Too warm for revolution
He picks a stalk of peppermint.
He snips a lime.
He opens the bottle of rum and pours in.
He twirls the peppermint between his fingers.
The bottle is open, the rum is evaporating.
He takes out a cigar.
He rolls it between his fingers.
He is sitting in the sun.
He is sitting on wood.
The tobaco and the peppermint and a slug of rum.
The rest is warm air, since it is to warm for a revolution.
Everything else is unimportant.

For the good cause
I bought the fragrance for three reasons, first, because I wanted a Lavender scent, second, bacause I had a crush on the bottle and third, because it was for a good cause.
The Bottle was a big disappointment. No Box (except for the shipping box), a slightly different bottle and a wholly different cap.
The fact that it is a splash bottle doesn't bother me.
The scent is lavender, nothing more, but also nothing less. It starts with a fresh but flowery lavender note and ends up as a slightly sweet lavender, so there is not much of development in it. But it delivers what i expect, its lavendery.
If I have had the chance to try it before buying it, I most likely would have bought another one (fuck the good cause).

Top but Flop
Aristocracy with a dirty tang.
On Basenotes I read about this fragrance respectively the "house" as "The German Creed" since Creed uses every bit of "history" to sell their fragrances. The campain for Von Sierstorpff was also underlaid with some facts and some more story/myth.
The Perfume totally vanished. Sometimes one can still find a bottle, but even the website is for sale.
The Scent of a Gentleman begins with citric notes, the strongest of them is once again bergamotte, escorted by neroli, although its not on the list. Rather unusual for me is the mandarin note. Wile bergamotte is fading, eucalyptus is thankfully disturbing the flowery notes and the sweetish mandarin.
The cardamom in the heart reminds me a bit of Chanels pour Monsieur.
After quite a while (I allmost forgott which perfume I'm wearing) the base is reached. Some parts, especially the tobaco, are earlyer "smellable" the other notes follow. The base got a kind of fringy start. But in the end, I only smell a warm, slightly woody base, with no dominating notes.
The sterling silver capped bottle without any label looks really nice and also feels that way.
I still like the perfume but only because of the eucalyptus and its dissonant contribution to the scent. Imagine the fragrance without eucalyptus... it would be boring.
