Synthetic or not, the main thing is to like it! Right? ...or not? :)
Wow... two comments on the statement within a few minutes, then I have to explain it briefly:
The head of 'Sur la Route' (SLR) reminds me very much of the synthetic and the impression of engine oil of '#87, Series Three' by Six Scents, which can be seen in the background...
I'm sorry to say it like this.
Sur la Route' is supposed to have lemon and lemonade lemon?
When I think of citron lemon I think of 'L'Etrog' by Arquiste, where I can smell and feel the sweetness and tart note of citron lemon,
in SLR here I smell something that seems citric or lemony or lemon-like, but overall for me disappears in the synthetic overall picture.
And when I think of the fragrance 'lemon', I think of the lemony impression of 'Monsieur Balmain', for example.
And the scent of 'cut grass':
probably refers to the synthesised produced substance 'cis-3-hexenol', which corresponds to the natural molecule contained in the plant cells of grass and released when it is cut.
As far as one can smell this substance at all individually, I smell it most likely in
"Ichnvsa" by Profumum Roma,
than here in Sur la Route.
And I also smelled bergamot in other fragrances better, more intense than here.
Some commentators here at Parfumo mention a leather note.
In contrast to perfume, Fragrantica also includes leather in the fragrance pyramid.
I know what the comments mean by leather,
when I smell 'Sur la Route' but the leather note is here,
in my opinion,
very faint and 'reminiscent' of leather and then only in a rather artificial way, far away from the leather in 'Knize Ten' or the likewise semi-synthetic 'Cuiron' by Helmut Lang, which come to my mind spontaneously.
I have summarized these feelings in my statement,
because at the end of the day, Sur la Route is not a fragrance I would call natural.
I really have nothing against partly synthetic or fully synthetic fragrances,
i find a mix of synthetics and natural appearing ingredients very interesting.
But if I can somehow smell each of the listed scents a little bit and then only synthetically, then it is for me a synthetic scent overall
and there's hardly anything natural in that fragrance.
Hence this statement.
Apart from that, I think that too little is said here about perfume and not enough about the synthetic ingredients.
Here and there the most famous artificial substances, such as Cashmeran, Hedione, Iso E Super and and and and... as they are all called, are called
but that in many, many fragrances of the last years a lot or only synthetic substances are used, this is not discussed so much here at Parfumo
or rather, the scent specifications of many perfumes do not reflect this fact.
The fragrances often only tell you how the scent is intended to smell, although often little or none of the fragrances listed is a natural substance.
There are many artificial fragrances that smell a little like a lot of things,
e.g. a little bit like apple and e.g. a little bit like leather
and then the fragrance is listed as apple and leather and it is assumed that there is really apple and leather in it.
But this is NOT the case with very, very many scents at all!
And if you then use several artificial fragrances in one perfume, there is olfactory overlap and the fragrance takes on a different direction and suddenly smells, for example, of moss or grass
or autumn or an association that reminds of autumn!
These artificial substances are cheaper than the natural ingredients,
they are also more stable in quality. And a mass corporation like Louis Vuitton wants to sell a lot and expensively over a long period of time what it has produced cheaply.
Expensive, natural ingredients do not fit into mass production.
And it is exactly the same (in my opinion!) with 'Sur la Route'.

Reformulated! Total disappointment!
Shaal Nur has been reformulated and is at most a pale shadow of his former character.
Super sucks!
All that secret reformulation COTTING ME!
Real!
Shaal Only had something of its own, there were few similar fragrances.
Every now and then I took him out and enjoyed him very much.
A few days ago I bought a new bottle and was very disappointed.
The fragrance in the new design hardly smells like the fragrance
which was still available to buy about 8 years ago.
And so it has been with many older fragrances in recent months and years,
that I wanted to buy.
Warehouse field v. Warehouse field,
Obsession for Men v. C. Klein,
Rocabar v. Hermès
and so on...
They're not the same scents anymore!
And it annoys me immensely that the manufacturers change their recipes and sell us new fragrances under the same name!
Am I the only one?
That's actually cheating.
A new fragrance was supposed to be labelled. Or am I exaggerating?
Anyway, Shaal Nur has been changed. I hab´ sprayed it on a few times,
but you can really forget him!
I still have a little rest of the old scent and can compare both directly.
This oriental warmth is gone, the slightly citric note in the earlier head has given way to a now artificially sweet fruitiness. Also he is a little more herbaceous.
ETRO, shame on you!!!!
I can't give any rating here, because I can't distinguish between the old and the reformulated scent in the rating.
Actually, Parfumo should also have a section for reformulations or another possibility where users can comment and express their opinions on obviously reformulated fragrances, or a
Clearer possibility to be able to warn against reformulations
(and most of them in my opinion don't come close to the original and as I read again and again in the forums and commissions, I'm not the only one who notices reformulations).
If I had learned more about the reformulation of some fragrances on Parfumo,
i would NOT have bought many more fragrances and would not only have a lot of money
but, what matters more,
i could have saved myself some disappointments and trouble.

You can't!!!
A universal and chemical fragrance with a musk base that is not surprising with cheap fragrances. It just ruined the morning for me personally, even after disinfection alcohol you can still smell the sweet artificial musk. ...and by the way, comparing zero to Azzaro's Chrome!
