Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about this fragrance here. From "difficult to wear" to "classic" to "ice cold," everything has been said. The main focus was on the comparison between old and new....

This classic has now been around for 90 years. One of the very few that still exists in almost unchanged form. Alongside "Tabac Blond" by Caron, it was probably the first true leather scent of modern times for men. According to Tania Sanchez...

I have a somewhat divided relationship with Armani. Fashion-wise, I tend to be rather conservative and particularly committed to the (non-)color black, which I like on one hand but on the other hand, the overpriced mediocre designer...

Havana was my first men's perfume in 1995/96. I was both shocked and fascinated by the spices and aromas that sprayed out of this blue conical bottle. Until then, I was only used to Cool Water, CK One, and Be. But this one olfactorily surpassed...

We Cologne residents are famously all baptized with 4711. Who wouldn't know that? Moreover, everyone who grew up in Cologne and the surrounding area knows about grandmas with 4711-soaked cloth handkerchiefs, with which they lovingly...

Spain in summer 1983. It is hot, very hot. Pepe Gutierrez, a 1.66 m tall, slightly stocky broad-shouldered man with a mustache, three-day stubble, and the obligatory chest hair toupee stands on the roadside in Seville, attentively watching as money...

I understand nothing about perfume. I can hardly recognize individual components. And I don't mean that I can distinguish a lemon from bergamot or vanilla from tonka bean. I recognize citrus-fresh or sweet-gourmand. I also don't...

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" and "Zino"...

To get straight to the point: Valentino shows the broad mainstream mass market how it's done in 2016. Personally, I'm not really into this sweet stuff. Vanilla, cinnamon, tonka bean. None of it is really my thing. Even Tom Ford's highly...

Prometheus. Intro. Creation scene. The camera flies over wild, rugged mountains shaped over millions of years. Torrential streams, wild rivers sending their cold clear water rushing downstream. Rugged, harsh terrain. It is cold. The snow has not completely...

18.04.2016. 12:32 PM. Hürth. The time has come. Hooked by three words from Achilles' comment, this flanker came into my sights. The three words: “What about adam”. My perfume teenage love. This morning I left one forearm fragrance-free...
