Virens
Green, youthful, blooming, fresh are the terms with which one can translate 'Virens' Not of all that applies to me to this fragrance.

Shortly after spraying on is first to smell a strong spicy note. Artemisia, saffron and the strawflower are probably responsible for it. Quite quickly, it is also leathery. The gum note mentioned in some comments remains closed to me.

After a good hour, nothing more of the spicy is to smell. Leather and resin now determine the course of 'Virens', a fresh woodiness joins after another hour.

The wood, the resin and retreating leather, this is how 'Virens' slowly fades out over the next few hours.

'Virens' has a longevity of about seven hours, the vibe gets skin deep pretty quickly. You can wear the fragrance for all occasions, it is always pleasant and never annoying. Seasonally not bound I would use 'Virens' yet in cooler temperatures.

I thank Michael23 for the sample.

Scratchy rubber boat. Prochnow style.
Now it's her turn to sample Virens. I follow the picture of the rubber boat and the tanned forearms smoothly, at the first sprayer. I like it too much to forget it. This prelude is perfect for Gomma fans, as we both are. But this fragrance is less slender than the Etro right from the start. A heavily inflated rubber boat, so to speak. And did they put vanilla in there, or a protein drink at the end?

Virens means, looked up, greening, blooming, youthful. For me, AugustA, the fragrance seems more like a full-grown virile pleasure. Some pine green to the rubber resin, yes, yes, but a thick cigar is also included. The gentleman here is wearing a coarsely knitted, scratchy woollen sweater on deck. Thick leather boots. This rubber boat captain looks experienced, serious and quiet into the distance, the stump in the corner of his mouth. He's wearing an old, weather-tanned, smoky jacket. Wool or rubber, depending on the weather. We're leaving for a few hours. It's windy.
The rubber boat from the beginning has meanwhile become a cutter or whatever boat for a real guy. Prochnow Style.

After about three to four hours it gets pretty gusty, viril becomes virulent now, without a slight cough and a scratchy throat it doesn't go off at least at AugustA, before you finally go below deck and hang away this smoky old jacket. The scent retreats to the skin, becomes calmer and it is all in all something like cosy.
A schnapps to warm you up would not be bad and would have fit in the end.
After about five hours the ship disappears again on the horizon, leaving behind a mild cigar flag. We won't be able to get this out of our clothes any time soon.

A scratchy affair.
