Sweet, you gotta like it...
...because it's not really classic green. But one thing at a time. Fixed by an add-on bottle, a bottling had to be done here at all costs. Thanks at this point to Duftboy1966 for the supernette handling.
The small drop in the sample pruvette first smelled like gummy bears with a raspberry taste, which corresponds to the heart note of the actual perfume or my bottling. But then there's something else, scratchy green. Hard to describe, but anyone who has ever bitten a ripe banana with its shell knows what I mean. In the top note, fresh on the skin, Green Leather then has something peppery that freshens up the fruit sweetness together with a citrus-fruity note and protects the fragrance from drugstore banality. This scratchiness is well embedded in the overall concept, perhaps a little too well. This character trait of the fragrance could come across even more aggressively to me. In the drydown, this initially alcoholic peppery aspect of the fragrance changes into something leathery, but remains embedded in this gummy bear sweetness, which dominates the entire course of the fragrance. It's a special one, this Josier, a friendly, uncomplicated candidate with recognition value. Somewhat simple and certainly nothing for perfume maristocrats, but handcrafted great, also in terms of endurance and projection. You are clearly perceptible and you get a "Whiff" from time to time without really being annoying, because you're not as gimmicky as the usual suspects (Paco, Viktor, Wolfgang and what they're all called). As I said, skilfully tuned, but just wonderfully sweet. Because I don't perceive here the gladly taken woodenness, or another as typically male associated basis, the target group is not quite clear to me. He's already suitable for the office, but he lacks this business seriousness, because he's too playful. I would therefore rather place it in the leisure segment, perhaps even a fragrance just for oneself, for play children who stand for quality, for dreamers, perfumers who, when perceived by the environment, want to make a statement: "Yes, I like perfumes, even sweet ones, and that's a good thing. Look how interesting those can be, too."
