Vienna Calling - Hiniche Perfume for Hiniche Leud
After a long silence and stillness on my part, I now write again a comment on a fragrance that has surprised me very much
To the prehistory around the fragrance:

1. I had him not really on the screen. I have seen him only briefly at another friendly Parfumo, when he had sent me a picture via Whatsapp. Since I liked the look of the OVP already very much, however, the fragrance is then by the everyday stress a little lost in my thoughts.
2. I got the fragrance now as a surprise gift from my worthy Parfumofreund. This Parfumo has long since become not only a Parfumofreund, but just also in real life a good buddy.
(In this sense I would like to thank also simply again with all nice Parfumos, which I learned to know over the time here. However, a special thanks goes to 3 Parfumo's who have become real friends and with whom I have really regular contact in private: Scentennial, PallasCC & Caligaria)
3. Has the fragrance really just very surprised me.

And now back to the actual topic, the fragrance:

Wiener Schurken is a small label that as the name suggests comes from Austria. By the way, I like the Austrian rogues much better than the rogues from America. (Rogue Perfumery) Sure, the label from Austria has only one fragrance, whereas Rogue already has much more up their sleeve. Both of them nevertheless focus on the vintage style of their fragrance. Here, however, Vienna is clearly ahead. In terms of price and quality, the Viennese are clearly better in my eyes. But these are just my thoughts, everyone can make up their own mind. The "EdC" of the Viennese rogues makes a significantly better figure on my skin, as the fragrances of Rogue.
Durability etc.

Zack and again too far digressed, now but nund finally the fragrance :

Strawanza definitely shows its vintage characteristics/roots, but so should a fragrance that advertises a traditional 1953 formula.

Now some will say, "1953? The fragrance can only smell stale."
Wrong, in my nose he just does not seem at all stale.

The fragrance opens with a pleasant fresh opening. I suspect that this comes from the mixture of menthol and pepper. Relatively results in the fragrance a fine spice , I perceive the clove. This plays really nicely with the menthol and pepper. If you give the fragrance a few more minutes to unfold, it becomes noticeably woodier. The freshness flattens out but remains detectable in the background. Musk comes into play and gives the whole composition a slight "creaminess". This has almost something of a noble shaving foam and I mean that in no way negative. Often vintage fragrances are also compared with soap, of which the whole is far away.
Strawanza is a gentleman fragrance. A barbershop fragrance, which times a different path than the typical lavender Fougeré and convinced in addition still with a strong Perfomance for a Edc.

In this sense:
Pomade in the hair, Strawanza spray on, frock put on and off before the door ;)

Barbershop-scent times different
The fragrance is based on a nearly 70 year old recipe. The freshness of menthol combined with the pungency of pepper and clove form the spicy opening of this eau de colognes. As the fragrance progresses, Strawanza becomes much woodier, warmer and pleasantly sweet towards the end. This is mainly due to oud, cedar wood, patchouli and tonka bean in the heart and base notes. I like the scent process quite well. At first it reminded me of a barbershop scent, but it lacks the soapy-creamy note that is often used too much. I find this very convenient.

A very successful woody-spicy fragrance with the lightness of an eau de colognes and the durability of an eau de toilette concentration. Because with a performance of more than 7 hours on my skin, it is an exception among the Eau de Colognes for me.

A great all-rounder for all seasons.

A touch of nostalgia
Strawanza is a fresh, woody old-school scent and a perfume that makes little boys burn their fingers. A product that is still classically produced in a manufactory in Insbruck. The attention to detail is already noticeable in the hand-packed presentation. The art design, the name everything is top notch in my eyes. The Eau de Cologne begins with a spicy, slightly peppery accord and clove, and it also has subtle green touches. The menthol seems very balanced and provides a pleasant cooling effect. In the further course of the fragrance becomes a little warmer and a slight sweetness spreads. In the dry-down the notes are pulled together a bit, the warmth is still present but is carried on a modern cedar wood base. Despite the old original recipe, the fragrance never seems to get old. Overall, the woody base provides a clean, slightly sharp and masculine finish. The Eau de Cologne has a good shelf life of six to seven hours and a moderate aura. The perfume is priced at 59€ for 100ml.
-----------------------
Conclusion: Whoever is looking for a barbershop fragrance without lavender will find it with Strawanza. A beautiful and handcrafted great old school fragrance. The perfume is also wonderfully suitable as an after shave. Performance is for an Eau de Cologne ???.

Woody peppery fresh
... this is the best way to describe the STRAWANZA fragrance for me. Since I myself also come from Austria, I simply had to try this fragrance and I was not disappointed. Due to the special mixture with menthol, the Eau de Cologne has a unique character that I have never seen before. In any case it is a very masculine scent. Immediately after spraying it on, the top notes of pepper, clove, menthol and patchouli are very noticeable. Afterwards musk and cedar wood are very present. In the drydown the scent develops a very pleasant warm and spicy scent on the skin. I perceive the scent for about 6 hours, which is quite ok for an Eau de Cologne. The packaging carton is very stylish and the spray bottle itself was also lovingly wrapped with green tissue paper and golden cord. The price is acceptable for a small brand, where the product is not industrially manufactured, but filled by hand.

A totally successful comeback mixed with more modern facets
I came across this fragrance by chance and I am not really fond of barbershop fragrances. But this one is different. Well done, round and appealingly unique.

The formulation is said to be old, but you won't notice it in the fragrance. Woody, fresh,... The menthol is noticeable, refreshing when sprayed. The performance of the EDC was better than expected. Also the Sillage is well perceptible for several hours.

All in all a fragrance that is easy to wear and the price-performance ratio is absolutely fair. You have to consider that it is even "handmade".

Definitely test it!

Fougère with a soft and refreshing menthol, spiced with pepper, with cedarwood and an herbaceous patchouli in the base. Woody, green, manly.

It's a very unique scent of wood & spice blended with menthol. It lasts very long for an EdC (around 4-6 hours). Awesome barbershop scent!
