A good smell that showed me what's what
FdFpH is a good all-rounder. Fits always and everywhere - period.
The citric prelude is immediately enmeshed by the leather of the base, which surprises me a bit, this storming and pushing. In general, the base pushes itself forward very early with its lovely sweet tonka, which has its counterpart in woody notes - but not only!
Also the middles are always in the front. Okay, a few seconds or minutes delay, but you can't have everything. All in all, this EdT shows a quite linear progression - unfortunately this also applies to the nerve factor pink pepper. Cedar(wood) and pepper - two aromas that are similar. The cedar is harsh, but softer and more ethereal - and unfortunately, due to the pungency of the pepper, only an amplifier for that - they have to get in line. I don't like it very much, but it fits the linear course of the overall composition.
What FdFpH has taught me is that this fragrance is a kind of fifth wheel on the fragrance wagon. I can't make a comparison to the aforementioned Gucci pH II, there is a similarity to Spicebomb. One Million has already been thrown into the pot, so I prefer to throw in "Two Million" in the form of Jesus del Pozo Halloween. These two are of course much more exaggerated than FdFpH, but they also go in that direction.
FdFpH is a good scent. However, it and all its similar representatives are a category of fragrances that smell extremely quickly and become boring. Strangely enough, it is precisely here that the nose does not close and so it gets boring even faster. Wear it once a week every day and then don't want to know about it for at least half a year. No two weeks later "Well, maybe today I could do it again", but a "soft!" Then, after several months, you feel like it again, put it on and after two hours you are tired of it. That really hurts! Especially because FdFph has a really nice leather note, which, unlike other fragrances that contain leather, stretches from alpha to omega. Yeah, that hurts...
Thanks to this one fragrance, I'm learning another lesson:
in spite of my love for good fragrances, the desire to discover new things is gone! There is nothing new anymore. Everything only phase-shifted, enriched or depleted "smells like xy". There are no more character heads like Fahrenheit, Terre d'Hermes, Catalyst, Joop pour Homme, M7, Drakkar Noir, Azzaro and a handful of others. It doesn't matter if you approve of them all, only the fact that they (have been) there counts. Today everything only "smells like xy, only here a little bit brighter/darker/fruity/fruity/herber/sweeter/sweeter/sweeter - enriched or depleted just. After I have built up a small, but diversified portfolio of fragrances for my own use and some of them can't be topped for me, I still haven't given any of these fragrances the full score, because I was waiting and I'm always waiting for someone to come along who can top everything. I don't have to wait for that, as FdFpH showed me. The one that tops everything, I would have to build it myself. I have finished.
