Really great non fragrance and why he was allowed to go
I let myself be convinced by the most positive reviews and euphoric comments across the Interweb of this Nichen perfume, and ordered a bottle directly from the manufacturer.
Well, 95 € for 60 ml is now not exactly little, but for a high-quality non-fragrance, whose ingredients the manufacturer has handpicked most personally around the world over the years, ;P that's actually not much. I mean, for other brands like Roja you pay equal times 4-digit, without it then automatically smells particularly useful. ;P
You know that, - there are just non-fragrances with which is the pointer on the "usefulness scale" rather direction "work of art", and others there is the pointer rather direction "useful everyday object".
And with the name "Signature", the maker marries the fragrance yes virtually with everyday life, so if where this synonym stands, I expect of course that the fragrance is super everyday.
And I have to be honest, this is Signature. This is a Fougere-like, classic but timeless fragrance that shines with very natural scent notes, and is actually really, really wearable in everyday life.
It shows its specialness, its non-soul through the perfect balance of accords, which I would title as fougere, somewhat fresh-fruity, slightly greenish and maybe "borderline barbershop". Woody it is too, but more as a bottom of the presentation, and less as a note to put your finger on.
But it has to be said, it smells as multi-layered as the many individual notes suggest, and I feel almost any categorization is inappropriate.
What clearly stands out, because it's the only thing that stands out for me, is the comfortably embedded green, fresh pear that shines especially in the opening and middle part of the scent. In the Drydown after some time, takes over for my feeling then a typical, but not stinky Oud note, which is also very nice.
Again and again when sniffing one catches in addition smoky impressions the probably myrrh + frankincense spring, certainly but also bit the oud and cardamom. The sandalwood is a sweet, soft, almost fluffy base, which gives the whole room to work, and embeds the whole composition a bit. I admit I've only smelled it since I read it. But since then, it reminds me of the fluffy sandalwood in Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, just much more tame and unassuming.
All in all, a great fragrance, and now that I smell of my last test paper strip while writing, since I have already sold the bottle, you're probably wondering why I did this, - sound but my descriptions rather praising and positive.
And here we come quite clearly to my personal taste, and the very subjective part of my review:
For me, Signature is a little too pleasing, a little too flat. Maybe uneventful is a better description.... hmm.
Personally, I just like to wear fragrances that always tickle me a bit in the soul, that radiate a little more than a "smoothly ironed shirt". The something polarize, challenge, and glow. And for that, I guess "Signature" lacks something like ambroxan, iso-e-super, tonka bean, or something else funky. :D
(I'm just really a mainstream victim, you can tell now... ^^)
I know, if there was a Parfumo pyre, just quite a lot of readers wished me on this Drauf. ':D
But as I said, this is something very personal and my taste.
It would also be enough for me if the note constellation had a bit more gourmandiges, or woody inne, so that the fragrance comes across a bit more broad-shouldered and offensive. (See Amouage Dia Man, even if a completely different fragrance)
But so, I would casual, as a seasonal signature fragrance for work and play, probably almost always prefer Alltime Stars like Sculpture, Le Male, Fierce, or YSL L'Homme Le Parfum / Y Le Parfum. Or if we say it should also be a pear-focused fragrance, Coach for Men, or Ultra Male.
Yep, now you may finally light the virtual funeral pyre. :D
So to me he just does not crack enough, the good Signature. But he already has what to offer, is beautifully made, pleasant, somehow unique (have this constellation so not yet smelled), a real little work of art for eternity.
And packaging as well as product presentation are extremely loving, the bottle clicks beautifully, the cap can only snap at the right angle. And there is a thank you letter from the manufacturer, as well as a sketch of the flacon blueprint enclosed.
The box is valuable, but appropriate, and without waste of resources.
All in all, a great product that is worth its queried money all the time, just unfortunately for me not quite suitable.
I thus pass the luminous torch to the new owner, may you appreciate and enjoy its benefits! :))
The taster now leaves the stage.
