Strawanza Wiener Schurken

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 ;)
