Welcome to the Orient
While my friends and acquaintances were asking me about my oh-so-large perfume collection (the most frequent comments: "what do you need so many perfumes for?"), I was still very happy with my perfume collection "do you want to open a perfumery?" "do you still need that?") every 2m asking for advice what great fragrance I could recommend and how I would like the Dior sauvage, I learned the following things through Parfumo:
1. My collection is in the lower midfield in terms of number and quality.
2. There is not only good or bad (there are hardly any scents where I think: not possible and even less wow effect scents)
3. I have/have absolutely no idea about perfumes
The most important and decisive point for this comment is clearly the third. For 32 years, of which I count about 16 as conscious, I have been denied oriental fragrances by single-minded ignorance and maybe a little arrogance. Where was the view over the edge of the plate? Past Dior Sauvages, Acqua di Gios and other contemporaries, which are not bad scents at all, but do not bring the effect you want to achieve with a perfume. Individuality, authenticity, freedom. Isn't that what we really strive for? But no, I walk through such interesting places like Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Hebron, Amman and and and and... And I refuse to have a truly new experience with a local scent. Sad, actually. But now for the day of awakening, of resurrection if you will.
In the morning at work, of course with the same expressionless perfume on your skin, check your emails, a message at Parfum? OK, check directly. I get a perfume, mega am happy what it is for one? A Rasasi, never heard of it but "actually" I am open for everything (you have seen the last 16 years... Idio...). And of course I'm happy about the great gesture. The next day the package is already there, so unpack it, and behold, the Rasasi has been joined by another scent... Leather oud? Orientica? Never heard of it either. Just sprayed into the lid and was more than excited about this great, extraordinary scent. But that is not what makes this scent so special.
2/3 days later we go out for dinner with friends. I know the location, full noisy restaurant with open kitchen in the middle of the room. Great to look at but the steam and therefore smell extraction could be much stronger. So now I decide to go for this great new scent I got. What was it called again? Oriental? Anyway, it smells very good. Dressed up, got in the car and off we went.
The fragrance found a fine transition to its heart note during the journey and further into the base note and that's where it happened. I found the scent good to very good at first, but now the smell made my scent receptors dance. This mixture of sweet raspberry and the leather just blew me away. Never before have I experienced such a strong development and differentiation of the individual notes, and I was thrilled. Not only me, many questions what an extraordinary
Smell I'm wearing then gave such a great feeling. After the meal we turned night into day and even after 8 hours the smell was still good and relatively far smelling.
Even the next 'morning' (I got up at 13.00) my whole bedroom smelled of Orientica leather oudh, yes, now I knew the name, it was burned into my head. That was probably because I was not able to shower at night and the shirt I was wearing had taken up one side of my bed
All I want to say is that this fragrance is a great introduction to the world of oriental fragrances. After a strong introduction comes an even better main part and no end at all :D. After the Rasasi is at least as good for me, I am finally one step further in the teaching of fragrances and have now learned to know and love oriental fragrances
Now a little sermon that must be. My big thanks and the 'dedication' of this article goes out to fog woman, only through you I could get this extraordinary experience. Furthermore thanks to the great community.
Good night together

Oh, how beautiful Panama is...
...often it's only when you've been somewhere else that you realize what you have together"
This sentence, which I so gladly borrow from Max Herre for all kinds of situations, is at least as versatile as this great fragrance by Rochas. But as much as I like this fragrance, there was a moment in my younger years when I simply "got fed up". It fits somehow ;).
But as much as I tested other perfumes described as coffee scents, I wanted my Rochas back.
This beautiful entry with lavender as the main note then the fine transition into sweet coffee and even more sweet coffee. Mhhhhhhhhhh... Every nuance of this perfume reminds me of the greatest situations of my late youth. The way home (on foot, of course) with my boys after a night of drinking in one of the many clubs in our old town, summer evenings on the Rhine meadows with everybody, Christmas with the family... But also my first job interview, or being asked about the great smell by fellow students and teachers at the university and vocational school.
In my opinion there are hardly any situations to which Rochas cannot be worn. The fragrance has a long range with only a few splashes, only the durability could be longer. Personally, I think the bottle is very beautiful, only the plastic on top could be replaced by a metal.
In the end, after all these years, this fragrance is still one of my favourite scents and from my rather small and not very high-quality collection, it is clearly among the top 3. I can recommend this perfume to anyone who is looking for a good, extraordinary, recognisable fragrance at a very good price.

Great Jeremy...
Oh, man... what am I gonna say to Jeremy? For about a month now I've been listening to his old and new videos and pleading guilty. Now apart from his push-ups/trainings/punch-kicks videos, which are unfortunately getting more and more frequent, I think this guy is really great. Even if I do not agree with some of his scents, I just like to listen to his opinion.
At some point I now came across the video in which he praises cheap super perfumes. No sooner said than done, opened a new tab at the same time, searched the perfume distribution site of my confidence, ordered two perfumes. Unfortunately the delivery, I think because of Corona, took 3 days longer, so I had to wait 5 days. So I watched the video 500 times instead of the moderate 200 times. In short, the tension rose in the immeasurable, I have actually expected earth-shattering.
The day came, me in the home office, doorbell rings, door opens... Cleaning lady for the hallway... then, a little later, the doorbell rings again, parcel carrier puts my goods in the elevator and sends them up. Patient as I was I waited until closing time of course... not. In the package were now Nautica Voyage and F Black. First tested Voyage... with this anticipation I had, unfortunately, a big disappointment. Surely not a bad scent at this price, but, also really only at this price. A little disillusioned, I tested the other bottle... hopefully not such a "flop" (a little exaggeration). So the other wrist has to go...ok...it smells extraordinary... smells great... no, even really good. A great smell for a great price. What more could you want? Durability! Unfortunately, after a few hours the Sillage is zero and the scent is only to be sniffed very closely.
Nevertheless, I find the scent extraordinary and pleasant, not only at work, but also in the evening for going out, if you don't necessarily go to a club.
So Jeremy, thanks for a really great scent, but unfortunately it fades a bit too fast

I want that coward smell!
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago... a beautiful time... when my elder brother provided me with his disused perfume remnants. While I had to give my existence time limits with fragrances by Bruno Banani (absolutely no devaluation), my brother enjoyed perfumes by Diptique and other niche products whose names I had never heard before, let alone pronounced
Once one of these fragrances found its way into my hands, it was like a revelation... And so it was with diptyque philosykos (Don't worry, I'll get to Molecule ????). The smell put me in a trance, it made people who were two meters away from me feel from morning to night to respond to this extraordinary scent. It was a great feeling!
As with any good fragrance, the bottle emptied far too quickly. Then, having arrived at a different age and ready to dig deeper into my pocket for a good scent, I remembered those great days. Unfortunately, the name slipped my mind over time, how can you remember a name that you can't pronounce? So off to his trusted perfumery, mine. After a long back and forth with the extremely friendly and patient lady on site we made it! I finally got the name... My darling!!!
But, as if it was fate, it was out of stock.
Despite a damaged mine on my part, the saleswoman told me about a new, extraordinary perfume, which is unique in its ingredients and composition. Disappointed as I was, I decided to cheer myself up by buying this perfume. "I'm sure she just wants to sell, but whatever you have, you have." So, at that time I put over 100 euros on the counter and tried it out directly.
After a short time the blow hit me, I can't smell anything!!! So instead of the revelation, I had the Zonk... I should have taken door number 3... ( What was that again with the goat problem? ) Smell-wise disappointed, so in the evening on a date, great woman, great bar and... apparently I smelled EXCELLENT!? My counterpart could hardly keep her nose off my throat, it was crazy. This happened even more often, it was like a spell. Strangely enough I smelled this scent on myself more and more with time, and it smelled incredible. Has now clearly developed into my signature scent. On no other fragrance I am more often addressed than on this one, although it is quite well known by now.
In retrospect, the saying is probably true: afterwards, you always know more. And so it was for me with Molecule 1. I would never want to miss the fragrance again and can only recommend it to everyone.

Price/performance good
Ordered after a recommendation on Youtube.
A lot was expected, but unfortunately could not be fulfilled. Nevertheless it is a pleasant, fresh, everyday summer scent at an unbeatable price. For me personally a little too sporty and too synthetic, that does not meet my taste.
The top note is initially quite penetrating and strong, but this changes very quickly.
This perfume can be confidently reduced to the heart, which gives off a fresh, rather flowery scent.
From the base I would have wished for a little more cedar and amber, these are apparently only contained in extremely small doses.
On my skin after approx. 3 hours hardly to sniff.
Sillage: Extremely discreet, which is something I appreciate especially with more synthetic fragrances
The bottle is chic to look at, no frills, I like it very much. The atomizer is rather of low quality.
Conclusion: Objectively, a mediocre, yet pleasant scent, even if it does not meet my taste. If you add the price, you really get a good perfume for your money. If someone likes aquatic scents and is looking for a fragrance for everyday life, Nautica Voyage can be recommended.
