Perhaps..
Sneaking around the scent for a long time. Again and again I rejected the purchase and gave in to the doubts;
maybe too old-fashioned,
maybe too musty,
maybe Grandpa,
maybe it doesn't fit
possibly the price called is money thrown out to window >
maybe woman and colleagues will find in Bäh,
perhaps...
Well, then it happened. In the course of a daring and spontaneous rehearsal order he was also ordered.
Day 1:
Friday morning in Germany.
A day in the office without fragrance? Sew!
Which one should it be? One from the treasure box? Or take the risk to test one of the samples?
Not without risk. Because like it or not. The scent, if it lasts, will sit with me in the office for eight hours.
Without further ado, the concerns have been overturned. What the hell, it's 2 days weekend in between and in case of disaster the waves will hopefully smooth in the circle of colleagues ;-)
In short, Cravache has been enlisted and what can I say?
Even before the second cup of coffee, 3 ladies in the office asked me positively about the scent and asked me what kind of water it was.
Maybe a good idea to choose this sample first.
Good, the fragrance starts and remains very herbaceous. But above all fresh, rather in the sense of clear, energetic, vitalising. But always discreet enough not to deter, but to lure in, to invite.
There is also no question of a lack of durability.
In the morning at 5.30 o'clock sprayed, it was with me to approx. 16.00 o'clock still perceptible.
Maybe he'll go on the have-will list,
Maybe it'll be 100ml,
Maybe he'll come soon,
Perhaps...
I'm sure it will!

Ghost from the bottle
Well, what's the best way to start? Fixed by various comments and video reviews I dared: Eyes closed, mouse click and ordered the Shuhrah online at N.... Delivered directly on the next day, unpacked, tightened and extremely careful when pressing the spray button a maximum of 1/4. Don't blow too much!...
Well, then the perplexity began to spread. What were not all the superlatives in the room, Powerhouse, Beastmode, Partybuster. Yes. Unfortunately not for me.
After the first cautious spraying, a sweetish fischer fragrance with subtle smoky tones penetrated my olfactory organ, but everything as if through a soft focus, transparent and diluted. After 2 hours the scent was only very discreetly perceptible at the sprayed place.
To make a visual comparison:
Imagine a scene from Aladin and the wonder lamp, the setting naturally adapted to the oriental origin of the test specimen. The hero has scratched the golden tin to summon the djini from the bottle. A picture in beautiful colours is expected. Like the cinematic implementation of the Aladin theme by the company with the rodent in the logo ;-)
If you imagine this scene instead of Technicolor in pastel colors, you know what is meant here.
In short, even a Shot Invictus sprayed in the shop in passing was (unfortunately) much more stubborn.
I can't tell if it's a reformulation, my skin chemistry or my nose. At the end I stand here, in the wonder cave, the magic lamp in my hand. But no matter how much I rub, the spirit is out of the bottle and it won't return

The village by the sea
I happened to stumble across this scent the other day while I was browsing. To date, neither the fragrance nor the Battistoni brand have been known to me. The price was hot and 3,2,1 mine.
Already after 2 days the postman rang twice and there he was. The outer packaging wasn't bad at all. Dark blue light structured cardboard with white writing. Simple and elegant. This is followed by the bottle in it. Right streamlined upwards tapered. In the middle the glass relief of the Roman god of war Mars. Nice. Less chic is the cheap plastic cap. But with the price....
So get on with it. Two sprays and let the impressions take effect. Hmmm. First, Marte starts off citrically fresh. But it is from the impression no bright lemon that brightens the day. If one compares the freshness with the rays of the sun, it seems as if there were isolated shadows over it. As if you were sitting under the branches of a tree that swayed in the wind and the rays of the sun and the shadows of the leaves alternated back and forth. I wonder if it comes from basil After a while the fragrance goes into a heart/basic phase which I cannot separate from and which has confused me for a long time. At some point an image was visualized that at least approximately corresponds to the following:
A small village. Somewhere in Italy. It's right by the sea. Tourists rarely get lost here. The boys moved to town. For work. Nowadays it's mostly the old people who live here. They're too rooted in the place. There's no rush here either. Everything has its own rhythm. The houses are whitewashed with lime and shine like rows of white teeth of a giant in the barren wild landscape. The smells that the sea carries with it mix with the smell of the limestone, the wild jasmine that grows everywhere here and the gnarled cedars that occasionally rise like fingers out of the landscape.
The bottom line is, a fragrance that takes you on a journey. If you take the time to discover it. No mainstream, I'm sure. But definitely special and worth a trip
