Five comma four?
Harry Lehmann has a dozen or so Cologne waters for between three and five euros per 100 millilitres, plus the refillable bottle. I should have tried them all by now, and I liked four of them so much that I bought them. I find New York the noblest and most durable; I use it from the spray bottle like a light EdT, it is one of the most beautiful fragrances I know and definitely one of the three or four with the best PLV. I use the other three as colognes for splashing, the earthy, herbaceous lavender water (which forms the opposite pole to the ethereal, crystalline cool Caldey lavender), the iconic soft-hesperidic wash Eau-de-Cologne (which is the Pulle for three euros), and this one here
And people, this is a decent, good, and even quite original cologne! Never in my life has it never never never ever earned the Five Comma Four with which it appears here - mon Dieu, that is by far the worst rated brew in my collection! This could easily get under the flop ten of perfume fragrances! But believe the old FvSpee, here happens a wicked injustice!
I find the so far only comment here, that of JPG153, beautifully written and in spite of the rather meagre scoring also quite pleased in tone, but unfortunately I can't comprehend any of it; the olfactory bulbs are so different. Neither the alleged long durability (after 1 hour the fireworks are over and after 3 hours there is no rest left), nor the differentiated scent including violets. I don't recognize single notes - except citrus - at all; for me this is a cologne with a citric core, most likely lemony-mandarin, with striking bitter-bitter, pure-core soap and mineral-stoney impacts. Not very strong in development, a bit one-dimensional, but sympathetic, nicely refreshing, and not everyday at all (I directly can't think of any other fragrance I could reasonably compare with that).
I could give you 9 points now to spice up the bad cut. But I don't; I don't even give 8, although that would be justified. There are from me as honest skin honest seven decimal five for a hammerhart honest Harry scent. Every tenth less is a lie. I swear!
