Chevalier

The ingredients of this fragrance are very bright, fresh and sparkling. You should recognize tangerine, some pepper and of course the cedar. Very boring, because you only recognize the woody component, which has been trimmed too tight in the artificiality. Comparable products with cedar, are much more aromatic and complex than this boring one which kills you and never lets go.
For LVMH, this boring tedium is certainly not the greatest masterpiece that has appeared on the market. It strongly reminds of the Fan Fendi line, which was also very dominant and quite synthetic. With too much humming and too little openness for the detail.
The evolution is linear and monotonous, that also brings to the fore the Acqua di Parma series, which is stuffed into the department store shelves by the same manufacturer.
The biggest shortcoming, these ingredients are grown in the laboratory above the acceptable pain threshold. With this, it is even possible to bring out the no longer existing olfactory buds in smokers.
For the cost budget a blessing, for the fragrance and development a curse.
If you prefer fragrances with high sillage and long strength, this one is not the first choice here, because it smells too much like a three for two action from Kaufland and not like a medium mainstream which should be a little finer and better tuned.

When I'm looking for a fragrance, I always pay attention to the sillage and durability. These have to be good and appropriate, just like the fragrance itself. For most people the fun is over after an hour. But a few are still clearly recognizable after two hours, others even longer like this outstanding Beau. It has fallen out of time like something out of time, fragrances with a fougère content have largely disappeared into old people's homes or into the bending zones of the sales gondolas of supermarkets. Fougère is rather associated with unpleasant, old and inappropriate. Few have come along in the mainstream area, if then in a modified form with a sweetness or a second scent impact which shows the fougère combination of lavender, bergamot and geranium only in the background. Here one can take the many Azzaros or Botegas as an example.
The spirit of the times is set on sweet, pleasant and nice.
No character head like this Beau would fit in here. The question is, can such a character head be called beautiful?
Probably only with the self-confidence of this brand, which Estee Lauder implements well in her portfolio.
The strength with the linear flow of lavender and bergamot from Beau de jour is reminiscent of the former New West or Havana, which both ran in the Aramis series, but are or were clearly recognizable as Estee Lauder products. The fragrance experience reminds through the patchouli maybe of rive gauche or Davidoff, but also of the first Eau sauvage perfume from 2012, which had to be exchanged with a dimmed successor in 2017, because it was very room filling and dominant in performance like this Ford.
The head behind the beau de jour, Antoine Maisondieu did everything right. The impacts of Bottega Veneta or the Brit are easily recognizable, which is perhaps just imagination.
For sure, a fragrance has been created here that not everyone likes, where not everyone comes in raptures and a false smile. Here is one that is loved or hated. Some people ask what smells so funny here, others find it very good and ask. In the middle there is nothing.
The Complimentgetter faction who only buy a fragrance for empty arguments doesn't care about him, almost like the Bundesliga games without an audience. He is here to be worn, you have to be careful that the scent doesn't get on your skin, if this should be the case, you have to apply the products of the Gutriech faction, then you probably have no opinion of your own, don't know what you want and are completely lost with this Tom Ford.

If there is a willingness to invest this price, then the fragrance can become a kind of brand for the wearer, who no longer follows but goes his own way

Hugo now, after the very good Hugo Extreme. What a run, what a great strategy to continue this success story now. At first you are thrilled by the surge of lightness and southern feeling. After that nothing more. Is that possible? After about ten minutes there is simply nothing more. Is it the crisis with the current coronavirus and house arrest or is the rehearsal over. Actually it can't be, because this little bottle landed on my desk about three weeks ago.
Such a disillusionment for such a well chosen name, was not for a long time. For Coty and the currently many good products like the Cool water Intense, the Joop wow for men intense or the Boss bottled oud, the products had quite an upward trend. Unfortunately this juggler spoils the spring mood, as you can expect more, as it only comes with mint and a little bit of Vetyver. For fragrances that have rather few ingredients, this Now is now completely off. You'd accept a cologne like that, a normal eau de toilette almost borders on unfair competition here. Baldessarini's Mäurer&Wirtz products have an even longer shelf life or the unspeakable diesel is even more noticeable.
A pity and unfortunately absolutely not to be recommended for a fragrance that one wants to perceive for a few hours at least. After such a short time nothing to recognize is the wrong way for the younger Boss or Hugo fragrances, which is very unfortunate

The name of the perfumer Nathalie Lorson was probably not so well known in 2011, otherwise this fragrance would probably be more well-known and not an almost forgotten product.
The brand is really not pushed by Euro Italia which is close to Monza in Italy, so the manufacturer has only one real driving force with Versace. The other brands such as Missoni or Dsquared2 are almost unknown, Moschino still somewhat known. That's why it's even more a pity not to have this Moschino on the radar anymore. He is incredibly durable and fresh. He is not a fresh aquatic or any other sweet newcomer. He stands quite independently with the kumquat and the peppercorns. This is what makes the scent very recognizable and unique. The pepper is very pleasant, not pungent at all and maybe a bit reminiscent of Carbone, which was also produced by the Lorson. For your own perception with a pleasant course, such a product should normally get more attention. However, since it runs under a label like Moschino, it unjustifiably loses a lot of popularity. Unfortunately, this is not a rare phenomenon, if you can not only invest in marketing as a manufacturer, but still place very high-quality products on the market.
For a current price of 22 Euro for 100ml you can also order two bottles and get through the summer with ease.
The end of the unfortunately not for ever lasting moschino comes after eight to nine hours with the wood. Vetiver is not visible, this root is drowned out by the sandalwood and does not disturb in the least.
Once again a compliment to this high-revving turbo in the low Euro range

The first wow was quite pleasing and was already well perceptible. This more intense one is one step better in durability and rounds off the pleasant side of the orange and cinnamon
The Intense wave does not always have to be bad. Here Joop is doing a pretty good job again besides his absolute homme. The ingredients are all harmonious and from strength to eight hours very well perceptible. The warmth is ideal for the beginning of winter, and the freshness with the vetiver is also only positive. For a fragrance in the mid-price segment, it has a much higher quality appearance.
The strong durability is perhaps a little boring, since it does not develop very much. It remains sweet from the beginning to the end, yet still spicy, which may not be deep enough for fragrance poets. For all others it is enough and makes you want to wear it again.
Joop has done everything right in 2019 on the men's side, let's see what we can expect in 2020 from the much too often reviled brand Joop again.
