El Discréto
Actually, I didn't think you could say too much about Springfield. A rich, full, dark, almost heavy, shiny, beautifully balanced citrus scent, whatever is there in detail: bitter orange, bergamot, chinotto, everything together possibly, and the whole embedded in a wonderful green, wherever it comes from, perhaps that galbanum is involved. Despite the seemingly simple recipe, a striking and easily recognisable, very masculine fragrance, well wearable not only in summer for every occasion, solid as oak wood or a Mercedes-Benz, even if perhaps not very modern or excessively sexy. I gave the fragrance 8.5 points and liked to wear it every now and then. That was the state of my statement here.
Now, however, events have cascaded which let this friend and engraver appear in a new light, dubious not exactly (if so, then in an admiring sense), but ambiguous, mischievous, cosmopolitan, almost filou-like.
It began with the beautiful commentary by Parma, who successfully undertook detective work to break down the individual scents. And behold, there is much more than expected: Actually, it's hard to believe, we don't only have dark orange bitterns on a dark green meadow, there are really spices and different flowers (and if you know it, then you believe you can smell it)!
The next day, inspired by this, once again worn, there was something miraculous to observe. A very attractive colleague praises the fragrance, enthusiastically, enthusiastically, not once, several times. And he's got a shine in his eyes. You of all people, comrade Springfeld, a ladykiller? I'm perplexed.
The surprises continue: "Wow," she says, "that's really good! And it reminds me a little of CK One." Since I have now understood that Springfield is good for surprises, I don't say "that can't be", yes I don't even think it, but look. And indeed, CK One is (among others) perfumed here with the scents nutmeg, jasmine, lily of the valley and rose, practically (except for the substitution of rose by rose geranium) exactly the same as Parma sensed at Springfield. This mud man has it really faustdick behind the ears (the colleague, no experienced smell nose, apparently also that she recognized this relationship!).
I would like to add in brackets that I am convinced that CK One is seriously undervalued here with 6.6 points. It may be that in the course of time some people have saturated themselves with this once ubiquitous scent and this former icon is now pouring out a rough one. I don't see it that way and instead share the opinion of many valued fellow perfumers, such as treasure hunters, who give this modern classic top marks: It was and remains simply good! Therefore, the newly discovered Springfield relationship is no reason to value Lehmann any less. On the contrary. By the way, it remains an absolutely independent fragrance, it is much more organic in juice and power than the slightly ethereal, fresh, bright Thierry water of that time
Still amazed by the Lehmanns effect on my charming colleague, I read the statements and comments here on Parfumo again and discovered that Master Yatagan, who is unaware of any scent in this galaxy, actually gave this candidate the highest score of 10. When I asked him about it, he wrote me that Springfield in his perception had a barely perceptible, wafer-thin animal base, which made the scent so fascinating.
The good old, solid green citric a subtle animal seducer with violet-muscat appeal and a world star in kinship! Father Brown turns out to be a Baltasar Gracián! Very impressed, I'm raising my rating.
