Explosive Rose Powder
I got to know the Explosive fragrance while reading the comments here. My gut told me he was something for me. And I like to listen to my gut. So I bought it blind. not a new bottle, but another used, older bottle. So far, I've almost only had good experiences with this, since the chance of getting a vintage bottle is much higher. I rarely buy new bottles. E.g. if it is anyway a newly launched fragrance, but not even then always.
Unfortunately I could not check the batchcode for the age, because Etienne Aigner is neither listed at checkfresh.com nor at checkcosmetic.net, too bad. If someone still knows a good page for batchcode checking let me know.
Now, let's get to the actual scent. I liked Explosiv immediately, so I was not deceived by my instinct. All in all it goes in the powdery-aldehyde-floral-spicy direction and would also fit well into the seventies.
Explosive "detonates" with an aldehyde-like prelude, which was quite common in the seventies and eighties. "Old-fashioned" is what many of the younger generation will say. Well, I love that.
Well, when I was twenty I didn't like that either, only over thirty I started to appreciate aldehydes.
Some coriander joins it, but not too strong. Already more dominantly I hear the rose geranium, also called geranium, which sets the tone until the end. A little rose can still refine the rose geranium.
The rose geranium of amber and some patchouli is warmly underlaid. Oak moss is discreetly present.
The fragrance has a slightly pleasant sweetness, softened by its powdery overall picture.
It has a good durability and can be heard all day long, even if later only very close on my skin.
I like it very much, will get me another reserve bottle.
It is therefore recommended for people who like classic aldehyde pure flowery scents. Can introduce him to me in men, too. It looks good on my partner, anyway.
