Sweet - Woody - Synthetic - But where is the raspberry?
After getting to know Parfumo and reading through various reviews, I actually went on a blind purchase. What can go wrong with a fresh raspberry potion? At that time Individuel was still in the Top 100! I had to like him
So what went wrong? Well, my nose went crooked. I sprayed the scent on my wrist and sniffed. Fresh for a minute, then sweet and woody. What about fruity? The fruit tends to sink in. Well, what about raspberry? I have frozen raspberries every morning and what I smell of fruit at Individuel does not smell like raspberries. Ok, I can imagine that someone can imagine that the fruity component might smell like a raspberry. At least go in the berry direction.
I also can't see any resemblance to fabric-softer/softwash, the sweetness is too heavy and penetrating - and above all the sweetness is too boring for me, because I miss the playfulness. Simply too well-behaved the boy.
Anyway, I was disappointed. The scent then remained rather linear sweet-woody. Over several years I tried again and again to get closer to the scent. But neither of us has warmed up to this day. At the last spraying I was finally annoyed by the sweetness and glad when the smell was gone
However, my colleagues liked the scent! They found my Lacoste pour Homme by far not so good in comparison.

Warm and fresh pine forest
My first comment, on The Essence - my first self-selected fragrance.
After a friend of mine was persuaded to do Kenneth Cole's Reaction at Turquoise, I also snooped through the shelves out of interest. I knew that nothing was aquatic - for too long such scents reminded me of the hated swimming lessons and sports shower gels of the 90s, which were all used for showering afterwards. But still I wanted a fresh scent
That's how I came across The Essence while tasting it. The bottle had the typical German-technical Porsche Design look and I liked it right away: the light blue glass, the brushed metal...
When smelling the strip, I liked the freshness, even though I couldn't tell the notes apart. So I got the scent as a Christmas present and tried it on me first (well, I was just a beginner). I already knew the fresh start, but when the heart note came, new images came into my head. The smell of pine reminded me of my acoustic guitar, which is also made of pine wood. The Art Nouveau building of my music school appeared before my eyes, how straight beams of light fell through the windows and the parquet floor creaked. It felt warm. Today I know that this comes from the balm and patchouli.
Odours are very subjective and so this fragrance may be standard for many products. For me no other scent has triggered these pictures.
I find the durability very good, already 7-8 hours (I can smell it on my clothes the next day) and also the projection is good.
I smelled it on someone else now and thought it was great there too. In my case it smells more or less synthetic, depending on how my skin is on it. I definitely think the scent is underrated.
