A brief glimpse into dark mossy forest
I approached this fragrance with a lot of skepticism. EIn patchouli fragrance, which is also called Morass, so Morast, issued by a brand that is known for its creative patchouli experiments (winking greetings to Emsland, at this point).

In the bottle, it looks like herbal schnapps, and smells like it inside. Here in the North German lowlands there is the "Moorbrand", a herbal schnapps with peaty-spicy flavor. That was my first association with the look and smell of "Morass".

When applied to the skin, it unfortunately leaves a yellowish stain that remains. Directly on the skin light-skinned people should therefore not wear it. Also on light-colored clothing goes of course not at all.

After the herbal schnapps start, it becomes woodier (tart-spicy-woody) within minutes, as the alcohol dissipates. An interesting progression with potential.... Moss, wood and patchouli are clearly recognizable.

After 15 minutes, it reminds me of dark, slightly sweet, mossy wood. I like that! It emphasizes the woody side of patchouli.... The silage is still quite good here.

After about 2 hours, the silage has diminished considerably. EIn interesting and very natural sweetish-woody scent has developed.
You can wear it in the spare time probably times. It is not an everyday fragrance. For this he is too special and too weak. Suitable for all ages. Basically unisex, but by its spicy woodiness and lack of floral or fruity-sweet aspects rather masculine. He is basically all year wearable, but is by the lack of fresh notes more at home in the winter months.

I have been pleasantly surprised. Expected I had an intensely synthetic-sweet musty smell. But he is of course woody-mossy. He is best after 15 minutes and then until the first hour (so at least on me). After that, it weakens a lot, and the woody-mossy gives way to the classic patchouli vibe.
It could be less sweet and more woody for my taste....

The performance could be better. For a patchouli scent, it's pretty weak. He remains indeed at least 8 hours present, but after 2 hours only skinny (with me).

A thick minus is but the Abfärben. So he is only on dark clothes or dark skin wearable. As a light-skinned person, you absolutely have to make sure to wear a dark garment in the appropriate places to be able to apply the fragrance on it. This is somewhat impractical !

But the bottom line is that I still like it.
As a small quantity, a nice addition to the natural scents in my fragrance cabinet.
A patchouli lover friend once told me, "Patchouli isn't a scent, it's a smell that only becomes a scent when you combine it with other scents." Here, it has become a scent of dark mossy forest. If only for a short period of time.

Citrus spice instead of dark wood
The flacon design and the name have lured me. The thing just looks cool, and "dark woods" sounds like home ...

But what does it have to offer:

It starts off chirpy and spicy. Seeeeee very citrusy! But with a naturally herbaceous vibe...
For once, this is a citrusy scent that I like. These scents generally have a hard time with me.

Yes, it has a similar vibe to "Terre de Hermes" or even "Davidoff Horizon", but it's still quite different. The Hemes is orangy-earthy and this one is ztr-herbaceous and woody. Later in the drydown, when the citrus note weakens, it even becomes slightly gourmand as cardamom and nutmeg come through.

The DNA and also the actual scent impression, except for cedar, doesn't really give much that I would associate with "dark woods". The name is misleading. But nevertheless, it is an interesting and successful fragrance, I think. Nothing extraordinary or Herrausragendes, but occasionally in the summer and rather outdoors well to wear.

Age-wise I would see him for the group of gentlemen between 25 and 55 years. Nothing for teenagers and also nothing for Ü60.

So you should not be deterred by the head (both figuratively and olfactorily speaking). You have to let him in (want).

He is also gladly recommended for the winter. I see in him but a clear summer fragrance, because of its citrus-fresh charisma.
Just like "Terre de Hermes" by the way also.

And if the bottle is empty times, then he remains already alone for decoration in the cabinet :-).

The discreet all-rounder for the office
The Aigner fragrances always leave mih undecided. I do not know every time whether I like the fragrance now, or whether I find him too bland...

They have all been good so far. All pleasant fragrances, but all lack that certain something, the individuality....

So also No.1. I have now tested it twice on paper strips and once on the skin:

He starts pleasantly discreet spicy-woody and fresh.......and remains so, only loses freshness in the course. Smoke or leather would have done well in it ....

Because of the weak silage, you should double dose it. At the comparatively low price, however, that is quite veretbar.

An all-rounder for the Ü30 for the whole year. By its very discreet masculinity, he is, for example, a good office fragrance. He is self-confident and yet restrained, knows what he has and that he does not need to stand out.

He is not particularly exciting and, at least on me, not particularly long lasting. But, as "S.Oliver men" in the summer, I could imagine this one in the winter half-year occasionally as a change in the office, or to other occasions where discreetness is angbracht, to wear.

As a representative of the discreet men's fragrance in the fragrance cabinet, it is very suitable!

Pure XS of synthetic spice
Horny marketing, horny commercial, horny presentation on the shelf, ... And he has unfortunately also necessary!

The name has of course immediately lured me:

It opens with a citrusy, pungent ginger freshness and some synthetic fruitiness. And that doesn't change any more.

It is similarly extreme, but aud completely different way, as "Invictus". An interesting fragrance, but Rabanne just won't be my brand!
Even as a party fragrance, he would be too one-sided and too aggressive for me. He is certainly good for a U30 as a sharp party fragrance in the summer months.
For schoolchildren, students, trainees, etc. I recommend but then the Polish dupe of La Rive "Just on time". Almost the same fragrance with the same performance for a fraction of the price.

Also because of its one-sidedness, it is certainly well suited for layering other fragrances to bring Spice pure.

Peppery-sweet gourmand
The firepower was described here at Parfumo as a dupe to Gods night or Joops Wow. That made me sit up and take notice, because I like to smell them both, even if I don't like to wear them ...

So I had to get a taste of the Fiorepower:

It opens spicy and peppery, although there is no pepper in it, and has a sweetish freshness. The silage is discreet. The opening is quite interesting. But compared to Gods night, for example, it has less substance, seems lighter, is fresher and less based on the gourmand note.

After an hour it turns out that the Firepower is not a dupe for WOW or Gods Night, but already goes in their direction. It is spicier and fresher but less gourmand, which I find very pleasant.
But he is too weak on the whole. A higher dosage should be used....
Up to here I would have thought about getting it....

In the second hour, however, a synthetic sweetness develops, which disqualifies him absolutely for me. In Gods night this also appears, but is intercepted by his woody spice. This is missing here completely and makes the firepower from the second hour on seem a bit cheap to me. A pity.
