Uncreative entry
My entry into the circle of perfume owners, and accordingly my first comment on that very fragrance.
Even though Sun Men wasn't the first perfume to touch my skin, it was the first one I bought as a bottle.
This happened almost 5 years ago and it took almost 3 years until another bottle was added. Accordingly, Sun Men was my "signed fragrance" for a long time, which could have been due to the lack of alternatives on the shelf.
Why this one?
Well surely it was because I (from wherever) had a sample of it in my hands.
It could also be that my nose hair didn't die off immediately, like with the old 4711 bottle of my grandmother who was still flying around somewhere with my parents, that is to say I liked the smell.
And besides, as almost always in life, money played a role.
To the fragrance pyramid:
I can understand the prelude with the bergamot. Now it's getting trickier. Rosemary or cardamom and later nutmeg, I imagine to recognize. Maybe I'm just doing that because my brain says it has to be inside, so you smell that now too!
Since I don't have a garden, nor am I a botanist, I can't tell if you can see the Frangipani now or not.
A woody and sweetish base note, in my humble opinion can not be denied.
The fragrance process is relatively fluid, without my nose feeling surprised by the new fragrance components.
As already enough previous speakers remarked, and which they are also absolutely right: he never really gets off on it, wants you to feel comfortable, like on a beautiful day at the beach (according to Wikipedia Calone is also supposed to be the smell of fresh sea air).
Therefore, it is understandable and not reprehensible that some only call it a summer or holiday scent.
But now I can't get around finding out for myself: why not wear it in winter for this very reason? (Appropriately, it was already a rainy January day when I bought this perfume.)
One usseliger day in November, can already press times the mood. There help me then also times 2 sprayers from the transparent bottle.
Suddenly the mood improves, the cloudy thoughts clear up and a sunny disposition appears.
Otherwise, of course, also a real T-shirt scent for sunny weather, which I would not necessarily wear in a conservative law firm. But who am I to think that I am conservative lawyers.... Let's not do this!
How do I close the first comment?
I'm trying to bridge the gap to the title: certainly not the most creative, loudest, most sophisticated, artistic or popular thing the perfume world has produced. This was certainly not the intention either. The puristic bottle fits the content.
In retrospect I still think to myself: With the purchase everything done right, because you should start small but solid!
