You know what an anchor is, right? I'm not talking about the metal construction with hooks used to secure ships to the bottom of a body of water. I'm talking about olfactory anchors that capture certain moments in your life and transport you back there when you inhale a scent that is painfully familiar. How often have you heard that this scent smells like my mother and that one like my childhood? And this one smells like my birthday as a child, because on that one day of the year, my favorite aunt would visit, and she smelled exactly like this perfume.
Hugo Boss Bottled or Boss No.6 smells to me just like moments from the past. Unfortunately, I can't quite grasp what it is; something vague from my youth always appears before my eyes, something good, pleasant, warm, and happy. And there seem to be several such moments. I can't really get my hands on any of them to see and understand what exactly holds me there and why this scent exists, as all of this happened before it was marketed. Or does it perhaps simply create that wonderful atmosphere of celebrating youth and carefree joy? Every time I heard it from someone else, I was transported back to those so brief and fleeting moments. I wanted to prolong them so much and finally see what held me there and why this scent kept bringing me back to them. What exactly is this anchor that has lodged itself in my consciousness and, with the help of this fragrance, gives me these flashbacks from the past?
One day, I couldn't help but ask my colleague what perfume he was wearing. It was Boss Bottled.
A great universal masculine composition. The perfume is sweet and fruity, but not gourmand. It has a freshness and herbal note, but is not a fougère. It has oakmoss, but is not a chypre... An absolutely balanced scent that suits every style of clothing, from a strict classic suit to a white t-shirt with sneakers, for every type of man, from rugged to metrosexual, in any situation, from the workday to a wedding or an opera visit, at any time of day, in any season, for any age. Do you need a universal men's fragrance? It's here. I will probably always keep it, not only as an excellent perfume but also as an olfactory anchor for my phantom memories.

I have avoided this perfume for a long time because I absolutely dislike the sharp acetone smell that arises from a poorly balanced combination of Ambrocenid and musk. I have heard about this acetone-like trail more than once and postponed getting to know the scent. But recently, I was gifted a sample of this creation. Well, that means the LORD himself decreed it.
I approached the test very cautiously - a micro-spray on my wrist. However, the fumes rose very quickly and delivered their first acetone-like blow, spreading the first notes of disappointment. There was no retreat, and I still raised my hand to my nose and, wow! - a very nice sweet bouquet of tropical fruits. Passion fruit, peach, citrus were clearly audible...
The euphoria did not last long, and nature still demanded its toll: this dirty, disgusting, acetone-like spirit crawled out, like from the movie "The Ring," and tried to capture the entire room along with reality. For a while, the room smelled of a pleasant tropical aroma, but the result was still a post-apocalyptic picture, where a tropical paradise gives way to a lifeless desert and the air is filled with ammonia vapor, with nothing alive.
Another victory of the evil Ambrocenid-musk combination over a beautiful perfume composition.

KILIAN positions itself with luxury and excellent taste. Their perfumes are verified and meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. They are very beautiful, elegant, and smoothed out, without any edges or bumps. It is very difficult to make a mistake in dosing - everything has been thought of here as well. All scents are very thin, delicate, soft, and at the same time chic.
Even if KILIAN does not convey good taste, it at least creates its illusion. And who knows, maybe it serves to get him.
"Rolling in Love" perfectly fulfills this role. It is one of the best perfumes not only by KILIAN but in the perfume world and in perfume history overall.
A pleasant, delicate sweetness with an almond-cream tint, adorned with a hint of light vanilla, transforms an hour later into a thin floral aroma with a note of wormwood (I know, it is not in the pyramid, but that is exactly the wormwood astringency).
One of my favorite scents. An art and a masterpiece at the same time in a bottle.

This is what luxury from the 70s smells like to me - true quality without fakes, natural handcrafted leather shoes, a large wide car with leather and mahogany interior, expensive mahogany-colored gentlemen's drinks, an elegant suit, beautiful classic watches, etc. Tasteful and without excess. A stylish men's fragrance.

This fragrance is a celebration! One of the best women's perfumes I have ever encountered. Delicate, ripe plum on a clean cloth. In the base, a plum note is lightly blended with a soft suede note. The perfume sounds amazing - very feminine and beautiful.
A big compliment to Sonia Constant for pure tenderness in the bottle.
