Versace Eros has a well-known past. So the turquoise bottle of Medusa 2012 was launched. It is the symbol of the brand and also a reference to ancient Greek mythology.

Unfortunately, the scent is not yet available in Germany, so my experience is going to a souk. Many thanks at this point to the user Lacrimalus!

The fragrance opens hyper fresh and reminds me a bit of neon from Aaron Terence Hughes, but much rounder and fruitier and less like a toilet stone. The lemon and tangerine coupled with green mint give it a clearly recognizable DNA and a remarkable sillage in the opening. The Drydown reminds me of an evening walk in Florence. A light mediterranean scent rises in the nose, pictures of a historical old town with a lot of history pass by in my mind's eye, the desire for a relaxed evening with good food and wine in a convivial round of mature men grows

The touch of roses gives the fragrance something floral and lively without becoming feminine. At the base, Eros slides through ambermax and virginia cedar into a sensual cedar note, which is dark, mature and mature with patchouli, a touch of leather and the sweetness of vanilla. Versace Eros EDP underlines a southern man around 30 who knows what he wants without compromising. He is not a OneMillion for party-beasts or a Bleu de Chanel for CEOs, but a mixture of both worlds, a VIP among fragrances. You have to like him and I can imagine that for many people this is a "hit or miss" fragrance. Compared to the EDT, this fragrance is more mature and has more character, but without losing its strengths.

After dear Salva triggered me yesterday with his great statement, I packed my things today and went back to the turquoise D to test a flanker from my favourite perfumes. The Boss Bottled line was the starting point for me into the world of fragrances and is therefore something very special for me personally. Boss Bottled Intense is the Spritus rector of the series, simply an incomparably good sweet-spicy scent, especially for colder days.

Can this flanker keep up is now the question? Honestly, I'm a bit brooding about what to make of that smell. The opening is far less sweet than the first floor, and the cinnamon note is also much more restrained. Instead, nutmeg, pepper and cardamom come to the fore, accompanied by a hint of apple, a shy hint of cinnamon, rounded off by bergamot and underscored by vetiver, sandalwood and some cedar. The Boss DNA is recognisable, the musk gives the fragrance a touch of creaminess, suitable for the colder days. Amazingly, however, it does not lack freshness at all. It is not too heavy and retains the uplift of older flankers, but with a more centered character without being boring.

Boss Bottled and Bottled Intense can be imagined as identical twins, the eau de parfum as the child who is born two years later and is too good to play with Lego, but instead starts reading books and graduating from high school, thinking that not everything is bad about his brothers and therefore copies certain character traits.

Christ Hemsworth is the face of Kamapgne. A quick "Guugl" reveals his character traits:

"He has strength and respectability. Hemsworth tends to dress in a utilitarian manner, concerned mostly with convention, practicality, durability, and price. He presents himself as someone who values correctness, control, and precision. All of this stems from the fact that Chris' most prized characteristic is his work."

Hits the nail on the head for whom this fragrance is suitable. An unobtrusive, "correct" fragrance with a little edge ("spiciness") and less playful than the original, for the mature gentleman from 25 years of age who radiates self-confidence, suitable for the working environment, but also sometimes for cheerful evening hours. No sillage and durability monster, no price boxer, but a Boss-typical gentleman fragrance, which embodies modernity without becoming boring. Recommendable!

The highest mountains in the world are over 8000 meters high. There are only 14 of them, all others are less high, but by no means more difficult to climb. There are also scent pyramids, which are different in height and different in their downward direction in different compositions.

It is not my first perfume by Tom Ford, which I was allowed to test, but due to the missing impression of the predecessor, I went into this test completely unbiased. The quality of Tom Ford's fragrances would be described by some as the tip of the iceberg of perfumers' art. Some runaways downwards do not at all diminish the overall picture and not everyone likes every fragrance. The "black orchid" is for me 2020 the Mount Everest among fragrances, a king among fragrance compositions, difficult to understand, but easy to enjoy and to wear with pride.

For one or the other, there might be "better" scents in the area of the Nieschen fragrances, just as mountaineers prefer to climb the Matterhorn. But it must be said that this scent has been so well formed, so brilliantly harmonised. A dark orchid underscored with the spiciness of patchouli, as well as a pleasant sweetness of ylang-ylang and plums. Rum Absolue serves as a link, which remains pleasantly in the background, but from the fragrance laces a package that remains unmistakably unique.

Similar to mountaineers on an ascent, the fragrance lingers for a long time in the room, on the skin and the surroundings, is clearly perceptible in the wearer's surroundings and caresses the charisma of the person who appreciates the fragrance. Strong in character, memorable, opulent, yet elegant, courteous and perfect in appearance, Black Orchid Perfume completes the whole art of a perfumer. Great.

Ozone is my first fragrance from ATH and also somehow my first niche fragrance, if you can call it that. For a summer scent I find Ozone relatively complex and heavy. A little uplift with maritime notes would have been good for him. The lime is only a short warm-up, followed by coconut and ambroxan, and lasts for the life of the fragrance.

There is absolutely no obtrusive smell that Ozone gives off, but a clearly perceptible one that reminds me of a creamy summer yoghurt that one likes to eat with pleasure on a lounger under palm trees in summer. Sun milk smells different for me. The woody notes give the fragrance a masculine, more complex note and the ozone, together with ambroxane, makes for a very good silage. I don't notice mint at all. It's also my first fragrance that I was approached about. But according to the nice conditions in the beer garden it smelled Bvlgari Black, which I unfortunately had to deny. Since I do not know the scent, I cannot make any comparisons

In conclusion I can say that I find the fragrance very pleasant and I like to wear it, but I would have wished for a little more freshness instead of complexity and heaviness. The only inferior thing about the fragrance is the bottle, which absolutely does not meet the quality standards of designer or niche fragrances. But well, what can you do?

Purchased a week ago in Munich, worn a week, a week of mixed feelings. After a long time I got some advice in a well known perfumery in Munich and on my remark that Bleu de Chanel is my absolute favourite scent, I was allowed to smell some fragrances. There were fragrances from Atkinsons, Memo Paris and also Philly&Phill. From a selection of about 10 fragrances of all price ranges, there were many interesting ones. I tried not to look on the internet to avoid being influenced by the scents

My nose then convinced me of Romeo on the Rocks. A wonderfully fresh, somewhat sweetish attack quickly turns into a little lemon, combined with woody notes and musk. A great, fresh combination and overall a really successful fragrance that I like to wear.
BUT...the durability and sillage are an absolute joke for 149 Euro. It's partly because of me and my skin, because I love fresh and elegant scents, but they never last very long. Even with BdC, for example, I have to re-spray and even with the fresher scents of ATH, which actually have a great durability, my skin eats up the scent. With Romeo on the Rocks however, the Sillage is not noticeable even with 5-10 spraying impacts 30cm. Today I sprayed the scent at 2pm, went for a walk in the city, went shopping and had something to eat, got home at 6pm and I could only guess a tiny whiff of the scent.

I understand that the fragrance wants to be fresh and unobtrusive, but there is so much more potential in the fragrance. Give that thing more h/p and I'll buy it right back. But this will be my last 100ml bottle (unfortunately it was not smaller). Instead, I'm going to look at other scents from the same house, because there seem to be a few good scents with appealing H/S on the market.

Apart from that, it can be said in conclusion that the fragrance is really very pleasant and elegant, but due to its lack of sillage and durability, it loses some of its credit
He seems like he wants to, but can't... as well as he should, but can't.
