that's something again
I've smelled worse fruit head notes, but I didn't think they were convincing either, quite sweet, more for very young noses. Rather dark, red-fruity. Could be darker for my taste. Then patchouli is added, quite ok but quite common. I didn't think it was floral, only fruit far and wide. But the scent gets better and better as I progress: it becomes vanilla, patchouli goes back again, and the base is nice and powdery and looks high quality to me. Reminds me of the base of Miss Dior EdP 2017, where the one with the citrus head note has more class and is more subtle.
So not innovative, but very nice for the price range as an attractive winter and outdoor fragrance. Absolutely test on the skin, it is more intensive on - not too dry - skin, on paper I found it much weaker.
Can also be called "perfume", I think, in comparison to the unspeakable "definition" with its one-dimensional-artificial deodorant note.

Chimera
The start is very fresh and unsweet, I even thought I noticed an impact in the green. This greenish freshness is certainly bergamot, it dominates the tangerine, I think. There is also no typical purely citric top note, the heart notes already play along. White musk dilutes the fragrance. His aura reminds me of "Pleasures" by Estée Lauder, also with this one I always had such a feeling to be doped by fresh flowers, free and carefree.
For this purpose - as a motivator - I can however rather recommend the Pleasures to you, because this one weakens quite fast. After 15 minutes at the latest he becomes very close. Well, you almost don't smell anything anymore, to be exact.
But the craziest thing is yet to come: a completely different perfume appears faster on the skin and slower on paper with the base notes. A slightly sweet powder scent with a little patchouli. Reminds me very much of Miss Dior EdP, only much weaker and less sweet. So, if you like something like that, I would recommend Miss Dior EdP here too. I usually like perfumes that change, but here I wonder a little about the meaning.
However, there may be lovers who like exactly this chimerical kind of thing, a ghostly hybrid being who does not interfere.

Magic forest gnome elixir
After spraying first quite harsh - could be the oakmoss, which I normally don't like at all, but here everything is different, here it suits me. After a few seconds the fragrance becomes softer, rounder and then the fresh and citrus notes push forward. This is very invigorating or "tonifying" in aromatherapy speech.
The nice thing about this perfume is that the illustrious heart notes, for me mainly herbaceous and smelling of charcoal, later again give room for the fresh parts, so freshness to the end. Also sensual and earthy components come up and give a lot of depth. This fragrance is a bit like a magic potion, if you need or want to radiate energy and trust at the same time, refreshment and grounding.
Although, besides the chlorophyll green colour, the elegant French name has made me eager to grab the bottle, I rather don't see a palace in front of me, at the most an uninhabited one, overgrown by the forest. 'Jamais' means never/never...?
I rather have the feeling to have stumbled into the middle of a village of small forest treachery. Some drift sluggishly in the green water of their pond, others lie lazily under the trees. The little fires have already gone out. The forest floor is sprinkled with some flowers. Perhaps the end of a feast I was not allowed to see as a human being. There are still mysteries to discover how beautiful.
I bought it immediately, as all the other new fragrances that came onto the market and were tested in parallel have faded next to it.

poisoned cherry brandy?
I've never smelled anything so horrible as a perfume. Metallic, icy, sharp. Something fruity and similar to cherry juice gradually rises to the fore from this, without it losing its biting spiciness. No other fragrance development. Associations of rancid oil and vomit come into my head from time to time. I never would have thought of coconut or almond. Awesome. Perhaps if you love to be hated and, as an immature boss, like to whip the employees who have been working for 12 hours through the unholy halls of a start-up company?

The pleasure of deep breathing
What a beautiful fragrance, what an unpretentious name!
After a pleasant, light citrus note, a perfect sea scent develops for my nose. As when you come out of the water after swimming on a rocky coast, this slight algae smell rises from your skin and smells of spray, water and wind. Not much later a green note is added (I smell galbanum again), and also the cedar brings some grounding and warmth. The fresh part remains, it is the freshness of the sea and a penetrating vegetable freshness, like some essential oils, perhaps a hint of menthol? The musk soothes and rounds off. The citrus note is not as beautiful as at the beginning, synthetic takes over, but is not smelly on the skin anymore.
All in all very refreshing without being cold and soulless. The sea chord is, by the way, far away from this Davidoff Cool Water note, which I don't like and which doesn't produce any sea association.
I'd like something like that for myself, but I don't like to use men's scents...Anyway, I was looking for a gift for my treasure. A gap has recently opened up in his small collection (Puma Jamaica2 empty...) in the area of simple everyday companions, fresh, not too intense, not annoying, for work.
You should give what you would like to have yourself, hopefully the spark jumps over.
I couldn't stop sniffing my arm and the test strip alternately and the last 100ml bottle I could get hold of was already in the shopping basket. On paper, the freshness and the overall composition is maintained for hours. On my skin, a very beautiful mild aquatic note has strengthened again when I come into contact with water. The Chrome smells m.M.n. also completely differently, this one here is in the comparison also not so "perfumed" and more naturally.
Conclusion: A great summer fragrance. And swimming in the sea is more than just sport.
