DarkWinterCS

My motto for this fragrance is: Get into the store, spray, buy and get out of the store again. Not many fragrances have been able to go directly to my collection without preliminary information. Even without being able to test the silage, the longevity and further development only approximately subjectively. But with this I was very very very sure and so far not disappointed, because this smell surprises me again and again. Even after more than a year, it always gives new impulses, which even depend on the season or the outside temperature.
I wouldn't say that he had a proper development on his skin after this time. He's on my skin from start to finish with the same main notes. These consist of spices such as nutmeg, freshness of musk and woodiness. Depending on the temperature, however, a further note is added, which then also permanently adheres to the skin. In the winter I have a seaweed-like saltiness, which one doesn't expect and combines well with the other notes. Even if this fragrance is certainly not the typical "all weather Scent", I like to test how my collection changes at different temperatures.

In the end, I would buy the perfume again without hesitation, because it is easy to wear and for me personally it was a discovery that you can simply treat yourself to. Let's go on an adventure.

You can read it on the headline. This fragrance was for me the first real fragrance, which I bought over 15 years ago. Now it is very surprising to read that it is conceived as a women's fragrance. Since it was in the men's department at the time, this thought never occurred to me, even though the fragrance is quite sweet, without the typical male notes. However, I always found it pleasant to wear and not too cute to attract too much attention.
The fragrance is characterized mainly by the wonderful sandalwood and makes it in the composition with vanilla, slightly sweet floral notes and a hint of coconut to a soft and delicate overall concept. Also of his type the scent is rather reserved, rather pleasant and caresses the nose. No aggressive tones, no edges. Rather a follower and cautious comrade who first explores his surroundings and sees if he fits here. As soon as he feels well and knows that he belongs to it, he releases a delicate silage that is persistent but not intrusive.
If I had found it again in recent years, it would again have been a safe purchase.

Through a scent recommendation I became attentive to this. It was claimed that this one - similar to the Tom Ford Noir Extreme - is very gourmandig sweet, very polarizing and also rather unisex. Since I had included the TF NE in my collection shortly before and was more than enthusiastic, I also wanted to give the Guerlain a chance. First of all it has to be stated that this can also be called unisex. Although he looks more towards the male side due to his spice, the sweetness with a tendency towards cherries also has its feminine side. The cherry was then also the crucial point in the future on this smell to do without, since one must drive off already on this kind sweetness.
At the beginning it starts on my skin with brute spice, which after a few seconds mixes with an almond-like and soft sweetness. Little by little leather, vanilla and the already named cherry are added. The true character of the fragrance then shows itself in the combination of light leather, spicy vanilla/tonka and the cherry aroma, which after repeated sniffing seems to become more intense.
Especially at parties or other evening events this fragrance is quite wearable. However one should not spray it on only shortly before, since it can be carried in my opinion only after 1-2 hours really well and softly.

Uomo Intense, the fragrance the self-confident men in leather jackets and black clothes need. Simply powdery, simply powerful and simply awesome. Great scent I came across a few years ago in a scent finder. The fragrance is a combination of iris, vanilla, leather and other powdery notes. From front to back this station wagon can be smelled and that also very persistently. One could draw comparisons to the Prada L´Homme, where this one has these matching leather notes, which are pleasant to join.
Altogether a very round, well balanced but also very intense fragrance, which says directly: "Here I am, look at me.

The latest creation by Initio called REHAB. Different, conspicuous, violently sweet and very confusing. The first thought after spraying on the water was also my skin: OK this is interesting. Until then I hadn't gotten anything comparable under my nose when it came to perfume. If you want to classify the scent according to memories, the first thing you see is a mixture of fresh spicy notes - like certain types of fabric softener - and a visit to a bakery - just baklava. Very difficult to classify, because after a few minutes - especially when you smell it more often - the whole thing develops into an indefinable sweetness. This one hits one so violently silage around the ears that one does not know any more whether one together with a sweet pastry in the washing machine is.
Someone who wants to stand in a cloud of the indefinable and stands on unique scents will find his holy grail here. In the end for me too unique and too different to actually want to wear it longer or more often.
