A Fougère Scent for Masculine Men
I received this fragrance as a gift and ... it is good. That’s clear from the start, the scent is well made.
As expected, this fragrance offers a nice fresh, barbershop scent with its citrusy/green/soapy DNA. My first association was aftershave when I smelled it, and in my mind, I see this scent on typically masculine men. Well-groomed with a beard, a leather jacket. Casual but with taste. That’s this fragrance.
I would recommend it as a daily scent or perhaps even in the office for most, as it doesn’t clash much and has a pleasant DNA.
For me personally, this fragrance is not my thing, but it is well made and will surely suit many people :)

Nailed it
I bought this fragrance for summer 2022. I was looking for a fresh scent that sits lightly on the skin and at the same time has "that certain something." Afternoon Swim has described exactly what you can smell with its name.
The scent is not aquatic or maritime; it is more like swimming in a pool at 3 PM. Primarily, Afternoon Swim is a citrus fragrance, but it has a certain "bluish" touch. The orange/tangerine is definitely the most prominent player in this composition - be prepared for that.
For everyday wear in summer to late summer, I can recommend this fragrance to anyone. It is very pleasant and at the same time not a "normal" citrus scent.
Now the "but"
The longevity of this fragrance is okay. For €280, it is not worth it in my opinion. If you want a special summer fragrance that you wear for the rest of your life - maybe. But for "a summer fragrance," I wouldn't recommend reaching so deep into your pockets.

Oud and Pepper, for a low price per ml
I bought this fragrance blind on offer. It seemed high-quality to me, and the term "Oud" piqued my then-untutored nose's interest.
I quickly bought it and unpacked it to find a peppery, then woody Oud scent that is very good for beginners. Later, I purchased Oud Wood by Tom Ford and can say that while it is weaker in comparison, it can hold its own.
This dark note that the Oud brings is not "stinky" for beginners like one might expect from stronger Oud fragrances. Nevertheless, this scent has an acceptable longevity and is truly a standout purchase compared to the plethora of fresh/woody scents.
I can recommend this fragrance for cold days and specifically for early evenings, and I can suggest a blind buy to most men :)

Unjustly criticized
I purchased this fragrance purely out of curiosity from the souk. Upon unpacking, I immediately noticed that the bottle is very well made. The cap is heavy, the plaque is of high quality, and the spray nozzle delivers a good amount. Visually, the reference to MFK is obvious, yet not in bad taste.
The scent itself also leans towards the classic BR 440 DNA. I even find it better than the original! In the opening, it comes off slightly alcoholic, but this is only brief. In the long run, Orodion is a sweet, slightly woody fragrance that fits well in the summer.
I can recommend it to most men who are interested in a sweet fragrance for the summer and the warmer days of the year.

Strong, Less Dark Leather Glove
I acquired this fragrance as a miniature - for testing, I can only recommend this 7.5ml size to everyone.
This is a scent that goes face-forward in the direction of leather. The namesake falconer’s glove describes quite well what to expect, as it has little more than the very unique and high-quality leather note. A hint of sweetness mixes in - however, rather in comparison to other leather fragrances. Not the "standalone" sweet.
A long-lasting, strong leather scent for autumn.
