Aqua Allegoria e Zucchero
Even with Opalgrau, the name could not be better chosen. The scent is shimmering and colorful like a dragonfly or indeed an opal. This fresh and delicate musk fragrance absolutely matches my fragrance direction.
At first, I am reminded of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria, which may have even served as inspiration for Martin. I don't know for sure. Reminiscence's Mandarine Fraiche also comes to mind, because just like that one, Opalgrau has a slight salty aquatic note that occasionally wafts up to the nose, especially in the first hours. Unfortunately, for me, this is a tiny little annoyance, as I generally don't get along well with aquatics and anything that leans towards Calone & Co. However, this does not detract from this beautiful scent at all. It's just my personal taste.
Anyone looking for a perfect summer vacation scent will surely find it quickly with this Mediterranean opal. The citrus and salty aquatic notes truly evoke thoughts of the sea. A fresh breeze blows, the waves roar, a bit of salt settles on the skin, and everywhere there are blooms and fragrances. Because floral notes don't take long to appear here either. And if someone is still missing a bit of sunscreen for the perfect vacation dream in the south, they will find it delivered in the base at the latest. Soft amber, vanilla, and musk notes, along with a perfectly balanced tonka bean that never annoys, round off this gem. I can't help but think a bit of Profumum Roma's Acqua e Zucchero. And even though Opalgrau is certainly not an orange blossom scent like that one, I still see quite a few similarities.
And not only is Opalgrau beautiful. On the other hand, this morning I also had Malachitgrau, another one of Martin's scents. Both are calm, rather delicate, simple, and just beautiful. No overwhelming synthetic notes that unfortunately often annoy me in modern compositions, just wonderful perfume, a bit like in the past. Neither is necessarily room-filling, and the longevity is not extreme, but that doesn't have to be the case for me at all. Quite the opposite. I enjoy wearing a perfume while still being able to perceive all the surrounding scents well.
Hats off, dear Martin. Keep it up!
