Synthetics and more
After receiving a sample of this creation, I started a test run on the same day. I was really expecting a lot, but everything I expected after reading the fragrance components faded like my skin in winter with the first breath after spraying it on.
After carefully spraying it on, a rancid, synthetic scent rises to my nose, which is in no way inferior to the scent of my tilted Bruno Banani Made for Men from 2011. There is also an astonishing resemblance to the aforementioned perfume in other respects. If you now add the strange sweet-synthetic heaviness of a James Bond 007 Ocean Royale, there would probably be no discernible difference to this fragrance. With one substantial difference. You pay 170 euros for the 100ml, not 19.95.
The top note starts rancid-synthetic-green with some pungency and an undefined fruitiness. After about 10 minutes, an almost conciliatory leather scent materializes from the rancid-synthetic, which almost goes in the direction of oud. At the same time, the sharpness of a woody-floral note fades. This, I assume, brings us to the base note. The difference between the top and heart notes is very small in general comparison. Over time, the heart note then becomes less and less green before becoming a touch more earthy in the base note. Here, too, the difference is barely noticeable. A very linear development for such an expensive fragrance. H/S above average.
If you appreciate green synthetics of the headache variety, you've come to the right place! For me, however, the perfume smells just like the drugstore fragrances with which I immersed myself in the olfactory world as an eight-year-old, and which I would rather place in the 10-15 euro price segment.
Nevertheless, it has something special...
