About Bangkok to Koh Phangan
This is my second review. I am far from having a clue. Still, I love the idea of what the architect must have been thinking. Now this is my interpretation:


The start of the scent is at least as exciting as your first night in Bangkok and the beginning of a journey. As soon as you arrive at the hostel, it's straight onto Khaosan Road. Someone accidentally runs into you and you have your grapefruit juice now on your linen shirt.

It's night, still warm but more bearable. Shops and restaurants line up and countless spices hang in the air, rising to your nose. Your olfactory memory makes you smile. It smells somehow always the same but still a little bit different every time. You will also store this smell and keep it for the cold days at home.

Tired, with a smile you fall into your sleep and already tomorrow you are on Koh Phangan. ...

You love these temples and can enjoy the atmosphere and silence for hours. Every temple smells like those incense sticks with patchouli and incense.

Late in the evening on the beach, you sit down with a group of Thais and Europeans at the campfire. All sorts of woods flame together and dance in the moonlight. You are deeply relaxed and holding on to every second, because you know everything is in motion and fleeting....

Arriving home, you hold your linen shirt in your hand. All the smells are preserved in the fabric and you are instantly at that night at the beach.

Surprising underdog
Of course, Christmas shopping also includes a visit to a fragrance retailer. What's new, what's out, etc. "Maybe I'll get a new one and something cheap for everyday life" was my thought. One right and one left wrist each and out of the shop-breathe deeply and wait for the heart and the base. BÄHM there was the 12.95 Euro surprise on the right hand, while Issey Miyake tried to play himself from the left into the foreground. In vain, my friend! And therefore now my first comment.

The bergamot and pepper make the fragrance more sporty than it is in the heart and that's a good thing. But that also brings the surprise after about five to ten minutes, when the heart and base gradually assert themselves. A quite harmonious play which changes between aromatic and oriental chords back and forth, depending on whether it is colder or warmer. So I can well imagine that it works very well as a signature all year round. No compliments yet, since he moved in yesterday... Let's wait and see

The durability also surprised me a lot, because I still had it on my skin this morning, of course very withdrawn but then quietly. And that's exactly what I like about him: unobtrusive without much ballyhoo, quietly masculine. Not a fragrance for proles, but guys who have arrived.

I'm really looking forward to reaching the Aigner Oud, which comes off quite positively here
