Pleasing crowd and self-pleaser
Yesterday in the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle in the Swedish furniture store for a piece of basement furniture, it once again struck me how much fragrances are also subject to fashion fluctuations. Over-projecting oud, tonka and amber fragrances can now be smelled on every corner at the end of 2023, often in an overdose and often of presumably inferior quality, pungent and sometimes almost corrosive to the nose. Although there are also expensive hype fragrances that don't amuse me at all when I'm trapped in a cramped elevator, such as Alexandria II, but that's another story.
So I wander through the well-populated furniture canyons, struggling for breath every now and then when I am exposed to the same variations of the same fashion fragrances in the same overdose. I don't want this kind of hammer sillage, I silently scream. This blatant divergence between decidedly inconspicuous, quiet clothing and a loud, pungent fragrance is striking to the eyes and ears. Why can't guys turn the tables and attract attention in the furniture store with a Scottish kilt or a pink latex costume and instead come up with a quieter and less aggressive scent? It's just damn difficult to smell away in certain situations, isn't it?
I could recommend this fragrance here. It's inexpensive, stands on its own, certainly doesn't correspond to any current fashion trend and is therefore almost a statement. It received its last review 9 years ago, and it does not deserve this disregard. The tart freshness of the fragrance puts you in a good mood, it is slightly citrusy, a little spicy and, thanks to vetiver, also a little green. The progression is fairly linear, the sillage and longevity are average, and the price is unbeatable. I can wear this light, yet not under-complex, pleasant and appealing fragrance anywhere, for sports, in the office, but also in the evening or under the Christmas tree. The latter can then also exude its own aura without a sillage hammer mercilessly outshining the fine pine scent. And I would argue that it doesn't bother people, but leaves behind a sense of fresh comfort. And that's not such a bad thing.
