Love at second sight

With this fragrance, I have the feeling that you either love it or you hate it. It wasn't love at first smell for me either, but it has now become one of my absolute favorite fragrances that I reach for very often and will definitely buy again. If it wasn't so expensive, I would definitely have it in my backup permanently.

I chose this fragrance in November 2023 as my first fragrance in a perfume subscription box because the scent pyramid appealed to me and it promised to be fresh, green and floral. When it arrived, I unwrapped it and immediately sprayed it on my wrist with euphoria. Would this be my first niche fragrance? After sniffing it on my wrist, I was disillusioned: pepper. And a little... Salt? A salty pepper note. Hmm. Never mind, I thought to myself as I wrinkled my nose. Let's wait and see.

If you give the fragrance a little time - for me it's around 3 - 5 minutes - then the incredibly sweet and tangy notes of bergamot and mandarin unfold, and how they unfold. The pepper continues to resonate, but it is greatly muted at this point and a slight acidity joins the sweetness of the citrus, but not in an unpleasant way. Refreshing would be the best word for it. It really makes my mouth water.

Shortly afterwards, something floral joins the fruitiness, and then the coriander comes through, and I don't usually like coriander in food at all, but here it has stolen my heart. It gives the fragrance an incredibly interesting note that I've never had anywhere in my life before. Especially in combination with all the other fragrance notes-spicy, fresh, herbaceous, fruity, spicy, citrusy, floral-just everything in all, where you secretly think to yourself... that can't go together? But here, these different impressions fit together in such a harmonious way that I keep catching myself sniffing my wrist.

And then a little of the vanilla, musk and patchouli come through, which gives the fragrance such an incredible multi-faceted depth that I don't want to take my nose off my wrist.

This fragrance has taken my heart by storm. As soon as my 7.5ml bottle was empty, I bought the 100ml full size and haven't regretted it for a second. In my opinion, an absolutely unique fragrance!

Brown zone

I dimly remember art class in elementary school. Before the start of the school year, our parents received a long shopping list, on which, among other things, a Pelikan ink box was to be found. The small model with twelve colors. In retrospect, this was a very sensible decision, because my less subtle classmates* managed to turn the virgin pigment circles into a dirty dozen in no time. I quickly realized that, again, less means more. Red and blue makes purple, blue plus yellow makes green. So far so good. And if we now dig through all the clutter like a bunch of berserkers with a bristle brush to put the entire color palette on paper with sweeping circular movements and lots of pressure on top of each other as if we were Jackson Pollock on speed, we'll be rewarded with a friendly shade of brown that satisfies even the highest aesthetic demands.
Well, maybe it's more of a hazy brown - dirty, dark, undefined. A dull blended color, lacking in strength and luster. It looks to me as if the luminous solo players have been robbed of a bit of their radiance by the addition of every other protagonist. The fresh green - barely a shadow of its former self. Where has the intense red gone? Everything has combined into a dreary melange that immediately makes me dream of mud puddles in late autumn and other refreshing places of longing.

And now, enough of the inking. I close the box and wonder if there is a similar phenomenon in haute perfumery? Since one has worked at Micallef in Grasse with quite wonderful ingredients, from which my inner nose full of anticipation knitted a no less wonderful fragrance expectation. Well, where there is a lot of anticipation, sobering not infrequently triumphs.
EdenFalls is for me anyFalls (sorry, it itched so!) the olfactory analogy to the above-mentioned ink box. From a bouquet of radiant individual notes here a dull-blurred fragrance without character and presence. This may sound terribly drastic now, but it's not quite that bad. I'm giving my subjective feeling here and it tends in the direction that I wouldn't wear EdenFalls. For me, EdenFalls is a very average, profile-less fragrance without any recognition value. And on a scale of 0-10, that means 5. I deduct half a point because it really is a "fragrance without qualities".
It is citrusy and mossy in the head, here clearly standing on the masculine side, but does not remain citrusy and mossy. For a moment now, the Damocles sword of shower gel freshness also hovers over the fragrance. The heart is supposed to be floral. Supposedly. But the scent is not. In the base we then have to do with vanilla and patchouli. Theoretically. At the very end, the vanilla gains the upper hand, but again, the scent doesn't get a distinct profile anymore. At no point could I say that we are dealing with a floral, a green, a spicy (where are the spices hiding, anyway?), a fruity or a vanilla-heavy scent. EdenFalls is like Teflon with soft soap. Absolutely slick and intangible. And that's the reason I can't warm up to it. I'm simple-minded. I need clear announcements and understandable messages. I like contour. And contour is completely missing here.
EdenFalls starts out masculine, then becomes more diffuse as it progresses and, for me, much more wearable, and lingers on my skin for a very long time at this stage. The durability is ergo very neat, the projection, however, I felt as rather weak - but that is probably due to the smoothness of the fragrance and the lack of tension in combination with my resulting fragrance blindness.

Nasty is EdenFalls thereby by no means, also not extremely synthetic (my sore spot). This is definitely not a slam. Nor am I questioning its worthiness. It just doesn't touch me. It's not sweet enough for me. Wearing it doesn't make me feel more upbeat, more comfortable, or in any way more attractive.
And for fuzzy sponginess, it's just a tad too expensive for me.
Blurred lines.

Has anyone here filled Xerjoff Renaissance ???

I received my Eden Falls bottling today and I am quite frankly incredibly disappointed. I thought here comes something new and interesting, but unfortunately this is just ridiculous. I apologize at this point for my language, but what can I say here, this perfume smells just 80% like Xerjoff Renaissance plus vanilla and something synthetic to it, here it can come to headache, with me this was fortunately not the case. Eden Falls is extremely disappointing for me and unfortunately testifies to a copy & paste principle, where simply a bit of sweetness is added. I don't even want to say that much about the scent here either, as this just smells like a messed up Xerjoff Renaissance. Eden falls starts me off with the same fresh notes as Renaissance and after 2-3 minutes also gets sweeter than Renaissance right away and unfortunately stays stuck in that sweet fresh direction for the next 8-9 hours. The whole perfume just seems inconsistent and copied and moved towards the cloying mainstream. Eden Falls is one of the worst perfumes I have tested in recent years because it is simply copied and this certainly justifies the high price and something existing has been denigrated. I'm really a bit pissed at Micaleff here too, because publishing something like this is unacceptable. I hope you can understand my displeasure with this.
