Jadab begins in the Extrait version with a moderately animalistic oud note. Is this now valuable synthetic oud or natural oud? My guess is a mixture of both, with a higher percentage of synthetic. I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for that - I am not an oud expert and honestly I don't want to become one. Neither an authentic stable aroma for eaglewood connoisseurs can be found for me, nor such a monolithic modern oud base à la "Oud Royal". It flirts rather nicely here. Warm and spicy and a bit flowery. And despite the extra power, it is stylish and without pressure. The decisive factor for me is - here no note is disturbing, not even on track. The overall impression remains natural until the end and I like that very much. And until you reach the end it needs a lot of patience, believe me...

Where else to turn into the exhibited, spread, unusual, Jadab stays with himself, with me. He doesn't put his cards on the table - little scent development, but a constant stream of small particles from these equally warm and deep-flowered parts. Dimmed in the right places, the flowers sting zero, they drift slowly in the flow of fragrance - that has depth and is really well done!

This depth is never black or abysmal, not like "can you get any darker?" - the great dimension is created by an undertow of warm calming but not beguiling impressions. Jadab does not lure - rather proud self-confidence, strongly interwoven. I don't recognize individual notes, I don't even want to. Because above all there is a pleasant overall impression. Already quite masculine - although a woman with the fragrance should not appear disguised at all.

The perfume has a contemporary and refined look and according to the press release the fragrance probably creates an aura of secure self-confidence around the wearer. You don't have to believe it. One should not believe. Because Jadab doesn't want to impress anyone - and doesn't impress anyone in this expansive sense. I find that very likeable. Because whatever is true: There are some fragrances here that sound a similar horn and look much more interesting on the first few meters, and perhaps even better in the rankings. Stéphane Humbert Lucas has also created some of these candidates. "2022 Generation Man", for example, glittered on my bathroom shelf for a short time. It was usually this display that didn't let me warm up in the long run with such cannons. Sooner or later came the "All right, I get it now" moment. Now everything is right here for me. So to speak oud and fruit or dried fruit, but without "give him"

So my 10 up there shouldn't be leading anyone down the wrong path. Oud-afficiados would probably find the scent "quite nice" at best, not unique, maybe too gourmand. The Extrait of Jadab is a functional scent with depth. And a fragrance whose target group probably doesn't notice much about it. One should rather not be looking for a high-quality luxury fragrance - everything here is rather casual, even if the packaging and especially the price promise something else. Really not a fancy projection monster for special appearances, also no extravagance, only durability is really massive! (pops like a pig) In between there is always this boozy Colanote, which some of you might know from YSL M7, for a good mood, also at the "Tigre du Bengale" I had this sprinkling association.

By the way, I already had the eau under my nose - also cool, but the extra...the extra...*eyes twisted*..

Wow, I actually seem to be the first one here. It is astonishing that no Signoricci has ever commented on this, the number of classic men's fragrances from the 60s is rather manageable. In addition, with a little luck, the fragrance is still available at moderate prices.

It could be the optics. The bottle doesn't look like much. Mine looks like the one on picture 4/4: Pressed glass at the bottom, chrome-plated plastic at the top. It was rather in the allibert than on the heavy marble top of the washstand. So poor man's eau sauvage? Let's see...

This is about elegance, my ass! The top note of my Signoricci is as beautiful as ever, despite its age. Triple Zironenrittberger in your face! Whew. With proper kawumms lemons come around the corner, not the squeaky sour ones, here britzelts bitter and slightly fruity. The first lemon charge gives way to herbal and spicy citrus notes. On a light tobacco base, elegant and soft, the kick is given by crisp green notes. Everything perfectly interlocked. Simple, classic, fresh. Floating, transparent, and even a little bit sophisticated.

I do not smell the pyramid candidates Amber, Tonka bean, and civet. Instead, the base is a good deal of vetiver and very fine cedar, I suspect the rose more ... The whole thing (perfectly intertwined, did I say that already?) is an elegant, even luxurious fragrance from another time. The interesting thing here is: both recognisable from the sixties and ahead of its time. Because broad-legged, masculine, fallen out of time or something, there's nothing here. All light, floating, perfect in one... okay, I'll stop. With a few feminine yet distinctive masculine notes. For me, Signoricci plays in a league with the old Armani Eau Pour Homme, even if it is less complicated and much more summery and, admittedly, less unique.

I never get tired of the fragrance, there's nothing tiring about it, there's nothing overpowering about it. On the contrary: every spray is a little Cologne-like wake-up call. And it doesn't work without re-spraying - we discreetly get to the minus points. Unfortunately, the gentleman becomes quite fast very close, arrived there, he does not run out of breath for several hours. But the momentum of the first hour is gone... well, something's always wrong.

On the plus side, a beautiful elegant summer scent remains: at the same time modern and nostalgic in its fine austerity
