Diorminguez Homme Cologne Fresca
Adolfo Dominguez's "Agua Fresca", which can therefore be called "classic", has many sympathizers on perfume, one of whom is me. A hearty Spanish barbershop with pine, natural look and built-in Spain sympathy.
"Citrus Cedro" didn't have much in common with this "Agua Fresca", despite its name. For my nose it is very clearly based on Dior's "Homme Cologne", could almost be considered a more spiced, "Spanish" interpretation of the French freshness.
"I loved to wear "Homme Cologne" in the summer of 2013, then I quickly got over it. But a little too artificial and with too simple a scent.
"Citrus Cedro" is the better "Homme Cologne": Its opening is practically identical to Dior. Blue-citric-plastic-grapefruit. A transparent citrus note with too much laboratory flavour.
The heart note then becomes flowery like the Dior - also smells practically identical - and yet is a bit more pleasant to me. Because Dominguez has added spice and pith. Pepper and ginger stand's, is however rather an abstract spicy woodiness. Perfume ginger. But it skillfully reduces the "grapefruit blossom" artificial sweetness that I now abhor at Dior Cologne. "Citrus Cedro" is much more masculine here than the androgyne Dior.
Basis: Light musk, fresh-abstract cedar, which I otherwise despite the name hardly notice and as the preface also notes, some incense. Also here a bit paradoxical: Somehow the same Drydwon as at Cologne. But with skill added a Spanish masculine layer.
Dominguez is composed and produced in-house at Puig and you can see that absolute professionals with the whole range of fragrances are at work here. The price says nothing here about the quality, it simply gets rid of the advertising and the Dior premium.
If you like Homme Cologne, don't hesitate to try this alternative, which seems somewhat rounder and more natural overall. And those who like "Agua Fresca" will also appreciate the small reminiscences in this clearly "modern" fragrance.

According to the scents, this seems to be a new edition of the Braukmann "Classic". And thus an inexpensive men's fragrance with predominantly natural oils in the direction of "cultivated unobtrusiveness, yet pithy". Comments here to the predecessor "Classic" see great similarity to the "Man Classic" from Bogner
