New Orleans Soul Joterc 2023

The opening somewhat reminds me of Kirke. Not 1:1 but a fruit mix, like there, I perceive here as well. The mango is in the foreground. The other fruits accompany it, making the mango seem a bit washed out. Plum is completely missing for me, or it gets lost in the mix. After 60 minutes, I'm still stuck in the top note. The fruits are now a bit overripe. Nutmeg, saffron, sandalwood...huhu, where are you? I somehow miss the entire heart note. The fruits are now no longer fresh sweet, but slightly fermented, a bit darker. That's the only difference from the top note. Oud (thankfully) is also not present, I would smell it, believe me. There is also zero, really zero animalic notes in here.
Well, what else should I write? This is a scent that starts off fresh fruity, then becomes just fruity. It's nothing groundbreaking new. Kirke and Oud Maracuja already embody this DNA. The pyramid promised an interesting journey. That was definitely not the case, making it somewhat disappointing.
Definitely suitable for both genders, with a slight lean towards the feminine. Best suited for summer or warm spring days. Since I only had a sample, I won't rate the bottle. The sillage is not overwhelming, but you are well perceived at first. The longevity of just over 4 hours is also not very impressive.
I wouldn't buy it because it's nothing special, but that's always a matter of taste.
