The black currant fragrance of the black currant fragrances
I've known this scent since before my perfume days. It was part of the best Advent calendar I've ever had - 24 lovingly selected samples, packed together with chocolates in small colourful fabric bags. The chocolates were eaten quickly, the scent samples accompanied me for almost a year.
I think that's how I got to Parfumo in the first place.
"Cassis" was one of my favorites from the calendar. It was clear that I would always pay attention when I read somewhere here: the scent smells of black currant. "Enchanted Forest" found its way into my collection, but not first because of the black Johanna, who is also in there.
But it couldn't be that the first black currant scent is also the best. There's got to be something else, right? - No, not so far.
This is because in countless scents black currants are listed as a scent - but then you can smell something indefinably berry-fruity, which has nothing to do with the unmistakable scent of real black currants.
In other scents that I've tested, there's cassis already, but either not dominant enough or combined with other notes that don't fit me so well. Or a kind of black currant, which lacks freshness and juice, which only have a dried concentrate.
It's true what Ergoproxy wrote here in his statement: In the "Cassis" all aspects of the currant bush are present:
- The juicy tart acidity of fresh black currants with the delicate touch of a slightly bitter tannin note.
- The green of the leaves on the shrub, which have nothing sweet between the fingers grated.
- The wood that has the scent of the fruit in it when chopped, but more spicy, more severe, slightly resinous.
One of my favorite scents. And Mr. Pritzkoleit wants to hire him. His website says he's still around for Christmas, not after. I hope he writes it every year for marketing purposes and doesn't mean it so seriously. Because from my point of view he would abolish the best of his scents.
So test him before it's too late! Or tell me a better one!
