The emphasis is ALWAYS
I have to admit, after wearing my sample for the first time, I was extremely skeptical as to why this fragrance received such a rating. So he smells complex, but on the FIRST smelling not at all extraordinary.

The pineapple note in the opening paired with the hyacinth is very concise and also lasts a long time, but for me the notes from the heart and base were not clearly to filter out, even if these give an absolutely round impression. Here, someone has definitely thought about what harmony can be created with the combination of fragrances. Here you can now speak of a certain uniqueness on the second sniff, so I have encountered such a blurring of fragrance notes on the basis of olfactory perception only rarely.

Nevertheless, the big question remains , why I have already learned to appreciate this fragrance extremely when testing the sample and bought me a 100ml bottle?

The answer: because the fragrance is really always wearable!
"Always?" "Yes really always!"
"Office?" "Easy, not too intrusive! "
"Club?" "Yes, Fresh and good sillage!"
"Upscale evening event?" "But of course, so the drydown is extremely harmonious and elegant!"
"In the summer?" "Yes!"
"In winter?" "Yes, because it unfolds pleasantly despite the cold!"

What you get here from Xerjoff served in a wonderful bottle is the signature fragrance made real! If you want just one fragrance, go for Accento! This fragrance is ALWAYS wearable and does not languish like some other expensive fragrance on the shelf, because you are looking for the right occasion in vain.

The epitome of the adult man
Take a man who no longer wants to be young and wild, and combine this with the will to escape adolescence and you have the prototype of the Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum wearer.

For me, the sensible further development of the Dior Homme Intense DNA. Through the lavender in advance one gives the fragrance a touch less dryness of the powdery iris and so wraps this in a modern robe. For me, more wearable in the office than Dior Homme, perhaps a counterpart to L'Homme by Prada for the colder days. Likewise, of course, to evening wear and more upscale occasions tragbar.

Personally, I did not like the slightly alcoholic note at the beginning immediately, however, this evaporates, you know the opening at some point but to appreciate. Simply a wonderful fragrance at an affordable price with great durability.

Reports can be off-putting... Don't be fooled.
PDM Herod was first played to me as a sample and I basically liked it already then. Fruity tobacco, with a strong vanilla and light cherry in the background. H/S were quite convincing in this sample, but this should also come from a then old batch. In addition, I can imagine the fragrance quite on a woman. Since one should not think too much in categories.

What I then read in comments and reviews on the subject of falling off H/S thanks to reformulation, has deterred me so much to buy the fragrance that I hesitated for more than a year. So the price was definitely too high for me for a fragrance that is nice but is supposed to fade away after an hour by now. Therefore, first blinkers on and forget.

When I then the sample came under me again after some time and I was allowed to come into the great enjoyment of this elegant and warm fragrance, I took my money in the hand despite all warnings and invested in a new bottle.

And it came as I could not have dreamed: Despite new batch: same fragrance, same durability, same sillage. In addition, the fragrance is in my opinion rather tart and better the longer he still matures in the bottle. So don't be put off, get PDM Herod and if it doesn't perform, just give it a rest. Because Herod can and will!

My safe haven
First of all: No perfume I prefer to wear than Prada L'Homme.

It has given me just in the lockdown and mask time a pleasant feeling of cleanliness and freshness when I was just not so anxious to dress sensibly despite home office. (The fragrance could give me despite sweatpants and holey shirt a feeling of neatness that I get otherwise so from no other fragrance.)

The scent of wonderful soap, paired with the cool iris note is looking for me unparalleled. Unfortunately, I have to generally overspray the fragrance with my all-swallowing skin to get the durability, which I want minimal (just under 6-7 hours). Sillage is within the first hours also already close to the skin, but who wears fragrances for others, please? I certainly not.

Should it be then, however, but times about the opinion of other people, then I can say with certainty that this fragrance will never tarnish and usually draws positive reactions with it. Every time again a safe choice for whatever day and occasion. Commonly, the fragrance is also perceived as No. 1 office fragrance, which fits well into the just described properties.

From my side a clear recommendation for my absolute favorite fragrance.

He who walks with you in the shadows
Shadow, darkness, warmth, security.

This scent is the epitome of a single emotion for me. He highlights for me a state of well-being in their own skin and lets me fall back into this feeling with each Erhaschen the sillage. A true ego boost that rests on your shoulder like a protective hand and lets you get it all done. You just want to like smelling yourself and realize what you have on your side. Like a faithful companion, he follows you even for days on your clothes and helps you to already worn even after washing to be able to make out as a chosen garment.

The faithful companion begins heavenly fruity and then runs in a smoky desert of masculine wood and sweetish resin. The strength here lies for me personally definitely in the fact that I would wear the fragrance at any time of year and any occasion, precisely because he puts positive emotions in my head and oriental fragrances were made yes quite for the heat.

For me, Louis Vuitton has brought out a masterpiece here, which I have not experienced so yet, despite the comparisons to Tuscan Leather. The price is more than high, but for this wonderful partner on the side absolutely worthwhile.
