The Language of Alpine Flowers
I still remember well the first day I wore Fleur Alpine.
It was a cold, clear day in the mountains, not in South Tyrol, but in Hamburg.

I sprayed the fragrance on before I went outside. Immediately, this bittersweet veil of chocolate and damp moss filled the air as if someone had forgotten a cup of cocoa in the middle of a mountain pasture. Then, with each step over the dew-kissed meadows, the flowers began to reveal themselves: edelweiss, hiding like a little secret among the stones, and an inconspicuous red orchid, whose scent traveled softly on the wind.

The path led me higher up, and at some point, the fragrance seemed to become one with the landscape. The fresh, almost minty coolness of the air blended with the creamy warmth of the base notes, and for a moment, I felt as if my childhood stood before me, barefoot over summer meadows, with chocolate stains on my T-shirt, while somewhere strawberries were ripening.

Later, when I stood in a garden, the scent had almost become part of my skin. No longer a perfume, but a memory that I carried of a time that never fully returns, but lives on in Fleur Alpine.
My conclusion:
Fleur Alpine is for me like an entire day in the Alps, captured in a single bottle. It begins with that clear, green breath of the morning, when the sun is just rising over the mountain peaks and edelweiss, fresh citrus leaves, and the rare Nigritella orchid fill the air. Then come the warm hours of the day, when white flowers and wild strawberries flash like small, forgotten childhood moments-sweet, but never too loud. And finally, when evening falls, the warmth of dark chocolate and cedarwood envelops me like a blanket in front of the fireplace. It is not a simple fragrance, but a journey-one that brings me back again and again to where the air is thin, the light is soft, and the memories are clearer than anywhere else.

Brunelle in the Bottle - floral, sweet (synthetic) chocolate, fresh clean man - one of the better TNBs
Solid, third flower-centered release from Herbert. Intense, but also boring floral gourmand - progression. One of the better 'Nose Behind's for a very specialized target group at a good €€€ price.

Two years after the last release, Herbert Stricker has fulfilled one of his dreams with Fleur Alpine: to preserve the alpine orchid "Nigritella" in perfume form, bringing the flower into the here and now even outside of South Tyrol. To achieve this, he chose not just any perfumer, but one who also knows the flower: the Swiss Andreas Wilhelm.

That the scent has captivated Herbert should be clear - but what about an 'average Joe' who just wants to test the latest TNB release and see how "Herbert Stricker" and "gourmand floral scent" fit together? ;-)

- After spraying:
Fleur Alpine starts with an intense, enveloping sea of flowers and a hint of sweetness (strawberry and/or is that already the chocolate?) in the background. A certain freshness makes it appear very clean. Essentially, a floral-fresh-sweet clean man opening.
In the background, there is a note that I personally find rather unpleasant. Based on the pyramid, it must be the cumin. This contributes at times a slightly urinous, sweaty note. Fortunately, you have to really sniff to catch a whiff of it. Thankfully, it remains rather 'closed'.

- After 30 minutes:
By now, it has become clear that the sweetness in the scent comes from the chocolate. It is very present, easily noticeable, but has a synthetic touch.
The chocolate note reminds me of that from Symphonium.

The cumin has thankfully almost completely disappeared - thank God.

The FA radiates quite well. I don't even need to get close to my arm - even 20cm above, you can perceive it strongly!

- 1 hour after spraying:
Sweet floral bloom with slightly fermented rose combined with synthetic-sweet chocolate and a minimal wood twist. By the way: "Wood" is actually nowhere to be found in Fleur Alpine. It is supposed to be a homage to a flower... ;-)

- 1.5 hours:
Straightforward, boring progression. The sweetness is now pushing a bit more forward and has reached the peak of synthetic sweetness. This piercing synthetic combined with a sea of flowers makes up the hour and a half to the second hour of the scent.

- After 3 hours:
Longevity and sillage have (significantly) decreased. But: It still radiates a bit. So, we can't yet talk about it being "over". Pleasantly, the chocolate sweetness, which is pushed synthetically, has noticeably decreased in the last hour. This benefits the overall scent progression, as it now smells much more balanced.

Overall, however, the drydown is rather uncreative: everything just becomes "fainter", remaining true to the original notes. This is probably absolutely intentional, as it is meant to represent this alpine flower for as long as possible :D

- After 4 hours:
'Synthetic strikes back', but unfortunately not so great. An hour ago, I thought I could prepare for "Now nothing more is coming, it will get quieter, just everything fainter", but the last 60 minutes took an unpleasant turn - due to the synthetic sweetness.

"Light floral notes with chocolate synthetic" could be summarized.

- From hour 6 until the end (about 9-10 hours):
NOW is the time when all remaining ingredients become just fainter. Calm returns, no more developments.
What you have to give credit to the scent: Very (!) many perfumes end up transitioning into a kind of "sweet wood base". But that is not the case with Fleur Alpine. I can still smell flowers on the spray spot on my arm all the way to the very last twitch. Very interesting, because atypical.

############

Conclusion:
I have tested all (though... I skipped the "Killing Fresh | The Nose Behind!") Nose Behinds. Some are indeed more mass-appealing in the niche - many are not. Fleur Alpine will also only appeal to a more niche target group. You really have to be into this flower-synthetic-chocolate sweetness. Or simply be a mega fan of the orchid.

For me, the "flower from the Alps" is nothing. This is not only because I see it more for women than for men, but also simply because I don't know on what occasions I would empty the large 100ml bottle.
Overspray should be avoided with this TNB, otherwise the room will turn into a sea of flowers. The very intrusive kind.

What is worth noting, however, is: Even if it is just a decent average for me, it is one of the better The Nose Behind releases. And what particularly pleases me: That Herbert was able to realize another (scent) dream. It’s actually a really nice story behind the perfume, isn’t it!?

The herbal edelweiss is overwhelmed by chocolatey, floral, powdery, and spicy notes; what remains is a very synthetic impression.

Mrs. Yeti must have smelled like this. Indolic Christmas flowers behind her furry ears and a splash of Chanel in the musty fur.

Rare species: Elegant, unsweet gourmand, very special. Dark chocolate is contrasted by green-fresh notes and flowers. Fine!

Instead of alpine, floral chocolate bliss, just unpleasant chocolate synthetic. I didn't encounter the Alps with this niche.

The flowers would be so beautiful if it weren't for that stinky cowpat chocolate. Unfortunately, it's not for me at all.

Bouquet of freshly cut flowers. White blooms everywhere from the first spray. Not overly sweet. Unisex, slightly feminine. I love it.

Awakens childhood memories
A warm summer day in a flower meadow,
with berries, laughter & delicious chocolate.
That's pure nostalgia...

Photorealistic flowers, I can almost feel the pollen sticking to my nose. A bit of chocolate too, surprisingly fits well!

Stable flowers with thick, hairy stems, pulsing with plant sap, sucking in rich chocolate. Synthetic, but powerful.

Very special and I've never smelled anything like it: white flowers, slightly soapy with a hint of chocolate. Quite ladylike and fresh, well done.
