Aromatic bergamot, eroticizing amber meets cooling gin. I'm totally hooked. This is how a dandy must have smelled at the beginning of the 20th century. The amber comes across as woody, dry, balsamic, somewhat tobacco to bouquet-like with an aphrodisiac twist. The fragrance then gives off woody, warm but also chilled sequences (like gin on ice). Elegant, beguiling and good for compliments.
I use the eau de cologne. It's pleasantly dosed, so I can wear it to the office. Wow, what a discovery! And for a reasonable price to purchase.

I am the proud owner of the original edition.
This is a fragrance for the transition period from summer to autumn, but then also immediately with storm and fire in the fireplace.
In the beginning oriental heavy. Dark vanilla, tart orange, bitter bergamot and a touch of clove meet heavy old mahogany furniture, making it look powdery, dust-dry. He reminds me immediately after the application of Mitsouko from Guerlain.
It stays on the skin for a long time and even after five hours a pleasant scent of orange, clove and wood notes remains.

What feelings does it evoke in me?
Make yourself comfortable in the art-deco leather club chair and add a patchouli fidibus in the fireplace.

This is not a fragrance for sissies and wimps.
Here I have the English Landlord in front of my eyes, who takes out the game he has shot himself on the spot and helps to push the broken down Land-Rover, regardless of its tailor-made clothing

Now the first fragrance belongs: Luciano Pavarotti for men is one of my favourite fragrances because of its independence, complexity and freshness. He radiates pure masculinity and joie de vivre.

The second Luciano fragrance, compared with "for men", is a restrained fragrance with a different structure. Overture: It begins refreshingly citric, turns over to dark orange, paired with accents of lavender (the ordering property of lavender I like very much), violet (crazy) and reveals complex spicy notes.

In the interlude, probably through the use of incense in connection with the other spice and wood notes, a memory of Christmas remains, but not exaggerated, because these soft basic chords trigger pleasant feelings in me.

Final:
The wood and spice notes - cedar and sandalwood are perfectly integrated - do not push themselves into the foreground. In spite of its powderiness, it leaves a fresh impression on the skin throughout the entire effective phases and can therefore be used universally.
Nevertheless, wear this classic men's fragrance rather in the dark season.

Conclusion:
Together with the composer, the orchestra and the conductor, the stage design, the lighting and the related effects, the mask and the costumes, the Gesamtkunstwerk Oper. is created
I also understand this complex fragrance as an olfactory masterpiece. It's more of an Italian bel canto than a stormy Wagner opera.

Another advantage: You can still get it. I bought it a year ago on eBay for little money.

The flacon is a hand-calmer. The liquid is not red, as the photo above suggests, but pale, like its older brother.

Absolute purchase recommendation!
