I grew up with the hits of the 80s and 90s. Obsession for Men and Egoiste were my first real fragrance discoveries. Insensé by Givenchy and of course Joop homme were also a must-have. No wonder I can't really relate...

A blind buy from the eBay before the good stuff sinks into the nirvana of fragrance history. I sprayed it, and the first impression was stunning. Wow, what a surprise!! A dark, dirty lemon comes flying at you. Better said, it tries to knock you down....

I was very curious about this Lutens and finally had the opportunity to test Serge Noire. Good thing I didn't order a bottle blind. What happened? My "flower skin" has once again thrown a wrench in my plans. Another harsh scent that...

Here a family test had to be conducted. On me, male, a cold iris develops on the skin in a packaging of chemically smelling cellophane. On my brother, you first smell glue, which is with the owl, and then you only have a wild...

The name would have suited better. It would also have been a small homage to the interesting film adaptation of Stephen King's novel from 1976. The scent is, like the film, a mix of a light version of a splatter movie and a soft...

I admit that I also wanted to sniff the gunpowder note. Unfortunately, FullChoke seems not to have made it to the German market. But there’s always the eBay. There I was able to acquire FullChoke for a very moderate price....

On my skin, the development is brief and painless: 1. The opening of 4711 2. The scent of lemon balm cough drops 3. The artificial lemon aroma of a dessert cream from the famous food chemists in Bielefeld. I have known all three scents since my childhood....

Now Düsseldorf also has an A&F store. Of course, it's on the KÖ and of course, it has everything that you've already heard and read about. I really don't belong to the target audience of this label, neither by age nor by appearance....

Interesting! The brand Calvin Klein is launching its own recycling program. My brother recommended that I try this new fragrance. He said it wouldn’t smell typically like a Calvin Klein scent. He was right and yet not. So I venture...

I want wine pure! When I order Sauerbraten, it should come with raisins in the sauce! When I buy Christstollen, I expect it to have candied lemon and orange peel! I want to drink coffee that tastes...

Comme de Garcons has once again brought something truly quirky to the market. When I read the fragrance components, I imagined an explosion of organic chemical aromas and flowers. So, sniffing glue in a blooming...

This is supposed to be a "heavenly" scent?!? I've already tested a few things from Amouage, but this one is very... um, special. On my skin, lily of the valley, jasmine, and nutmeg develop into a disgusting animalic note....
