I didn't know this brand until recently and stumbled upon it quite by chance on Königsallee in Düsseldorf.
I love it when fragrances captivate me right from the first test. That's how it was with 12 | Twelve. I want to try to describe the scent. In my opinion, it falls into the category of perfumes that are not necessarily perceived as such. Fresh laundry but not as intense or "sharp" as, for example, The Muse. It could be a high-quality skincare product that you smell. Fluffy, freshly showered, moisturized, close to the body. And here comes my personal drawback with this fine perfume.
It projects very poorly; I have to spray several times to enjoy it for a bit longer. After a few hours, the scent is only very subtly noticeable. At a price of just under €40 for the 10ml travel spray, it's an expensive pleasure. Otherwise, I could just reapply here and there.
Iso E Super is less intense here than in Molecule 01, but it blends very well with the other notes and gives the scent that special kick.
12 | Twelve has a truly beautifully soft, unobtrusive, fresh character with a monothematic progression. I would have been completely convinced if it weren't for the miserable longevity.
Whether I will go for the large bottle in this case, I don't know yet.
I feel completely differently about 6 | Six. It projects well, and the blend of sweet vanilla and oud is also very successful. A brand that I will definitely keep an eye on.
