If you want to pee with the big dogs..
...should also be able to lift the leg. Regarding the pricing of the Le Gemme series, I have to admit, a certain fragrance image as well as prejudices in my head:
- Flacons with precious stones on the lid
- High quality ingredients
- Much helps a lot - often rather opulent fragrances for certain occasions
- Poor availability
- Partly more (money)bill than his
Point 1 would be already fulfilled in the Le Gemme series. Quote: "Malakeos - The shining gemstone is a symbol of splendour and abundance Whereby malachite shines neither passively nor actively and strictly speaking is not a gemstone. Schnitzel Wiener Art is also not prepared with veal, which explains the price difference. Point 5 is therefore also fulfilled as far as the bottle is concerned. Last but not least, of course, you have to search for sources of supply and may end up in a Bulgari boutique. Of course with prior appointment (point 4).
So after you have paid a considerable bag of gold coins for a sample, the account is reduced and the anticipation increases. The spray finger moves shakily and reverently towards the spray head. No, stop! First sniff the said spraying unit (because the original sample is used).
The first impression captivates by a short Ähh, closely followed by a long ooooh and at the same time mistrust in the stomach area. So very different from what I thought.
I spray, still full of anticipation, the scent on my wrist, wait, wait and nose on it.
What my nostrils achieved at the same time were the following 2 impressions. 1. Like, tilted? 2. You know him!
I could have sworn off vervain/moss in the prelude. I only know this station wagon from Irish Tweed and also here I thought at first that the scent was tilted. A green-bitter note blows towards me, which irritates me personally, but does not completely deter me. In the case of Green Irish Tweed, olfactory transitions are then visible. In the case of malakeos I do not perceive transitions but musk. Admittedly the combination is interesting. I like musk. However, I can only wear a few musky scents over a longer period of time, as they seem too monotonous in the long run. With Malakeos the green prelude burns up a little bit, but it stays in the background until the base. Musk appears very present after about 30 minutes, but due to various very present fragrance molecule pillars, it appears spicy and yet slightly penetrating. This impression also makes it impossible for me to identify lavender in the fragrance. And also with Malakeos it was already that with the fragrance for me. Even though this malachite proves to be persistent, the radiance is, fortunately, very moderate and that is a good thing.
My initial, positive impression had thus changed relatively quickly into the opposite. I would also like to make an honest, personal comparison with regard to the fragrance character. Even though I don't want to offend anyone here. Otto-Kern Signature Men makes no secret of its synthetics, comes without gemstone and the 50ml cost less than 15€. In my eyes, the two are quite similar in character. In the medium term, however, the packaging material used for the 21 Otto Kern bottles will certainly cost more than a small Malakeos.
So if you have the necessary change on the high kannte and like the scent, please take it without a guilty conscience and enjoy having something special in the collection! I treat you to it from the bottom of my perfumed heart. I for my part have lost money through the test but under the bite, gained insight
