Butter to the fish...
So friends,
I am absolutely not a designer fan, respectively I like to wear niche and the designers I own, respectively own, never really knock/skin me off my stool... Do they all smell more or less the same, or are not worth the price in the P/L part, also concerning the performance, or are inferior to niche fragrances (I am talking about fragrances that are at 1-2 Euro per ml). But sometimes you just want something that is not so extraordinary. Sometimes you just want to smell good- period! Taste is always subjective and especially with scents this is a good thing! But people, Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, Di Gio Profumo, all the complete mainstream parts, some of them have 1.0-1.5 more rating than this one? Seriously? We don't have to talk about the price we charge, it's too expensive. But that's just his marketing, with all the discounts... If you don't like it, you won't buy this here, or only with discounts that are ALWAYS available. I really don't understand that, I'm not a fan of his videos now, nor of the aggressive marketing strategy he pursues on YouTube and such. But anyone who gives a rating below 7 for what they are supposed to be, namely an office fragrance that is supposed to be fresh, keep well and evoke good reactions, is possibly or very, very sure to have some envy and resentment in their rating. This platform is designed to guide new perfumes in a certain direction and to evaluate the fragrance. What's happening here is just slander. I'm going to give a tip to anyone who is interested in the fragrance, who likes the mainstream, ala Dior Sauvage, Di Gio Profumo, to test this one FOR EVERYTHING! My goodness how sometimes this envious society makes me angry, where it seems to be more fulfilling for other people not to allow other people their success instead of taking care of it themselves to achieve something...
All right, enough of the rage. I'll just say this much, if the packaging were to say Dior, Chanel, Armani, the thing would go off properly and be praised to the skies. Enough of subjectivity and socio-critical touch.

Now to the objective part of this commentary (because we want to give people an objective opinion so that they get an objective impression of this scent (and only of the scent), as it should be on the platform here, right? NOT TRUE?) :
The fragrance is mMn. a mixture of Aventus, Dior Sauvage and Dylan Blue and I really don't mean that in a negative way. I would describe it as tart, fresh and fruity. Sure, it's synthetic, but that must have been clear from the start! And now we come to the main point of this commentary. I like to wear Reflection Man in the office or low dose Pegasus, or FF by Tom Ford. It's all going "clean." For me it is simply the most beautiful to wear in the office. But if you, as dear readers, go for fresh scents: there is no better office scent than this one. Point OFF! The Sillage is absolutely perfect, you don't fool anyone into thinking your office is a Douglas store. But you smell very good all day long and this is also noticeable for others. Durability and Sillage absolute 10/10 and not because the stuff sticks to you for 20 hours and you smell from one side of the Elbe to the other. But because it is simply perfect for what it should be, an office fragrance. I've been told many times that I smell good since I've had this thing for the second week. This will also be the impression that most people who smell you and may not be niche snobs, let alone know what a niche perfume is at all. I paid 60 euros for this thing at a discount and it is more than worth it.
Like I said, it's synthetic. And it's not a "niche" either. But you also have to evaluate the fragrances in context, in other words, in what they are supposed to do. I'm not wearing Enigma EDP on my little cousin's birthday, who just turned 10 and is going to a soccer center with his friends at the height of summer. And then I think to myself after two hours: "Boar, full of shitty perfume", because I choke on it.

Guys, do you like fresh scents? Do you want to smell good to outsiders? Do you want a perfume that smells good all day long, that doesn't suffocate anyone, but still attracts attention? Is it okay for you to not smell "special"? Don't you care if that stuff smells synthetic? Good! Then 80% ignore what is on this page and get a sample or directly the scent. Because, if what I just enumerated applies to you, you'll like it!

Have a nice week!
Dave :)

Too good to be true!
Hello my dears, if you look at my collection you will see that I am already more in the portable mainstream, or rather in the portable niche mainstream. I looked at the sheet music of this one and thought that I could try it! No sooner said than done, so I ordered the bee and received it yesterday afternoon. A little foreword to the brand, I think all, really all the zoologists have come out, except Camel maybe, really absolutely disgusting, it may be because, as I said, I wear more mainstream. Yesterday, as a retest, I sprayed half of them on cards (I have also tested them on the skin before) and regretted having done this in my room... Really, it stunk...I don't want to step on anyone's toes, to each his own, but for me personally this brand is in very large parts, simply not wearable.

But now we want to come back to the bee. I open the package, with rather mixed feelings due to the experiences I just mentioned... and spray that thing boldly on my arm as ever. I close my eyes, "so if this smells like the rest, then I have to get in the shower really quickly", I hardly dare to smell myself, give myself a jolt and stick my nose right into the just sprayed area of my forearm. Because of the horror I have caused myself, to have taken a train so close to the contaminated area, I immediately startled away again, out of sheer fear of what I might smell... Out of sheer amazement that it doesn't smell as terrible as I thought, I take another hit! And then I take another hit and another and another... And my goodness, guys, he's awesome! Really, I say this now and I don't want to hurt the rest of my collection, I always thought this "just one fragrance" talk was utopia. But I now officially admit it! This fragrance, from a brand that in my opinion really produces partly horrible perfumes and where none of them could convince me at all, comes now this creation that really makes me go crazy... If I had to limit myself to one, it would be Bee! There, I said it! But this thing is absolutely great! It just smells of joy, of pure joy... The scent starts a bit like Kobe von Xerjoff and reminds me a bit of an esoteric shop. What comes after is absolute mysticism! I filled it up last night for my sharing (dear participants, you can definitely be happy) and my whole room still smells of it! This slightly esoteric honey-sweetness, paired with floral aspects is simply magical. I wouldn't say that the whole thing seems feminine, I think it's a good balance. It's not overly sweet, not overly flowery, it's just perfectly matched! Simply a terrific fragrance and for me from now on the absolute number 1. Never before has a perfume triggered something like this in me. Never have I ever enjoyed a fragrance so much! Never before has a perfume deserved the name "perfume" so much! Just gorgeous. Just as dreamlike as the performance. As Extrait de Parfum it lasts forever, but does not radiate disturbing. You are wrapped in a mystical cloud all the way through and if you are not approached by a bunch of bees while wearing this masterpiece, I don't know...

Oh by the way, the bottle and the OVP is matching the fragrance, the absolute hammer!

Way better than the EDP!!!!!
Hello dear friends,
Short explanation of my misery... I bought the fragrance with a juicy discount from Flaconi, wore it a few times and then had to give it away, because my sharing didn't get full and as a student I simply can't afford the whole thing... Now I'm facing an existential crisis, because I don't know why nobody wants to test this scent or why so few people here own it...
I honestly have a hunch:
The EDP, which I also had once, I find absolutely terrible and unbearable as a man, in addition it lasts the whole day (and the next 3 days still) and is thereby as loud as hardly another... well, that's not an advantage, in my opinion, with the sweet flower stuff. To all men who wear it and love it, to each his own, I certainly wear things that others feel disgusted about, but I can really imagine little that I would like to wear less than 3 sprayers Oud Satin Mood EDP. But now we come to the crucial point... the Extrait is absolutely the hammer... the floweriness is completely dimmed and stay does a hammer Sillage with a sweet-fruity touch that accompanies you all day long. I can understand that you are deterred after the EDP because you think the Extrait is an even more concentrated form of the EDP, but that's the case with nieces!
A sprayer of the stuff in the neck and one smells the whole day simply after pure joy... i can't describe it any other way. I actually got a lot of compliments, which is rather untypical for the kind of scents!

Now I had to sell my fragrance and try desperately to get a new sharing because he just won't let me go... - with moderate success. In this sense I would like to kindly point out that one can look gladly times into my Soul, perhaps one finds there after reading the commentary something, which interests one... marriage... starts with O and ends with T, just a little hint.
No joking aside, this one is darker, more un-flowery, more unstriking, just as durable and radiant as his brother and smells wonderful in my opinion.
In this sense, with the receiving information you have to see for yourself what you make of it ;)

If he's too cute, you're too weak!
So my dear friends,

I've already smelled almost everything that you can smell about designers+mainstream, what's so reasonably in the public eye! Of course this also includes the entire Tom Ford Privat Line. Which, by the way, is definitely worth a sniff, in the truest sense of the word! Kurz und Knapp Lost Cherry is awesome, I smelled in London Heathrow the first time and I found absolutely great! Then I looked at the price and thought to myself "maybe it doesn't have to be then". Now, after careful consideration (at least 15 hours), I have come to the conclusion that it must be! But not for 4€/ml! But there was something else, there is also Dua... To be honest, I can't do anything with cloning, at least until this day! With Alexandria I could not start anything at all and all the Aventus clones hang out my neck! But to get back to the aforementioned scent, at some point I thought to myself, dare you, and I ordered this and another scent, which, by the way, also picked me up completely, but when else more! Well, after 2 weeks of waiting, the bottle finally reached me and I tested it! The results of this test can now be read in the following section!

Fragrance:
Tom Ford- Lost Cherry, starts with.... Um, wait a minute, I mean dua- popped cherry, of course. no, let's face it, everybody who had the Lost Cherry under his nose, you don't have to read any more, you know how it smells!
For everyone else; Starts with freshly heated cherry liqueur, then turns into wonderful wooden tones, whereby the theme of the cherry can be smelled throughout! The fragrance is not very multi-faceted, but it does not have to be! Anyone who knows the name will know what to expect! And that's what's offered him. Maybe I stand alone with it, but do you know these Nimm-2 sweet stuff parts, maybe I confuse the name... But this rubber sweet tooth, where one bit into it, it made a small bang, and from the rubber came out such a small texture, in different flavors, including cherry,?! Popped Cherry smells like what it tastes like. Whereby the name is chosen really clever ;)
In the drydown, the whole thing becomes more and more woody and dark chocolatier (yes, this name exists and it is a difference to "chocolatier", at least in my imagination).

Durability&Sillage:
So I don't have to say much to Joa there, reminds me to screw up shelves with my dad and how he always used to say so beautifully in the end... "dat hält, dat Ding"... greetings from Northern Germany! So nobody has to complain about too little stamina here, where we would be at Popped Cherry again, if you know what I mean.... the people at Dua obviously have a penchant for word games. I recommend here depending upon Event, surrounding field, 3- maximally 5 sprayers, since it despite mad performance and Sillage, actually, despite substantial sweetness, does not annoy!

Portability: Him, you, it, no matter! Total unisex, I would find super at my girlfriend, I find super at me, I would also find super at my cat... (that is of course only so said! By the way, take care, at this point, I feel forced to mention that you should not spray near your pet, it is not very healthy for the animal. I'll be damned! Educational mission and so on!)

Flacon and packaging: the price is completely ok! Is nothing earth-shattering, but actually quite stylish! The bottle actually looks pretty nice, I think!

Price performance: So you compare it with the original, absolutely super! Smells the same, has felt the double performance and smells of quality, even if it is of course relatively synthetic, which should be self-evident when it comes to the fragrance...
With a ml price of good 1,6€ with a corresponding voucher and 3 sprayers enough to smell great all day long, absolutely great!


Conclusion:
Do you like the scent of cherry/gourmand and do you want something that accompanies you the whole day?
Don't you want to spend too much money on that?
Are you into carnivals and don't have a problem smelling like that?

Then you should order Popped Cherry from Dua very fast! Now Now! Thank me later!

If the CEO of Dua reads along, greetings go out, the participation of 20% per Popped Cherry ordered you can gladly transfer to my account in the Maldives! See you then at a beautiful cherry liqueur in the Caribbean!

Thank you for reading and for co-financing my next summer vacation!

Your Dave :)

Oajan, a Christmas dream!
A Christmas dream!

Oajan, so typical Marly,
bangs of second one, fully in.
Cinnamon, dark, heavy and sweet, how could it be otherwise?
It's nothing new for Marlys now, is he worth a test?
Strong, stormy, typical horse!
Starts with dark wood and cinnamon,
A prelude where everything is right.
Dark, weighed down it seems,
Let's see what else he can do.
In the heart now, it will be sweet and heavy,
I can tell you it's very Christmassy!
Cinnamon and spices of all kinds,
The Christmas market immediately recognized!
The Christmassy sweet bustle,
If you want to assimilate.
Gourmand replaces the dark,
and keeps the wearer well on his toes.
Apple strudel is now perceived,
The transformation, now complete.
A quick-change artist to see clearly,
Sweetie comes, the woods go.
How does that proud horse sound now?
Will the feast of love still be a horror?
No need to worry, the heavenly scent,
is still hanging in the air, Christmassy and pleasant.
The sweetness remains, cinnamon, honey, vanilla,
After 10 hours, slowly emerging silence,
You've been there a long time, you've accompanied me,
tempts me to buy.
So you have to say,
The test was pretty rewarding,
even if intended, not gentle on the wallet.
In the usual black bottle, splendid robe,
you've been standing in the closet for a long time now.

And you know Oajan, with all your glory,
You got me hooked.
