The better Oud Maracujá?
I have been asking myself this question ever since I blind-bought Art of Nature I. The fragrance notes in the description sounded more interesting and varied to me than those of Oud Maracujá. When the bottle finally arrived, I could hardly wait to apply the first spray to my skin.

An intense, fruity aroma unfolded from the very first spray. For me, the focus was on a ripe, juicy plum, which also had a slightly bitter note. This bitterness lent depth and character to the fruitiness, which I immediately liked. The plum was accompanied by a subtle hint of blackcurrant, which rounded off the fruity prelude perfectly.

After a few minutes, the fragrance began to change. The initial sweetness of the fruit slowly gave way to a darker, more complex note. The leathery nuances that I already knew from Oud Maracujá emerged. I notice this here: In the base, Art of Nature 1 and Oud Maracujá are almost identical. The leather and wood tones are warm, elegant and very high-quality. This parallel makes the two fragrances almost interchangeable in terms of depth.

What clearly sets Art of Nature 1 apart from Oud Maracujá, however, is the more fruity and lively top note. While Oud Maracujá was always a bit like Ombre Nomade for me - with a heavier, less fruity start - Art of Nature 1 creates a much more pleasant, fresher and more accessible balance here. The fruity notes give the fragrance an individual touch without sacrificing depth or elegance.

When it comes to longevity and sillage, Art of Nature 1 exceeds expectations. The fragrance lasts for hours on the skin and is present in the air without being overpowering. The combination of the fruity top note and the heavy base in particular ensures that the fragrance is convincing both at the beginning and in the dry phase.

For me, Art of Nature 1 is definitely the "better Oud Maracujá". The fruity top note gives it a unique identity and makes it appear fresher and more modern. If you are already a fan of Oud Maracujá but are looking for a slightly fruitier and more versatile alternative, Art of Nature 1 is the perfect choice. For me, this fragrance is a successful evolution that combines the best of both worlds - fruitiness and elegance.

Oriental bomb
An oriental bomb from the house of Xerjoff. I find the fragrance very difficult to describe, in any case, very oriental, woody but at the same time sweet and spicy. The fragrance is not for everyone, because the notes are very special, for me anyway, my favorite Xerjoff fragrance. The performance is just brutal, even after showering you can still smell the scent on your skin. I would avoid spraying the fragrance on your clothes as it is so incredibly strong and doesn't come out at first. It easily lasts 10 hours if not longer.

Just a summer fragrance? Or the summer scent.
When you spray on Torino 21, you are transported into a world of freshness. The fresh mint immediately comes to the fore, followed by a beautiful and pleasant citrus note. You feel like you're in a Mediterranean garden. When I smelled the fragrance for the first time, I immediately fell in love with it, simply a masterpiece. I would say one of the best summer fragrances of all time.
