Ächz, this page is killing me...The longer you look around, the more scents you want. I used to be an advocate of the One Fragrance for All faction. A universal fragrance, really just one that you can apply to your work as well as in the evening. Meanwhile there are 6 flacons around at home and it is fun to add something new every time. It's come to this. My newest achievement: Terre d´Hermes, which I bought at the local perfumery for a horrendous price (75€ for 50ml). I've wanted to for a long time, but that's when Green Irish Tweed got in my way.
Now to the fragrance: TDH simply smells unique, I don't know any fragrance that resembles it. I always think of scorching summer heat banging on the roofs, that's how it smells. Whereby the scent is not obtrusive or kills you, not at all. Hot. Peppery. Spicy, there is also a lot of wood (cedar?), but without appearing dusty or antiquated. A wonderful fragrance for everything (there it is again), which can be applied to all occasions. More like a summer scent, but actually it always goes (like right now)

I was in a buying frenzy last week, after taking a long, long time to decide on Green Irish Tweed some time ago, two new fragrances were bought cheaply without much spring reading. Sander for men and Hugo Extreme. As a child of the 80s, the Ur-Hugo was also one of my first perfumes back then, it had a cool image and a unique fragrance. And to be honest, I don't notice a big difference compared to back then, maybe the Sillage is a bit more opulent and also the durability is with approx. 10-12h above average long. It remains a fresh, very distinctive fragrance even in extreme mode, but the difference to the "normal" Hugo is not exorbitant. Herbaceous green, some sweetness, but only minimal and, yes, also some synthetics, I'm still a bit ambivalent as far as the long-term evaluation is concerned, if that doesn't bother me. So far I like it very much, also this always and everywhere fragrance, nowadays not as widespread as in the 90s. I like! Also the bottle, modern classic!

Since I have had this fragrance for a long, long time, there must now be a comment. Especially since I just bought 125ml today for 16€, that's value for money! Sander for men has been with me for 20 years now, I keep coming back to him and I am glad that he still exists. SFM is an absolute all-rounder, it works just as well at work as in the evening. Initially there is a fresh and bitter note, hard to describe what is predominant, but mint and ivy are good, the cinnamon I smell only conditionally. A cool, modern fragrance, more suitable for autumn or winter. Long lasting Sillage, the scent hardly changes, perhaps becomes a little warmer with time. I still like him very much after all these years! Oh yes, the bottle is a bit unwieldy, but still chic. Clear line and appears somewhat cool. Fits like a fist auf´s Eye to content!

Nothing has been written here for a long time! And it's such a beautiful scent. I've had Duel for several years now, there's still something in the bottle, because I also wear other fragrances in the meantime. After a long search in the Oberpollinger in Munich I was recommended Duel by a very nice saleswoman. Duel is not an aggressive, intrusive fragrance, as the name might suggest, it is rather light, delicate, but also bitter, but never intrusive. And: he is absolutely unique, it may be that he is the mate, but nothing else smells like Duel.
Initially a surprisingly strong Sillage, dry, strawy (as one of my previous reviewers wrote), it is quite good, fresh, but not citric. A fragrance for all seasons, even if it comes especially well in summer. Unfortunately the durability is very limited, after 3-4 hours it is only weakly perceptible. But these 3 hours one has for it a smell, which surely not everyone has and which attracts attention. Because he's so unusual

After a long, long search and 15 different scent samples/fillings that I had sent for, it has now become GIT. My new scent and I am very happy. I've been using perfumes for over 20 years now, and I like to keep on using something new. Lastly, I had the classic Fahrenheit for a long time, but this was clearly too violent/petroleum-like for my Holden, so I was looking for something new. And luckily (or bad luck for me) there is parfumo.de. Therefore now also my first comment to a smell here, I find the side super!
What worlds there were! Before, I actually only knew the current standards from the orange drugstores or smaller perfume shops, glorious exception: Duel by Annick Goutal. A coincidence purchase, made possible by the beautiful consultation of a nice saleswoman in the Munich Oberpollinger.
But here now: first of all the rankings thinned, forum contributions read. Niche perfumes? I didn't know anything else. So I ordered some rehearsals, among others Itasca, some scents from Olfactive Studio, Aventus and GIT. Many things were discarded immediately (Olfactive Studio, I didn't like any of them), others tested longer on the skin and of course (important!) let the woman sniff them. Terre d´Hermes, Aventus and GIT were on the shortlist for me, GIT has become so, even though I have long hesitated whether the price...
What struck me right away was the clear proximity to Cool Water. I don't think you can deny them either, the similarity is simply too obvious, even if they develop in various ways afterwards. In my humble, inconsequential opinion, Green Irish Tweed is a fragrance that can always be worn, even if it is more suitable for the warmer seasons. Starts relatively fresh and botanical (I deliberately avoid the term "green"), also maritime associations come up. I hardly find him citric. Unobtrusive, but present, striking, but not pungent. The initial freshness slowly gives way to a warmer powderiness, also somewhat flowery, but never even rudimentarily sweet or pompous. The only thing I could criticize is that GIT loses external impact relatively quickly, the Sillage is certainly not as strong as e.g. Terre d´Hermes. On the skin, the scent is very noticeable for about 6 hours, after which it slowly decreases. But it's also perfectly all right, GIT wants to be more discreet, I think. I am always happy when I perceive it and I am sure that it will give pleasure to its wearer even after prolonged use.
As I said, the price is already borderline (I paid 160€ for 100ml), you also pay a lot for the name Creed, but you get something nice for it. The price difference for CW is only so much: of course it is much cheaper and the similarity is there. But GIT is then simply finer, more unobtrusive and the awareness of not wearing the scent of everyday life also makes a difference. Maybe a little olfactory placebo effect, but I'm glad I bought it. I'm curious to see how long he will accompany me as a signature
