Indigosaek

Masc, but not macho. Clean, but not shower gel. Sauna, but not coniferous forest. Old-school, but not grandpa.

This fragrance is difficult for me to describe, but it is wonderful. It's fresh and aromatic, without any specific citrus, green or aquatic notes. It reminds me of my grandpa, freshly showered and shaved, but it's not one of those grandma-grandpa fragrances that I like so much. Maybe it's just timeless.

The only concrete thing I can say is the following: the fragrance is definitely at least pleasant for anyone who likes light and somewhat masculine scents. However, it doesn't smell as dudebro as other popular freshies in this area. In any case, I think it's wonderful! The fragrance is very linear and the sillage is moderate. A very good office fragrance! And the 3ml bottles are so cheap, you can't go wrong.

Edit: Layered with the "Nivea Sun | NIVEA" (or the La Rive dupe of it I guess) it smells soooo good! I already love it on its own, but the sweetness of the Nivea Sun rounds it off soooo well!

First of all, I find the edp more intense than the oil, it also has more projection. But there's not really a difference in terms of smell.

And what does it smell like? Well, I can't really find the listed fragrance notes. It's a beautiful clean scent, but it's difficult to describe. It's clean in a slightly harsh way that somehow reminds me of metal and the smell of ozone from printers. But not musty, but freshly washed. Thoroughly scrubbed with curd soap! Okay, that might not sound quite so nice, but it really is a good scent!

Most Clean Girl fragrances are one of three options: sweet and "fluffy", fruity and shampoo-like, or floral and aldehyde-heavy. This one is different. In my opinion, it doesn't have the molecules à la "Blanc-À-Porter | Zara" (or "Blanche (Eau de Parfum) | Byredo" because it's supposed to be similar? but I've never smelled it, so idk), but it still has that synthetic-clean feel of very pure mountain air.

I don't know if I've managed to describe the fragrance in any comprehensible way. In any case, I like it wonderfully and it is extremely long-lasting for a clean fragrance. And at such a price, that's really not bad :)

PS: I don't understand why the fragrance was classified as completely feminine here in Diagramm. Such a clear white musk is 100 percent unisex? Strange...

My own grandma never wore cologne or anything similar as far as I know, but when I walk past a grandma in the city, there's a good chance that I'll get a whiff of 4711 in my nose. Ergo the association of granny scent.

And yet I like it so much that I have to wear it from time to time. This is partly because I like neroli and partly because I always like old-fashioned perfumes anyway. The tart, citrusy beginning and the slightly sweet finish just harmonize so well for me. In winter I tended to just spray it on my towels, but now in summer I'll definitely spray it on more often despite its miserable longevity. Then I'll have the vibe of grandma sunbathing in a deckchair under a lemon tree at the touch of a button.

PS: I don't know if this is relevant for anyone, but I added a few sprays of my El Nabil Music Blanc to the cologne (I decanted the 4711 bulk bottle haha), and it goes really well together and extends the shelf life immensely! I'm sure it also works with another perfume that goes in the clean and slightly tart direction!

My latest love: vetiver from the inkwell! To be honest, I don't quite understand why the fragrance is so often described as being insanely dark and smelling like a tomb and death. I suppose it just depends on whether you already know and like vetiver as a note. For me, that was the case, and so this blind purchase was not as risky as it could have been. But what does it smell like to me?

Encre Noire is (in my opinion) a simple and linear vetiver fragrance that captures the anote beautifully. The cypress supports the tendency towards cool and aromatic. The vetiver itself seems to be a mixture of green and smoky vetiver variants. This cool, smoky facet then combines with a certain metallic vibe to somehow capture the idea of ink. But just an inkwell standing in the forest.

For me, this is a fragrance that would not only work in fall and winter, but also in spring thanks to its green and refreshing aspect! Furthermore, I don't find it as clearly masculine as many say. I would rather say unisex with a masculine touch. Unfortunately, I don't like the longevity and sillage as much as many others, more like 4 hours and medium projection. But not a problem for the price So, I hope this description helps someone

smells just like the original sun cream. very pleasant fragrance. Longevity is not that great, but that's okay for me. sprayed on your clothes or on your pillow it gives you the total memories of summer and beach vacation! if you are looking for a perfumey-elegant summer fragrance, you are wrong here, but if you want to have the described summer vacation feeling at the touch of a button (or rather spray head pressure), this fragrance is highly recommended.
