Armani Eau Pour Homme with better stamina?
This fragrance could theoretically be called something else, for example "Eredità della Colonia" (Colonia Heritage) or "Colonia - Nuova Generazione" (Colonia - New Generation). But the fragrance has rather less to do with a vision of the future. I suspect that the house wants to create a 2.0 version to the classic that many male as well as female stars wore in the early 20th century. Olfactorically, it's probably not enough to give the fragrance an entirely new name. It doesn't quite fit into the Blu Mediterraneo range either and would probably get lost there, because by now all the colours for the different fonts on the bottle have been assigned. But back to the fragrance! The slightly feminine tendency that many associate with the Colonia classic was probably the reason for marketing a pure gentleman's fragrance, although by now the term "unisex" must have reached every marketing employee. In any case, the base of the new fragrance is the essential difference to the classic. Here, rose is swapped for a rich load of woods, so that for the majority of noses, a spicy, masculine scent with a fresh citrus kick-off is perceived. You don't need to philosophize much about the perfect citrusy kick-off with ADP. They've got that down and it's also in their tradition. They, unlike many houses, have understood (and probably experienced live with their dear grandparents in the country) what a real lemon smells like - a lemon that doesn't make it to our supermarket shelves, but didn't make it to the supermarket recall due to its rough, blotchy skin as well as its small appearance. The scent is strongly reminiscent of the Armani classic "Eau Pour Homme", which has lasted just as long as the scent of many a drugstore hand soap since it was reformulated. For a little more budget, you get a real alternative here with quality and significantly longer endurance. It's also clear that you can't expect marathon longevity from such colognes, especially since (hopefully) no extreme synthetics are used here that would otherwise artificially dope the scent. I am also curious about the rating of one of the top Parfumo reviewers, who lives in a love-hate relationship with the Armani classic due to the poor endurance. ;)
Wearer stereotype
Rather male, 40+, grounded, stylish, doesn't know t-shirts but only shirts, now and then possibly polo shirts or short-sleeved shirts, doesn't dare to experiment, lives in his successful routine, on his fragrance shelf there are very few perfumes, he doesn't know bottles in the shape of fists, gold bars, cups or dumbbells.
Conclusion
A great Colonia fragrance, classically interpreted with a great, spicy wood base.
