El Discréto
I actually thought there wasn't much to say about Springfield. A rich, full, dark, almost heavy, so to speak shiny, beautifully balanced citrus scent, whatever it is: pomerans, bergamots, chinotto, possibly all together, and the whole thing embedded in a wonderful green, wherever it comes from, perhaps there's galbanum at play. Despite its seemingly simple composition, it is a distinctive and easily recognizable, very masculine scent, suitable for any occasion not just in summer, solid like oak wood or a Mercedes-Benz, even if it might not be particularly modern or overly sexy. I rated the fragrance 8.5 points and have enjoyed wearing it repeatedly. That was the status of my statement here.
However, events have cascaded that make this friend and copper engraver appear in a new light, not exactly shady (if so, then in an admiring sense), but rather ambiguous, mischievous, worldly, almost sly.
It all started with the nice comment from Parma, who successfully undertook the detective work of breaking down the individual fragrance notes. And behold, there is much more than suspected: Indeed, it’s hard to believe, we not only have dark orange pomerans on dark green grass, but there are also (and if you know it, you can smell it) spices and various flowers!
The next day, inspired by this, I wore it again and observed something wonderful. A very attractive colleague praises the scent, excited, enthusiastic, not just once, but multiple times. And she has such a sparkle in her eyes. Of all people, you, comrade Springfield, a ladykiller? I am perplexed.
The surprises continue: “Wow," she says, "this is really good! And it reminds me a bit of CK One!” Since I have come to understand that Springfield is good for surprises, I don’t say “that can’t be,” I don’t even think it, but I check. And indeed, CK One is listed here (among others) with the fragrance notes of nutmeg, jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose, practically (except for the substitution of rose with geranium) exactly the same ones that Parma detected in Springfield. This Lehmann really has something up his sleeve (the colleague, not an experienced nose, apparently also recognized this relationship!).
In parentheses, it should be noted that CK One, with 6.6 points, is severely underrated in my opinion. It may be that some have become oversaturated with this once ubiquitous scent over time and are now harshly rating this former icon. I don’t see it that way and instead share the view of many esteemed fellow perfumistas, such as treasure hunters, who give this modern classic top marks: It was and remains simply good! Therefore, the newly discovered Springfield relationship is no reason to value Lehmann any less. On the contrary. By the way, it remains an absolutely independent scent; it is much more organic in juice and power than the somewhat ethereal, fresh-bright Thierry water from back then.
Still amazed by the effect of Lehmann on the charming colleague, I read the statements and comments here on Parfumo once again and discovered that Master Yatagan, to whom no scent in this galaxy is unknown, actually gave this candidate the highest rating of 10. When I asked him about it, he wrote to me that in his perception, Springfield has a barely noticeable, delicate animalistic base that makes the scent so fascinating.
The good old, solid green citrus scent is a subtly animalistic seducer with violet-nutmeg appeal and a world star in its family! Thus, a Father Brown proves to be a Baltasar Gracián! Heavily impressed, I raise my rating.
