Snifff

Jaguar can do it or Jaguar can't. This sometimes ambivalent automotive-related production and manufacturing quality also suits the classification of fragrances for my senses. Can go well, but it doesn't have to...

This signature version does not belong to the Monday fragrances:). As the pre-evaluator already wrote, the pyramid is airy green, grassy and resinous from the start. In the further course of the fragrance the whole thing becomes somehow serious. This will be the vetiver that contributes this slightly medically sterile, hypothermic note. However, I don't take it as extremely emphasized as Vetiver v. Guerlain did. Fortunately, because I don't like this one in its abruptness at all. The signature is brighter there and has become much more sociable and suitable for everyday use for me. The frankincense rounds off the number in its seriousness, whereby a light sweetish final note adds a mild finish. Overall, the fragrance appears somehow distinguished and somewhat unapproachable. It doesn't exactly cause a cuddle factor. Unless you're into refrigerators.

Fragrance carrier classifications are always very subjective, so enjoy mine with caution. I would definitely assign it to the office and not to the errand boy with the rubber sole, but to the room with the guy in the dark grey thread, light grey temples and leather soled (although of course the former could probably buy this cheapheimer rather...). He could also fit in with a surgeon - someone with no emotion bones.... well, you know.

The durability and Sillage are rather in the upper midfield, so that there is still some air left to laugh and you come out alive.

However - no, it is not an unappealing scent. I've written a little more pointedly. To be honest, I think it's really good to have a more masculine and pithy orientation. This is not a teen part and not for the club - except for over 40...

As far as I can judge this as a non-chemist, the fragrance composition is not artificial or pungent and has - at least for me - no headache factor.

Good to take with you for the price. You definitely can't smell it at every corner, it's fully suitable for office use and it has a good understatement factor. A little "grey mouse moderate", but with class and style. And - it seems more expensive than it is.

You know what it's like when you flirt with a "perfume" variant for a long time, then say "Oh come, read" and then "Well, come on, that's still, after all, a perfume blend and determines something special" and this interplay lasts so long until - of course - the former wins?

(Almost) everything has already been said about the Ur-Aramis. I, too, had commented on this and interpreted it for me as a nice, trustworthy representative fragrance. A little bit mean, as I now find myself with increasing age;) but that was also 3 years ago. Even though I have not (become) a representative in the meantime, I have now raised the scent rating to the honest, appreciative value for me. Because in the meantime, umpteen other fragrances (and derailments) have been added and I have got rid of many of them. The formation of scent opinion and perception is changing.

Meanwhile, something like a fragrance "Concentree" behavior has crept into my mind. Most of the "modern, younger" and recently added fragrances have either been stashed far back in the cupboard or have fallen victim to the gift mode. What remains is a handful (okay, 2 handfuls) of permanent scents. And many with "Back tot he Roots" character. And there it was almost compulsively logical that the Aramis Concentree now also had to come here. To say it straight away: It is and remains in the core of THE Aramis.

But: The top note and base note were rotated differently. The opulent prelude has been captured and appears duller. It also moves more quickly into the base note, where the fragrance - as usual - lasts forever. However, it has been rounded off with a very fine dash of citrus freshness. As skilful and confident as only a good bartender can be - no dripping next to it. This also takes a little away from him, the perhaps a little too dry note, which almost makes you clear your throat. The long-lasting heart note then again reflects a softer continued extract of the base note.

The extreme durability is unchanged. The scent lasted with me until the next shower day. Immense, really. The Sillage is somewhat more discreet than the normal Aramis. She doesn't knock everything off the wall right away. However, she fills the room (only) slower and is not so massive in her performance, but nevertheless she is present the whole day (with only 3 sprays).

Conclusion: The Concentree is - in a figurative sense - the tuxedo variant of the normal suit scent. The olive in the martini, so to speak. For me, however, the age rating generally remains stuck in the "elevated" spectrum. Because fortunately the Concentree is not a modern, young, screwed up variation of the normal Aramis! However, the Concentree is not quite as dust-dry and grey as the normal one. This should also give access to somewhat younger people. But only with presentation of the identification card, at least it goes to the casino.

The Concentree has been given a really great fine polish, which makes it less pompous and (even) increases the understatement factor. While the normal Aramis sometimes seems a bit too boring, dull and dull (but on a high level) for me, the Concentree has made it to the front. For me, this has turned the petty suburban representative into a district leader (please stay calm, I have nothing against representatives - there are hardly any left anyway; it's only meant as an analogy;). For me a sovereign, reliable fragrance partner with well-groomed manners and a certain portion of understatement that you don't turn up your nose about. Honestly, in terms of what sometimes blows towards you so sometimes a prominent fragrance and relief for the nose. Afraid that he might soon leave the market, I'll certainly fall into a panic buying.

This thing's got bumps. And right. Sillage and durability have sporting endurance. I'd almost call that extreme. But what use is such a fragrance if it keeps forever, but does not keep what it promises? And this even as a "twin fragrance of the (original) Kouros? That's right, I did. Problem is - Shit, he's doing it. That's all I can do. And beware: Where it is sprayed on, all shaved hair grows back without demand. Wherever.

Those who know the real Kouros will fall on their knees here. And shave and spray on it. The depth of this fragrance even knocks the original couros out of the mountain pines. This thing fills a concert hall when too much has been pressed on the tube. Boo calls not excluded...

The first time I tested it, I could hardly believe it. Who likes this fragrance, has found here the (fragrance) stone of the wise men. The top note is somewhat darker and less expansive from the start than from the (original) Kouros. The fragrance passes very quickly into the base / heart note, but remains firm and eternal on the horny level, where the fragrance brother finds only later in the finish. Voluminous and with the unmistakable, warm "Honey-Moschus-Vanilla-Mixture" it goes almost continuously to the point. Fantastic. Fantastic. This is complemented by a hint of leather, which makes the whole thing even rounder, more striking and more masculine than the (original) Kouros itself. And that's a real announcement! He uses it to loosely shave off his scented brother.

The low price is absolutely deceptive of the fragrance. No headache factor and no annoying background noise. No chemical odor or annoying.

However, the dosage form is unusual. It's not a pump, it's a spray button with (propellant) gas. There's a lot thundering on the skin - at least the first time.

So if you are looking for an at least equal (original) Kouros version, you should treat yourself to it. Everyone else can try out and experience what real Wummser can do;). Breast hair to spray on;)
