My first impression
About the fragrance
This fragrance really surprised me. It is a slightly soapy lavender scent that is reminiscent of a barbershop. With its 19% oil content, the fragrance remains light and airy. At least after the first spray, it doesn't seem like a particularly strong fragrance to me. The name "Killer Instinct" is not what I had in mind, but the description "men's fragrance for the office/business" still fits.
I hope that the fragrance performs well as I am used to this from Marc Gebauer and feel quite comfortable with it. But I suspect that this one will be the weakest of the bunch. Note: weakest doesn't always mean weak, especially with this brand. Nevertheless unusual.
The only comparisons I can think of right now are Amber pour Homme Eau de Toilette and Silver Marble. Silver Marble is perhaps a little closer, as Prada is already a powerhouse. But I also have to mention that I'm not very familiar with barbershop fragrances.
As I write these lines, Killer Instinct is becoming increasingly woody and intense. It retains its soft lavender note. After my first 10 minutes with the fragrance, I am in a positive mood.
One day later
Unfortunately, I realized that the fragrance does not perform well. I wore about 15 sprays yesterday. After I went to the hairdresser, I only smelled the inexpensive Colognia, which was sprayed on me a few times. unfortunately, Killer Instinct became completely invisible. That's a shame, especially because I otherwise really like the fragrance.
But it's also possible that I'm simply scent-blind with this fragrance. I also have that with Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum or Layton, for example. I simply can't smell them, even though they are very strong. This is a very unusual assumption, but I find it even harder to imagine that Marc Gebauer would release a fragrance called KILLER INSTINCT that is only perceptible for 1 hour.
Two days later
Unfortunately, I could not perceive any improvement. In the meantime, some statements and reviews have already been received on Parfum. Without wanting to sound derogatory, I suspect that these are "fanboys". Unfortunately, the performance is really bad. I showed the fragrance to two friends and they had the same impression.
To the axe
As it was of course a gift, I won't be critical but simply give my observations neutrally. First of all, it is really big and the head weighs 1.6 kg. So it's quite a massive piece. The wall bracket seems sturdy, but I would still be afraid to hang it up. If it were to fall down, it would definitely break the floor. This thing is a killer instrument Wink
Unfortunately, my copy has the problem that the letters simply peel off and fall off. That's a shame, of course, and doesn't help the impression of quality.
