Homage to a forgotten star
To begin with, I'd like to make it clear right away that I'm not writing about the perfume in the picture here, but about its first version with the nickname "Eau Extreme" with the bottle with a brown rim, which unfortunately doesn't get a presence of its own here. It's a pity, because when I registered here many years ago, this eau de parfum was number 1 in the ranking for weeks, maybe months. It was my entry into the world of perfume and my first bottle I had in my collection. The cocoa note already had something for me at that time, something unknown and fascinating. It is conservative and daring at the same time, which sounds like a contradiction, but if you know it, you might know what I mean by it. He is earthy, spicy, sweet, warm, but adult without being stuffy. Since his production has been discontinued, or rather his successors, which have been reformulated for the fourth time, are a sad shadow of his former self, he has long disappeared from my radar. The complexity is gone, his strength, endurance and naturalness are on the shelf in a watered-down something with a similar heart note, both the top note and the base are in the dog. The price for the "original version" explodes in auctions, worldwide you can only find 2-3 bottles of it and these then up toM 5 times the former purchase price of Müller or Douglas. I consider it not only an absolute masterpiece of the art of perfume, but also one of the best perfumes I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It has taken a long time to recognize and appreciate this beauty in its full extent, sometimes you need time to get distance to understand and love something. There is also something that I suspect, but do not know... high-proof spirits like port wine, whiskey and rum become better and more valuable the older they are, a perfume is also a liquid with a high alcohol content and I have the impression that in 2020 it will be much better than I remembered it from back then, also because there are hardly any perfumes left that go on all day with a single spray like this one. It's more for special occasions, more in the evening and winter, than sport and heat. It's definitely one of those you take out of the closet just to sniff the spray and close your eyes with a smile. He reminds me why I'm here, his beauty overwhelms me and makes me ashamed that I underestimated her so much all these years that passed with the mainstream becoming flatter and flatter
