in a 5L canister as a bathroom cleaner? priceless!
I would like to take a stand here - on behalf of all "Freshies" - which are often associated with cleaning products for bathrooms and toilets.
Much that has even a hint of citrus is quickly compared to toilet duck and the like, as they unfortunately often share this scent group.
I can assure you: there is no toilet cleaner with real lime, bergamot, or other ingredients that make up these fresh scents. And if there is, it would likely come at a significant price.
Have I just discovered a market gap? Perfume for the toilet? Niche scents for the quiet place? While I continue to ponder this, I return to this scent here.
I find it sprayed on, first and foremost: fresh.
Very fresh!
I close my eyes and...
...nope, I'm still not sitting in, or rather at, the often-associated place. It may have smelled like this at
the Queen's; but at Jürgen's feeding trough at the train station or Erika's drinking nook at the
Wall, it doesn't smell like this at all!
In short: I like the scent; starting off very fresh, it doesn't lose that vibe, but it does weaken over time and then lets a bit of mint and musk through. All in all, it's not really suitable for the upcoming season, but for next summer, I'll stash my little sample away and be prepared!
It's not a knockout, but I wouldn't condemn it just because of its toilet duck (scent family).
And as the saying goes: "You can't choose your family"…

Thank God for Souk(ing)!
The plot right away: I love Accento!
Thanks to this great platform here and the Souk, trying out new fragrances has become a piece of cake. Many super-reliable perfumers deliver everything you’ve always wanted to try within sometimes just one day. And all of this without having to visit perfume shops that don’t carry the respective scent.
Did I mention it? I love Accento!
And YES: of course, this is subjective. I had thought that the "Overdose" was a "stronger" Accento, even though the ingredients - as can be easily read - are of course different. Nevertheless, I was under the impression that it would at least follow a fragrance family. Accento and Accento Overdose actually only share the root (name), but apart from that, they have nothing in common!
Accento is unisex for me, leaning a bit more towards the masculine. Accento Overdose is not UNISEX for me; it is simply far too floral, too fruity, very soft and yes: actually (already) too feminine. The longevity and sillage were indeed very good (at least on my skin)!
I like the scent. But on HER!
So, for anyone who has tested Accento Overdose and found it too feminine, I advise you to order the original version, Accento! They are worlds apart!
Conclusion: it’s definitely pleasant, but for me as a man, it’s not wearable. As always, it holds true here: luckily, everything is subjective; there will be men who like and wear it.

My ENT says my nose is just fine?
Xerjoff writes: "Corallo is a fragrance from the Floral Green family and is for women and men."
Objection, Your Honor!
I really thought long and hard about whether I should write something about this, but I would have been glad to read a bit more about its suitability as a UNISEX fragrance. I spontaneously inhaled a deep whiff of the ordered sample from xerjoffuniverse, thinking of my beloved - and at least outwardly - green brother "Fiero" from Xerjoff, and with joyful anticipation. What can I say? Well, my ENT is optimistic that with a bit of luck and the necessary distance, I will be able to distinguish lemon from coffee again in a few weeks...
I really don't want to offend any man here, but guys, are you really spraying THIS on yourselves?!
What could I perceive before my scent buds went on a spontaneous sit-in and refused to work? Thanks to a water cannon, I was able to at least temporarily resolve the strike. Really extremely sticky and heavy powder. Unfortunately, there was nothing else for me, nothing green, nothing floral, nothing light. If the sample hadn't been from Xerjoff, I would have guessed that something must be wrong with it.
If I had to describe a situation? 9:45 PM local time. Casablanca, Morocco. I'm sweating in a bulky leather armchair in a puff on a small side street. And no, it’s not an "Etablissement Erotique" or anything else that sounds acceptable, it’s a puff! Dark, loud oriental music, thick musty carpet on the walls, and over everything this penetrating, heavy, sticky powder...
Have I been there before? God no, heaven forbid, not there or anywhere else! But after this olfactory Hiroshima, I don’t want to go there anymore. Thank you, Corallo, for saving me from that. So you were good for something after all!
Footnote: Feelings are - fortunately - always subjective, so I really don’t want to offend anyone who truly likes this scent, but to the gentlemen who are still hesitant, I say: please! Test first - don’t take a full whiff and don’t do a blind buy. If I can save just one of you from ending up in Casablanca, my review will have been worth it. ,-)
PS: Xerjoff still has some of the best fragrances available for purchase!
