The simple things in life - or: Simply creamy
After my review of Musk Therapy, I received a few messages from people who felt the same way as I did: They all asked themselves, what is actually creamy in a fragrance? Because - as apparently not only I find - this is a difficult question, I now write here to Montblanc's Signature also a review.
The problem: different ideas of what creamy is exist. Often, creamy is equated with powdery. For me, however, powdery is something dry, something - as the word suggests - reminiscent of powder. But others perceive creamy notes as something that reminds them of the scent of cream. I, however, associate creamy with something thick. So as in yogurt, cream, or melted chocolate, for example.
So this being said, my info here is to give guidance to all cream scent seekers when I say Signature is a delightfully creamy scent for me. So I do not perceive it as dry, nor does it remind me of a cream. To my eyes (or rather nose), I find it to be soft and creamy. So exactly what I was looking for.
I do think it's similar to Musk Therapy, however Signature delivers what I was expecting from Musk Therapy: a creamy scent that doesn't pack a punch. Admittedly, the top note of Musk Therapy makes something, is hard to beat in creaminess. But that's no use to me, if this creaminess makes itself after a few minutes of the Acker.
Signature opens creamy-citrusy and hardly changes at all, it just gets quieter. It's never really loud, but the longevity is perfectly fine (definitely 6 hours on me). Signature is not a sophisticated fragrance that goes through a complex evolution. It's just reliably fruity and creamy, and doesn't push itself to the forefront. Other creamy scents have been too sweet and overpowering for me. It is a fragrance to enjoy and feel good in. He gives me the whole day in a good mood.
Once again confirms for me that you do not have to spend vast sums on expensive niche to get a really great fragrance.
P.S. With the greatest thanks to Serres74, without which I would never have come to this previously unknown to me fragrance
