Prepotent comforter
Again and again the question arises whether these extremely expensive fragrances are actually worth their money. L for men is currently in action at a cosmetics mail order company and costs only an incredible 300€ for 50ml. Almost a gift ha?
I am of the opinion that such fragrances are either for gourmets or just collectors who really feel joy when they wear a beautiful fragrance. And THEN it is worth the money. The ceiling is slowly falling on my head here, no end in sight, our dear Mr. Chancellor announced today that the corona measures will be tightened and we will soon all wear protective masks. For me, as very enterprising and active people, these are not nice prospects ...
Clearly, no perfume is going to keep me from catching on, or my parents... The prospects won't get any less bleak when I spray myself with L for Men, but for now, it'll be a little more bearable. And that's something I really need at the moment. So YES, I'm glad I have it and it's worth every euro to me at this moment.
Overloaded screamers, craving for attention, often read about CC fragrances among the fine noses in the community. That is absolutely right. If I were a self-righteous power-hungry man, at the head of a large corporation that takes drinking water from poor people in Africa or puts shopping malls in nature reserves, I would not want to wear it (hmm whereas... the statement is funny, because I don't think I would worry about my perfume being too much). Let's agree that L for Men is a statement of a fragrance that can be very intrusive on the right/wrong person when overdosed.
On all around dreary days like today I like the scent very much. I smell mainly wood and a little bit of vetiver with the sharp-citric smell of petitgrain and grapefruit. This is very nice because it makes the fragrance look heavy and lush on the one hand, but also fresh and invigorating. Every now and then the almost to death strained rose-ud combination flashes through. More oud than rose and really very subtle. If you hear about the omnipresent Rosenouds (pah so much for... here it hasn't been found anywhere in the wild yet), you can still have a sniff in here. The opulence of the scent comes from the intensity, and that it simply smells expensive and intense, although there are not so many different scents in it, and there is also no great scent progression.
Durability and sillage are perfect. A single sprayer for the whole day should be sufficient. This puts the price into perspective, because the bottle (the lid looks as tasteless as on the picture) looks really long.
I tend to see L for Men more in men's shoes, but it is also quite wearable for women. Rosenoud in the background loosens up the overall impression a bit. The fragrance is not as gruff as it would otherwise be with wood and petitgrain.
So for me this prepotent show-off turned out to be a real comforter. I hope you all stay healthy and have treasures in your collection that will make the hard weeks a little bit more bearable
