Once upon a time, there was an old Italian perfume house. Its greatest masterpiece was an Eau de Cologne called "Colonia" from the year 1916. In the following decades, this masterpiece was worn by many celebrities, Hollywood...

Dear Yves. Until your death, you released olfactory real hits. The "Jazz" that I love so much, your classic "Pour homme", the Opium for men, the universally controversial love-hate "Kouros", the beginning of the oud hype...

Hello? Yes, hello! Just look at me and read on. It's me. Davidoff. Yes, Davidoff and only Davidoff. You can skip the Classic addition. Or do you see it anywhere on my packaging or bottle? See! Not there. I am the first from Grandpa Zino....

This is why I love this community so much. Without it, this treasure would have remained hidden from me for a lifetime. For my 50th comment, I saved this little gem just for you. Honor where honor is due. Wow, this has everything a man needs....

Man man man, Frau Neuffer. If you have no idea about jazz, the name of this perfume might initially seem too trendy / clichéd. Hipster = Trend / Hepster = timeless masterpiece I’m more of a rock...

The 70s and 80s were characterized by rich, mossy, heavy, room-filling, testosterone-laden distinctive fragrances like “Azzaro pour homme,” “Antaeus,” “Patou pour homme,” “Quorum,” to name just a few. A bit later, “Boss No. 1”...

What “Azzaro pour homme” is for (Aromatic) Fougères, “Aramis” is for Chypres. The reference. The standard. Everything that others inevitably have to measure themselves against. Whether they like it or not. 53 years old. It doesn’t...

Sunday. 23.07.2017. Cologne-Godorf. 18 degrees, slightly cloudy. Hair is set. And a flea market! And a gigantic one at that. I enjoy browsing flea markets. Not only for fragrances but also for all sorts of things that people no longer need...

In the past days and weeks, I have increasingly focused on the current new releases. Calvin Klein's "Obsessed," Diesel's "Bad Intense," Davidoff's "Cool Water Wave," and my current absolute negative highlight (yes, I know, that...

I will boldly propose the thesis that everyone here in this forum knows "Cool Water." And almost every one of us has come into contact with it in their life. And if this is not the case, it should be remedied as soon as possible....

I now own a well-preserved bottle that is about twenty years old, with approximately 60ml left. I can still vividly remember using it for a disco night when I was 17 and that I really didn't like it back then. Way too sweet and feminine. By the way,...
