NoW98

A good friend and I went to Frankfurt that day to attend a concert, and we were in a good mood with no expectations.
We had some time to spare and spent it in the city center until we remembered that there is a Xerjoff store at Goetheplatz.
So we made our way there to check out the new arrivals, and after a very nice professional greeting and subsequent consultation, we had the Goetheplatz on the test strip.
It was like a fireworks display.
Simply WOW.
Unexpectedly good and very luxurious.
It was so overwhelming at that moment that we both had to take it with us :D

But enough about the impression of that day (which will always stay in my mind, among other things because of the experience), let's talk about the fragrance:

The Goetheplatz is a scent that immediately stands out with its unique signature: fruity, floral, and with a creamy luxurious feel that reminds of sun-kissed elegance.

The opening is very fruity and floral; you can clearly perceive the passion fruit merging with the creaminess of the tuberose.

As the top note slowly fades away, the white flowers become very prominent, giving the fragrance a "clean" note, again very luxurious (which runs throughout the entire fragrance journey) and very well-groomed.
It is an incredibly beautiful fragrance development.

After about 60 minutes, sandalwood and ambroxan take the lead. The creamy opulence of the beginning is now transformed into a velvety woodiness that perfectly blends with the floral heart note.

After several hours, ambroxan remains present while the roasted tonka bean and papyrus (I assume it is the papyrus) give everything a depth with a slight spiciness, which is then perceptible until the end.

In terms of longevity, everyone gets their money's worth, as I still perceive it closely to the skin after 14-15 hours.

Conclusion:


The experience that day in the store, the best concert I have ever attended, and this fragrance have led to it holding a very special place in my collection.

The Goetheplatz is such a multifaceted fragrance, leading from fruity-creamy sunbeams to luxurious floral notes and then to warm-woody depths.

Should you try it if you have the chance? Definitely!
It is the perfect fragrance for the boutique in Frankfurt and embodies the heart of Europe very well :)

The Agrias Vetiveris II opens with a very spicy citrus start, a vibrant cocktail of juicy mandarin, zesty grapefruit, and bergamot, which is by no means sweet. Above all, the ginger is clearly recognizable, giving the fragrance a spiciness that is perceptible from the very beginning.
It is directly infused with a vital energy.

After about 45 minutes, when the top notes have calmed down a bit and the fragrance development has progressed, a slightly smoky tea facet emerges that embraces the spicy ginger, almost like a poetic transition.
You can really perceive the black tea wonderfully.

Slowly, after about 60-75 minutes, the vetiver, which had occasionally made an appearance at the beginning, reveals itself.
Earthy, woody, with a fine green dryness.
A deep fragrance development is created that then becomes very balsamic/meditative in the further course.

Conclusion:

This is my first Nebiru that has opened up the artisanal world to me, which is why I am writing my first review for it here.

Agrias Vetiveris II is not a loud fragrance, but a precise interplay of freshness, spiciness, and depth.

Anyone looking for a dark/green composition will find it completely satisfying here. It is a perfect daily wear and lasts easily 9-10 hours.
It opens the doors for anyone who has not yet had any contact with Nebiru to get a good introduction to the brand.

Frederic has clearly created something that has expanded my fragrance horizon.
Thank you for that!

Definitely worth trying! :)
