Time in New England

Boston - the largest city in New England. - So that's what it's supposed to smell like there?

Well, it almost had me now, because the start is nice, has a really green freshness thanks to petitgrain, but then comes this nasty note again, which I would like to attribute to a spice, but I can't name it. I've smelled it several times and it's always choked me up, what could it be? It was also in the Remix Cologne Edition 2018, the orange one, and although the fragrance notes don't foreshadow anything bad, it's still there.

The end of the story, I had to wash it off quickly, I couldn't stand it for five minutes. It really is a shame.

However, my confidant told me that it smells quite good, so I'll go on to him.

Ode to Orange. Song to the loam man

Orange. Almighty come down from the ether ...
To thy temple. Once built by Harry.
Back on Kantstrasse in West Berlin.
Where they bring scent offerings for the Parfumos.
Brew today still the cooling Colognes themselves
Quite without incense.
Juicy orange drips here. With green stuff shaded.
The tree all in, and even a little of earth.
That full of bliss, as soon as I briskly besplase, I catch freshness.
Over there. There in the meadow friends are frolicking.
Fumbling in the clover and in the ripening ears.
Sweet smells ohn flowers waft from the meadow
Here to me.
Goddess of the citric! Receive my bouquet of flowers.
Come and appear to us. Fill the orange bowls.
Mix thy freshness with greenwood and give us a
Heavenly joy.
------------
What Sappho breathed into me here as a muse, wants to say
Harry (or: Lutz) Lehmann has brewed a wonderfully orangy fresh cologne with 'Boston'; underpinned with green, woody and earthy notes. It actually feels, due to its tendency to unrefined rawness, as if simply (and the simple is known to be the hardest in art...) an orange grove with branches, stem and stump is being processed here. With style!
Sillage and durability remain colognetypisch moderate: few Handbreit it radiates and pleases us few hours.
The whole fits more in the rural or domestic garden-like area. It does not seem over-polished. At the same time it seems to me quite today, urban and understatement cool. Rather Berlin than Munich, I think.
It seems a little retro, but that's good.

(My thanks for inspiration and verse goes to the olle Sappho and her "Ode to Aphrodite"!)

Cologne instead of Corona, No. 17: Miami.

Mr. Lehmann's shop has, as I may report as a Berlin reporter for the Parfumo community, reopened, and his business has not suffered any significant damage due to the Corona crisis. He is more worried about the new allergen regulations, which have led to him reformulating my beloved "Linden Blossom" for the second time in a short period. It really almost breaks my heart because the original Linden Blossom is truly incredibly beautiful.

For hygiene reasons, it is currently not possible to approach the huge glass containers and sniff around the glass stoppers. However, Mr. Lehmann hands out paper strips with gloves, on which he has sprayed fragrances according to your wishes. The problem with masks remains. Everything is not easy at the moment. Besides some fragrances that I procured on behalf of an external perfume house, I had "Boston" on my agenda this time: a cologne that I had superficially tested in the store years ago, but had never delved into deeply. This needed to be caught up on in the context of this Cologne series.

"Boston" is indeed a classic cologne in terms of longevity, projection, and citrus notes, but it is decidedly anti-farinistic. The "lemon-bergamot-neroli-rosemary-lavender" quintessence is hardly present here. "Boston" is rather a (almost) pure orange cologne; and someone who enjoys such a thing will surely appreciate it greatly.

For me, the conscious, detailed testing of this fragrance was very enlightening in terms of a comprehensive mapping of the Lehmann fragrance universe. For instance, regarding its relationship to "Laguna" (in which I now also recognize the orange notes more clearly after this test, alongside the soapy-mineral fascination I have mentioned multiple times). And also regarding the differences to the Eau de Parfum "Orange." Aside from the enormous performance difference ("Orange" lasts all day for me), the radiant, almost purely filtered "Orange" relates to "Boston" like refined white granulated sugar to raw molasses: As other commentators before me have noted, not only the peel and seeds of the orange are present here, but also leaf green, twigs, and perhaps even a few roots with earth have been pulled into the bottle. In this respect, I can also understand the connection that Leporello makes to the Orange Vert line from Hermès, although the fragrance difference from Boston to the Hermès Concentré I know is indeed significant.

"Boston" is a fragrance I find appealing, and I can fully understand the enthusiastic comments and statements from Yatagan and Fittleworth. For orange lovers, it is definitely worth testing, especially since the 100-ml bottle (content + bottle) is currently available for 7 euros due to Mr. Lehmann's "Corona discount," and the substance can be repurposed as an effective hand sanitizer due to its 86% alcohol content if one does not like it. However, it doesn't resonate with me as it does with other Lehmann fans, so "Boston," without my being able to justify it further here, remains at 7.5 points.

Additionally, I can report that Mr. Lehmann has revealed to me that he will launch three new fragrances in the coming weeks. One of them is supposed to be a beautiful new men's fragrance named "Miami." I think this is actually the name that would have been appropriate for this fragrance here. Because, to my knowledge, Boston has nothing to do with oranges, but everyone who connects basic geographical knowledge (Miami = capital of Florida) with basic knowledge of the 70s

( https://www.erinnerstdudich.de/70er/florida-boy-orange/ )

knows that oranges and Miami are practically synonymous. But probably "Miami" will then smell like tea crates thrown into saltwater.
