Orange Flamingo Marc Gebauer 2021

So. The hype is there, that much is clear. The performance is praised, that much is clear. But is it really "ONE OF THE BEST SUMMER FRAGRANCES OUT THERE"? Spoiler alert: Just kidding, I won’t spoil it, keep reading and leave some trophies. I received the fragrance at the beginning of May for my birthday and have now taken my time (six weeks) to really test it. Honestly, my very first thought after applying it was: "Wow, how nice, Mommy's hair conditioner. This smells as clean and well-groomed as Mommy when I hug her." Don’t ask me how I know what Mom's hair conditioner smells like. Sometimes you have to see where you stand when the 60-cent Balea shampoo runs out. Are there huge changes throughout the day? Any sweet or fresh developments here or there? Not really. The scent usually departs just as it greeted someone. Namely fresh and orangey. The orange note gives it a very strong recognizability. So you definitely don’t smell like the already known "freshly showered/freshly washed" scents. On Friday evening, I hugged about 15 people a little longer and more intimately due to a joyful occasion with my boys (yes, such things can happen to me too). More than half of the people (there were eight or nine) gave me almost the same compliment: Something like "Wow, you smell beautiful," "You smell very fresh and summery." I even caught some of them moving their noses closer to my neck and inhaling deeply and relaxed. There we are again with the relaxed and soothing "Mommy's fresh hair" feeling. Longevity well above average, I believe you can't get much more with summery notes. Sillage is the same. I hope I could convey the feeling of the orange flamingo a little. If you have the spare change, go for it. If you don’t treat yourself to a trophy, may your sleeves slip into the water while washing your hands. Best regards, TT7
