My First Fragrance Love
It is summer about 18 years ago, my teenage self and my cousin are sitting on the beach in the evening.
Relaxing and eating ice cream from his pocket, he pulls out a sample of "Chic for Men (Eau de Toilette) | Carolina Herrera." Psst psst, and thus began a love that lasts to this day.
In the top note, I perceive mandarin and cardamom with a touch of watermelon - sounds strange - but it fits together very well.
Later, the scent becomes spicy and woody. It is by no means a freshie - for me, however, it is wearable at any time.
The longevity is unfortunately not so great, projection is moderate, but given the low price, I find that okay.
For me, a fragrance under the radar, where a test is definitely worth it.

Good BR 540 Alternative
If you are a fan of Bacarat Rouge - this is exactly the right one. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable - and this scent here does not smell medicinal in the opening like BR 540, but rather has a light touch of orange, and then the sweetness comes through. Honestly, it is more pleasant in the opening than Bacarat Rouge. It is definitely worth a blind buy - currently 25 euros for 100 ml. Longevity and sillage are also fine. All in all, the best affordable fragrance with BR 540 DNA that I know.
