Huh, Mercedes?
Yeah, read it right. and a little introduction before we begin. If you don't like it, it's best to jump on "to the actual scent"...
Meanwhile not quite so great rarity, but there are these scenting systems in cars. For MB this is then called "Air-Balance". Sense, purpose and meaningfulness should not be the topic now. I, for one, think it's great. At MB there are 4 "regular" fragrances. The first delivery(sduftnote) for normal vehicles is a scent that did not appeal to me (but was bearable). A sample set of the other fragrances is also included. Well, they didn't knock me out either. They were all kind of too "bright, fresh and sporty" for me. It's not a miracle tree level (in terms of price anyway), but not suitable for my taste (for the type of vehicle). The intensity of the scent can be adjusted; I drive on the lowest level and therefore the whole thing is really very discreet and unobtrusive. Non-scented noses would probably not even notice it.

By default, a fragrance is only loosened for the Maybach. Fortunately, this is not only available for him, but of course also in the accessory trade of MB (-> 100 ml for a little over 500,- , Yepp). But the sales size is always only 15ml flacons, which are docked to the fragrance system (in terms of price therefore well laminated....). Its scent is exactly what "touches" me in the car and also outside. The scent is called "Agarwood-Mood". The oud note together with the dark fruity harmony is simply great. In fact, so classy that I would have liked to have this scent as a "real" fragrance. It's this masculine, distinctive but subtle oud-smoky note with a dimmed fruity note that I really like in combination. This was the beginning of the odyssey and odyssey through the oud fragrance world. Because I think that many oud scents have a "pronounced rose number and floweriness" in tow and are therefore at least uni sex. Or on the other hand they are so dark-oily-dirty that it almost hurts.

And now for the actual scent.

Luckily, the odyssey could be stopped early (otherwise I could have ordered 100 ml of "Agarwood"). This boss-oud is exactly what I described before with the "Agarwood" fragrance. A bottled flanker of all things? I did not expect that. For me, the Boss Oud has (only) a small base note from the original Bottled anyway, but it contributes just the right dose of masculine alignment. For me, the Boss Oud is not (any more) recognizable as a "flanker", but has a very independent fruity and noudy note. Very nice and unexpected (and glad to have made this one). By the way, according to the packaging, among other things "Genuine, opulent oud with fragrances/spices from the Middle East" is used...soso...

The durability is good, the Sillage dimmed. I have to use a relatively large amount of sprayer to make it perceptible to my senses (and the external test noses).

I am not sure - due to the lack of warmth - if and how he does himself even on warm evenings. In summer I definitely can't imagine it, but in the evening when it gets cooler I can. I have stocked up on it for the time being, out of sockets that it disappears from the market.

Sacred Opulence and the All-Father
Aramis landed another one with that. This has become rare in recent years (or decades). However, the part is extremely extravagant, very special, actually already nischig. The blatant incense sticks / incense note described here has right Wumms. Like the whole scent. This humming hardly calms down and torches off long and intensively. Paired with the other primarily sweet components, this results in a mega-high-pitching scent cocktail of puffed herbs. Also in the end it remains (only) lovely, but becomes a little more striking and darker. It's almost a bit of a frenzy. Associations to "herbs smoked at a young age" do not arise at all...no, no. Also our keeper of order (attention wordplay) might get big eyes and pupils, if the car window is lowered for the delivery of the driving licence and the cloud evaporates from the vehicle. A subsequent pupil test should be safe.

Well, I don't know. I think I only bought it because it's pretty unique for me and a "real" Aramis. So, out of decency, somehow. I also take was not really masculine, but to women it does not fit either (except see later in the text). From the level and the speciality (not from the smell!) it should be possible to position it next to the Aramis (Classic) (unfortunately I can't find anything about first scent impressions from 1964). I had read in another commentator once, "it is not a scent but a smell". That's the way I'd see it here. The or a peculiarity, something long and sensational both have as characteristic. But I can't spontaneously think of the occasion for which I should wear it - except to go to church or as an altar boy. The fragrance could fit to the "Allvater" because of the sacral opulence (who knows the series "The Preacher"...). No kidding aside. Probably it comes across well on a lonely forest walk in autumn or winter (no matter region, the main thing is lonely). I once had an office colleague from the gothic scene. A very sweet and nice one (she had such small, sweet coffins in her potted flowers...). She always wore an extreme sweet Patchouli incense stuff unknown to me (was probably a self-creation). I think she'd like the scent. At the moment, however, I remain on the usage route.

But are 8.9 points really justified (at the moment)? Not to me.

He's the dad from the....
...patience, patience. Read it first.

The Ungaro starts off brightly and freshly. Apple... yes, okay, also... this one is well seasoned and does not annoy by exaggeration. Paired with the Grapefriut it goes fresh-fruity and lively into the fragrance course. Unpleasantly sweet orange I take (fortunately) was not. It remains pithy apple-heavy. I mean, I'm rich on cinnamon too, but it's not in the pyramid. The whole is for a quite long duration of approx. 2 hours. (I wrote down the running times extra now) and that quite clearly.

In the message it then becomes quieter, quieter and milder. A chic maritime touch is added and the fresh herbs get on the boat. But I can't really classify the Maritime Note - it's not Cool Water or Acqua, for example, the Gio note. It seems a little bit shimmers "the" Fierce note through (?). In any case, the note does not have a changing room level, but only discreetly and subliminally underlines the "freshly showered" impression. The whole thing is distributed over approx. 3 pcs

At the end of the flagpole it becomes woody, warm, cuddly and somehow creamy. And this time without vanilla. The Tonka is 100% built into every fragrance anyway, but it doesn't come to the fore here, but harmoniously flanks the vetiver and woods (which I can't really smell). The light then goes out after a good 2 hours

The Sillage is very pronounced in the beginning, but then becomes more receding in the middle part, but still clearly perceptible (= a closed room is filled). The durability on the back of the hand / the skin is rather flatter with me. When the scent's gone, it's on the skin, too. So it's not a nose pinch level.

You don't have to say anything about the price. Is a snapper, but probably only available over the net.
For me it's not important, but the bottle is murky and unwieldy. The sprayer, on the other hand, is solid.

Conclusion and clarification regarding paternity:

I'm surprised this one flies so low under the radar. Because it reminds me of a much better known scent! It's all very well balanced, elegant and skillfully interwoven (but I don't know who the perfumer is). Unobtrusive, striking, fresh and well-groomed (should also fit the wearer;) and is definitely an office clerk :) . And what delights me: The fragrance lives up to its name for once and is not a feint. This is consistently a modern, masculine agent. Okay... however, the chest is shaved and he's not a manspreading guy either. Woodcutter shirt level is also not necessarily his "strength". It smells rather elegant male and is not rough-biased. Well, who does he remind me of? Right, to the Burner Dior Sauvage who showed up a year later. The Ungaro is the dad of Dior S. Like this. Now you know that:)). If you are too stressed by the Elimi resin number and the surrounding in the diorama, try the Ungaro. It definitely comes along more "mature" and less "applied". It doesn't look as playful and boyish as the Dior, but it doesn't have any grey "rally stripes" either. It fits well in the midfield for fragrances of this kind. In addition, she has enough masculine power over a - at least for me with a good 6 spray shots caused - smell of about 7 Toller, for me unexpected (blind buy) smell.

Powerful sip from the bottle
After Les Signature Tobacco Ambré didn't get away so dolle, now it's about the Malt Cuiré from the "Les Signature" series .

And first of all: At least the performance is quite different - namely quite powerful. Sillage clearly, durability even more clearly. This is especially important to me because I used the same amount of spray as with the Tobbaco Ambré. Well, you're not supposed to conclude from "this to that".
Short on names: Malt Cuiré - means dull translated probably as much as: "malt fried". Or, to put it more finely, maybe "steamed or roasted".

I have no idea what ingredients generate this very distinctive and voluminous special malt tobacco note - is that "much" clary sage? After the relatively short start with a dark-fruity note, this concise number is at any rate quite pithy - and remains constantly strict, but subsequently becomes a bit more tobaccolike.

Optically the whole thing is garnished with a very beautiful, dark whisky-coloured colour of the scented water and a decent sprayer (the packaging for it itself is thinnest cardboard; a little unkind).

This "roasted malt" reminds me of a liquor distillery for - malt whisky. And here we come to a problem - at least for my nose: Similar to the Bentley Intense with its crass rum-start note, this Malt Cuiré also comes across strongly alcoholic - and that as a whisky-tobacco blend. That has something extraordinary about it, especially in combination with the good performance. And yes, he's sweet. However, he does not have this quitsichige Gummi Bear kindergarten sweetness, but a somehow pleasant, cozy, masculine sweetness. I basically like that too, but for me it's definitely a smell that doesn't fit into the office, even though vanilla tobacco is slowly gaining the upper hand in the end - it's a long (wobbly) road until then. At times it smells more like a night in the casino than a scent. A morning police check might also be very interesting.

Conclusion: An expressive evening fragrance. It comes across fine and ideally complements alcohol-impregnated air, especially if it is also paired with a whisky seminar, where a good pipe fragrance is added as a nightcap. No scent for bubbies, but rather for the more mature generation or for those who want to look that way. Somehow a kind of evening "lounge fragrance" - unagitated and relaxing. Especially because of the obvious unknownness and - at least for me special note - this one might be very exclusive and is guaranteed not a mainstreamer. It is also laughably cheap and there remains something for good whiskey.

The best at the end
Well, actually there would have been only a statement in it, because unfortunately there is not much to say about the fragrance. Except perhaps that the fragrance is obviously only available outside Germany and is therefore somewhat "rare". So there was no testing on site. What appealed to me was this wonderful amber color, an EdP (!), a pike and the Schnappi Award.

Top note: It's ...well. It has a slightly unpleasant, sweet-fruity note for my nose. The pyramid actually shows no negative, conspicuous scent perpetrators. But somehow there's something; I don't think I like mandarins that much. They often smell rather fruity-faulig and strained in smells....
But the whole thing quickly changes - here after a good ½ hour - into the quite acceptable, warm heart note. But nothing is really remarkable at this point either. I can't somehow emphasize or describe a particular note. It's wafting away in behavior. Also here a change is announced after good half an hour.

But then it comes. The best at the end. The really beautiful tobacco note! It is framed by a vanilla area, which does not appear in the pyramid at all. I suppose we'll be the gujaka wood then? Vetiver and sandalwood, for example, I didn't even notice. After all the sweet stuff, a slightly masculine number comes through in the base...but pretty gently eliminated.

I would place the shelf life in the upper mean value. The Sillage is rather restrained and very close to the body. A little bit typically perfumed dull and subtle.

Conclusion: Nice, vanilla tobacco scent with focus on the beautiful finish. However, he really doesn't pull out trees... And: "You have to press hard on the tube so that something happens at all. The sprayer is at least clean and powerful and releases a good dose. I wouldn't speak of an EdP here, though - much too mau. It's a shame that Hechter has missed out on an optically chic appearance here. Mmmmh...somehow a little bland commentary for a similar scent....
