Superleggera = Super legger? Yes, I think so.
I actually felt like doing something really crazy on a day off - I marched into the big D and wanted to record a few impressions, I didn't even have the Superleggera on my screen yet.
I also got involved in a friendly "consultation", which actually gave me a few interesting ideas, I was expecting far fewer suitable ideas.
But then I got stuck with the Superleggera after all.
I am a big fan of the Allure series and therefore probably the exact target group for this fragrance. Starting with the Edition Blanche, I still enjoy wearing a wide variety of versions today and am thrilled by most of the facets.
Of course, the Superleggera is not a complete novelty or a revolution in the Allure formula, but I think it is a successful further development and addition that has secretly established itself as my daily driver. I find it a little less summery and aquatic than Homme Sport and therefore still wearable in the fall.
The only thing I find a little difficult is the price-performance ratio. I tested the Missoni Wave for comparison and I think it's also very good and pretty close, it costs a good third of the price. The Chanel price is hardly justifiable, but that is certainly a matter of opinion and of course the established name is also being exploited.

Zara sends me on a trip to Alexandria
WO/01 Somewoody is once again an enormously successful Zara creation, I just have to write that right at the beginning of my review.I also agree with some other opinions - the fragrance is definitely inspired by "Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" (to put it mildly).
In direct comparison, the
WO/01 Somewoody is softer, more pleasing and less spicy for me. It doesn't achieve the same presence and is also weaker in H/S.But let's be honest - the fragrance is priced at around 10% of the cost of "Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" and simply delivers.
Again, you get a great woody-creamy oud fragrance and, most importantly, one that smells significantly more expensive than the fragrance is. For anyone who likes "Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" and wants to wear the fragrance in everyday life without having to think about their wallet with every spritz, this is a wonderful choice.

My first office dailies
What a classic. Is it the most innovative, unique or individual fragrance?
Of course not.
But Boss Bottled has simply held its own for decades and that's because it's a rock-solid everyday fragrance that you can pick up in any perfumery without much fuss.
Boss Bottled was also the first bottle of perfume that I ever used up completely, simply because the fragrance always works in everyday life.
The mixture of apple and lemon on the nose has always been the first attraction for me. The fragrance transitions very elegantly into the somewhat woody/spicy part, so that it doesn't look too classic on young men either.
Simply a great mixture of sparkling fruity and spicy woody, which can be worn well with a suit, but also a T-shirt, but I personally used it mainly as an office fragrance.
One of the fragrances I would name immediately if someone asked me what you wouldn't go far wrong with in everyday life.
Of course not.

Heavy metal legend
Created for a legend and put in a bottle what I personally associate with rock, heavy metal and such a concert, but in an incredibly noble and high-quality way, this fragrance has star factor.
A heavy and strong fragrance that takes up a lot of space from the very first spray. The intense spice and leather immediately dominate, while the ensemble as a whole immediately reminds me of something very specific: Dominican mamajuana.
Dominican rum infused with herbs and woods. The exotic rum note really comes into its own, but thankfully Tony Iommi is free of a slightly medicinal touch, unlike Mamajuana sometimes.
I really couldn't imagine how a fragrance could smell more like hard rock, heavy metal and rock star, but it also makes it dominant and very present, something that doesn't always appeal to me personally.
But I know that I will definitely be wearing Tony Iommi at every future metal concert I attend, because that's exactly what I think he's perfect for. For me, this also makes it a real niche fragrance, I personally wouldn't wear it in everyday life.

Vacation in a bottle
Fresh, citrusy and aquatic fragrances always win me over, somehow they always appeal to my youthful side.
Afternoon Swim is not only an incredibly fitting name, but also one of the best aquatic summer fragrances I've smelled so far.
When I have this fragrance in my nose and close my eyes, I am on vacation on a Caribbean island again, it is early evening and light twilight. After a long day at the beach, I'm freshly showered, styled and dressed in casual clothes on my way to the restaurant for dinner.
Another image I associate with this fragrance is the Italian vacations from my early childhood. Sitting by the pool with a lemon ice cream in my hand and looking forward to jumping straight back into the cool water.
This fragrance really is a vacation in a bottle, an incredibly good summer fragrance that unfortunately shows weaknesses in the H/S area. I find this somewhat sobering, especially in view of the price, and it should also be mentioned.
