Noble clary sage meets ecclesiastically delicious incense. A grapefruit in the background provides a British sharpness, while a sophisticated bourbon vanilla and a present tonka bean provide the necessary warmth!

It is December and a snowstorm is sweeping over the royal Windsor Castle in Berkshire. Fine society has gathered in the grand drawing room and is sitting around the crackling open fire. Lord Arthur tells his legendary stories, a piano plays soft sounds in the background and the children decorate the Christmas tree with colorful baubles and red beeswax candles. The essential oils of the pine needles, the crackling beech wood and the smell of freshly baked cake mingle to create an unmistakably nostalgic scent: "Royal British Christmas"

Since there are already enough excellent reviews of the fragrance, I will only add one:

Dior Homme Intense is an incredibly powdery and slightly spicy fragrance. And that is precisely why it is wonderful for layering with other fragrances. Dry leather fragrances in particular can benefit immensely from it, as it gives them a sweet depth. This turns a boring and plain leather fragrance into a real rock star ... And that's why the price of Dior Homme Intense is simply unbeatable!

Well, that says it all...

It should be said in advance that this fragrance is by no means for the untrained nose and will be somewhat overwhelming for those who have perhaps only just discovered their love of perfume...

The name and fragrance are inspired by the Iranian province of Fars, which has been world-famous for its beautiful flower gardens for centuries. And that is exactly what this fragrance is. An incredibly beautiful oriental flower garden. The lavender, rose geranium and Laotian oud combine to create an oriental floral-spicy composition that is second to none.

For anyone who has ever visited the Middle East and wants to refresh their fond memories of it, Xerjoff's Fars is just the right fragrance...
A real banger / nostalgia in a bottle

By mediocre, however, I don't mean bad at all! As with so many things in life, a healthy middle is often better than the extremes...

Lorenzo Villoresi's "Acqua di Colonia" is a wonderfully green and fresh fragrance. The bergamot, lavender and sage are bursting with energy and you feel teleported directly to the beach at Tropea in Calabria.

And despite everything, the fragrance of the perfume grandmaster of the old school is only "A triumph of mediocrity". What he does, he does well, but at the end of the day it's just an Italian interpretation of "KÖLNISCH WASSER", or as a friend of mine said: "Noble toilet stone"

Wow just wow. I have to say, I can really get excited about almost any fragrance, but this fragrance... phew where should I start.

This fragrance is so sweet, so synthetically floral that it almost knocks you off your feet when you spray it on.
"Hibiscus MahaJád" has such a captivating effect that all the smells of the outside world disappear at once. And mercy on the person sitting with you in a confined space...

Great craftsmanship or not, apart from the fact that this fragrance has an incredible sillage and longevity, I unfortunately can't find any other benevolent words...
