Powerful summer fragrance with unique DNA, but unfortunately leaves stains on clothes
Today I'm going to talk about Orange Flamingo by Marc Gebauer. It is already very well known in our "bubble" and many people are talking about this perfume.

I would like to say that I really enjoyed wearing this fragrance. Unfortunately, if it weren't for this drawback, which makes Orange Flamingo a NODEAL. The fragrance leaves stains on my shirt that I can't get out. I am aware that Marc Gebauer works with a high proportion of fragrance oil, but the fact that a new shirt is unwearable afterwards means that I cannot recommend this fragrance.

Nevertheless, briefly about the fragrance:
A lovely fresh, fruity perfume that smells like fresh laundry for warm days. A great fragrance that goes with any activity in your free time. Especially in the evening I find it very suitable. The H/S is brutal.

The introverted colleague from next door
Hi folks,

today I'm going to talk about the Armani Code EDT from 2023. As soon as the fragrance came onto the market, I ordered it blind, after hearing from a few places that you can't go wrong with the fragrance. No sooner said than done, I bought the code from the big "F" at a top price for a fragrance that had just been launched,

The perfume is a pleasant, fresh, sweet and very rounded fragrance. At the beginning, the mandarin dominates and as it progresses, the Armani Code becomes creamy and beautifully woody. The wearer does nothing wrong with the fragrance. It is a crowdpleaser. BUT ... it is not a special fragrance where you get up in the morning and are already looking forward to ... boar the Armani Code right away, that would be something.
H/S is a lower mediocrity. After 4 hours, I personally smell very little of the fragrance. But I think that's exactly what Armani wanted to achieve with this serious gentleman's fragrance.

Let's keep in mind: Who is CODE suitable for?

For anyone who wants a daily fragrance that doesn't offend, is liked by everyone and doesn't make the wearer the center of attention. I would prefer to wear the fragrance in the office, as it would be far too weak on my chest in my free time (e.g. outdoors).

If this appeals to you, then you can give it a try. The price is particularly attractive. But too irrelevant for me. There are better alternatives for this type of fragrance.

Thanks for reading and have a nice evening.

A bitter disappointment
Hi everyone!

Today we're going to talk about the Roberto Ugolini brand and the 17 Rosso in particular.

How did I come across this fragrance? Well, as a fragrance lover, you can't avoid this scent.
Social media in particular is full of reviews of this fragrance. It is touted as the best in the range, is said to have a unique DNA and the H/S is said to be superhuman.
This led me to get myself a sample.

Where do I start. I sprayed on the fragrance and expected fireworks. What I got was a bitter disappointment. The fragrance smells strongly floral and musty. Even though I'm not going to make a friend here (reading the other reviews) the fragrance smells like a musty cellar where a box of flowers has fallen over. I can't get anything out of the scent.
Here I realized how individual one's own taste is and how important it is to always get a sample beforehand, especially in the niche world.
The H/S is brutal. So if you like this kind of fragrance, please go for it. BUT please test it first :). I expected something completely different from the descriptions of other perfumers and youtubers. It should also be noted that a colleague of mine also got a sample at the same time and came to the same conclusion.

I cannot make a recommendation at this point.
Thanks for reading and have a nice evening.

Synthetic bomb
Hi everyone,

for many years I have heard again and again about This is him by Z&V. A special fragrance that fits perfectly into the slightly colder season.

No sooner said than done. The TIH was already in my shopping cart.
The perfume smells slightly smoky, woody, sweet and has a distinctive incense note. Fortunately not church incense.

I really liked the fragrance at first. I got a few compliments from work colleagues and even from my partner, who is always very critical. But to be honest, I couldn't put the fragrance on after wearing it a few times.
The fragrance develops into a synthetic bomb after about 2 hours, which stays that way and gives me a headache.

The durability is strong. I can still smell the fragrance after more than 8 hours (unfortunately -,-).

No recommendation from me this time. Please test beforehand!!!

Thanks for reading and see you soon.

Is the woody, green forest burning?
Hello folks,

today I would like to share my thoughts on the Encre Noir Sport with you.

I must confess that I became aware of this fragrance through influencers on YT.
The composition of the fragrance sounded exciting and different. I refrained from buying the original Encre Noir, as it was supposed to be even more intense in its green, burnt (smoky) and coniferous way.

I bought the perfume blind on the net. Unfortunately, there is no perfumery in my region where I could have tested this green fragrance. So I didn't think twice and placed the order. After a short wait, the letter carrier arrived and brought me the ENS.

The bottle is very beautiful and feels high-quality. I found the wooden lid particularly cool. A great quality. Many fragrance houses can take a leaf out of this book.

I sprayed on Encre Noir Sport and was totally shocked. My then still very inexperienced nose had never smelled anything like it. A very dark, coniferous, woody and above all VERBRANNTER (smoky?!) fragrance. I couldn't do anything with this fragrance essence. I was very disappointed.

Every few weeks I tried this interesting perfume again. We never came together. I am particularly bothered by this burnt note. Unfortunately unwearable for me. So the fragrance was allowed to move on and hopefully a new owner will enjoy it soon.

For the first time, I can't say anything about the longevity and sillage, as I couldn't do more than a spray on my wrist. I've never had it before.

Conclusion:

If you want a special, new and above all a fragrance that stands out from the crowd, you should opt for this perfume. I personally cannot recommend this fragrance.
BUT ... Tastes are different.

So guys, thanks for reading and hope to see you soon :)
