Gentle Rose Glow
There are rose fans, there are rose opponents… and nothing in between!
I myself am a fan of roses in all variations, whether as a "central figure," "background," "companion," or "hidden" - I'm always up for roses.
Sublime has rose prominently at the forefront, yet I find it very gentle in character… not present and shouting or overwhelming, but soft and caressing.
Accompanied by a reciprocal balancing of neroli and powder.
Eventually, fruity woody accents join in, rounding everything off - in my scent profile, I would describe this as curves that make the fragrance radiate.
And who else belongs to the rose fans? Or is neutral towards rose (which I haven't heard of so far)
Thank you for reading!

Forest Walk
Digital world! Hustle! Worries! Distractions! Speeds!
The desire: Peace, closeness, balance!
How can one best find this? In my hobbies of collecting fragrances & watches, I admit that peace is only partially present, as I am always searching for and researching the next addition to my collection.
But training in the gym and hiking or even jogging through the forest evoke feelings of happiness!
And now, Hortus brings forth the vibes of a forest walk.
I can literally feel the trees and earth around me.
The earth beneath me… the rustling of the wind… in the distance a garden with fruits.
Wood is spicy and damp.
And very interestingly, it has a natural sweetness, not in the sense of honey, but rather a type of sweetness that I do NOT perceive as bubblegum or synthetic, but more like a kind of naturalness.
Maybe I find it hard to describe this…. Or perhaps it can be easily understood….
I wish you all a lovely, relaxing Sunday… maybe you read this on a forest walk.

My Scent, Your Scent!
I don't know who else enjoys the culinary TV show "My Local, Your Local" (for example, Mike Süsser & Robin Pietsch visit restaurants and their operators over the course of a week, who in turn visit each other - at the end, they are rated) but in a modified form, I have been inspired to create an olfactory version, and it remains somewhat culinary - at least regarding the theme: fruits - and I try to convey this in this review!
Initially, I would like to refer to a "short scent week" which has taken place after just 2 reviews with some time in between - for targeted individual perspectives, I recommend my reviews of Erba Pura and Extreme Passion - and to be fair, I don't want to make a direct final rating, but rather seek a touched comparison and categorize my respective enthusiasms to share with you.
This is somewhat a delicate topic - fruity scents are not necessarily subject to pleasure tax everywhere, and Erba Pura divides opinions threefold, if not more.
Nevertheless, I find it personally important to take on this challenge... I can't lose in this situation, but rather gain and challenge myself after a long review break with such a theme!
In short, Erba Pura is the fruit bomb and one spray is truly enough, while I perceive Extreme Passion as more elegant and reserved in character, even though it performs strongly (hence longevity & sillage 10 out of 10).
Now to Saffira, we are talking about a product from La Rive and a little digression: La Rive is like a surprise bag: some scents impress positively, some raise questions, another provides answers, and others are just okay!
From my perspective and on my skin, this one is a real statement with a Wow and a big exclamation mark!
Under €10 and yet this specimen does not need to hide from Xerjoff or Lorenzo Pazzaglia - why should it?
For me, it partially captures this DNA, but overall it is more relaxed - chilled to 100% relaxation - somewhat fruitier and not so overpowering.
H/S perfect for everyday use.
The scent character thus appears overall more balanced.
Allrounder at its best!
Perhaps to approach it in a more evaluative manner:
- Saffira, the allrounder for everyday
- Extreme Passion, the one for business meetings
- Erba Pura, fruit party tiger and let's go
I hope you find my categorization sensible.
Nevertheless, I am interested in your thoughts.
After all, I give each of these scents in their category 10 points ;)
Thank you for reading!
I wish you a wonderful Easter season!

Shaving Water Journey Part 15 - The First Time at Rossmann or "Was Jeremy Fragrance Involved?"
Every new Tabac is worth more than just a glance for me!
The Black Edition at dm was already a fine discovery this year, and now the Extra Strong at Rossmann.
And as mentioned in the title - the first time at Rossmann - usually, I am at Müller and occasionally at dm.
So I really had to go on a search... somehow different.
But I found what I was looking for.
(Wonder if the next limited Tabac Original will be released at Müller?)
And I really imagined Extra Strong with a Jeremy Fragrance bouncing at Mäurer & Wirtz shouting: "Power, Strong Energy, Extra ... EXTRA STRONG - Red Ferrari, Golden Rolex - Jeremy Fragrance" .... If this really happened... it wouldn't surprise me at all, and I truly have no insider insight - just coincidentally.
I find it interesting that they really maintain the claim to the classic... although the Black Edition took on a more "modern - transparent" note, the Extra Strong really amplifies the DNA in every respect, making it more intense & louder.
Although I must say:
Yes, it is loud and intense... But at the same time, it manages to highlight fine characteristics and not let them go unnoticed.
And even though it is loud, it remains a gentleman.
It's very exciting that this soft & relaxed loudness is designed without conveying incredibility.
The application is very pleasant and overall, like the scent, it is flattering.
Ultimately, it has remained classic and emphasizes EXTRA STRONG.
Currently, I am using all AS from Tabac Original, and they harmonize incredibly well with the shaving soap from Tabac, and after the successful shaving, using it is always a reward.

Aftershave Journey Part 14 - Modern Classic, Strictly Limited!!!
New arrival! And then there's an aftershave for a new aftershave journey! And from Tabac, no less, strictly limited... Phew, I had to jump on this one!
BLACK EDITION - wow, when I saw the first statement from Yatagan I thought, "A new Tabac? Yes!" and even though Yatagan doesn't necessarily celebrate this release and I always enjoy reading his statements & reviews, there can be different scent perceptions... otherwise it would be sad.
And especially Iso-E-Super is a case of its own - and in combination with this aftershave, it can indeed divide opinions... at least I think and suspect: For fragrance lovers or fragrance groupies (like me), this scent won't leave anyone cold and there will be opinions, and I find that nice.
Ultimately, I welcome the classics from the house of Tabac, as well as modern interpretations or completely new paths - I like to stand by my position here, but I think Tabac should remain in all generations and also serve as an "entry fragrance." And I find that for me, I can forgo one or another designer scent, but with Tabac or generally Mäurer & Wirtz, I have a different attitude, on one hand promoting a family business with a glorious fragrance tradition, on the other hand an emotional component with flashbacks to my grandfather.
When applying to the shaved skin, it was a very romantic and familiar feeling - since I use the Tabac shaving soap, I additionally applied the scent to my skin to filter out any differences for myself - it really felt like a perfect date, that moment when you get to know someone completely new and yet immediately feel that certain something.
Scent-wise, I see strong similarities with the great original, however, I perceive this new one as a bit greener at the beginning, the woodiness then slowly sneaks from the background to the forefront.
It then develops a kind of transparency - the skin becomes soft-creamy like the scent or vice versa, like a glance in the mirror. Delicate soft leather lightly embraces the skin.
I think the bottle will receive the most approval and it reflects this transparency, at first glance yes BLACK EDITION, but as Axiomatic mentions, the bottle knows how to transform slightly while remaining distinctive, you have the opportunity to experience so many beautiful color facets from BLACK to gray, so many facets - just for that reason I find it a shame that this fragrance event is limited.
The bottle also fits wonderfully in the hand and you can dose perfectly, it doesn't come out too little and not too much... just right!
In conclusion, I discover on the packaging a successful connection of tradition and modernity - and yes, I agree with that... I also hope that through the advertising on Instagram from Tabac, other target groups will take notice and especially "younger" people will dare to open up to the brand and ultimately come to appreciate the classics.
Thank you for reading!
