my surroundings are not so much. Therefore, I prefer to wear Fougères for myself alone. Gradually, the flowers also begin to take the lead in the distant effect, herbaceous and beautifully distant, but pine needle green remains always perceptible.

Softly powdery, yet without even the slightest hint of sweetness or soft non-commitment, always on the waiting and herb-floral side, the fragrance gradually develops; however, over time a very subtly spiced twist comes in - Orient-light, so to speak - also beautiful, and the whole thing ultimately ends in a warm resinous base accord that I recognize from some other Lehmanns as well.

It’s not that the fragrance doesn’t smell quite beautiful and worth smelling in almost every phase of its rapid development (quite uncharacteristically for Lehmann, it indeed goes through quite a lot). It’s just that I appreciate continuity in a Lehmann and almost expect it. Lehmanns are not top note blenders; they almost always start off nearly how they then smell in the heart and eventually fade into the typical Lehmann benzoin-vanilla-amber accord, many at least do - which I truly appreciate.

No, now I am no longer undecided:

This one is not bad - it is even much better than many I have tested. Yet it will not become a favorite. Because: If I want Fougère, I reach for the namesake Lehmann (unfortunately discontinued). If I want cool melancholic-distant floral notes, I reach for Reseda. And if I want green warm resinous silkiness, I reach for my favorite Lehmann Vamos.

Lehmann- Passion: 1 l'Avion - fresh - green weightlessness
I only learned about Harry Lehmann after my last visit to Berlin, which is a shame because I would have loved to take a look in the shop. Actually, externally, they have everything one could wish for:
1. Small house, produced exclusively for the shop
2. Tradition, the shop is run in the third generation
3. Approachability, the perfumer himself stands behind the counter and is said to be very talkative
4. Low price, the fragrances are unbeatable cheap.
Of course, the most important thing is that the perfume also delivers. So I ordered a few fragrances blindly via email, received no confirmation, but got the package with an invoice included.
My first fragrance is L'Avion. It is described on the website as having a "fresh, green grass note," but it is much more than that.
The scent is zesty, bouncing, and above all, weightless.
One can definitely think of the propeller plane of a hobby pilot with this fragrance.
It starts with freshly mowed grass, more white flowers, plenty of stems and leaves. Fresh natural citrus (Petitgrain?), it scratches juicy green in the throat.
Initially, it has a rather authentic scent of flower shops; it smells damp, green, fresh, possibly slightly fresh mossy musty. This brings in a subtly bitter masculinity of the old school. Unfortunately, this is overshadowed by a slight but noticeable cream that bothers me at the beginning. It smells just too feminine for me in close proximity. Fortunately, it only appears occasionally and is otherwise more in the background.
The whole thing mixes with young pine needles, so fresh that you could eat them. Soft, fragile, light green.
The little machine flies over thriving lush nature. It has rained a lot lately, so everything is growing and sprouting. The sun has been shining for a few days and tickles the pilot's face.
The air is clear, you can see far today.
In the horizon, an opaque spice thunderstorm front is hinted at, but it will pass far away. No danger.
The tank is full, today it stays in the air for a long time.
Quick addendum: I know a few Lehmann fragrances and some, this one for example, have a rather similar beige scent that smells a bit old-fashioned.

Thank you very much for reading my comment.

Berlin Flower Bomber
Please fasten your seatbelt! The heavily loaded plane takes off surprisingly quickly and releases a dense grass-green cloud, both fresh, spicy, and bitter-herb. I have rarely smelled such a beautiful green shimmering top note, which is certainly composed of many ingredients. Angelica, myrtle, petitgrain, bitter orange or grapefruit, wormwood, tarragon, and caraway are conceivable.

High in the sky, the airplane performs the wildest acrobatics and showers a multitude of spicy and slightly soapy-scented flowers onto the meadow. There are many carnations and other colorful blooms that lighten the strictness, perhaps jasmine, lilac, orange blossom, and mimosa. The overall impression of the accompaniment is close to broom. Later, an ethereal-menthol component joins in, similar to sage and allspice, and mace is also conceivable. At first, the scent is loud like the revved-up engines of a propeller plane and almost overwhelming. After half an hour, it calms down, and something like freesia and cyclamen comes to the forefront alongside the carnation.

After a few hours of gliding, the machine lands in the evening glow. The dark earth with its flowers and leaf tendrils appears in the pale light like an ancient silky-soft Persian carpet. It may be patchouli, amber, and oak moss that give the perfume a warm, earthy, and almost oriental aura in the end.

To me, "L'Avion" does not seem chaotic, but rather goes through a comprehensible and exciting development: from green to yellow-red to dark red. The opulent floral bouquet with the central carnation feels retro, while the original top note and the progression make the perfume niche.

The scent is distinctive and ensures a grand entrance. No flight license is needed to take off with it - just go for it!

Nostalgic music fitting the theme: "Capriolen" by Peter Kreuder & Orchestra, 1937, title song of the film of the same name by Gustav Gründgens. In the comedy, an author of books about extraordinary women, who prefers a homemaker, falls in love with a pilot.

Daring Men in Their Flying Machines
L'Avion. The airplane. I too wondered both before testing it, when I read here "grassy, green, floral," and after testing it, why on earth this fragrance has an aeronautical name. It certainly doesn't smell of technology, roaring engines, kerosene, shimmering heat from the jet engines, or anything like that (if anyone is interested, they should try "Mirage" from the same house).

My first idea was more of an image: A small propeller plane lands (perhaps an emergency landing in the wilderness) in a clearing or on the heath, the landing gear tearing up the earth, the pilot jumps out of the cockpit, takes off his leather pilot cap, and inhales the vast nature surrounding him (the image of the pilot with his plane could be beautifully designed in a vintage style, used as a label, and the fragrance marketed at five times the price).

However, once I noticed the truly unusual jumps that this little water has, my second idea came to mind about what might be in the air: Abnormal flying dynamics in crisis situations (turbulence! Repairing the propeller mid-flight!) and aerobatics (dive! Roll! Loops!)...

From this perspective, the name can be justified (and I tried to connect my two ideas in the title of this comment), even though I would have given the fragrance a more telluric, earthbound name - I will explain why shortly.

L'Avion has the typical strengths of a Lehmann fragrance (the power, the quirky character, the angularity, the longevity), but it is different from most Lehmanns, as has already been said, anything but linear. At the beginning, I perceive it as very green and dark-saturated-fresh, a bit floral and perhaps a bit earthy (but never dull). From the very first second, I find it enormously likable, although I didn't even expect that based on the descriptions and only wanted to try it out of curiosity and for the sake of completeness. After about an hour, I smell it again intentionally; now a much brighter, aromatic-pepperminty freshness dominates for me. In between, something sweet mixes in briefly, and the long drydown (starting about 3 to 4 hours after spraying, and transformable in itself) I would describe as powdery-fine-soapy, but still herb-fresh. And yes, the previous commenter is right, in this fine, powdery aspect there is indeed a funny little pencil lead note, which I would never have come up with on my own.

What I do not perceive at all is the citrus note that some claim to be so dominant, nor have I noticed any orgiastic floral excesses. Perhaps that’s my fault.

I find all of this really beautiful and truly fascinating!

Although the scent development really holds surprises, I have never experienced L'Avion as disharmonious, as a tour de force, as an action movie. Despite the sudden twists, there is also something constant, and that lies in the gently cool "temperature" of the fragrance and its consistently earthy-natural "colors" (mainly green and brown tones). For me, this is an entirely benign, almost bucolic fragrance that always looks at you with a different expression but still always smiles.

The nose beside me likes it too. Ergo: It goes on my wish list!

P.S.: I also recommend this fragrance to the Korianke hair salon in Berlin. I think it might have the potential to appeal to some regular customers of this establishment, and possibly even its owner. In any case, we would be pleased to hear the maestro's assessment!

'Wind North/East, Runway Zero Three...'
'...I can hear the engines from here.
Like an arrow, it flies by,
and it roars in my ears.
And the wet asphalt trembles,
as the rain dusts like a veil,
until it takes off and hovers
towards the sun.'

Actually, I usually follow the unwritten rule when writing my comments to not use the same analogy, metaphor, or reference text for more than one perfume. I have already used Reinhard Mey's 'Über den Wolken' for my comment on Roads' White Noise - and yes: it fits there (still). And yet, I am using the same text here once again.

'I still watch it for a long time,
see it climb the clouds.
Until the lights gradually
fade into the rainy gray.
My eyes have already
lost that tiny point.
Only from afar sounds monotonously
the hum of the engines.'

When I wrote about 'Über den Wolken' in relation to White Noise, I meant exactly that: 'above the clouds'. The light, the white, the apparent infinity and invisibility of everything earthly that may press and weigh us down below that cloud cover. In Roads' Big Sky, I find a similar theme conveyed. However, in Reinhard Mey's famous song, most lines are about the world down here. And its scent.

'Then everything is quiet, I go,
rain seeps through my jacket.
Someone is brewing coffee
in the air traffic control shack.
Gasoline floats in the puddles,
shimmering like a rainbow.
Clouds are reflected in them -
I would have loved to fly along.'

Harry Lehmann's L'Avion is a very earthly scent. Accessible. Grounded. Quite down-to-earth. And yet - or perhaps because of that - it lacks nothing. There is a delicate soapiness and a warm golden-herbaceous green that, in its vaguely nostalgic nature, reminds one more of the years when Reinhard Mey was a young bard than of the green found in contemporary fragrances. That is very beautiful. Along with a bright, almost shy floral note like daisies on the green strip at the edge of the runway - and yes: a bit of the wet asphalt and the rainy gray, the gasoline rainbow in the puddles - and the coffee in the air traffic control shack... And for all these reasons, the name 'Airplane' for this underrated, beautiful scent seems perfectly fine to me.

Conclusion, which I - with Lehmann's L'Avion in my nose - can only hum along with:
'Above the clouds -
freedom must surely be limitless.
All fears, all worries, they say,
remain hidden below and then
what seems great and important to us
suddenly becomes insignificant and small.'

Green Zeppelin, gliding with a light trail of smoke over a spruce forest. Harry's fragrances are an experience and worth a trip to Berlin.

Double-decker lands in the field. Telluric symphony in brown earth tones and rich, juicy dark green. Rolls out floral-soapy and shimmering.

The view from the plane shows a green meadow: grass and flowers, earth and woods. A quirky and rugged green scent. Let's fly!

Over dark green pine forests, fields & soapy flower meadows, daring loops are flown and we sing:
Pilot, greet the sun for me..

Just glanced at the dark green hedge, overlooked the sweet shaving soap, and slipped headfirst into the flower bed. Special & old school.

Wow, it has a fantastic top note, my heart is drawn to it. Spicy, fresh-green, wonderfully retro. I can't believe something like this still exists!

Expectations: a lot of green, rather herbal
What I got: a floral meadow meets a bar of soap, clean-floral - but good! Reminds me of Oriza Legrand

Citrusy, herbaceous, lavender-like, slightly mossy, woody, floral, and a bit soapy. A complex old-school fougère of great class! Elegant!

Wrapped in delicate, fine silk paper, the spice flower soap "for good" (never opened, smells for years in the linen closet).

At first citrusy, then a green floral explosion, very classic. It's not immediately appealing, but over time you learn to love it.
