Niche exotic with victim DNA
Passion Victim is a truly unique fragrance that lives up to its name. One word that aptly describes it from start to finish is "allure". Because at no point is there an olfactory image that is not capable of stimulating - in a positive sense. The fragrance notes, which I find very attractive, offer a spicy and slightly sweet experience throughout the fragrance - but always accompanied by citrusy, tart notes such as mandarin or smoky tones of incense. Always pleasing, but always demanding, always striking and simply... delightful. Passion Victim constantly subconsciously suggests the message "smell me again". As recently mentioned, this fragrance has its own individual DNA and definitely helps to attract attention. Passion Victim is a must-have or at least a must-try for advanced fragrance fans who don't want to please the masses and don't want to identify with boring, charmless crowdpleasers!

Summer must-have
As the headline suggests, this fragrance is essential for summer. Anyone who may have seen the ADG TV commercial can imagine the atmosphere of this perfume in exactly the same way. It opens fresh - very maritime - and does not lose its initial freshness, complemented by mandarin, in the drydown, in which the herbs slowly find their way in. In combination with the heart note, the base is almost reminiscent of moss, which is surrounded by crystallized salt and sand on the beach. To sum up, ADG can be described as an excellent, refreshing summer fragrance with good projection and its own, but not obtrusive character - it is a fragrance that should not be missing from any collection and an absolute recommendation to all masculine fragrance lovers!

Blackcurrant crackers
Cedrat Boise is a summer specialist. The opening begins with very intense blackcurrant, which is lightly accompanied by citrusy notes. If you didn't know the fragrance notes, you could almost interpret this fragrance as a musky accord in the first few moments - but only almost. The drydown makes this misinterpretation less and less likely, and the leather-moss combination and the still prominent citrus-currant duo crystallize towards the end. Finally, woody notes slowly join in, slowly, very slowly replacing the blackcurrant. The sillage is medium, the price level - as is usual with Mancera - is solid and the result is a really recommendable overall impression, with which you can definitely attract attention in a positive sense in the first one or two hours after application!

Harmony at its best
This fragrance by Filippo Sorcinelli is unusual for my taste. Normally, one is used to a borderline mentality with his ultra-fragrances, which have extremely strong sillage and self-confident fragrance notes as a base, which make his creations unique. With Scusami, this is somewhat different. The fragrance notes are gentle and harmonize perfectly with each other. The perfect blend of sweetness, fruit and floral notes go wonderfully well with the base notes that subtly emerge in the drydown. A fragrance without any disruptive elements that opens with a citrusy-sweet note, then becomes slightly fruity and finally melts quickly into a creamy overall composition. For those who would like to try Filippo Sorcinelli and take a gentle approach, this really pleasing, enticing niche fragrance with a rather subtle sillage (by Sorcinelli standards) is a top recommendation!

Brilliant fragrance
This fragrance has everything you could wish for - with one small caveat: it is not a seducer... But it is uniquely fresh, spicy with brilliantly used pepper and basil, not biting but modern, harmonious and, in my opinion, unrivaled in this way to date. In my opinion, there is no comparable fragrance to date.
Bois Imperial gives the impression of being a synthetic bore, but far from it. Synthetics are not perceptible here. What is particularly remarkable about this fragrance is the price-performance ratio - especially in terms of sillage. One spray was still clearly perceptible after more than 12 hours. A niche fragrance recommendation to all!
