The Beautiful Spirit
Luca Turin gave the fragrance four stars in his 2018 'Best Of' list, and I just had to try it. Since there was no way to test it, I just hit it blind. The notes of frankincense, leather, beaver's horny, oud, everything in it that I love, was worth the small risk. Do you think I'd personally put a star on top of it? Let's see...

Immediately after spraying on, fruity incense rises up my nose. I would not have expected this fruity note. It must be the combination of mandarin orange and davana. The whole thing rather sweetish than freshly breathed, and for a second you could think of sniffing a black cherry juice. But then you're quickly brought back into the perfume world, because a sexy animal note appears. Must be the leather paired with the beaver, awesome! Now I start to like it, and this incense, ohhhh man is the good one. Due to the oud the scent slowly becomes darker and spicy, even if it is more the western-influenced variety. Nothing with cow barn or something. In its base note Aesthete reminds me very much of M7 from YSL, because it also keeps this slightly beguiling sweetness
I like the aesthete, although he does his own thing. In the course of time he behaves a little bit different than what you are used to, because most of it happens in the first minutes and after that he hardly changes at all. What remains is a spicy, (votive) smoky and slightly fruity leather scent.

It's not quite enough for the fifth star, but I'll gladly give him 8.5 perfume points.
On my skin it has a decent durability of 8-10 hours. Sillage I would say, rather discreet, it is not a fragrance that fills a room, you could even wear it in the office without your colleagues falling off their stools.
Aesthete has rather masculine features, but due to the slightly fruity sweetness, definitely feminine attributes.

Greetings to all, Patrick ;-)

Nochmaaaaaaal! I'm
I don't want to deal with the noble, gently fruity and spicy start any further. Neither with the slight cumin sweatiness, which transforms into a leathery, but by no means inelegant animalism, quickly supplemented by violet leather with an initially distinctly petrol-like flap.

The fine inner tension between the elegant floral, light violet leather, to which jasmine adds a distinctly feminine twist, and its animal-sour counterpart, which in turn is cushioned balsamically, is also evident - albeit with great praise! - is only briefly mentioned. More stable than many a Ellena, the building seems to be erected.

For the sake of good order, it should be added that 'Aesthete' is unfortunately increasingly dominated from the early afternoon by light wood (as from the 'Shams' corner), while the floral moves to the side, but remains to be imagined to the end, finally accompanied by a touch of clean musk
All this is only a marginal topic today, anyway 'Aesthete' is not a fragrance that can or must be unravelled.

I prefer to deal with the transition from head to heart note alone. The way the seasoning brews from the start and then suddenly sends us on our journey to leather with a zest is simply sensational. Like the moment after the highest point of the roller coaster or the second the pilot gives thrust. Or the moment when the daddy accelerates swing or carousel spinning top on the playground. Nochmaaaaaaal!

The latter, of course, is basically an inappropriate picture, nothing at all about the scent is childish. Aesthete' is a perfume for the gentleman (and the lady too!) who may have picked up Heeley's 'Cuir Pleine Fleur' in his Storm and Stress days and has now become more relaxed. But none of the lived experiences is forgotten, everyone has dug deep into their personality.

Great.

I thank Serenissima for the rehearsal.

Challenging for a blonde
As, I think, cultured woman I expected from "Aesthete" that the name is program.
Hu, what was I naive!

My first impression was, "Am I in the predator house here?"
The second reminded me of parking lots in front of so-called "Muckibuden", where not only the heavy machines stand, but the air is already testosterone-packed by the clientele alone: guys who can hardly run before strength and demonstrate their masculinity just by the already worn motorcycle suit, which fits the machine, train there. And often also smell accordingly!
Not to be confused with the sort of gym in which, for example, our former governing mayor trains. There not bare strength is built up, but evenly something for the Fitness of body and sometimes also brain is done. The age-conditioned "law of gravity" (yes, that gives it quite also with men!) one tries to counteract there a little.
But could that be all? Should only the precinct be marked with "Aesthete"?

No, of course not!
Le Galion sets here on a bang at the beginning, but then finds the right twist to let his aesthete yet interesting.
Leather, woods, spices and incense, paired with jasmine, that will be something; only the "predator house" must first be crossed.
The tangerine (it remains true to itself with its light synthetic touch) meets Davana; actually a fragrance whose softness is very appealing to women in their cosmetic lines.
Maybe that's why the incense seems a little less smoky; maybe the noble saffron note plays a role.
I do not know, but am now so awake that I want to know more. Would like, oh, what - must!
Dark, almost black leather and the brittle hard gujakholz form the already somewhat accustomed prelude to a fragrance mixture that not too small animal fumes: phew, that's pretty heavy!
"Don't feed the Animals!"
But just now, as the fragrance and my now existing sympathy curve begins to lower, light emerges in the darkness: brilliant white, strong - slightly bitter, even a little bit "stinky" - jasmine in its most concentrated, absolute form!
This opens the door very wide here for aromatic erotic-warm vanilla in generous doses.
Wow! What happy hand has added this sudden turn to elegance?
This must have been an expert: everything fits at once!
Suddenly, this almost stifling masculinity becomes more sophisticated, seems to slowly fit even in a tuxedo.
Especially when sandalwood enters this very formidable fragrance stage, the step becomes easier: the heavy boot becomes a classic shoe!
White musk, one of my "problem children", rounds here very appropriately this yet very masculine fragrance creation.
An almost unexpected turn has thus occurred.

A powerful sillage and very long shelf life are already natural with these ingredients.
Surprisingly, "Aethete" is very well suited for layering with me.
Some, even a little boring fragrances suddenly have fire, not to say passion!
The fragrance power of one is mitigated, by the possibly even light "nothing" of the other - fine!
And highly recommended! It offers itself here very large field of experimentation!
Dare you simply!
(And please tell me about your experiences!)

Although the now small predator still sticks his head out of the tuxedo jacket from time to time, but "Aesthete" has now found its place.
Not business-like, not noble: this aesthete shows that dominance and power and masculinity can easily impress even outside the common "strongman" cliché.
The small, a little smelly predator, however, will always be there; must just be accepted!

I thank here Can especially that he sent me this fragrance: he has given me with it a great challenge!
Perhaps I will apply "Aesthete" now and then for my own pleasure; publicly certainly not!
For a fine-limbed blonde of my age, he is yet a number too violent!
But also not necessarily "from the edge of the bed" to push: sorry!

Unpolished leather wrapped in incense and a mild oud. A fine quality woody-leather scent with some rough edges that smoothen along the way
