For me, Fragrance One - Office is an absolute dumb reach. It always fits everywhere, so I can understand the criticism when certain influencers find it too basic.
But for me, apart from the opening, the fragrance is really great.
Alberto Morillas twist on Aventus. And I think it's very successful.

About the batches.
There is the 1st (square, transparent bottle), 2nd (transparent, round bottle), 3/4th (black round bottle with black or silver cap).
I own all but the black one with the silver cap, although I haven't tested the 2nd extensively enough yet, as I reach for the 1st 99% of the time.

My conclusion:
Compared to the 3/4th, the 1st has a much stronger lasting power and sillage. The 1st roars POWER, STRENGTH, STRENGTH and not in short supply.
The 3rd is very similar to the 1st, but much quieter. It also comes out from time to time with the same number of sprays, but not as strongly as the 1st.

With the 1st I would say H/S 8-9, with the 3rd rather 6-7.

First of all; I am also a lucky winner of the fragrance sample. Thank you very much for that. I was very pleased to receive the lovely post.

Nevertheless, I will express my honest and unfiltered opinion of the fragrance below.

I sprayed the fragrance minimally on my arm once and my first impression was unfortunately somewhat negative. "Rose, vanilla and yet another typical unisex thing", I thought to myself.
The mini sprayer also projected very strongly and I generally found the fragrance very strong in the opening. This may be due to the saffron, which I learned to differentiate a day later.
As the fragrance progresses, however, it becomes weaker, softer and milder. Until I asked myself in the drydown (after about 3-4 hours): "What smells so good here?".

The color of the fragrance is beige, as depicted on and by the bottle.

I think that I myself am not the target group for the scent.
I see it more for an Arab? A woman in middle to upper management wearing a beige blazer. She has to prove her competence. Or to express part of her masculine side.
She wears Memo because she can.

On the male side, I see the fragrance on an Arab? Boy to man who wants to stand out from his all black (the style) gang. Because his life is very good in a beige sweater and light-colored jeans.
His boys call him Sunny.

I gave the bottle 10 rating because I really, really like the presentation and design of Memo Paris.

I absolutely love this fragrance.

If you know some of Nathalie Lorson's fragrances, you will recognize her signature very quickly.

What I love about the fragrance is the depth that develops beautifully in the drydown.
I find it a little difficult to describe the fragrance because it doesn't remind me of anything comparable. A very dark infusion in the sauna perhaps, but otherwise...

The durability is extremely good. Two sprays on my clothes in the morning and I can still smell it in the evening.

I find the sillage a little difficult, but would rate it as very good (8) due to its durability.

The price is unbeatable and the bottle looks extremely classy with the print and the wooden cap.

Really highly recommended, although it will be wearable for very few people.

... I honestly had written off Jacques Bogart.

But then my path crossed with this one. The Santana Bay.
And just as it should be, there was exactly 1 Souk offer.

I was lucky and received this bottle from a very, very friendly Parfumo member, and I was very excited (except for the sprayer).
Since the Fragrance Dawg already mentioned this in his YouTube video, I was prepared for it and focused on the scent.

I was amazed that you can get this DNA at such a low price.
It is quite similar to La Nuit de L'Homme and Bleue Electrique, but makes it a bit brighter in color for me. So it can be worn well during the day.

However, you definitely have to like cardamom or the La Nuit de L'Homme DNA to be able to wear this scent.
The only things I could criticize: 1. the sprayer, 2. The scent is very linear; although I can tolerate that at this price point.
For me, it's definitely a hidden gem, and I have already ordered two backup bottles.

Thanks to the Fragrance Dawg and to the very, very friendly Parfumo user :)

My first attempt with the fragrance was unfortunately rather mediocre.
I decided to wear it during summer workouts, as I like to test many scents while exercising, since I can directly see how the DNA behaves when it gets warmer.

When I was doing my warm-up on the treadmill, I had to stop after a short time because I couldn't stop coughing, probably due to the pepper.
Fortunately, it was better on the machines, but I thought to myself: "What a load of crap.".

Fortunately, I didn't write it off immediately and I tested it again yesterday and today (winter/February) and it performs significantly better for me in the colder season.

Pepper, "apple," and just a nice vibe that you get here for, in my opinion, very little money.
I chose the title deliberately, as the fragrance reminds me 10-20% of La Nuit de L'Homme (EDT) and Santana Bay, but with enough uniqueness + signature from Trussardi.
