Plum blue
I was told that in his younger years, Mr. Armani was occasionally seen inspecting the shop windows of his Milan boutiques on Sundays. I believe such perfectionism indiscriminately, and it is also said to be the case at his fashion shows. What puzzles me is that, on balance, he seems to be less committed, at least for the Privé fragrances launched in recent years. The fact that the things are marketed by L'Oréal is not an objection that I would like to accept. There you can undoubtedly order what you want.
I smell a plum note that I am uncomfortably familiar with, which immediately overshadows a hint of unruly jasmine. Reminds me of the 'Ambre Eccentrico', which in my opinion was not round, where a presumably hard prunol fan had challenged me quite insistently
Well, luckily the lady with the nerve potential is a bit more reserved than she was at that time. It surrounds itself with soft, woody spice. A lot of wood, when I think about it. Together with the tobacco, which can also be ticked off, this creates a depth that touches the oudige.
The problem: The latter is only perceptible directly on the skin, on top of it a fruity-vanilla mixture quickly develops, in which certain, more or less distant cherry and woodruff hints seem to me to indicate an involvement of coumarin. Our brave Jasmin grows into a respectable, soapy opponent in the second hour, but she cannot hold out and has to give up in the end.
The pale vanilla comes out undeniably synthetic in the course of the morning at the latest, as it drifts towards the pudding. In the afternoon it thickens steadily, I smell a kind of caramel with a fruity splash (plum, cherry - coumarin et al.) and unfortunately a blob of H-cream. Tobacco is limited to a peripheral location, but at least it is noticeable and I thank him inwardly for it.
By the way, the stubborn plum note is stronger than I had thought. The very next day this wannabe fruit is still hanging around my office annoyingly.
Conclusion: I had expected more from the "blue". I like 'Bleu Lazuli' better than his brother and sister - but that's not a great achievement. I find both of them disappointingly weak overall.
PS: I am curious about the new four, which are already listed here, but at least in the Alsterhaus in Hamburg they are not yet available. By the way, I heard there that the 'Myrrh Imperiale' had to be removed from the assortment. Not a good idea.
