And even Mary said, "Whew."
Oh, yeah, Chanel.

With Chanel overall, I have a certain love-hate relationship, because I experimented quite early with these fragrances around and my nose at the beginning not too much or nothing with them could begin.

Nevertheless, I decided in 2014-15 to get me the first Chanel, because the Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême was touted on the Internet as an absolute beast.
After a few Testereien, I have decided to strike even if the price at times of study and all other financial torment hurt me quite.

Each person and certainly the beloved Parfumo community has different connections to fragrances. With the one it is finest nuances which can be filtered out and described hair-exactly, with the other it is emotions and memories which they connect with a smell.
I belong at least at the moment still to the second group.
The top notes I can now describe quite well but with the rest I'm still struggling.

And so it is with Eau Extrême the memory that makes me mentally smile and a little nostalgic.

Back then as a student, in the 4er Wg in the midst of exam stress and bachelor thesis at the end of the summer semester.

Knock, knock on the room door.

Dark brown long hair fell through the open crack of the door.

"Hi Michi, we're going out tonight and would like to go into town and see what comes up as we go along. We would take the train around 10 -
Are you in???"

My recently moved-in roommate, Maria, was always the one leading the charge on going out back then and taking the initiative.
She wasn't a gal who had actionism written all over her forehead, which is what a lot of guys and gals in their early 20s are guilty of.
Rather, she went out when she was on fire and up for it and then but with passion until the bitter dawn.

And so I grudgingly agreed, despite time constraints and a flat noggin.

If my roommate Paul had asked me, who was a cool sock, I probably would have given him a soggy refusal, but I think you get what I'm saying.

And so I jumped in the shower and got ready as quickly as possible, with the hope of bringing fresh new mental wind into my head.
Eau Extrême I had bought only weeks before and it was therefore obvious that he came to use.

The opening with the fresh mint and mandarin flasht me today just as then.

She often hung close to my ear that evening and I'm pretty sure by now that she liked the scent incredibly but, as so often, out of caution and also because it wasn't her style to hand out inflationary compliments, you'd rather not say anything.

This fragrance is in some way casual, fresh, sexy and masculine.
You don't smell powdered like you do with some fragrances for going out.
Eau Extrême smells confidently fresh and slightly sweet without drifting into the exclusively creamy or too sweet.
Even in the early morning, I got a wonderful fragrance cloud off my shirt despite the alcohol smell.
The drydown on the clothes is my favorite to this day.

Both of us were in the early days of mutual respect for each other often noticeable and somehow I subtly always had the impression that you stand on each other. That's just how it is between a man and a woman. He who does not dare, does not win.

Maybe it's the same with perfume.

In the summer of 2017, she moved to Bavaria for her boyfriend.

What stuck in my mind the most was when she was cleaning out her bathroom closet and I was helping her pack and clean up a bit and she kept asking me questions about taking her room and then suddenly said:

"Whew, it smells good in here"

Mentally I just replied:

"Eau Extrême I love you"

The woman who went through everyday life always wearing an invisible crown without seeming arrogant was gone, but Eau Extrême remained.

Sleep in on Sunday and then Platinum Égoïste
Just recently I caught myself in such a moment that made me appreciate the Platinum Egoïste, like this one Sunday when I slept in late and first trotted sleepily into the bathroom.

The look in the mirror was borderline, as my crumpled face with all the pillow marks looked as if I had once again turned with friends at the nightly big wheel, although I stayed at home artfully due to pandemic.

The water temperature at the tap first of all turned to cold to counteract the monstrosity and the face wrinkles properly durchzuschruben.
Normally I shave myself wet with razor only weekdays during the week, because the employer on a well-groomed appearance value. Since the pandemic, only the contours from the ten-day beard to maintain.

So neat shaving foam on it on neck and neck and with acoustic Mukke of Damien Rice, David Gray from the Bose Bluetooth box come fitting finest vibes for the Sunday.
The whole thing rinse with water and while I with the towel the remaining foam from all
Openings wiped, laughed at me the Platinum Egoïste in my collection.
Splash on the wrist, neck, neck and shirt with simultaneous explosion of freshness.
This lavender and rosemary, which immediately shoots into the nose, is so refreshing that it immediately transports your body feeling in another league.
To date, I have not found a fragrance that gives one this enormous fresh masculine body feeling in such a natural way, which makes me appear so confident that I have to think long, which fragrance would be capable of similar.

Me this fragrance also always reminds me of my childhood, when my father has always unpacked the roof brush for the weekend before breakfast, swung the Gilette blades and then cycled to the bakery around the corner. On his lap it smelled always only in such a way after classical aftershave, which underpinned for me its self-confident kind always. I suspect times, that that aftershave also had lavender and fresh fragrance notes inne.

What makes Platinum Egoïste for me not the daddy fragrance. It is a fragrance that anyone can wear, who confidently goes through the day and also has a certain "masculine" self-confident appearance. The course I perceive at the beginning for about 1 hour was very fresh, then it becomes more and more floral and "softer" on my skin.
The intensity of the top note I would like to have even longer in the nose, because this distinguishes the fragrance for me.

Overall, I would classify him already so tendentially as Ü30 fragrance but for one or the other with security already earlier portable.

The durability and sillage are neat at about 6h, however, I have the impression that this earlier even stronger and more radiated.

In conclusion, I must say that this fragrance accompanies me very solid and confident through the day. When I wear this fragrance, I have the Chanel vibe. You put another one on top without screaming around.
The fragrance does not do somersaults but it also does not do somersaults, for which I love him.

So, this was my second comment on Parfumo and hopefully I could help undecided.

Have a nice Sunday together !

My first perfume love !!!
My first review on Parfumo and I thought it was fitting to dedicate this one to my first beloved perfume as well.

Back in December 2016, when I was looking for a perfume in the drugstore, naive as I was at the time, to finally be equipped with a decent fragrance again.
My collection was at that time at zero and I never thought at the time that this fragrance opens the door to the fragrance world for me.
When I tested it on the strip, it smelled directly different from all the other fragrances in the opening. It stood out in a way that made me quite curious and even addicted after a while.
At home on the sofa I hung permanently on the test strip and could only partially follow the TV program.
It was this pepper and the slightly creamy what fascinated me. I had never smelled such a balanced fragrance before.
I love fragrances that radiate "understatement" but still represent a certain unique selling point. Striking but somehow also not. Seductive but somehow also not too much. Serious but somehow also not too strict. Modest but somehow never boring.

Meanwhile, there are almost 20 fragrances in my assortment but never have I received so many compliments as for this fragrance. Vorallem the ladies love him!!!
Why he was discontinued is a mystery to me.
The fragrance is the greatest all-purpose weapon I have ever owned.

I associate many positive memories with Strictly when I wear it, whether going out with friends, at work or walking with the family.

He has always been a loyal companion!

I will continue to be sparing with you my love :-)
