Absolutely right!
Isn't it delightful that the free forces of the market sometimes deliver extremely positive results?
Mäurer & Wirtz does not deny the molecular advancements of fragrance materials in recent years. No. Quite the opposite, the company cautiously ventured into refreshing the mainstay of the men's segment with the congenial Tabac Original Black Edition.
And so it is no surprise that the present fragrance responds to the eager demand for a new Fougère.
It was about time!
Apparently, I was allowed to play pioneer in the forum and was the first to acquire the scent.
After wearing it several times, I hope to describe this pleasant companion reasonably well.
For this, I will forgo the nomenclature of known molecules and focus on the scent impression.
To begin with, there was no skimping on citrus components.
Sizzle!
Haha, a more than familiar 1993 vibe wafts towards me.
Pleasantly relaxed, citrusy-spicy, and slightly fruity-juicy. The fresh bergamot, the spicy juniper berry, and the herbaceous woodiness deliver on their promises.
This was similarly true for Platinum Égoïste Eau de Toilette. However, the Indy character of that 1990s fragrance lingers quite a while in the present S.Oliver scent for a top note.
Skeptics lose patience too early and condemn the fragrance to the changing room of any sport.
Throwing in the towel so early?
Not with me!
I let the toned bergamot do its thing until it gives out; it can't keep junipering forever.
And lo and behold, it slowly becomes pleasantly refined.
A floral wrapping of lavender invites you to the heart of this Fougère.
Of course, coumarin must not be missing, nor a citrusy-rosy secondary note.
I will get to the listed freesia later, as here the cat is sold for the hare.
Once the fruitiness of the top note has settled, which takes quite a while, the nose can perceive subtler impressions.
I have already mentioned the heart of lavender, but it becomes exciting thanks to the current chemistry.
Well calculated and carefully dosed, the woods, primarily cedar with a hint of sandalwood, remain softly rounded.
And a beautiful, green-grassy patchouli replaces the otherwise classic base of oak moss.
So, no moss.
And yet so successfully green with a spicy kick of black pepper.
I call that successful!
Everything fits together, the grasses, the wood, the pepper.
And now to the identity-confused freesia.
I get a lovely lilac instead of the white flower.
Yes, indeed, violet summer lilac with a herbaceous charm.
Thus, the fragrance will also quietly say goodbye.
Congenial patchouli, softly ambried woods, and herbaceous summer lilac.
So completely different from the long-lasting citrus top note.
Mitparfumo Stulle hinted at a certain kinship with Tabac Man Eau de Toilette. Indeed, there are overlaps towards the end of the fragrance's progression.
Perhaps it is due to the spicy herbal tonka bean.
What is strikingly brilliant is the green, lovely design of the patchouli.
At first, the fragrance is quite potent, a typical feature of an Eau de Toilette.
But the sillage decreases quite quickly, yet remains pleasantly noticeable.
So, anyone wanting to smell a bit more discreetly is well served here.
The longevity is surprisingly long; however, after a few hours, you need to sniff quite close to the skin to still enjoy the fragrance.
The bottle is absolutely solid for this price range.
The cap is attached to a hinge and closes perfectly with a press.
A small hint of the discreet lilac is offered by the dark glass. It shifts between black and lilac violet depending on the light.
So, anyone looking for a decent fragrance for little money will be helped here.
It wears so incredibly lightly and without much thought about what to wear.
Report on the field trial:
Recently, I was doing leg presses at the gym and was thus stuck in this silly sitting position.
How fitting that nice fellow trainees sneaked up to me to beautifully tear apart political and economic topics.
Of course, stuck, I nodded or shook my head, driven by sweat, and only noticed a nose for scent on my neck late, as I could hardly turn around in this position.
The mentioned nose grinned and gave a thumbs up while fading away.
So, no more approval is needed.
