Here you have the 80’s pioneer barbershop scent, a timeless lavandery/green fougère composition. Very fine, but nothing special, not a head turner since all kind of shaving foams smelling like this. Feels clean, mature and elegant, but became very common, something like Bleu de Chanel by the scent of every cheap shower gels for men.

Since I am not only a perfume enthusiast, but a maniac collector too, I also having womens fragrances. When my girlfriend has smelled my newly arrived Mademoiselle EDP, she immediately understood how a ‘love at first sight perfume’ feels like. She wanted an own one immediately. Soon after her birthday came, and I gifted her a Coco Mademoiselle Intense, but it is so expensive that not a single person could afford to use it as an everyday fragrance.
Last time we were at the local Lidl, she was looking toothpaste, and I noticed Lidl’s perfumes.
When I smelled this one, right after dropped into my basket, and was so happy because I have found a very close dupe for 5€.
If you like Mademoiselle, don’t hesitate, you won’t find better alternative.
The scent is refined, not having that synthetic chemical vibe what cheap juices used to have. The projection is decent, the longevity is fair.
Absolutely recommended!

L'Homme Absolu was missing from my collection for years, because this is less common, and rarely appears at Parfumo souk or buy&sell groups.
Now I found one for a very reasonable price (75€ for a 99ml bottle), actually it was cheaper than the Intense version, so immediately grabbed it.

My first impressions:
D'oh! This is a blend of Intense(90%) and L'Eau(10%).
Absolu is a big big disappointment to me.
I expected a little bit more creativity from Prada, and now I understand the reason why Absolu didn't became popular.
Because it barely differs from Intense (which is much better btw).

As the title suggests, this one is the ultimate best unisex flowery scent.
To be honest, I always be very sceptical about floral unisex scents, in my opinion the were feminine or masculine until now.

If you take a look on the fragrance notes, the feminine(musk, vanilla, jasmine, hibiscus and orange blossom) and masculine notes(patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, amber and osmanthus) are perfectly balanced(50-50%) and the parfumeur did a very good job, because the result is a totally unisex scent.
Besides the following notes, I feel some oldskool turkish rose, what could be awesome and awful as well. In this case, it is gorgeous!!

I’ve never liked patchouly, because I have’t seen any perfume in which the smokey-earthy nature of patchouli would be well blended with the other ingredients.
But I’m amazed, because Le Péché proves it’s possibility.

I don’t know who is the composer of Le Péché, but I admire her/him so much!

Short opinion:
The absolute winner of the ‘soapy fragrances’ category.

Deeper thoughts:
Eisenberg is a totally new brand to me, and seems to be quite unpopular, the reason of that is the high price of Eisenberg scents. However the stuff looks interesting, I never dared to order a bottle, because the community reviews and the prices were not matchy.

Few days ago I found a bundle of three Eisenberg perfumes (J’ose, Le Péché, Diabolique) for bucks, and I am very surprised.

Nice box, beautiful bottle, and an artistic soapy/powdery scent. Wonderful like a fairytale.

Shines and flies away like a shooting star.

Because of the poor longevity and weak sillage not worth it’s retail price, but very very good.
