Burlington 1819 is one of those fragrances that just makes me feel super good at all times. It's a really nice scent for the summer that exudes a certain seriousness and elegance.

Especially at the beginning we get juicy citrus fruits like grapefruit or lime.
Ginger also makes a light appearance, as does the mint.
I sometimes find mint a little too much or even off-putting here and there, but here I find the mint totally pleasant and appropriately processed.

There is also a pleasant spiciness in the background that becomes a little more intense over time, but never too strong.
Furthermore, the classic oak moss also comes through nicely over time. I am generally a fan of oakmoss and so this naturally suits my taste.

Fragrances such as Tygar, Turathi Blue and co are listed as similar.
I can certainly understand this approach. So if you know these fragrances, you can roughly imagine where the direction is going.
Nevertheless, all of these fragrances have their own twist somewhere and this is of course also the case here with Burlington.

Towards the end of the course, it also becomes noticeably woodier and super soft patchouli comes into the nose.

All in all, a great fragrance for the summer that always gives me a good feeling.
I even find the longevity to be quite good for a summer fragrance, although it projects noticeably less on my skin.

In the end, everyone should decide for themselves whether they want to pay such a price for a fragrance.

Sex Sea starts with a mix of different citrus fruits.
This combination harmonizes perfectly, is refreshing and comes across as quite "juicy" and delicious.
The bergamot comes across nicely, along with some grapefruit and yuzu, and above all a kind of lime and mint.

In the background, however, this maritime impact is immediately recognizable. The impression of the deep sea and its salty flair are clearly recognizable for me here, albeit subtly at the beginning.

In fragrances such as Black Sea by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, this marine impression is perfectly incorporated. A little dark, of course, as the name suggests.

In Sex Sea, we also have this impression in a less dark and more discreet form.
At the beginning, as I said, in the background and over time this element moves a little more into the foreground.

There is also some pepper listed in the fragrance pyramid. For me, however, the peppery touch only comes with the introduction of the maritime impression. This salty flair is now also nicely present and towards the end it even becomes slightly "dark" for me.

However, the citrusy vibes from the opening are no longer really present.
I can still detect them here and there, but they are much milder and toned down.

The performance is top Lorenzo Pazzaglia as usual.
These fragrances simply last a long time and also project properly.

Perpetual is a really nice feel-good fragrance. It reminds me a little of Christmas.
Nevertheless, I don't find it too sweet and super wearable as a perfume.
The fragrance exudes a certain sweet elegance and is rounded off beautifully with light floral accents.

For me, Perpetual starts directly with this wonderful almond-cherry mix. This combination is immediately sweet, but pleasant. It also has a slightly "tart" effect. I suspect that the ginger is making its mark here.
It doesn't bring the usual freshness that you're used to from it, but simply this slightly tart flair. Fits really well and I like it.

You can also immediately sense a few floral accents that do the fragrance good and round it off a little.

The longer the fragrance lies on the skin, the more the other sweet notes come through. A super nice tonka bean, some sugar and vanilla complete the fragrance.

Furthermore, you can feel a cinnamon veil enveloping the Perpetual throughout
The way cinnamon works here reminds me a little of an Oajan from Parfums de Marly, for example.
Nevertheless, these two fragrances definitely don't smell the same, to make that clear again.

The sweet accords, together with the sandalwood, also make the fragrance creamier and creamier over time.

For me, there is room for improvement in terms of durability and sillage.
There could be a little more, but it's still perfectly fine.

Sultan Vetiver unfortunately doesn't quite meet my personal taste, so I wouldn't buy this fragrance.
In this case, however, I really have to give it a big thumbs up.

This fragrance is simply very well made and has a totally high-quality feel. In my opinion, this is almost perfection for the word "niche".
Sultan Vetiver definitely has a niche character. You won't smell this fragrance on every corner and not everyone will like it, but it's still just really good!

The fragrance starts directly with this intense vetiver note, paired with bergamot and a kind of fennel and aniseed. This impression is probably due to the listed absinthe.

There is also a hint of sweetness. This fragrance is by no means sweet, but there is still something sweet about it, which is really good for the scent. This whole combination just seems super well crafted and put together.

As the fragrance progresses, some neroli is added. I can also clearly recognize the neroli note. Furthermore, the fragrance has a very light herbal vibe for me.

Towards the end, the woody notes are added, which were already recognizable in the background during the course of the fragrance.
The bergamot is completely gone and the certain aniseed and fennel impression is still there, albeit more subtle.
Vetiver is of course also still present.

It's been a few years since I last had this fragrance under my nose and now I had tested it a little again and the memories came flooding back.

This fragrance had a lot of fans, has a lot of fans and will get a few more fans.
Sultan Vetiver is simply well made.

The performance can also be rated as positive.
You hardly need a spray to feel like you can smell it all day and fill the room.

Eterno from Simone Andreoli has certainly managed to convince me.
Some compare it to Interlude Man. I smelled it umpteen years ago and have no memory of it, so I can't draw any comparisons here. For me, Eterno is quite special, unique and therefore also special.

The fragrance starts with a pleasant freshness, which comes primarily from the bergamot. After a brief moment, some pepper enters. In the background, however, something profound is already emerging.
You feel something, your nose is tickled and you are made to think.

In the meantime, the resinous-sweet bells flutter around the nose. The whole thing is enveloped in something smoky.
Somehow it also has a tart, nutty character for me. This resinous-sweetish-spicy section is now clearly in the foreground and the bergamot fades more and more into the background.

Towards the end, a sweetish, resinous and spicy character remains. However, a few woody impressions are added.
Some leather also enters,
but is immediately coated with a sweetish layer of resin.

The performance also deserves a positive mention.
You definitely don't need many sprays here to get through the day and be generally noticed.
In my experience, this fragrance also fills rooms quickly.

All in all, a very interesting fragrance that I think you should try.
