The saloon or real mixture of alcohol plus leather
8.5, Matthew Camp has already rated the fragrance, there is nothing more to see! ;)
In fact, I think the fragrance is remarkable. He is only directly in the US to get for 3 dollars per Ml and what else is offered there....naja, let's say "interesting" clothes. Anyway, 8.5 is highly concentrated and this statement can be left as it is. A spray is extremely long-lasting, but let's get to the simple but effective perfume and dare a description.

8.5 starts directly with bourbon whiskey aroma. Like that of the well-known brands, Jack Daniels is for example a bourbon whiskey, it smells like charred wood. This circumstance is due to the fact that this American whiskey variant is stored classically in charred oak barrels. This is how the whiskey gets its note. Almost all whiskeys or distilleries are located in Kentucky and Tennessee, by the way, as far as the bourbon is concerned. This exuberant - for me at least - olfactory pleasure is now followed by the development.

It does not remain with the whiskey. The fragrance becomes visibly more pleasing, is nevertheless very intensely woody, alcoholic and meanwhile also leathery. He actually reminds of Midnight Stag only without being so oily and linear. Where Midnight Stag is the workshop, here we're more in the saloon. Here one must probably insert: if who knows the Midnight Stag.

The cedar here is already old and creaky, so the double doors of the saloon groan with every operation so that no one enters or leaves unseen. Here you sit now, the dust of the prairie clinging to clothes and hair, the glass of whiskey in front of you and with your thoughts in the distance.
Through the one or other brawl or for the Swiss readers brawl and accompanying overturned whiskeys that dripped on the worn leather boots, this very smell lingers in the dusty and warm air. It smells like leather. Kind of oily from work, kind of worn out because you didn't afford new footwear that often, and somewhere still rich with stories. Brittle in some places, discolored in some places yet still intense.

I do not know if 8.5 would have been something for the respective ringleaders of the antagonists in the Bud Spencer/Terrence Hill westerns, because 8.5 has a touch of elegance through the cedar, which rounds off the perfume and makes it for me a purchase candidate, it easily lifts above the "saloon rabble". It bears mentioning because we all know dry gnarly trees a La Forest of Euphorium Brooklyn. There's that in the cedar too but just not all of it. This janusgesichtige wood works thereby also somehow oily-moist which gives the fragrance a completely different aura and at the same time ennobles the whiskey.

So all this on a leather base, very simple but also class elaborated. The self-evaluation of Matthew Camp I do not want to stand in the way, so I'm d'accord.
