One for the History Books
I find this fragrance very elegant and warm. It can be addictive. Unfortunately, it can no longer keep up with today's generation of customers, as the world of scents has changed significantly and such spicy and heavy aromatic fragrances are no longer in demand.
For me, it is a classic like KARL LAGERFELD CLASSIC or KL HOMME by Karl Lagerfeld.
Anyone who remembers these from the past knows what I mean.
This fragrance is a bomb from the very beginning, and it lasts a long time while only changing slightly in intensity. It just gets a little bit better.
A fragrance that is one of a kind. I love it even though it's old school. Unfortunately, it is no longer available for purchase, and if it is, it has become very expensive. I’m glad that I still have a bottle of it in my possession. I will cherish it.
I think production has been discontinued.

Karl in Swim Trunks
If Karl Lagerfeld were still with us, he would surely be lying on a beach chair by the sea, fanning himself as much as he could and letting this fragrance work its magic on him.
That's exactly how I imagine it when I smell this perfume. It simply smells of summer, sun, and beach, and has a hint of a well-known sunscreen.
I just say Hawaii'n SUN.
Upon spraying, the scent initially reveals its floral side. It is neither intrusive nor too strong. I would rather say it pampers you and makes you start dreaming.
Later, the COCONUT comes through, and the dream shows you the palm trees on the beach, and you can smell the coconut.
On my skin, it is still noticeable after several hours, despite washing my hands.
For me, it is a feel-good scent that gently indulges you. After the flops of the last fragrance generation, there is hope once again.
For me, it is a beautiful summer scent.
The bottle is a bit quirky but also something different. In any case, it fits well in the hand and has a high recognition value.

Awesome Fragrance!
Awesome fragrance. It starts off powerful and hits hard like a hammer, and its impact is intense.
When you spray it on fresh, it almost takes your breath away. But shortly after, it becomes softer and rounder. Gradually, it starts to reveal its true face. I can clearly recognize patchouli and musk. The other ingredients now blend together into a beautifully pleasant fresh scent.
The longevity and sillage are enormous and are immediately noticed by those around.
Since not everyone knows this fragrance anymore, I often get asked about it, and people want to know which perfume I’m wearing.
In my opinion, it is a fragrance composition that is unmatched, with an enormous recognizability.
I remember it from the 80s, and it hasn’t lost any of its intensity.
A great summer fragrance with going-out potential.
It's a shame that it is no longer produced. I managed to get a new bottle and stock up, as prices are slowly rising and it’s becoming harder to find.

An old classic with high recognition value. I find this fragrance timeless and elegant.
Upon the first spray, you notice a strong opening, which quickly develops into a soft, oriental, and pleasant scent. Even after hours, it is still perceived by those around and immediately recognized by enthusiasts.
I have been using it since the 80s and hope it remains with us for a long time.
Yes, the intensity and the scent in general are not quite the same as they were in the 80s, but for me, it still has something special, and when I wear it, it sometimes feels like a trip back in time. I still own a 125ml bottle, which is a few years older, and although it is an Eau De Cologne, I must honestly say that this cologne conveys the old "classic" better than today's Eau De Toilette. Nevertheless, I find the current version not bad and enjoy using it again and again. It is not as bad as some claim.

Insecticide to Spray On
I was at a drugstore today and, curious from the TV advertising, I sprayed this scent on my wrist.
The first impression was a biting smell, which at first, with a bit of fantasy, slightly resembled Aventus by Creed. However, this changed quickly, as after about 5-10 minutes, there was nothing of that left. It simply smelled like insecticide spray on my hand.
As for the longevity, I must say, after 2 hours there was hardly anything left (without washing my hands).
So comparing this scent to Aventus is, in my opinion, far-fetched, as the composition differs greatly.
I will not be purchasing it either, because even in this low price range, there are far better fragrances that last longer.
