Cool summer wort
With this Flanker to the more well-known, in my eyes somewhat underestimated, "Sander for Men" naturally the comparison to the six years earlier appeared smell forces itself on. (What were those times, when there was only one Flanker to a fragrance :))
For me, the original is the epitome of straight, male-spicy freshness. Those who know the fragrance with its typical autumnal clarity will know how it smells. There is hardly any difference, even if the note indication suggests something else.
The fragrance starts with the most striking difference, a very fresh, non pungent but slightly synthetic grapefruit note. It remains stable over the entire course, but quickly subordinates itself to the following fresh, ethereal spiciness. The grapefruit has a fresh fruity citricity - which becomes softer over time - and a subtle wateriness that fits perfectly into the summer
The spiciness is exactly the same as in the original fragrance, but the absence of the complex and deep cardamom spiciness is already noticeable in the precise smell. This makes the flanker look a bit simpler knitted. The somewhat subordinate clear, light, dry wood tone is also the same as in the original.
This is where the development of the summer version comes to an end, while the original is given a slight softness and indicated sweetness by the labdanum and tobacco. This makes it look a little deeper and gives off a touch more class. The smoothing, which experiences the quite strict spiciness with it, happens automatically in the Flanker by the slow fading of the smell.
The only points that bother me about both fragrances are, on the one hand, the slight synthetic effect, which tends towards the shower gel character, and, on the other hand, the cool and somewhat distanced aura. Both, however, also cause the initially really nice feeling of getting fresh out of the shower. The synthetic fabric is not a scratchy, shell-like or stabbing object, but only the permanent contact with it regularly gets on my nerves after one to two hours. But I'm also very sensitive about that. The slight unapproachability of the fragrance - as with some Sanders - which I also felt and achieved through this is also a personal matter of taste. In such a case I need at least always a friendly, appeasing counterpart, which brings in a light softness.
The shelf life of the fragrance is ok, as it is easily perceptible for about 4-5 hours. The Sillage is moderate.
All in all, Summer Cologne is an uncomplicated, unobtrusive, pleasant fragrance that can be used universally, especially in spring and summer. It is a nuance fresher and more "superficial" than the original and tuned by the grapefruit to summer. I like both scents equally well. With the exception of the top note, there is hardly any difference in the radiation. Both are good designer goods. So if you are satisfied with the original, you do not need this Flanker. Therefore, it can be easily misunderstood that this is a limited version and meanwhile an absolute rarity, which is very difficult to obtain.
