Christmas party with Don Corleone
Festivus is a kind of "Christmas party", or rather an anti-celebration, the idea for which originates from the sitcom Seinfeld. The idea behind it is the elimination of religious symbols and the Christmas tree (instead a simple pole is put up) as well as consumer criticism. Furthermore, at the common dinner one should express one's anger and disappointments to the family members present and probably generally moan and complain at this "feast of love".
Therefore, the name of the fragrance is almost a contradiction in terms, since gangsters (i.e. mobsters) in particular would certainly not be thrifty and anti-consumption-adjusted to celebrate a party. Thus, in addition to the most expensive Christmas tree, the most exquisite mahls would be served, not to mention the exchange of expensive gifts (which seemingly only come from the mutual giving of envelopes with many 100 or 1000 dollar bills!)
Well, I have to admit, I myself am totally into Christmas, it's just a great time, the atmosphere is great, it's fun, even if it's sometimes stressful, so here you can turn a blind eye to the commercialized festivities and just enjoy the time itself!
And even if warmer days follow, you could keep this scent in mind for the festive days.
The alcohol note gets stronger over time and always smells good. But also the other pastry and gingerbread-like scents can be smelled well for a long time.
Actually, the scent stays the same, only it gets weaker and weaker over time. Oh and I think you can only smell the eggnog or eggnog to a certain extent much later, when the other alcoholic scents fade a bit. A nice scent that reminds of a good time!
The shelf life is also quite okay again, so you can smell the fragrance for longer than eight or nine hours.
The bottle! The bottle is rectangular and, as always, you can see a label on the front that fills the entire front of the bottle. Here you can see a close-up of a golden Christmas bauble hanging from a Christmas tree. The term "festivus" doesn't really mean that you should see a tree... but maybe the term "festivus" is just meant to stand for Christmas in general.
Well, the flacons are okay, though not that pretty.
Well, as just mentioned in the bottle description, this fragrance doesn't seem to have much to do with the meaning of the actual festival, so the name seems to stand for Christmas in general. That would also explain why the fragrance smells of pretty much all Christmas stuff like cinnamon, gingerbread, alcohol (mulled wine, chocolate with rum fillings).
As a Christmas fan, I like the fragrance very much of course, but it could only be used in winter because the scents are heavier and could be oppressive in summer. Of course there is always the question of whether you want to smell like gingerbread and stuff like that, but it could possibly be quite nice, maybe even when going out... You should try it.
For Christmas fans or lovers of such fragrances, the fragrance would definitely be worth testing, but unfortunately, the fragrance was limited to only 100 copies. And 99 bottles of it probably fell into the hands of Don Corleone, who resells them at horrendous prices :DD

Ah Christmas,... I know, you all can't wait until summer is finally here, but somehow I can't wait for Christmas :D
Hm, some people think that I would like winter more only because I'm single at the moment, but I don't know... it could be... I can't say that at the moment :D
I guess I'll stay a winter fan until then and I also like autumn very much, you know... because of Halloween and stuff, because I'm still so childish and stuff like that and I can't wait to hang creepy glowing skeletons on walls and trees or munch muffins with ghost-glazing, hmmm... no no no no, I just like Halloween and Christmas, and with that also autumn and winter, ugh :D.
But I have to admit that swimming in the sea in summer is one of the best things there is, but unfortunately it's only possible on holiday, if you don't live at a lake or something like that *sigh*
And spring is admittedly also very colourful with all the blooming flowers and stuff, of which, as always, I have no idea what they are called :DD

The smell:
The fragrance begins with great, generally Christmassy scents. There's cinnamon and spices that come across as delicious and sweet. Most noticeable is that the fragrance has a strong gingerbread note. But you can also smell filled sweets, filled with liqueur-like ingredients, which should be the whiskey note here. The alcohol note gets stronger over time and always smells good. But also the other pastry and gingerbread-like scents can be smelled well for a long time.

The Sillage and the durability:
Almost Dua-typical, this scent also has a high silage and can therefore be smelled over longer distances, because you simply leave a large scent cloud. Only its intensity lasts a bit less, so that it gets noticeably weaker after a few hours, but of course still remains quite strong compared to many other scents. The shelf life is also quite okay again, so you can smell the fragrance for longer than eight or nine hours.
