The beginning of a fragrance series? The ancestor of "blue" DNA?
The question is whether this one could be responsible for the wave of "blue scents".
I would answer this one to myself with a "yes".
Here I can see parallels to Versaces Dylan Blue. Striking, herbaceous, spicy. And underneath a synthetic appearing sweetish heaviness, which should make sure that the scent sticks
That was my first blue scent, actually. Because before that, I didn't know what to do with this category of fragrance. Why do I want to smell like soap or shower gel? But as chance would have it, I bought some more classic soaps at the same time. Among them the Speick soap. Come on guys, you know this soap. Spicy tart, powerfully invigorating. In the finer nuances the EDT from Sung differs from the soap. I just can't get over this striking resemblance Both products of their time. And groundbreaking, now that I think about it How would the sales of Sung Homme have gone had people known back then that today's older generations, but also young people, are still or will be using such fragrances? Could something like that have been foreseeable?
Then came the '90s. With their AXE scents. Davidoff with its then revolutionary Cool Water. Everything seemed to change rapidly. But the scent DNA of Sung Homme survived and secretly directed his legacy to different houses. I see parallels here to Versace's L'homme. If you sniff this scent DNA, you could think of dozens of modern scents that could be included in this list And then even Versace himself gets in on it. Dylan Blue. I don't believe in coincidence. Not here Sung Homme is an invigorating fragrance from the 80s. One might be tempted to say, "Typical." And somehow it is Imagine the 80s (once again). Big city jungle. It smells like all kinds of things. Chip shop. Curry sausage stands. Asphalt. Soaps and perfumes of other people moving in opposite directions. And it was still allowed to smoke in public. Later in the evening, alcohol flags were added. Veils of sweat in the discotheques.
The perfect setting for fragrances that are really something special. And for people who can and/or want to stay calm despite the driving hecticness.
So this classic is the perfect place to be. Sung Homme by Alfred Sung. Where Davidoff's Cool Water seems a little sweet and scratchy, where the tension of the urge is rather incited and cannot be controlled, Sung Homme keeps an iron will. He is bursting with experience and does not let himself be put off. He has already achieved a lot and continues to go on inexorably.
Even its bottle suggests big city. With a little imagination, it reminds you of a classic skyscraper I can almost imagine it is Tarzanboy from Baltimora in the background
In general, Sung Homme maintains a scent DNA that is/will be increasingly perceptible again today. Not like the Aramis DNA. Here classically soapy, often mentholy but not so much depth. Simply classic and not intrusive. And not like the Cool Water DNA either. The typical 90s "here-me-me" high spirits. I've tried. I'm just not getting anywhere with it. But with Sung Homme I found something that should be very helpful to me a little later This is the classic all-rounder fragrance. Glad they had this in the '80s. Even nicer that this DNA has also survived and is spreading.
Even here I am still very surprised that this fragrance lasts so long. I thought for a while the classic Joop was already THE bomber of fragrances. I was wrong. Sung Homme can outdo the Joop. And he usually does
Sung Homme. A fragrance DNA developed in the 80s which, despite its striking appearance and durability, inspires and activates perfume noses again this year. Well done. I hope to find more blue scents. Because somehow an ever increasing fascination is developing for this.
