Face me father...
... kratos said to Zeus and fought to the bitter end.
So or so similarly I perceive Emperor Extrait of Parfums Vintage in comparison to Creed Aventus, a comparison that almost imposes itself.
Aventus on the one hand by many, of course also by me, absolutely idolized, a fragrance that lives forever from its image, be it the constant batch discussions or the numerous dupes,
but today is to be about Emperor Extrait which is metaphorically then represented by Kratos, who has no divine status to begin with.
Parfums Vintage is a perfume house from Great Britain which has specialized mainly in the cloning of well-known fragrances, especially Aventus with various batches
Preliminary, I collect since late 2019 fragrances and have then also bought my Aventus and can only refer to this in a comparison, but it is also far too mystical for me to deal with Aventus batches. It is simply indifferent to me, because one I would not be the type of the ready to spend a lot of money on something what perhaps my expectations for the vast sums one would have to spend would not meet.
To the fragrance:
The opening is already a battle of fruity notes, especially the dominant pineapple against the very nice patchouli musk base, which from the beginning gives the fragrance its smoky character. The pineapple is the main actor of the fragrance in the first 2 hours.
In the drydown finally joins a great pear note, for me the most beautiful part of the fragrance, simply unbeatable in combination with the smoky base, which also makes Aventus.
The eternal twist is just what I like so much, I don't know what I like better but you get both for a very long time, very homogeneous.
The fragrance eventually fades out with the smoky character.
About the performance:
The durability is with me about 10-12 hours, Sillage is pretty good, no Beastmode, rather always very well present, but still radiates very well from the skin, just typical of Extrait de Parfum.
He is a little less power than Aventus initially, hälte but longer.
To the packaging:
Well, the fragrance comes in a very nice looking, albeit equally plain box.
3 out of 10 points.
To the conclusion:
I like the word clone in relation to this fragrance is, even though it is obviously one.
It is a fragrance for Aventus lovers, which absolutely does not have to hide, on the contrary, it is for me both from the quality and DNA on a par.
With Aventus you also buy the brand name, here not.
The Emperor Extrait had to prove itself with me also first, because no less than Aventus itself was the measure and he has with bravura.
Just as in the end Kratos, who is a demigod, Zeus struck down the father of the gods,
so too, in the end, Emperor Extrait is my narrow winner.

Attention! We have a winner!
The beautiful leather-iris combination in this masterpiece of perfume art is simply kneeling down and gives this flanker a slight masculine attitude in contrast to "Dior Homme Intense (2011)", which is rather unisex for some.
In the fragrance development, the iris note plays the leading role at first and is then replaced in the drydown by the very prominent leather and wood notes, but always remains present.
That's what "Dior Homme Parfum" means to me: the noble interaction of a more feminine iris note and a more masculine leather note, like fire and water, like yin and yang
You don't need to say much about the performance: definition of beast fashion, stays on the skin easy +12 hours or until the next shower, on clothes it lasts several weeks, no fun.
Sillage is especially in the first hours enormous and then becomes a little softer, but it is one of the few fragrances that does not just lie close to the skin but now and then you get the feeling of having just sprayed on
So dose carefully, 2 - 3 sprayers are completely sufficient to get rid of it so quickly no longer
Versatiliy: Clearly an autumn/winter fragrance, but also almost always wearable, at work, as a leisure fragrance, for going out, day or night, just not in the gym =)
Compliments: To whom this is important: yes there is, but of course this is not a typical designer DNA and therefore not necessarily as common as other fragrances.
And this combination of a unique scent DNA with a performance that makes even most niche brands look old makes "Dior Homme Parfum" for me the absolute best designer fragrance there is

Fair play! Rate the perfume and not the person
Office for Men is probably one of the most dissipated scents on the net.
Why that?
Well it is obvious that due to Jeremy Fragrance, which can be very polarizing, the fragrance often comes off worse than it really is
The good sides of the fragrance are in my opinion the enormous performance for a fresh scent, similar to Dior Sauvage
And exactly in this family he belongs, a Bluefragrance with similarity to the well-known representatives.
Of course, the scent is always subjective and I can imagine that the ambroxan portion of the first time you apply it for the first time causes horror to some people, it was the same for me
But the very chemical or harsh opening settles very quickly and the scent is perceived very differently when worn by another person than when sprayed on your wrist for testing
Real performance monsters in the fresh area need ingredients such as ambroxan.
That's why I understand old established perfume junkies who prefer natural ingredients and not mainstream fragrances with chemical content
I think all outside the community, quasi non-scented junkies=) will like this fragrance very much, which consists of many compliments that I have received.
To be fair you have to denounce the price a little bit, it has a very solid scent DNA, but for 2/3 of the price it would surely be a bit more fitting.
But everyone has to decide for themselves, I bought the fragrance as part of a campaign, without which I probably would not have done it.
But I wanted to express with this comment that not every Shitstorm is justified

A macabre masterpiece
If you have always been unsure which scent to wear to funerals, for example, Encre Noire will be a good choice.
This dark masterpiece is not only melancholic and unmistakably beautiful, but unfortunately also very limited in terms of versatility (for me).
The fragrance itself is, as often described here, very high quality and for the price for me simply unbeatable compared to any other fragrance in the price range.
Encre Noire is a dark, earthy fragrance with very good durability, especially on clothing.
If you like vetiver scents, you'll love it.
For myself, the scent is too dark to wear it at work, maybe I'll see it differently later, but at the moment it's just unimaginable for me.
I bought Encre Noire blind, like probably many others, and with the low price I was really fast=) and I was not disappointed at all.
So don't hesitate, I think it belongs in every collection.
Finally, I would like to say again that Encre Noire for me is more of a unisex scent and not just for men.

Ideal for the gym (and everything else)
Admittedly at the beginning I was very sceptical of this unique fragrance.
And yes, I couldn't perceive it the first time I applied it and I couldn't perceive it the second time either.
I think you have to get used to the ISO E Super first, plus the wave-like thrusts of the fragrance, as so often described here.
But what can he do????
Well, it adapts to the body's own chemistry and acts like a second skin, which can be perceived by some as clean and pure, by others as woody-fresh.
Especially in the gym I noticed that the scent, at a probably elevated body temperature, creates an extremely mysterious aura, I just have to write that.
The fragrance itself is simply a phenomenon or an experience that all fragrance lovers should have had at some point
It just feels like letting your pants down and then turning your shame into a shield.
I would like to say that at the beginning one is perhaps very unsure, because many fragrance lovers, me too, by the way, do not leave the house without a fragrance.
You feel naked and a little bit stupid for a while, because it's nothing you wear at first, at least that's what happened to me.
But my friends the environment perceives you very well and at some point you notice this scent more and more often, just a question of getting used to it.
In addition, the fragrance is great for layering, for this you have to search the forums, this goes beyond the scope, as well as to any situation, it just goes for everyone.
Finally, it can be said that it is perfectly suitable for professions with a lot of human closeness/contacts, because you can't wear an oud scent, but a discreet, individual, but still perceptible for everyone (even if only subconsciously)
