Inherent in every ending is a beginning...
As every blossom withers and every youth
Gives way to age, every stage of life blooms,
Blossoms every wisdom also, and every virtue
In its time and may not last forever...
[Hesse]
As each stage of life bears its virtue(s), so each is also linked with fragrances, with this re-immersion into past times, into former dreams, fears, longings.
One of my greatest fears is to stand in one place, to find no courage for the next stage of life, to pause....
May be that from an objective-sober perspective, the fragrance is rather to be located under the wheel and the bottle does not have the aesthetics of a glass bead, certainly it is also not individual enough to be worn by a Harry Haller à la social Steppenwolf. Certainly also not a sensual seduction to make a courtesan like Kamala roll her eyes in lust (although it does not go down badly with some ladies, despite synthetics).
All these "flaws" notwithstanding, I associate with this fragrance an important stage of life: the first steps from adolescent to young man. The symbolism of the fist is highly alluring in these years, one believes in the harshness of a struggle for survival propagated by Nietzsche - one thinks the fragrance is unique enough to make a statement....
We all had youthfully naive views and perspectives that we can reflect on today with a sly wink, didn't we?
It sometimes doesn't take courage to wear a fragrance, but it does sometimes take courage to take the next step.
I wish us all that courage.

Who buys that? Knocked out in the first round.
A rhetorical question, because of course there will be buyers for this fragrance, I have in mind 15 to 21 year olds who dream of fast cars with loud exhaust pipes, love to watch knockout videos on Youtube and have routine in shisha building; who mistakenly believe to have with it a clear upgrade to their AXE deodorant and the (by AXE) advertised, irresistible effect on the ladies (or girls?).
The bottle is strongly reminiscent of D&G's "K", but the fragrance can not win even the comparison to "K" for itself, only in the durability he pulls away. Bottom line certainly not a repulsive or per se bad fragrance, very caramel, so sweet that you can hear his pancreas groan. For me, he jumps then but too much in the triangle between sports locker room, candy department and a testosterone sweat-soaked f*ckboy sweatpants.
Nothing scandalous, nothing polarizing, felt already umpteen times smelled (including at the three-letter Deohersteller), although I'm not a perfume fanatic who could list off the cuff fragrances on which this is oriented (where as the first Armani - Stronger With You Absolutely came to mind, which, however, is clearly more complex) I am sure that this olfactory experience brings no new facets in the world of fragrances.
Would he cost a third of its price he would certainly be an interesting gift for pubescents, but in this price league gives unfortunately the knockout in the first round.
