Sometimes the first impression counts...
Already at the beginning of the perfume season I was able to get a sample of SMW. I only knew Al Rehab Silver until then. At first I was shocked that a 4-5€ perfume could keep up with the smell and depends on the creed when it comes to projection. Already embarrassing for a fragrance in the price range.
The start is citric and blossoming nectar-like sweet. The currants I take much later was so right. The base is musky with a fruity background. If you think in terms of gender patterns, I would say that this Creed suits a lady more than a man.
After the second test, my first impression is confirmed and I would still rather place him in midfield. But there's one thing you gotta hand him. Except for the Silver, I don't know anything that smells like SMW. So very unique the composition.

Reinventing the wheel
It has been several years since Chanel launched his top seller on the market. I was one of the ones who liked him from the beginning. Before the first bottle I allowed myself first only 12 samples a 2ml of this. Unfortunately he never really liked my girlfriend.
The start is citric, bitter and fresh as the rest of the course. I think it's super linear and good from start to finish. Except for the incense note, which in my opinion could have been used more gently to make it rounder and smoother. Basically I think it's ingenious how Chanel reinvents the wheel here. In my opinion, such aromatic citrus scents are not against it yet. Often copied, modified and rebuilt for good reason. That's just the DNA of today.
By the way, I don't know why people keep saying he's a suit scent. I think it's pretty universal. Maybe not necessarily on the beach in Cuba, but in his chic casual clothes he also goes for it. H+S are absolutely sufficient and pretty good for a fresh fragrance.
BdC will be part of the Acqua di Gio and Le Male series in the sense of eternal recurrence. But for good reason.

Fresh and easy going
I'm really not a fan of aquatics and find most fragrances of this kind rather bad than right. This Bvlgari is all right, though.
Freshly algig it goes from the outset right to the point. I can also perceive floral tones very well. The citrus chords, however, I can see zero, which is not very bad here either.
In the course of time it loses a little of its floral notes and becomes very alginous. What I find so interesting about this Bvlgari is the light muff that oceans somehow have. Not unpleasant at all, but still somehow present.
Certainly not a bad choice at the highest temperatures. During the day actually wearable for any occasion and never really inappropriate. I find the bottles of the series very original and actually quite nice.
Unfortunately aquatics are simply not mine, which is why I cannot give it a higher rating

The worst among the Aventussis
Well the one with the chick at the end I only wrote because I don't know any plural for aventus :D
No matter but the rest of the headline fits then already quite well. It really is the worst offshoot, clone, copy what ever of the Creed bestseller. Fruity it comes along, the resemblance to the big model recognizable from second one. For me it is far too fruity, too penetrating and without clear structures. Those who expect something woody due to the use will be bitterly disappointed here.
Before I wear Cedrat Boise, I think I'd rather leave the house without perfume, although for me it's a no go.
If any fans of the fragrance read the comment, they can now write me below how broken my nose is and that I have no plan. However, this will not change my opinion.

You can also gamble with perfume...
because this bond is completely overpriced. Yes, I often pick on the prices of niche fragrances, but only when they don't do justice to the fragrance. Wall Street is not a bad fragrance and does not deserve this average score, but it is not better than Eternity Aqua or Ralph Lauren Blue and this cost only a quarter (even only a fifth) of the bond.
Very cucumber-heavy start with a certain freshness kick, similar to a shower gel or deodorant. This remains so, because the fragrance is quite linear without highs and lows. There's really nothing more to say. That doesn't hurt anybody, is very pleasant to smell, is easy to wear and that wars.
Anyone who wants to fork out the necessary Eurons for this should do so, but I will stay away from a purchase.
