I belong to the minority that likes Aquaten very much, so a test of the squid was virtually mandatory.
So from the last Sharing ne sample bought and off goes the wild ride :-)

And that in the true sense of the word!

The first impulse after spraying was yesterday: Puuuuhhh !!!
For me almost nasty, an indefinable and for an aquatic much too sweet composition spread on the back of the hand.
In fact, a very similar impression, as a long time ago with the Bleu Turqoise, with which I also did not warm.

The first two hours of the Squid were a roller coaster ride, a restless, confused back and forth, in which it was not foreseeable where the fragrance actually wants.
That period of time was pretty rough for me, short of scrubbing it down.

Then the blue slowly calms down and settles. Very slowly, the aquatic theme became apparent to me, with the emphasis on slowly.

After a whopping five hours I found Squid then actually very beautiful and now the water was also clearly recognizable in the foreground.
However, it remains even in the long-lasting drydown rather in the sweetish range.

Conclusion:
The Squid is not a light fragrance, but demands quite a lot from its wearer.
Surprisingly, it was for me that I liked him after the disastrous start to good end yet good.
Nevertheless, he remains for me for an aquatic over the complete life unfortunately just too sweet.
For me rather no recommendation, because I do not want to torture myself for hours until something (for me) acceptable comes out in the end.

What I must concede him, however:
Exciting he is and for people who stand on such confused and changeable fragrances absolutely worth a test.
Whether I want to do me the first two hours, however, a second time I do not know yet.

Nevertheless:
Dare you, for me Squid was after a long time again a real experience :-)

Preliminary:
I like citrusy scents.
And usually I don't make the price an issue.
Everyone should wear what he wants and what he feels comfortable with.
And everyone should also spend what they want on a fragrance if they are in tune with it.

Now to the Tygar:
Yesterday in direct comparison with Boadiceas Energizer tested.
The Tygar is nice at first, and actually quite a stayer for a citrician.
But that's it, the headline to this comment says absolutely EVERYTHING the scent has to offer...there's nothing more.

In a direct comparison Tygar against the Energizer even draws the short straw.
For me, even quite clearly, because after 8 hours remains close to the skin by the whole Ambrox something back, which it is (for me) to avoid in any case:
A sauvage vibe !!!

The energizer is also skin deep after this time, but clearly stays with the lemon theme, without this extreme synthetic drydown.

As I said, in life everything is in the eye of the beholder.
But 300 € for this mix I find already more than cheeky.

The Energizer is already overpriced with 200 €, but at least you do not smell like Johnny Depp at the end.

Citrus fragrances are neither witchcraft nor quite big fragrance chimes.
I am of the opinion that there are also in the designer segment significantly better concoctions at a (also) significantly better price / performance ratio.
With an Allure Edition Blanche, for example, you never go wrong.

Conclusion:
Unspectacular
Long-lasting
Clearly too much Ambrox
Unpleasant sauvage vibe in drydown
Price unreasonable, actually a cheek

Let fingers of it, for the coal you get three other Zitriker, which are clearly better.
