Bad purchase with consequences...
Yes, this fragrance was a bad buy. I wanted the "L" in the non-oriental variant. So the fragrance arrived and I have directly missed the grapefruit in the opening.
But what the hell happened then???
After the first 10 seconds smelled like blinding alcohol, an insanely delicious and warm scent spread. And then I knew that even the stupid sometimes have luck. So the wrong purchase turned out to be an oriental, woody butterfly, which creates nothing but look perfect.

About the fragrance:
Opening reminds after a clinical disinfection - but only the first 10-20 seconds. After the fragrance has worked itself into the skin, there is suddenly a warmth that I have rarely perceived so. A perfectly balanced woody scent with subtle sweetness and light incense notes spreads out. The floral notes are not really individually perceptible.
The tobacco I smell personally discreetly out. The brings a small sharpness with in the game. So it becomes interesting again.
The fragrance is relatively heavy in the first 1-2 hours in the nose. After that, it smells almost samtich soft and just does well.

Durability:
The shelf life is good at THREE pushes on the neck. For the price, it would have to hold better in my opinion. But it may also be that I get a fragrance blindness after about 7 hours and I just do not smell him so intense. (This is very wahrschienlich)
I've had days that I had applied the fragrance early, 3x neck, 2x arm and I had I still smelled the next day and 2x shower later. The skin durability can scratch loosely to the 20-24 hours mark.
This probably only worked because I had not sweated excessively during this period.

Sillage:
In short, goes better. The opening is relatively large. Half-hourly it flattens out more and more. I noticed that after about 4 hours only direct people around you perceive the fragrance. Distance max. half a meter away. Since even my Prada Carbon performs better, on a longer duration.

Course:
The course is very nice but also special.
It starts with a strong alcohol note and then goes raltiv quickly into a somewhat sweeter range. Wood, tobacco and musk notes also come through well at the beginning. These become more intense, softer and warmer with increasing wearing time for one.
Finally, sweet floral notes remain, which are enveloped with a wood amber musk character.

Conclusion:
Probably this was the most expensive and best bad purchase ever. I am glad and I will continue to wear. The L Oriental is in my eyes a fragrance for colder days in autumn and winter, because he just occurs so "heavy".
Witziger white I would buy him again. Blindly, I would still recommend him to no one, because it is simply pig expensive. Who, however, the ingredients like, with my judgment something can start, then I can recommend him highly.
Was my first CC and will not have been the last.

Very great - but not like before
Got this fragrance in the summer as it was my wedding fragrance in 2015. Unfortunately, I did not know that they have since reformulated it. He is really nice, oriental, woody, very great tuned. But he just unfortunately does not remind me of the most beautiful day. Nevertheless, a great fragrance for special days. Alone the flacon together with Schatule makes tremendously what her.
