What men want

Men want to be adventurers and explorers, enjoy boundless freedom as a tramp on the road or be a conqueror of hearts like a gigolo. Men love to make a grand entrance, among other things as cavaliers and men of the world, but they also like to be fearless protectors and ultimately caring family men.

In order not to digress too much in this very comprehensive discussion, I'll try to approach it from the perfume side. That's exactly what we're here on Parfumo for. I am supported by Aramis, one of my favorite brands for men's fragrances. The "Gentleman's Collection" from Aramis provides the right fragrance for all these wishes. For the adventurer there is Havana, for the tramp there is Devin, the gentleman and man of the world is best served with J-H-L and the fatherly caretaker is perfectly suited to Aramis 900. I will introduce the gigolo of the range, Tuscany per Uomo, in a moment.

As the name of the "Gentleman's Collection" suggests, all these fragrances are made for the fine gentleman, for the gentleman for whom tact, decency, sovereignty and empathy are not just empty words. Of course, anyone can and may wear anything if they want to, but for good reasons I don't wear leggings, plush skirts and purple colors myself! It just looks terrible on me!

It's hot and dry, the sun is blazing down from the sky and Tuscany per Uomo sprays a fine, citrusy and spicy surge of Tuscan joie de vivre into this shimmering air. Intense lime and lemon paired with aromatic lavender and other spices (aniseed, tarragon, caraway) together form a fresh and somewhat bitterly spicy herbal fragrance of immense depth and striking expression. This beginning is a beguiling, Tuscan stroll through meadows, gardens, groves and fields with lush, colorful roadsides. And erotic temptation lurks everywhere. Pretty locals in light, breezy clothing, holidaymakers everywhere in fashionable, revealing outfits and tanned harvest workers with inviting, winning smiles on their faces are always trying to curry favor. Everything a man, everything a gigolo could wish for. The herbaceous, spicy scent is very lively in its presence and says, speak to all those who smile at you.

Lying on the meadow, hand in hand, the fragrance now becomes a little earthy and gains a lot of sensuality and warmth with cinnamon facets without leaving the tart track and slipping into sweet realms. The cinnamon adds a touch of unobtrusive exoticism, everything is relaxed and full of sympathy for the good life. This is how the happiness of amicable togetherness smells and leaves some time for a harmonious, classic ending with a rich woody-mossy aroma in which the leather unfortunately can no longer play a role that I notice. The romance of the Gigolo is quite short (approx. 6 hours) and is not meant to last, because further amorous dalliances are already waiting, which begin fragrantly with another spray from the bottle.

Tuscany per Uomo by Aramis is not an innovative creation of artistic elegance, but a reliable, down-to-earth fragrance with a bit of pizzazz and classic values. It gives every gentleman that certain something of a seducer without ever leaving the boundaries of charming flirtation. It is simply fun to smell and wear.

For the gentleman among gentlemen, I can warmly recommend the fragrances in the "Gentleman's Collection" and I would like to thank all readers for their kind attention!

Spring cleaning

"So smell the..." says Richie and holds out his arm So I'm a good little sniffle sniffle "I know him... Tuscany." Admittedly, the bottle stood next to him on the sideboard "Hammer," right? How they did it, half of Tuscany
to get in there. I smell the red tiles, like they're in the
Sunshine murmuring... the dust from Sienna at the horse races,
if some stupid designer scent would get lost.. ...never work out. What sagste?"
"Yeah, well...some southern-spicy sunshine kind of thing..." At that moment I first hear a strong scrubbing, followed by
and a lady from maybe two weeks ago fifty sticks his head in the room.
Red plaid bandana, jeans, butt in mouth.
"Degrees ma abaschen, Junge..." and already grazes the fag on Richie's stolen Pernod ashtray from Trocadero "When I'm through, I'll tell you something about your
Perfume there...", she adds. And there goes the scrubbing in the next room further.
"Geez," says Richie "Why? Who's that? What's she doing here"?
"Gee, I thought I knew My aunt. Only makes a little bit clean. And in the evening we have her famous potato salad..."
"You old macho. Can't you do it yourself? Do you need an aunt for?"
"I'll fix your golf for you. In itself, it's hard to do.
By the way, he easily has a hundred or more perfumes at home.
Lots of men's fragrances underneath. And he likes to hear himself talk.
Just you wait..."
And he was right. Namely, shortly afterwards, it's in the doorway supported by a scrubbing brush, and goes like this:
"Well, boys, you're talking a lot of nonsense..."
I was going to say, "Why you?" but I was wrong i don't know if you're married or not "But, Auntie, I was only..." Richie interjects meekly "Now listen to me... Well - after red bricks in the sun, there can
i can't even smell anything. Not even Palio. Or horses..."
"But it's called..."
"Hush! The name is of course only for the imagination. Stuff to
Associate. Because our brain needs some kind of trigger to make the
Classify fragrance. Works well. I have it at home myself, by the way.
In the old version, which is even more powerful, although he is quite good
was reformulated. Is a well done and almost unique
A blend of freshness, spice and dry, only hinted at bittersweetness. Rustic and charming in one. Paired with a hint of cosiness
in the form of clove and cinnamon seasoning. In the base come soft moss,
a fine leather touch and delicately hinted sweetness in addition. All perfectly blended. But the basic idea is... are you still listening to me?"
"Klaro!"
"...to use everything a little more eccentrically - fresh, citric notes
with aniseed, the spicy part with hearty spices like
Caraway and tarragon, but also with cuddly ones like clove and cinnamon
the principle is actually simple, just cleverly made -
Freshness and spice."
Richie looks really thoughtful now.
"So it's like sporks," he boldly charged "Maybe better sausages, right?" I dare say cautiously
to insert.
But this is not discussed at all.
"And "Tuscany" or "Etruscan" for a name," she goes on unswervingly,
"they only give the brain the framework for the necessary associative
Shortcut. Tuscany, sun, south, maybe even
Renaissance. Something like "D12b" wouldn't quite do it..."
"But what's wrong with a name like Number Five? That's where it's headed "...Richie's even braver now "Bullshit! That's Chanel No.5. The word "Chanel" loads the scent
the scent is practically Chanel. And from that you can create niches-
learn something younger with your designer bashing..."
"With respect, I'm not really such a..." I dare say But simply be ignored.
"A lot, if not most, of really great perfumes are made of
the linking and charging of a haute couture house, so
a designer image, created with a fragrance...", she lectured cheerfully
go on. "From Alaia to Balmain, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Hèrmes,
Jil Sander, Lacroix to Valentino or Schiaparelli, to name but a few
name. And by the way, of course, something like Comme des Garcons,
that you call "niche," a classic designer brand. Rei Kawakubo
with her mixture of art, haute couture and streetwear is a
Picture book designer.
"But designer fragrances have names," Richie bravely interjects "Sure, they often have name extensions, but they only serve as
Fantasy food. Offer the imagination even more
...fabric. Like Balmain Ebène, whom you so rightly admire.
Or all the others, whether "Paris" or "Poison" or "Boy" and like
they're all named. This is the only way to develop more products.
But the actual image, the myth, the stuff of dreams,
that comes from the designer's name..."
"What about Guerlain?" Richie dares to ask "Don't worry, I'll be there. Of course there are the pure
Scented houses. Guerlain, Caron, Lauder, for example. They must be
charge their perfumes differently, even with names. Where
of course with some of the house names themselves already to the image
has become. Especially when they are so wonderful and really
earth-shattering perfumes like the three I mentioned."
"Makes sense..." Richie says softly, looking as if he already has thinking about the potato salad "...and your beloved niche fragrances are usually nothing more than just
very small scented houses. Or better said - which with whole
poor distribution. You just can't find them anywhere. Exactly that means
Niche. Has nothing to do with quality. Rather with few possibilities Often also with little know how. "Man you smell so great
"bad distribution" could be said of many a salesman Because there's not much more."
"But Auntie, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" "Sure, kid, but let me have some fun too. Some do
just the rare thing about..."
"But there are such great niche fragrances!" Richie sounds almost outraged now Kind of a light weepy thing.
"I know you do, kid. Even some exceptionally good ones But also a lot of pseudo stuff, which only works because it is so expensive
is. Sounds paradoxical, but it is. Unfortunately, enough people fall for it all the time."
"Not us!"
"Of course not. Never. "But maybe I've at least got you now the stupid word "niche" is a little bit denatured... And here comes >br /> take her into the kitchen and help me make potato salad. You can do that you'll learn something too!"
And trudging resolutely out of the room.
"Tell me - how can she talk to us like that?" I whisper to Richie before we follow her into the kitchen "She can do it - she's just a fictional character, just like us..." "You're right, of course..."
The potato salad was really very good, by the way. Basically rhenish
in the base, with bacon and cucumber, but additionally with
Pieces of pineapple and finely grated Gruyère cheese.
Real niche quality!

wear permanently or often

i have always only been able to create fragrances that don't really have anything special or flamboyant about them, but are handmade and made from good ingredients. But we all also want to smell unusual, resp. different than others, that is left over from the animal kingdom due to evolution and serves to delimit us and at the same time to reveal.
This happens in today's free scented game often disproportionately or so exuberantly (motto much helps much) or abstractly and also artificially, so that finally the natural law described above leads involuntarily to a paradox. What I mean to say is that man/woman often stands in front of the shelf and says to himself: today I want to smell quite distinctly infernal superior and forget that, let everyone check it for themselves; only the persons/scents in the positive and also inevitably mysterious remain in one's memory, which have sublimely and delicately scented. The rest, the "infernal superior" smelled, has already revealed everything immediately and often even the wrong thing.
What all this has to do with Tuscany; now he's such a candidate, he doesn't pretend anything and he's not necessarily very straight either, he just smells good, I almost only like something like that anymore.
Clear is cinnamon (which I don't really like that much), one of its clearest notes, but completely unsweet and paired with a lot of clove (isoeugenol and eugenol) and bitter orange. It is nice that here a very gentle powder/talcum is subject, which prevents the speculative effect. As said before, hardly any great parts to smell, hardly any exuberant complexity without monothematic, but just a beautiful harmonious fragrance - that alone can seem very mysterious nowadays (see above)...

One of those (almost) forgotten gems

Although Tuscany is already approaching 40, you can smell his age not so. Clearly, the fragrance is not comparable with the new synthetic blends of today. Here was still worked with the classic means of perfumery. A citrusy, fresh opening. Followed by a green, slightly spicy middle to a classic woody leathery base. Accompanied by aldehydes that give the fragrance an elegant creaminess. Tuscany doesn't seem "dated" to me. I like to wear it on balmy summer evenings when I want to spread some Italian Life Style. A decent shot of masculinity and elegance spreads the fragrance in my eyes. For the price, the fragrance seems really high quality. Tom Ford would call here at least 300, - € for and the people would be inspired by the outstanding smell quality. Long live professional marketing. Nice that Aramis could save his classic fragrances into the modern era. Presumably these fragrances will soon no longer exist. So if you're looking for a well-made fragrance beyond today's one-size-fits-all, take heart and try Tuscany. By the way, the leather in the drydown is really well done. Buy while it is still available

Azzaro pour Homme Countryside Edition

Assuming Tuscany has not been modified from its earlier version (dark red-striped box), it’s – or it was – a fantastic scent, another “cheapo” worth having. A simple, radiant, fresh-aromatic fougère full of flawless heritage elegance, cozy and warm like a balmy Sunday evening on the Tuscan hills. A brownish blend rich in woods, mossy notes, discreet yet lively spices, an aromatic herbaceous breeze with a whiff of “culinary” flavours and aniseed, a masculine bone-structure of lavender, citrus-bergamot, tobacco, all gently yet solidly rounded by a leathery-mossy base smelling of branches, grass, leaves. Autumn in a bottle, Mediterranean yet civilized, full of mannered, charming, quiet “country elegance”. Which is something that I realise it’s quite neglected in perfumery – we’ve Oriental scents, “urban” scents, minimalist stuff, gourmands, candies, yet almost no homages to retired businessmen riding their horse in their Tuscan estate. What I appreciate the most here and what I think makes Tuscany unique and so pleasant is a general feel of subtle, manly yet gentle warmth: the notes are all clean, discreet, cozy, incredibly solid but restrained at the same time. All smells “common” in a way, yet unique in the way it’s elaborated. By the way, I agree with the similarity to Azzaro, even if Tuscany smells a bit more round, "country" and gentle to me. Absolutely modern and versatile, probably unappealing to younger/trendier audiences, but that’s their problem...

8,5/10
