Idleness in the city jungle
CHAP is a British humorous lifestyle magazine for men that is published quarterly. Occasionally I buy a copy and like to leaf through it. My inclination to British clothing style and the corresponding "Habit" is not to be overlooked. We're not talking about Brexit, after all, the basic rule is: No politics in the club!
Now the editor of CHAP has launched his own perfume for the 20th anniversary and the 100th edition: the "Flâneur". And indeed, in these days to go idle, to let the world be the world, the politics the politics and to adopt the mode of aimless strolling, can certainly need a little olfactory support. So I grab the bottle, coat, stick and hat and let myself drift through the big city jungle...
The barbershoppige prelude of the first spray disappears fast and is probably owed only to the evaporating alcohol. Immediately the heart of the "Flâneur" captures me, and that is flowery! Now I take before flower notes in smells mostly fast tears out. But this variety of flowers (compliment!) is not overwhelmingly sweet, but has a pleasantly masculine "sharpness". I do not explicitly smell the top notes, but perhaps bergamot, verbena and pink pepper contribute to not making the bouquet appear too effusively feminine-soft. In the base, an amber-vanilla note is slowly added, which softly ends the idleness...
In fact, the "Flâneur" is a successful balancing act between an extroverted dandy and a reserved gentleman. The fragrance is declared as EdC. However, this seems to be British understatement, as the endurance of six to seven hours allows unquestionably also excessive walks in friendly warm freshness. So let's go idle...!
