Hello everyone, I'm back

After my first comment was received so positively, I will try another one today. Again: I am still quite new in this hobby and my nose is certainly not yet as trained as some people here. Accordingly, please forgive me, if I do not get a detailed description of everything

This time I try a fragrance from the house of Roja and here I would like to thank Chris27, who sent me the bottling :)

First of all: I understand 100% the association with Eau Sauvage, because my father wears it at times and it smells exactly the same as I do today.

Now Eau Sauvage is from the 60's and so the scent of Scandal PC takes me straight back to an old barbershop of the 60's. I'm sitting there on the barber chair, freshly shaved and the barber is rubbing my face with an aftershave. But enough of the figurative description, let's get to how the scent smells to me:

The start is very massive for me, herbaceous. I suppose it's from the petitgrain. In addition, lavender tickles my nose, which remains with me in the fragrance. I can't smell the other ingredients of the top note, lavender blocks everything else, which I find a bit of a pity, where I'm usually a great friend of basil and bergamot.

The herbaceous start settles quite quickly and what is left is lavender, which is now quite easily accompanied by jasmine and perhaps a touch of violet.

From the quite opulent base note I can still smell cardamom and maybe cloves, the other notes are unfortunately not perceptible to me. But the lavender is still easily perceptible and has not completely disappeared

Let's now come to my biggest criticism of this fragrance: Namely the durability and above all the sillage. After I put the fragrance on this morning, I asked my girlfriend what she thought of the perfume I was trying out today. Her reaction was a rather confused face and the question "You're wearing a perfume? Don't I smell it today?" Now I'm more of a sneaker when it comes to using perfume, but in many other tests you could at least detect the scent. Here I had to hold my girlfriend's arm right under her nose to make her smell anything at all.

But her Reacktion was not much better when she said "You smell like old man. And even if I find the smell itself ok, I think she hit the mark. Over the entire Veraluf of the fragrance comes to me the thought "I already know, is nothing new"

The durability is also nothing special, after now a good 6 hours of wearing on a quite cool day, the scent can only be guessed if I put my arm in front of my nose.

Anyone who wants to can wear the scent, but I see it more likely in an old man in a suit for a meal or a visit to a play. For me it is too classic, too boring, so it will only be a test.

Conclusion:
No special or novel fragrance, but very classic. When applying the fragrance, one feels directly transported back into the past, but the impression lasts only for a short time until the fragrance has already evaporated. For the price you can, I think, definitely expect more.

So only one thing remains, as I have already written in the headline: An expensive breath of the past.

Hello everyone,

this is my first comment here, after I have already looked in several times without registration. I've already tried some perfumes, but I'm still very new to this hobby, so forgive me if I don't get a good description or smell of everything

To understand the title of my commentary, I think I have to digress a little. Let's start with my grandfather: From the outside, he always seemed a bit gruff and reserved, but once you got to know him, you couldn't help it and you had to like him. He was a very warm and funny person who explained and taught me a lot about life. The only thing I never liked was his perfume, which fortunately he rarely wore.

And here we have already arrived at Honour Man. I don't know exactly what my grandpa used, but Honour Man smells pretty much the same as my grandpa's perfume, which I never liked before.

The first time I sprayed the test on the back of my hand I thought: "Oh, a very peppery start" and I must say that I also found the start quite good. What followed, however, could only be summed up under pure horror.

All I could perceive after the very peppery start, which I even liked, was an all-consuming scent of rose geranium. Other scents were no longer there for me. It smelled exactly the same at my grandpa's place when he had put on his perfume, so that I could almost see him in front of me during my test.

However, I did not give up immediately and tried to wear the fragrance a little longer, perhaps to be surprised by the development after all. Unfortunately, the scent in my nose hardly changed over the next few hours, so at some point I could no longer resist the urge to finally wash it off. This may be due to my still quite untrained nose, I am unfortunately not able to say this.

The scents from the base I could not smell at that time unfortunately all or only very, very easily, everything was covered by this for me extremely strong smell of rose geranium

The durability of the fragrance is unfortunately also above average for me, because even after washing several times, I could still perceive the fragrance for quite a while.

I can't say much about the bottle, as I only have a small bottling of the fragrance. However, I've had another bottle of Amouage in my hand before and it was very valuable, so I assume that this will also be the case with Honour Man.

Conclusion:
For me definitely not a fragrance for younger people and definitely not a fragrance for me. In general, I have an aversion to geraniums and especially the scent of rose geraniums, so that this scent will probably never move in with me.

So why did I dedicate my first comment to Honour Man when I don't like him at all? He aroused in me the direct association with my grandfather, which was actually quite nice, and so I immediately had an idea how I could describe the fragrance a little more detailed. I hope I won't be torn apart right now, but I was able to give you a little preview of how I perceived the fragrance.
