MT1575

What do we have there then, for a long time I have been adamant to try out this fragrance, because needle fragrance is not necessarily among my favorites and I always inevitably have to think of "Arbre Magique Pino" from my childhood, this miracle tree which hung in every car of the 80s and had stunk terribly. But this scent has as little to do with the Christmas tree from my youth as Tom Ford has with Mustang. Green is the motto here, or rather green incense, and this name fits like a fist on the eye. A splash of this elegant little water on my skin unleashes a green-citric scent that at first reminds me of pinimenthol paired with candied lemon peel, but disappears within a few minutes. Afterwards a pleasant mix of incense, benzoin, bitter almond and bux tree spreads out, the citric undertone remains easily perceptible. My nose wanders again and again towards my forearm to sniff out this mixture of green and resinous essences. I have light sweet but also fresh and earthy notes (is this the cardamom?) which are so densely interwoven that they result in a beautiful composition. This fragrance actually reminds me of Christmas, Christmas in Italy, where I enter a monastery where a festively decorated flu (preseppe) decorated with moss and pine branches welcomes the visitors. Incense burns somewhere in the vaulted monastery church and impregnates the air with incense, accompanied by a discreetly perceptible smell of old porous damp walls and dusty old wood.

Do you know that, you come into a room or building that has a certain smell, you suck up the air inside you until it tickles in your jaw and you find it pleasantly even soothing almost intoxicating, you just want to absorb more of that smell in you? That's how I feel about Vert d'Encens, this fragrance conjures up images in my head and awakens memories of the past, revives the old as if it were happening at that moment, not many perfumes can do that!

But now I have digressed a bit, actually I wanted to describe the scent.
In the middle with me so from one hour I perceive less and less of the green, it becomes gourmandig I smell marzipan some vanilla candied violets that rebel against the resinous one. These chords then fly away after another hour and it comes to a very nice ending which turns into a soft-powdery-balsamic scent on my skin, which gradually becomes weaker and weaker.

I have found here a new favourite fragrance which is not worn everyday but in a special way

Today he arrived, I ordered the EDC Neroli Doré simply times blind on the basis of the evaluations. What can I say, as soon as I had the package in my hands, I had to tear it open and taste the delicious golden Necktar. Sprung up and waited for the Zing... hmm maintained and serviced
Where is the spark that tells me, "I will bathe in it, I will seduce you, I will ensnare you, I will take you all for myself"? The scent doesn't ignite (yet), I don't know why... maybe I had expected too much, Neroli Portofino is for me a benchmark that (certainly also pricewise) wants to be reached, this olfactory over-scented is for me the benchmark how the little Neroli must smell, fruity, lively, freshly stinging a fragrance that a fireworks explodes by its freshness in the nose. All this is missing; there is not even a 08/15 fireworks rocket from the discounter ignited, well it does not always have to, even a sparkler can be something very beautiful, unfortunately, it is not even enough for this comparison. Neroli yes there is also the saffron is unmistakable, I can perceive it, but everything in such a reserved tone that you might think it is a splash and not a cologne. Sprayed on and there for five minutes and away again. I'm disappointed what the house Hermes delivers here, I know "Un Jadin sur le Nil" and "Le Jardin de Monsieur Li" which can convince with freshness and effervescence, but Noroli Doré simply lacks everything. But this is only my first impression, so I still give this fragrance a chance to please me. I know a lot of fragrances got a bad rating on the first contact, but then at the third fourth spray they still ignited. I'll report!

... that's how it must smell when the dominatrix unpacks her leather whip and pulls her cigar in the corner of her mouth! The leather dominates the opening together with plenty of spicy smoke, a few minutes later I can spot vetiver (even if this is not mentioned in the fragrance pyramid) and patchouli is added, giving the fragrance an earthy note. There's no trace of Rose here. I seem to remember that Bulgari Black has a similar composition, at least at that time (15 years ago) I had this smell of burning rubber (the process where tires are vulcanized) in my nose. After 10-15 minutes this pungent smell disappears and the wooden chords spread. I can perceive sandalwood and earthy cedar, I am still waiting for the rose... The perfume is sold / marketed as unisex, but I find it much too spicy / woody, I would rather assign it to the masculine direction. I find it extraordinary (good) and unconventional, you don't smell it every day. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the rose, wherever it hides.

The last rays of sunshine disappear behind the sandy dunes, the caravan gets ready to make camp for the night. A cool breeze blows from the direction of Bazar to the easterly oasis, the spices swing lightly and combine with the scent of the ripe dates that hang tightly and sweetly on the palm trees and wait to be finally harvested. The sweet, heavy jasmine of the shore grows along with the sweet scent of the roses that wildly conquer the sky on the rock face behind the source of the life-giving water. A fire is ignited at the edge of the oasis, yellow and glowing red the blazing flames beat into the night sky, the scent of fresh smoke mixes with the fruity floral bouquet that the cool evening breeze chases through the oasis. A tablet with freshly cut fruits is served to the lingering ones, juicy oranges with a chai with fresh lemon, muffled happy voices echo through the night until the heat of the fire only gives off a soft crackle and the embers slowly extinguish, the travellers have gone to sleep and only a breath of spicy ash remains in the air

What shall I say, here we have an Oriental in front of us that is not a typical Oriental, the heavy sweetness is very reserved here, also I cannot perceive any Oud, the scent is warm slightly citric chyphre, a pleasing scent. The perfume is marketed as unisex which I can't quite sign, I find him too masculine. Somehow the fragrance seems very familiar to me, it carries the Hugo Boss Gen (a mixture of Hugo and Dark Blue) which disappears after a while and then changes into a warm vanilla tone. I find the perfume extremely successful and can recommend it without reservation. Price/Performance is Top!
