Unobtrusive but still special
Marc Jacobs Men, a simple and very elegant flankon that is hardly noticeable on the shelf next to the other more unusual designs.
The fragrance, on the other hand, is all the more memorable and clearly stands out from its neighbors on the shelves of my trusted perfumery.
I liked this coconut note with the initially subliminal soapiness. A combination that I did not know until then and which immediately inspired me

Oh? How? There's no coconut in there? Surprise! After I read the list of ingredients here at Parfumo... it's supposed to be cowardly, who pretends to have a coconut. Anyway, still nice.

The soapiness then increases in the course of time and rounds off the fragrance perfectly. However, this does not mean a grandpa note as it often sticks to other fragrances... Who wants to smell like an old man when you are in your 20s or 30s?
Rather, the upper categorization as fresh green applies here, and that without any vetiver at all

As Strandpirat before me also wrote very aptly, it should be noted that Marc Jacobs Men "[...] is not suitable for every day[...]". You have to be in the mood for the fragrance. If this is the case, you can wear it well in every season.
So if you are looking for something different, this is the place to be.

My first signature scent
At the beginning very hot citric but not unpleasant, I hardly smell the pepper. But already after a short time the lemon becomes pleasantly fresh and stays that way with me. In the course of time a Chanel-typical elegance is added, which I would describe as warmth. I cannot smell the individual scents. But this is often an advantage to perceive the fragrance cloud only as a whole and not to think about it all

The durability is very good for me and is easily enough for an office day. If it is very strong in the beginning, it becomes more body-hugging towards the evening. At least in the morning in the tram not only I smell the scent, also two rows of seats further on some students whisper "boah, nices perfume here"... the following day I wore two splashes less.

All in all, Chanel has succeeded in creating a very beautiful, harmonious, unobtrusive fragrance for spring and summer, which manages to be fresh and warm at the same time without drifting too much into sweetness.

This is exactly what I like, which is why this was my favourite fragrance for many years.
