Cervo

Many Lutens fragrances from the COLLECTION NOIRE are too much for me. I recognize the quality, but I don't like to smell them on myself, because they are often too loud and roomy for me.

With the rather light fragrances from the series LES EAUX DE POLITESSE I haven't found anything so far. I also didn't like the new one at the first test. The carnation is too annoying. My first association: it smells like a Kretek cigarette.

Attracted by the unusual emerald-green color of the perfume I tasted again last weekend and was surprised. Now the citric orange came through well and together with the pleasantly spicy clove it developed into a great, warm, strangely patchouli-like scent.

Lutens describes Des clous pour une pelure as an invigorating and purifying fragrance.

I think so too. And he looks pretty good next to my Pink After Shave in the bathroom.

I like mint, unfortunately I can hardly find any at the moment, since Green Water is no longer available. That's why I was pleased to announce the new Atkinson Mint & Tonic. I like the beautiful glass bottle with the heavy, silvery cap, like all bottles of the Contemporary Collection. The first scent impression brings the expected summer freshness, with mint and citrus, to the nose. Mint yes, not sweet, not floral, no tonic, very subtle and light, this first chord changes into a woody spiciness (unfortunately without the described ginger), which slowly fades into a somehow metallic musky base
