And I don't want anyone no, I want them to want me!
I became aware of him through his name. Chapeu Chanel!

Then the thing is also still from the 90s and thus so right in my favorite "vintage" hunting area.

So off to the nearest perfumery and tested what the stuff holds! Nice bottle! Off on the skin with it!

WIDERLICH!!!!!!!! Ne, that's nothing for me!

But somehow he wouldn't let me go.... Somehow I wanted to like him...

A lot of time passed and every now and then I put on Egoiste again in the perfumeries. Something kept drawing me back to it. And from time to time... I liked him better!

Today it was then so far. 11:30 fight announcement, 6 splashes full Lotte and then through the city. If he performs now, then I buy him!

11:40: Wow, it's coming up quite nicely!
12:00: Hmm, maybe not mine after all?
12:30: Now I'm starting to like him! But I do not know why!?
13:00: I'll take the Egoiste. Because he keeps me busy, I want him!

And now it's 10:30pm and I'm sitting here smelling my wrist and still smelling him! Selfishly, it refuses to go away. But now the smell is very pleasant. He and I, we harmonize now.

Opening:
Coriander and tangerine in the opening are very idiosyncratic and remind me of a spicy Christmas market. Can not everyone and should not everyone.

Heart:
What comes next is more floral, but still spicy and special. The motto runs through, but he becomes "tamer".

Base:
In the later phase I really like it, leather and sandalwood, very pleasant!!!


Egoiste doesn't aim to please everyone. He is not a shower gel fragrance and also not a sweet bomb.

It is spicy, special and maculine. Ripe.

Whoever wears it knows it smells good and steals exactly that. Always aware that it doesn't suit everyone. The durability is incredibly good and the bottle very stylish.

No fragrance for every day, but one for good days! And vorallem for cold, he is absolutely no summer fragrance!

Whether he fits to you? I do not even know if he fits me! But he has me! You should definitely test it. And not just once!

Ferrari with 60 hp
It's just that DNA. I know it. Even though I may never have owned it myself, I've smelled it many times and I like it. I want it!

Mont Blanc Explorer has them!
At least a taste of it. And that's my problem!

Imagine it's a hot summer day and you're sitting in a restaurant in front of a really great pizza, with garlic of course. Then it comes, the thirst, the demand and the desire for an ice cold drink. Waiter, a coke please. And it comes. The best drink you've ever had, you think. But then comes the hitch: It's only 0.2 litres. Three sips and the bottle is empty.

What remains is the desire for more.
And exactly that describes Explorer for me best.

My daughter has a huge fun during my perfumery forays to spray different scents on paper strips and hold in front of my nose. And she did just that with Explorer. I actually never had the fragrance on the screen and smelled completely unprejudiced on the strip.
--> Boom!
That's exactly it, this great DNA, which I'm looking for! Blind purchase!

At home the next day the first real test:

Applied and purely in the fresh opener, which evaporates after a few minutes and reveals exactly what I expect: the scent of the big brother, whose name we do not have to name.
I keep smelling the back of my hand, delighted. But also longing for more.... For a higher dose. And this feeling remains. There remains a permanent desire for a more intense experience of what Mont Blanc Explorer promises me.

After +- 3 hours it is over. I myself no longer smell it on my skin. The clothes stores him a little longer, but for an EDP mmn. too little.


Too bad. The Explorer could have experienced great adventures with me. Even to the signature... But for me, unfortunately, he is too little of everything. Great fragrance, terrific bottle, priced fairly, lousy sillage and meise durability.

Is that all bad?
Not necessarily.

Explorer is a terrific gym fragrance. Who wants to smell just spontaneously for a limited time good, but not too intrusive, is best served here. Just to the meeting and in the evening maybe want another fragrance? Explorer!
Just for someone who wants this special DNA, but in a measured way.

Who wants more like me, which reaches for Club de nuit intense EDT. The is namely exactly what I would have wanted from the Explorer.

After three rounds happily knocked out
I've never written a fragrance review before and wouldn't call myself a professional or particularly talented. But this fragrance prompts me to tell you about my encounter with Sauvage Elixir.

I oute myself: I am a huge Dior fan! But Sauvage... It's difficult. It's like the FC Bayern of the perfume world. Not necessarily always better than the others, but always delivers.
A few years ago one of my lieblinge, today I prefer to reach for Dior Homme.
But somehow he haunts me. So at least a part of him. Everywhere I smell Ambroxan, I long back to him.

So when I was stocking up on Dior Homme original the other day while on vacation in Amsterdam, I got this little damn beautifully made Elixir sample to go with it. A new Sauvage, how great, who needs it...

A few evenings later before going to bed, but I overcame the curiosity: A drop on the back of the hand and off to bed. Now you have to say that I sleep badly anyway and wake up several times at night. With each wake up I smelled that night on the back of my hand and I was ... bewitched! There was something in this scent that made me really happy. So the night put the thought in my head to consider this fragrance a little closer.

Two days later, it went to the perfumery: Two sprayers left and right behind the ear, one behind the head and one on the back of the hand. Then it went through the city.

And who is still reading now, finally gets an Elixir review!

The opening slayed me! Louis de Funès knocks me spicy muscat with dark grapefruit around the ears. So the first impression is already very good. However, I should apply the next time one or two sprays less.

Round two after about 20- 30 minutes: Suddenly rolls over me a wave of sweet syrup together with a freshness, which reminded me of the wet shave of my grandpa as a child... In the poritive sense, of course... Sweet, fresh, absolutely barbershop. And that remains so for quite a while. Again and again, odor clouds Elixir knock me down, even after hours. I do not know what I like better to date, the beginning or this long-lasting phase.

About 4-5 hours later, the last round awaits me: What is this? I know that ... That is yet!? Ambroxan! There he is again, this old familiar, with which one spends time so gladly. Like that feeling when it snows at the end of December and you're looking forward to Christmas. It just feels good!

Now I'm sitting here on the night shift and just applied a few drops of the Elixir again. Simply because it makes me happy. Smell good is one thing, but there are few that trigger emotions. There is with me for Besipiel Zino, because it reminds me of my father when I was little. But this one is different. I want to smell it! Every single phase and facet!


Conclusion:
Fragrance: 9.5 of 10
3 phases fragrance, which ME each pick up in its own way. However, this is the individual Geschmakspart and I can only evaluate my point of view.

Sillage: 10 of 10
There are (to date) Only three fragrances, which I smell on myself permanently and even after a long time. Dior Homme perfume, Eisenberg le Peche and Sauvage Elixir! Absolutely strong and present fragrance that wants to be well dosed!

Durability: 10 of 10
On the skin for myself to date 8-10 hours perceptible, on clothing much longer!

Flacon: 6 of 10
Small and thick. There are more beautiful, there are worse...

Price: Not assessable.
That's where it gets tricky... On the one hand, it's quite a chunk and quite a lot compared to others of its caliber. On the other hand, what he does is fully perfect and the price probably prevents a mass phenomenon as then with the EDT. 100ml would have been super, but well.



I hope the whole thing is not too confused written and I can in one or the other a certain curiosity awaken.

That for reading!
