I have thought for a long time about what my favorite fragrance could be, and since I have been reaching for Eternity since the 90s, I have no idea which bottle this is already
it could be the 8th or 9th, he is the only one in question.
In spring or summer when it gets warm, I love its citrusy, not too spicy freshness. Later it becomes woody and greener.
It just fits beautifully with nice weather.
Strangely enough, every time I wear it, I think of Italy, no idea why.
Also, the longevity is top-notch,
never under 6-7 hours, the sillage is also decent, although not too strong, it never becomes intrusive, it has a certain lightness.
The price speaks for itself, so my current bottle will definitely not be the last one.
Again and again Eternity, basically until eternity (Eternity)

I stumbled upon this fragrance by chance, as it was supposedly on sale at Türkis, so just under €40 for 50 ml.
The scent itself is lovely, very fresh, distinctly citrusy in the opening, with subtle aquatic notes.
This is complemented by the described creaminess, which gives it a certain snugness and softness.
So it's actually a perfect summer fragrance.
If it weren't for the abysmal performance.
At the latest, an hour after spraying, it is barely more than a skin scent,
After 2 to a maximum of 3 hours, the fun is over.
It's a shame really, I last experienced such poor longevity with a drugstore fragrance; here I expect something different.

In my search for an affordable scent for everyday use, I came across this fragrance at a well-known department store chain.
Both visually and during the scent test, it was immediately clear, Le Male.
Of course, it is SIGNIFICANTLY !! toned down,
hence the title.
Kind Looks is a pleasant companion for everyday life, I especially like that it is not so strong and more subtle than its predecessor.
Great complexity and endless longevity are of course not to be expected, but considering a price of €3.50 for 100 ml, that's more than acceptable, and you can always reapply.
For me, it is definitely an enhancement to my collection.

One Man Show has been in my collection for quite some time, and I really enjoy wearing it,
when I want something robustly fresh. However, this freshness should not be compared to that of more modern fragrances. OMS is old school, and I mean that in the best sense of the word.
By old school, I don’t mean outdated; I actually find it has a timeless quality, but it clearly comes from a completely different fragrance era, when the understanding of men’s scents was quite different. This was also related to the fact that the image of men in the 70s/80s was largely shaped by "REAL MEN," one could even say machos, though I consciously say it was not dominated by that.
Accordingly, One Man Show: It starts off fresh, herbaceous, spicy, green, with a solid sillage and comes across as quite broad-shouldered; however, I don’t find this presence unpleasant. As the fragrance develops, it becomes warmer, woodier, with a not-so-subtle animalic note that I think suits it well. Not necessarily a candidate for high summer, but great to wear from late summer into autumn.
You have to like it; it definitely has its own character, and I do.

To bring some variety back into my fragrance cabinet for little money, I picked up Brave at DM, even though I already found the original unappealing; that's probably where the mistake lies. I sprayed it on several days and I notice:
When it's there, it's already gone again. Longevity under an hour, then only very close to the skin, after 1 1/2 hours I can't smell anything anymore:
The scent itself: Sticky sweet, reminiscent of cotton candy, very slightly fresh, and synthetically piercing, but all of it in a very, very bad way. A bad purchase, cest la vie
Definitely the worst fragrance I've had from LA RIVE so far, and I've actually had good experiences with the manufacturer.
So BRAVE 0 POINTS !!
I will dispose of it again.
Thank goodness this flop didn't cost me the world.
