Strawanza Wiener Schurken
2
A Successful Blind Buy
I've managed to get a few days wear our of my Strawanza after super quick delivery to the UK all the way from Vienna, Austria. This was one of my first ever fragrance blind buys, a decision I made after talking to Roman, one of the brains behind the fragrance (the other is his wife) who I can honestly say is a pleasant and enthusiastic fellow. I feel it's always important to support projects by passionate people and I speak from personal experience having received plenty of support from strangers when it came to releasing my fiction books a few years back. I was a bit apprehensive whilst waiting for my order seeing as I hadn't had a chance to test the smell but now it has arrived I can safely say it was a very good purchase despite the perceived risk.
Strawanza evokes in me images of when men were real men, and I can clearly see dapper gentlemen from the 40s/50s wearing this as they kick back in a smoky taproom after a hard day's labour. I believe the scent is a modernised take on a vintage, discontinued cologne from around that period and I can clearly imagine my grandfather wearing this in his heyday. I get warming clove at the initial application which dries down into something really earthy and peppery then develops into something fresh with a subtle mintiness. It's a masculine smell and usually my partner likes me in something less manly, but even she enjoyed this intriguing and unique fragrance.
Longevity is good for a cologne and I was still catching pleasing whiffs of Strawanza some five to six hours after I'd put it on. I wore it when out with friends yesterday and, even from a Covid-safe distance, I got a few compliments about how good I smelled. Roman, your creation is getting a lot of love over here in England!
It's probably natural to feel some apprehension when buying unknown brands or artisanal fragrances but if you fancy something made with a bucketload of love, passion, and effort, something a little bit different, something incredibly masculine, or something old school you could do much worse than trying Strawanza.
For me, this scent is a real winner and I'm glad I took a chance on it.
