Virgin Island Water which is worth it this time
Arrived today, unpacked it straight away, applied it and leaned back full of emotion. Simply awesome, what else can I say, really good work has been done here.
I love Virgin Island Water but it evaporates within half an hour, but this one really performs
It's not just identical, it's better, everything is just perfect from start to finish
The lime in the opening is simply so fine, so fine that it cannot be described, absolutely no synthetics but really authentic, followed by coconut, which creeps in, making the progression and development interesting.
In the drydown, the coconut becomes creamy but only very slightly, which I really like, the lime still dangles slightly but you notice this great sugary rum, which is just endlessly good
The fragrance really puts you in a good mood, simply summer in a bottle you could imagine it in something like this: You're sitting under a palm tree on a really hot day and you've ordered an ice-cold piña colada or a coconut mojito.
Fragrance 10/10
H/S 8/10 really very good, lasts a long time
Silage 7/10
Bottle 8/10 actually quite standard nothing special but the atomizer is really good
P/L-V: 10/10 completely fair

Poppy seed tartlets with juicy fruit on top
First of all, I would like to get rid of one thing: Personally, I think it's a shame that the fragrance only has a 6.8. The fragrance clearly deserves better. I also don't understand how other fragrances such as Pacific Rock Moss by Goldfield & Banks has an 8.1 and is ranked 50th among the university fragrances or Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is ranked 42nd and also has an 8.1, come on?
The fragrance can be described quite simply as you can best imagine it: An insanely fresh, fragrant poppy seed cake like a cupcake with lots of aromatic, juicy fruit on top. And the really cool thing is that it doesn't change and stays that way throughout the fragrance
In the opening, of course, the fruit accords stand out clearly, especially the fig, juicy apple and redcurrant, but then it is more balanced and simply smells absolutely interesting, unlike the others. The praline does a very good job, by the way.
A fragrance that cannot be described exactly, fresh, fruity, slightly sweet but not this synthetic or annoying, but very fine and deliciously gourmand-like.
I wouldn't necessarily wear it in hot weather, but in the evening when it gets cooler yes. Is it more of a fall/winter fragrance? You might think so, or is it an all-rounder? Personally, I tend towards spring, I don't know why, you can just feel it. The fragrance definitely puts you in a good mood.
Fragrance 10/10
H/S 9/10
P/L-V 6/10 quite expensive
Bottle 10/10 timeless minimalist

Juicy tangerine-pineapple birch syrup
Maybe my review will seem a bit off the wall or exaggerated because it's my #1 scent and it's like it was created for me so I love it
Straight to the point: there is no other summer fragrance maybe an all-year-all-rounder that is as awesome as the Aventus Cologne
This juicy and sparkling top note that turns your head and literally makes your mouth drool, the explosion of mandarin ginger and pink pepper just gives such a kick
It lasts for 20 minutes on my skin and then the following happens: The woody notes mix with the fruity, slightly spicy ginger accords and are more passively perceptible, but I don't notice the pineapple, maybe it's there, but you notice the birch and vetiver together with the musk. After a good hour it becomes such an aromatic woody juicy fragrance and that is simply a masterpiece.
If it weren't for the familiar nuances with the batches, I have two bottles and realized that the bottle I officially bought online from Creed (with the metal cap) simply doesn't have the same juicy, sparkling top note as the bottle with the plastic lid. I also noticed that the bottle with the plastic cap has a slightly more yellowish tinge than the other one, as the perfume is simply crystal clear. Probably a maturation process in the box then it changes a little :D
But now to the conclusion: would I buy the bottle a 3rd time, yes! 4th time yes, 5th time I don't know. I just want more of the F000-150 to170 Baches because the 551 with the metal cap should not be something like that at this price. Oh yes and P/L ratio: It hurts but still for me there is no other alternative so you can still turn a blind eye.
H/S: 7.5/10 - is a freshie
P/L-V: 5/10
Flacon: a matter of taste 10/10
Fragrance: 10/10

In 50th place among unisex fragrances, really?
I never understood the hype but I wanted to try it anyway, ordered a sample and yes:
The fragrance DNA itself is great, nice and refreshing and sparkling, you can definitely smell the green notes, the lemon evaporates relatively quickly but what remains? Somehow not really much. You have to get up close to be able to perceive anything at all. And spending between 130-150€ on this 100ml water is not necessarily fun...
Conclusion is a good start at the beginning but that's it for the shelf life of six
Sillage no better
The design of the bottle is cool
Price/performance ratio outrageous - there are better alternatives for this price range

Duschdas luxury edition
First of all, I don't want to badmouth the fragrance, but rather share my experience. I came across the fragrance by chance when I was looking at "Sommerdüfte 2024". Ordered a sample and now:
So I don't know, I'm disappointed because I had high expectations, maybe that's just how it comes across to me BUT the fragrance is so linear and hardly changes at all. The fragrance DNA is so simple you can't go wrong and it would certainly go down well with others but for me it just smells like a classy shower gel and nothing more. I somehow had a Dior Sauvage/Versace Dylan Blue vibe after applying it, which immediately bored me.
Unfortunately nothing interesting for me, here I don't have the feeling that I want the fragrance at any cost, therefore flop
