If there's one thing Prada doesn't do, it's that they stick to their style. Exceptions in the Luna Rossa series left aside.

Infusion d'Iris Cédre begins very powdery flowery with a gentle fresh kick. Very typical of Prada somehow... but not bad either. On the contrary, they are among the best soapy fresh fragrances. I feel the division m/w similar to D600, here everyone has to decide for himself whether he is too male or too female. He's a tick too feminine for me.

There's not much more to say. The fragrance is very linear and wonderful to wear in spring and summer. Durability and silage are rather reserved and zero intrusive.

why throw a fragrance like that out of the assortment? After all the hot Water, Night Dive and other Waters I honestly gave up hope for Davidoff. I don't want to start with Game and Champion.

First of all a big thank you to FabianO, who sent me a sample. Good Life starts with strong citrus aromas that compete with the fig leaf for the place in the front row. Due to the fig leaf, it does not appear so dull pointed, but soft, green and fresh. It also has a classic aftershave note that gives it a masculine touch. Probably quite revolutionary for his time (1998). Because of the melon there is also a gentle sweetness in it, which has a slight similarity to the melon of First Instinct.

Very linear, very easy to carry and simply good. With the horrendous prices with which he is traded on the net, unfortunately no buyer candidate.

Vetiver is not necessarily my favourite when it comes to fragrances, which does not mean that I am completely averse to it.

Atelier Cologne is known for its rather fresh scents and Vetiver Fatal is also quite fresh. The division in the diagram fits pretty much like a fist in the eye. A fresh and slightly citric start already begins. It is also woody from the beginning. Slightly reminiscent of a summer day in the park. I take plum less than the fig, which has similar tendencies to Musc Imperial and is quite creamy and fruity.
Somehow an association with a Welness weekend creeps into my mind. The smells remind me strongly of sauna, care masks and other products you can find there. An outstanding vetiver scent that AC has brought to the market here.

Shelf life and silage are quite ok. Especially for people who don't like vetiver, you should definitely try this one

I would have to answer in the negative. Amouage is a very mixed brand from Oman with some pearls, but also with unbearable heavyweights in the assortment.

Anyway... Jubilee XXV is for me what is meant by an oriental fragrance. So "rich" and fully loaded without looking too clumsy. The start with the blackberry, which runs through the whole process, is sensational. The fragrance was built completely around this berry. Honey, incense, cinnamon and oud are added. I can't pull more out of it, although this mixture is already enough. In the end you are left with a slightly fruity and woody base that lasts forever.

Jubilation XXV is sweet, smoky and spicy, which makes the mixture somewhat oriental. I was talking about a Champions League in the commentary of Incense Oud. In exactly this one this one is playing in and even leads it.

The shelf life is good and the silage is not too strong. (At moderate dosage) When this Amouage is in the air, it's pure magic and the people around me have spoken to me about it several times. Last but not least I want to say that this one belongs to one of the portable Amouages. Everybody who knows Amouage knows that in terms of portability you can often reach into the toilet with this brand

Perhaps the most buried temptation since perfume was invented. I thought so when I first sprayed Bleecker Street. I've never smelled blueberries so authentic, except with actual berries. Unfortunately my favourite berry doesn't stay long and creeps out quite quickly.

The development of the fragrance then leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately it looks quite cheap in the further course and with that I do not mean cheap. Unfortunately it has something biting from cheap drugstore scents or a badly balanced aquatic scent. For my nose the very strong jasmine note is responsible for this, which mixes with the violet. I can't understand this hype on Youtube, because Bleecker Street seems to be too simple and interchangeable for that. I think it simply has something to do with the brand Bond no.9, which is known to come from the States. That's probably why Tom Ford is so well rated.

If you are looking for a nice spring and summer scent, you are not completely wrong here, but you can find better ones for less money. The shelf life and silage is actually quite ok for a rather fresh fruity perfume
