Alebe

I can only counter the charming and mysterious reviews of the previous speakers with one simple word:
Incense sticks.
Warm spices on a dark woody base. As the fragrance fades, they are also accompanied by a subtle and clean sweetness.
Despite the smoky aroma, the fragrance is ultimately unisex and there is no need to be afraid of esoteric aromatic wafts, like from a hippie flat share in the 90s:
The sillage is (merely) rock-solid with decent longevity and prevents 1888 from becoming an overwhelmingly sultry beast.

Red and blue snakes of fruit gum twine on the branches of the blossoming tropical plants.
Nevertheless, ripe tuberose and jasmine notes make this a true chameleon. Youthfully dazzling and classically elegant at the same time.
In my opinion, after much toing and froing, it is unfortunately only suitable for the Amazons among us.
A tick more unisex and the fragrance would have moved into my collection.
H/S pretty okay.

Green, sweet and refreshing. Like an open-air shower at a resort on a tropical island.
Even though I would have expected something fruity or floral with the paradisiacal name. And there is something and I am irritated not to read about it in the fragrance pyramid or in other reviews -
Am I the only one smelling a coconut note here?
H/S midfield at best. Unisex.

Perhaps I don't really understand the concept of Aquaten. But: where is the perfume here?
I feel surrounded by a fresh and clean haze all day long. Without soapiness, without clearly identifiable fragrance chords.
The salt tingles slightly in the nose, a dark greenness resonates in the depths of this black sea.
I cannot detect any floral or woody components.
However, this fragrance (for me more appropriately "haze") is of high quality. H/S are upper class, the fragrance is not intrusive, but pleasant and universally applicable. Unisex as well.
If you like a contourless permanent freshness, please
However, I cannot agree with the lyrical ramblings of my previous reviewers about the mysteries of the sea.

I don't know the supposed role model from the British capital, but this fragrance is simply recommendable either way.
I've tried the infamous oud-raspberry-leather combination several times and found what I was looking for here.
Sweet with a dark twist. The raspberry doesn't sting on the nose and its sweetness is perfectly balanced by leathery spices. Oud is difficult for me and I don't perceive it as strong or even animalic here.
Overall linear fragrance and in my opinion unisex and universally applicable. Great H/S.
The bottle has a pleasant feel and looks better in my collection than I thought from the first impression.
For the price an absolute buy recommendation!
