Without tangerine and clover blossom he would have been great
During a first test on paper strips I found "Selection Men" quite interesting.
Therefore here is the test on your own skin:
It begins herbaceous-fresh and fresh. I get the impression of spiced tangerine. The silage is medium and unobtrusive. Up to here, it's not really mine
After 1.5 hours the mandarin is still the absolutely dominant note. But now a little nutmeg is added. It becomes more noble and even looks a bit leathery. I feel reminded of Encre Noire, which is not very positive. The silage is still good.
But I don't care about something green or even wooded, which I read about here.
After more than 5 hours the nutmeg gradually begins to triumph over the almighty mandarin and slowly transforms the fragrance into a pleasant and interesting scent. But that is much too late!
On katen days you can wear it. It is discreet and suitable for office use. But there is something missing and for me the tangerine is a bit of a nuisance. Without it it would have been really good for me. Besides, it looks too flowery for me in the decisive time window, which makes it too feminine for my taste.
Similar to Terre de Hermes, Davidoff Horizon and some others, this fragrance will be really good for me only in the later drydown. And just like the two fragrances mentioned above, this interesting scent is hidden by a penetrating and, in my opinion, superfluous fruit note.
Ergo: Too mandarin and too feminine. --> Not mine.
