Château Philipp Schlossparfumerie Wolff & Sohn Stuttgart 2001

Last year, during one of my purchases at the Schlossparfümerie Stuttgart, I received a sample of Chateau Philipp as a bonus. On that day, I bought "Ombre Indigo" and "Le Vetiver" by Lubin, my first fragrances outside of the mainstream. Therefore, in my excitement over the new scents, I forgot about the samples of CP and also "Riviera Sport" (a fresh-woody, elegant fragrance) and "P-100 Jubilée".

Recently, they resurfaced, and I tested them:

These and other fragrances are produced by M. Micaleff for the SP. Some of them are slightly streamlined or no longer available scents from the Micaleff collection.

CP was - I was told - created according to the specifications of Phillip Wolff.

It starts with an explosion of top notes, consisting of hesperides, herbs (here rosemary and plenty of coriander), and lavender.
This is then additionally supported in the heart note by geranium and stronger jasmine. Altogether, this results in a very strong presence.
The base rounds off this fragrance, which consists of almost too many ingredients, with woody notes (sandalwood and cedar), coniferous notes, and patchouli.

For those who have been reading carefully and possess olfactory imagination, you now know what this fragrance reminds you of, no, what it must remind you of:

DRAKKAR NOIR

one of the quite successful hits from the 70s, for which Guy Laroche was known. However, it must be noted that CP comes across as significantly finer and more elegant and does not have that herbal shower gel note of DN after the reformulation. Anyone wanting more information can visit the Drakkar Noir page

Genre: More elegant copy of Drakkar Noir

For: Naturally men with chest hair and mustaches, what else?

Sillage and longevity: Strong and 8-10 hours

Status: Certainly not the best from the Schlossparfümerie line, I recommend testing P-100 Jubilée

A very nice scent made in the style of CP with incense and oud in a classic-modern orientation

The fragrances are, to my knowledge, only available in Stuttgart.
