Laurel Circle
No, we are not the only victims, always falling for the big names. Sometimes, great perfumes also become victims of their oversized namesakes. Alain Delon, for example. What would you expect from a guy like that? I would instantly hide my daughter (if I had one) in the air raid shelter (if I had one) if this guy rolled up to my grand ducal farm (which I don’t have) in his probably overpowered, high-gloss polished, checkbook-maintained fantasy vehicle and asked for a glass of cool mineral water, which I would have willingly given him. - But not handed over by my daughter, no, certainly not by her.
Alain Delon, then. Really not my role model.
The scent is set, meanwhile fetching astronomical prices on Earth. (Here, for the occasion, a little excursion: Even when considering the worst excesses of the exploitation of great, past, rare brands: Gucci pour Homme, Patou pour Homme, Background by Sander, Alain Delon Classique, and whatever else, it is rarely just 1:1 or 1:1.5 (so 1ml=1€ etc.), and thus still well below the mid-range of niche averages - in other words: all of this is below the prices one has to pay at sharings, at souks, and elsewhere). Such considerations are not important. What matters is: here a man has established his own line. And it is not driven by testosterone-octane, but determined by an absolutely unique, exemplary-free, and inimitable style. I would call it: the Laurel style.
Laurel style? In "Alain Delon Plus": Laurel and bread. In "Alain Delon Classique": Laurel plus…. In "Iquitos": Laurel and rose. Etc. I have no conclusive thesis about the ladies' fragrances; I don’t know them well enough.
Laurel, then… Aha. But it doesn’t appear in the pyramid at all… Yes, certainly. The reverse conclusion is valid: most of what appears in the pyramid does not appear in the scent (as so often), but in any case not "her" forward. Anyway…
Laurel garden - that’s how I would describe AD-Plus: as a walk through a spice garden. Above all lies laurel (we’ve already established that) and each step in this garden brings forth a different facet of herbs. They intertwine like a kitchen dance yet are still open air and nature and landscape. I am not the man to describe the ingredients. But: I enjoy spending time in this garden. It also accompanies me in the city, underground in the subway, amidst the throng of people and glass and steel. A sniff at the wrist and there is really only one question left: "Monsieur Maitre - where is the way to the air raid shelter?…"
A matter for machos, certainly, but where would you ever find a super macho in a herb garden? *grins* But just be careful, higher daughters, the next time you get into a Ferrari and it smells of laurel… *surrender*
