I can only confirm the general impression that this fragrance smells strongly feminine and should be rather difficult to wear for men!

Flacon and packaging look, as with most fragrances of this series, very noble. For me, the Musk Sultan smells strongly floral, clean, virtually freshly washed. The scent, in my opinion, is very similar to those Penaten face creams, just with an emphasis on jasmine or tuberose (some white-flower; not so mine, so bear with me for not being able to say for sure which one). But the cosmetic/cream character is clearly dominant. But in a very soft, elegant and smooth way. Really nestles the nose, like silk to the skin.

Worth the price all the time, but recommendation clearly for the women. This is no longer a men's fragrance

This or at least a similar thought suggests itself, if one takes the presentation of the perfume to mind. Flacon with blue / black sticker and the name Leviathan - the monster of the seas. Should be a refreshing, possibly even aquatic fragrance, right?
Short look at the fragrance pyramid - well, probably not. Only the more curious, how because Leviathan as a name fits in there. Lid off, sprayed on.

In my opinion, this perfume should not be called Leviathan - Behemoth is probably the DEUTHLY more appropriate name. Because this perfume, God forbid, smells like the primordial beast of the land and earth: resinous and woody, smoky, leathery and earthy. It's a stampede of animalic masculine scents to my nose. This one is really brutal and definitely not for the faint of heart. It slays everything olfactory that crawls and flies. Because even its sillage attacks with waving flags. This one is heavy, really heavy. But at the same time spicy and sharp. The coffee is very subtle for my nose, but I can literally feel the musk. I have never smelled such a monster, such a beast, such a beast of perfume.

For my taste too strong and intense, for lovers of animal scents with wood, resin, leather impact a found food. Like capsized sailors for the Leviathan...pardon, the Behemoth.

Spurred on by his brother, I ordered this Pardum. I do not mean Remus, but "Venezia" from the house Acqua di Parisis. The house has already thrilled me several times with good fragrances and I could get my fingers on a bottle. Which is a bit more difficult with its brothers, since the production was stopped? At least it looks that way to me. Nevertheless, the Roma times just invited to me on the couch to the football evening.

Based on the fragrance pyramid, I could already think that this one would be a pretty fresh fragrance. And the first associations that come to mind immediately after spraying are lemon ice cream or lemonade on a hot summer day. The scent smells really thirst quenching and refreshing. I would suggest it has similarities to Jimmy Choo Man Ice, but without the strong minty impact. Just the tangy, fresh lemonade.

The one smells, however, only at the beginning, because on the skin itself strikes clearly the mandarin / orange through and also keeps the upper hand. All in all pleasant, one feels refreshed.
However: so that this fragrance is perceived in one, you would probably have to let a bathtub full. Already a few minutes after spraying, even with stronger application, the scent already evaporates. You can really only detect it as a whiff, even skin deep, which I think is a shame. Like a ghost he shines through, but you do not really know if he is still there. I don't want to talk about sillage here, it's not there. As for the durability, I'm a little undecided, because you can still sense the perfume even after a few hours, even if it really exists only as a breath. However, a long shelf life is generally something else. From heart and base notes I must confess quite honestly, I smell nothing, maybe a faint green note of vetiver. But only with a lot of imagination.

In football you would say: "The pass was well thought Francesco, but next time please hit the ball!" For me now no bad buy per se, but the performance is already very underground. Unfortunately!

Then but rather Milan, Venice or Paris!

When I hear Silver Essence, I associate it with a kind of light, bright and cool silver thread floating through the dark, heavy room!
At least, that's how I would describe how I visually imagined the name. And this imagination, after testing the perfume, has also burned itself into my head! Because to my mind, this perfume smells exactly like its name. But in turn.

As for the bottle, I can the review of Hendrik20 only right; comes high quality and simple therefore. No frippery, but classically stylish. The spray head is good, you can not complain.

Also what concerns the durability, can not be grumbled. Although the fragrance is a "typical Tonka-Drydown-Brei" towards the end, but from about 8 hours of life can but a "The One" eg only dream! So definitely a plus point, besides the not too high price of course.

The sillage is not necessarily room-filling, but still quite decent. And the sillage is, in my opinion, the strength of Silver Essence: He smells directly on the skin for my concepts namely different than in the environment: The fragrance cloud is for me a light, floral-fruity sweetness marked by lavender and a slightly more pointed note (ginger or violet according to the indication above? Not sure!?) to which after some time discreetly joins the rose. Cardamom also peeps by from time to time.
The sillage is not intrusive, not heavy, but simply fresh, invigorating, slightly playful and yet not a bit feminine.
If you go a little closer or wait until the heart note shows itself, then the somewhat "heavier", spicy-earthy, tart notes come through. Dominant here are tonka and the earthy-woody note, which I can not exactly assign. Not bad by any means, but already familiar from other perfumes. A really strong contrast to the airy lightness of the top note! The perfume therefore seems to me a little "schizophrenic" if you will: a light, bright silver thread floating through the dark heavy space.

I for one, perceive the light and the heavy notes "separately" or "side by side" so to speak, and find that because of this, it's not quite as round a thing as it could possibly be. Therefore, he will unfortunately find in the long run no place in my collection.
Did I regret it to have bought him! But not at all! The top note and sillage are fantastic and definitely worth a try!
And maybe others do not see the schizophrenia of this fragrance so closely and have desire to dip their currently dark environment (year 1 after Corona) in a bright silver!

Bad pun aside: The da has what on the box.
Already some time on the market, various flankers left and right. I would like to call him already a classic, even if he can probably not hold a candle to the Cool Water (no more puns, I promise).

Flacon comes along handsomely, the cap has the typical ripple pattern. However, the cap does not sit well throughout, so rather grab at the bottle. Spray head is ok. All in all, you can see him that he "comes from another time".
Quite different the fragrance:
A not-so-typical, fresh-aquatic fragrance that absolutely does not smell outdated or out of fashion. In the top note I guess aquatic notes, some ginger and trace bergamot, although the two notes are really VERY covered. The rest I can't sniff out more precisely with my still somewhat inexperienced nose. What does stand out, though, is a (as the name suggests) metallic note that also seems a bit synthetic and cool. It doesn't come across as distinctly citrusy, soapy or powdery. When I first tested Chrome, it immediately occurred to me that Chrome's opening smells like a subtle rainbow. A metallic rainbow...? Non-ferrous metal? Whatever. I had to have it immediately, even though I'm not usually so easily seduced by top notes. I didn't regret it. For my perception Chrome consists especially in the top note of so many different notes that complement each other perfectly.
The EDT then slowly fades in a slightly less fresh musk breath, which lags a little behind the fragrance from the top note in my opinion. The durability is not breathtaking (with me about 4 - 5 hours), Sillage also not too massive.

Chrome is not unique, but still different from most Aquaten and definitely worth a test.
My love for the Chrome of Azzaro is still unbroken, although the enthusiasm has decreased somewhat, since there are other Aquaten, which "can a little longer".

My conclusion: Not without reason a classic, certain recognition value with wonderful top note. For all those who like to smell a little metallic. Or after discreet rainbow ;)
