Black & White
Hello everyone,

finally it is so far and I have vacation 2020 at 38 degrees Celsius and the time and leisure to write you. As a very new Parfumo user it is always an interesting first time to write your very first comment for a high priced niche perfume. If you have any feedback, I'll be happy to hear it, as always. But here we go! That's what we are here for.

Optics

Nice box! The design is for me as a black and white fan and Bauhaus avant-garde, definitely one of the most beautiful flacons ever created.

A hat similar to the Round Pizza Hut, on a star-shaped bottle and two confusing colours. Wow. I like to post some pictures to show you the elegance but also the sophistication. That's what my America (yes, I have roots there and lived there for a long time) agrees to so great. Pizza Hut cap with star flacon and designer scent ;)

The cap does not close with me 100% This (excuse me) horniest cap ever really a pity. The processing is better possible at this price! The sprayer is completely OK.

Scent

I have because I can see that there are so far only short comments on this and the Youtuber, Monsieur Tuyau once said that he is interested in it, has been experimenting the last 2 days.

The scent is unisex for me. I also have some other fragrances that are similar to it, but I'll get to that later.
Personally, I always distinguish with the season and skin and clothing.

Soho wants to be like the district,

Modern, cool, pleasant and flowery. Soho who hasn't seen it yet is a trendy district of New York where the money of Wall Street meets art, youthfulness, freedom, individuality and new ideas. It's a great place to dine and party, but everything is under a certain elegance. The owner of Bond No9. dedicates with much love and devotion to each district and each beach as a summer scent, a fragrance one of New York which is certainly a great and modern idea.

How RIGHT IS HE NOW?

I'll get to the point for you now

Man or woman mix Prada L'Homme with Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540!

Ready!!!

No not quite I have really experimented with it and come to the following conclusion.

The soapy and great cleanliness of a Prada L'Homme paired with orange and currant. The fragrance applied fresh to skin or polo shirt is fruity and clean.
Iris and jasmine take away the orange from femininity and especially the currant quickly takes power and the fragrance becomes PURE.

It is well wearable in the office, casual but also on a date. Simply a very beautifully composed perfume for her as for him.

Silage

I can smell it for about 6-8 hours and that very strongly. I personally do not perceive the wood note that many people here evaluate.
Many people have asked me about this fragrance in their private and professional lives and the feedback has always been very positive.


Finaler 3 Zeiler:

Super aesthetic bottle with a Saubermann fruit image.
Prada L'Homme is even cleaner than before
Baccarat Rouge 540 is minimally more intense

But

Together you are

SOHO

Just a great part of town and a damned aesthetic scent.

Arabian Volkswagen
Yes, yes, the good old Volkswagen. A car for everyone with a very good durability, versatility of equipment but never at home in the premium segment ... (I don't want to sell a car to anyone here ;) that's not my intention at all but ...)

Yes the house Swiss Arabian reminds me a little bit of this comparison and if the Audis, BMWs and Benz of the Arabian fragrance industry are called perhaps Amouage, Tom Ford etc., then the house Swiss Arabian is definitely worth a look. Like my first own car back when I was 18 when it went to the Bund, Swiss Arabian is also one of my first brands not following the fragrance mainstream and I can say 3 purchases. 3 times very positively impressed.

For publication

Attar al Ghutra comes to my office in a very valuable package. The noble packaging, which could have come from the pen of any Apple packaging designer, makes me curious.
Unboxing... Colleague comes in WOW what is this, it cost 300€ Euro or what? I am smiling because I paid exactly 55€ for it and many expensive niche fragrances that I am now allowed to own, which cost many times more, do not come half as lovingly and well presented.
The flacon is of high quality (well, the brillies on the cap glitter very bling bling like) and is now finally made shorter by the cap.

To the fragrance

First thought very Arabic, masculine and has a lot.
The top notes of raspberries, saffron and oud fly towards me.
The incense and the rose come forward after 20-30 minutes and the fragrance develops. I discover smells from the kitchen.
Thyme is very present but also the sweetness of rose or raspberry and the powerful oud are present with opulent incense.

After 3-4 hours the friend says to me that I also have animal leather.
I really enjoy exploring the scent pyramid on my skin or on the polo shirt I wear.
When I come home in the evening at about 10 o'clock my daughter and my wife talked to me about the scent and I am glad to have sprayed only 2 strokes because Attar al Ghutra has power and is biting and penetrating with more than 2 strokes as I have tested in a self-experiment.
I like this scent very much and although it is a typical winter scent I can't resist to wear it in summer as well
I can smell this fragrance on myself all the time, even now that I am enjoying my holiday in the evening on this mild summer night and am writing here for you again.

Overall, the fragrance is recommended for people who love Arabic fragrances or want to start buying them and do not want to spend 200-300€ to read on the counter. I, for one, think I will buy the fragrance again and like to wear it here and there.

Neon Hubba Bubba chewing gum
18:36 is when I start writing this comment. I sprayed Joop Homme last night and it still smells good where it was sprayed 20 hours ago.

So this purple bottle with the strong chemical mixture just makes me think again.

Joop Homme is almost 30 years old and still a hip fragrance in the German-speaking world.
When spraying on, this very strong artificial sweetness of citrus, cherry, cinnamon and orange chords unfolds immediately, somehow too sweet and yet coherent.

The fragrance is pure chemical laboratory not only because of its pink/purple color, but also because of the synthetic scent DNA.

BUT somehow it is coherent and despite its sweetness it adapts to the man who wears it.
The shelf life and silage is brutally good for an eau de toilette and the fragrance lasts for almost 1 full day 24 hours, as already mentioned above, and is also 6-8 hours good smelling for the environment.

Although it is getting on in years, it still fits with its pushy, chemical and oriental sweetness to occasions like parties, nightlife and even disco quite well.

I can't imagine this dominant teenager pushing in front of people in the office, but I can imagine it on many informal occasions.

For 20-30€ the prospective customer gets a chemical club with brutal durability, 80's charm, Saturday Night Feelings and a fragrance that tells everyone HEY hier bin ICH.

Rose Oud chocolate in the golden bottle
Shaghaf Oud was recommended to me by a good friend when I was asked what good "beginner" oud fragrance there is here. I think for 25€ you can't do anything wrong and like to try it.
What was delivered to my office a few days later still makes me think.

Especially with good oud fragrances one quickly pays 25€ for a small bottling of 5-10 ML and the undoubtedly excellent niches like designer fragrances in the oud segment cost from 150€ upwards.

This fragrance is a POWER MONSTER from head to toe and lasts 12 hours and upwards on my skin. It is the fragrance with the longest durability in my collection. The sensual rose as well as the austere and dominant oud combine to a holiday memory from 1001 nights. This is very pleasant and also smells natural and not synthetic or even chemical.

There is absolutely nothing for me to criticize or criticize about this fragrance. Even the somewhat cheap-looking golden bottle cannot be criticized for the demanded price and I wonder if I own a comparable product for such a modest purchase price.
Shaghaf Oud LEVES from the simplicity and intensity of its few ingredients.

Saffron, lots of rose, some chocolate, GAAAANZ lots of Oud

Everyone should try the fragrance of the
Rose Oud scents mag
Would like to try Oud
oriental scents search

and really everyone of the

is looking for a price performance benchmark.

With the top note Im Zitronenhain
I bought this very beautiful and discreet bottle by chance at the perfumery around the corner after spraying it some time ago.

Every time I spray the carving spray, I stand in thought in the lemon grove somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. I associate the carefree beautiful life and letting live a lemon grove full of flowerbeds.

The carving opens for me very strongly in the top note. It smells intense, pleasant and natural with lemon in the foreground and lavender and mint as companions. In the base after 2 hours of wearing, darker aromas like something wooden or even cardamom are added.
In general, however, the lemon and mint mixture is dominant and I find that with a good organic lemon and a mint shrub you can rarely go wrong, especially in summer...
BUT I am certainly not profound, mysterious, magical or strong in character.

The carving has the problems that many summer scents have durability and sillage...
With me it keeps 3-5 hours on the skin so there is enough time for a walk on the beach or a stroll but it is also no companion for the day. The same applies to the external effect or scent. He is perceptible, pleasantly no obtrusive fellow and a clean man in a white suit.

And that for a short time.

But what do I want when I stand at 27 degrees somewhere in Provence or on the Amalfi Coast? Do I want to enjoy complicated things there or the simplicity of being and natural, high-quality products.

I decide from time to time for the second variant and will spray this companion in summer from time to time
