"Bait for Men"
Man, I was so hyped on that perfume! I like Jeremy and most of his recommendations. Through his earlier videos I got to know and appreciate many scents. To be honest I was full of anticipation, because the setting "Date" I find very interesting and was really excited about Jeremy's interpretation of a perfect scent for such a scenario. I found Office for Men not bad, but too little compared to the counterparts from this price region. I ordered it directly on the release day. All buyers of "Office" got 50% off "Date" with a discount code and saved 110 €. To be honest, I would never have spent 220 € blind. Office was already completely overpriced in my opinion, but that topped everything! I could get really upset when I think about the price... I am willing to pay the price, BUT then everything has to fit. The fragrance must smell unique, pleasant and complex, it must perform well and the packaging must be appealing. Performance is really good with me. It lasts 10 hours and also projects decently I think the bottle itself is not bad. I find it very pleasant to hold. The spray head is good, too. Only the lid is catastrophic and insolent to me. Can you call that a lid, dear community?! Cheap is an insult to all lids that are only cheap. Now I could be accused of having to calm down and that it's just a "shutter", but I attach great importance to something like that. The love of detail is everything to me. If I want to bring out "the best perfume in the world", then everything has to be constantly at a high level and that includes the appearance. Let's face it. Why don't you just make a high-quality, sturdy lid? We're not even asking for a magnetic one. It should simply "click" and sit securely, feel high-quality. Is that too much for 220€ ?!
So much for the introduction. Let's get to the most important point: the fragrance.
When I hear the word "date" I think of a delicate, elegant, cozy, seductive cuddly scent. À la La Nuit de L'Homme and Tom Ford Noir Extreme. I got pretty hot on the creation when Jeremy described it as a collision of a creative fruit chord with masculine scents.
Did he live up to my expectations? To answer it briefly: NO!
I was really shocked and disappointed the first time I smelled him. I hadn't written him off at the time. I wanted to give him another chance. For this reason I gave him a week to hopefully change my mind and come to terms with the shock. But unfortunately the opposite has happened. It smells like an inferior party smell with fruits from the chemistry set. It smells stinging, penetrating like a rotten fruit basket. What a wonder I haven't been bothered by fruit flies yet! I can't even identify what kind of fruit we're dealing with. A mixture of Ultra Male, Azzaro Wanted and Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct. Jeremy spoke of "no budget limitations" and an "explosion of emotions." Emotion? Explosion? I just got emotional and exploded when I realized I spent so much money! Where is that oud from Laos, so expensive?! Where's the vetiver?! Where's the patchouli?! I can't even tell those scents. The scent works for me on the quick applauded. Without passion. Without a soul. Shortly brewed in the lunch break. In a video he also mentioned that the perfume needs time to finally "sit down" and smell better. You're serious? Then why don't you put it on the market when it's ready? I wish he'd be right, but I don't have much hope. Of course, I will let myself be disabused and will of course adjust my rating if time actually does him any good.
Compared to "Date", "Office" is a stroke of genius in perfume history, with a revolutionary fragrance character. Now times without fun the longer I argue with "Date", the more I learned to estimate "Office". "Date" is the last scent I'd consider on a date. I think that says it all.
In a nutshell: Moon price for a perfume, which is however lowest drawer.
