Does it really belong in the TOP 100?
The purchase was a leap of faith based on the Top 100 rating. With a score of 8.7, that's quite a number. Many well-known and significantly more expensive, even exclusive fragrances are trailing behind.
Is that justified? If we only consider the pure scent, it can be understood. Yes, it truly deserves to be higher up. But is that really all there is to it, and is it sufficient for this ranking? For me, there is definitely more to it. And that's where it falls short significantly.
My collection isn't particularly large. About 45 fragrances are in it. From expensive to cheap. However, none has less sillage. Every morning, my dear wife can smell me when I come out of my bathroom. This morning, she asked in surprise if I had forgotten to apply any fragrance. That was the first minus point already noted. Noticing this, I asked her after 2 hours in the office (we work together) if she could still perceive the scent, as I could no longer. The answer was clear, no, she didn't smell anything anymore. This had never happened to me with any fragrance before. Moving on. The bottle is not badly designed. However, it is poorly made. The small plastic emblem is crooked, and the cap is far too loose on the sprayer. The outer box also has a decent design. However, the material is too thin, and the closure of the box is not meant for frequent opening. This is a downside for me, as I keep all fragrances in their original boxes.
Conclusion:
I believe that only the bare scent does not justify such a high overall rating. A mix with different weighting would be more appropriate.
Who benefits from the low price if the scent is only noticeable when applied, especially since there are even cheaper perfumes in my collection that accompany me throughout the day much longer.
So I've vented my thoughts. But it probably won't change anything.
