Dirty foot chases the phantom
Welcome, Agent Dirt Foot!
Glad you could make it to our secret command center. Let's get straight to the point: we have a job for you!
Your task: Find out more about "Oversized" from Création Lamis
If you fail, you can't write a report on parfumo and you & all other Duftaholics will have to die stupidly!
But if you manage to master this task, you will be showered with trophies and positive comments on parfumo and will be scooped up with insane praise ( or is it "scooped up"? ).
May you do well!
Order accepted and first of all a basic picture created:
On parfumo itself there is no further information about this fragrance: Neither the date of release, nor the meaning of the name ("oversize" - but you can still do that with normal school English knowledge.) and also no information about the fragrance pyramid.
Therefore, the simplest and most sensible thing to do is to activate colleague Google and enter "Oversized by Création Lamis" as a search term.
72.900 hits, there must be something there and some information to grab.
After 15 minutes of searching then the total disillusionment - nothing further, no details, no clever background to the fragrance - Nix, Nada, Njente! That can't be! What do I do now? Perplexity spreads, then the saving idea: Include foreign language pages in the search and really: Tadaaaaa! After fighting your way through Czech and Polish sites and not really getting any smarter, you end up on a site that has at least some rare information ready:
"Sensual and impulsive spicy aroma for a man: open and gentle, seductive, attractive and elegant. Main notes: Bergamot, tangerine, cedar, geranium, rosewood, sage. Background notes of nutmeg, ambergris and sandalwood."
This is the google translation of a strangely designed Russian perfume site. But the site doesn't give more information, so Agent Schmutzfuss has to tell the virtually assembled fragrance community out there his personal impressions of Oversized:
The fragrance opens fresh and fruity with light floral scents in the background. It is really pleasant in the first approach and the combination is very pleasing. If you give the fragrance some time, it will resonate more and more with something woody and herbaceous without being too dominant or disturbing. This woody-herbal underpins the fruity initial scent very well and rounds off the positive overall impression I got from Oversized. Unfortunately I only have to nag a little about the durability of the fragrance.
I have worn the fragrance 3 times so far and each time I stopped perceiving it after three or three and a half hours. There is still air up here!
The fragrance is a good everyday companion (don't forget to re-spray!) and delivers a decent performance overall. I got it for free as an addition to another scent auction. "And a gift horse" etc...but you know that.
I am very happy with this free gift and will certainly use it again one or two times. It is not for parties, anniversaries or other highights, but there are other, more noble fragrances in my cupboard
I hope that I could nevertheless provide you with some information about the unknown phantom scent and I would be happy if you now let it rain trophies. :-)

Out high and still on the ground.
I shot something really good on ebay for really little money!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but as a nostalgic scent lover and due to the manageable financial risk I bid on ALTO (OVP and unopened!). And finally, I won the bid and was looking forward to my parcel.
Here at parfumo there has been no comment yet, so I have the honour to be the first to make a comment:
Even though ALTO translates from Italian as "high", the name does not do justice to the fragrance at all. The fragrance does not fly high, it is rather down-to-earth.
Alto is again a representative of the classical school: quite simply structured and therefore also very straightforward in its orientation. Some different fruit nuances can be sniffed right at the beginning and the beginning is also generally rather fresh. But after some time it's back: the classic men's fragrance of the 80s.
I would call the fragrance brittle-woody, but still it is pleasantly "unscratchy". According to the pyramid of scents, it must be the amber.
The shelf life of 6-7 hours is also acceptable. Of course, I would have liked a little bit more stamina, at least for the length of a working day. But in the end it's still bearable.
ALTO was created in the late 90s. But I think that as a tribute to the classics of the
70s and 80s. At least I would classify him without a doubt into these decades in terms of fragrance.
My Holde usually does not like these old-fashioned fragrances at all, she also finds most of them absolutely unbearable. But here she actually asked me what I would wear on my skin. And since her goodwill towards my classic fragrances (e.g. denim, brood) has a total rarity value, ALTO of course gets a place of honour in my already totally overloaded fragrance cabinet
Conclusion: ALTO gives me a great feeling and finally lives up to its name.

A different kind of silver wedding
Congratulations! Le Mâle and I are celebrating a round anniversary this year: 25 years of mutual contempt.
I don't know what the reason is, but Le Mâle is one of the few fragrances that I feel a heartfelt and profound aversion to.
Shortly after his appearance, many people were already turning the wheel and Le Mâle was suddenly the "hot shit" par excellence. No matter where you met on the weekend, the majority of the guys smelled like the sailor.
I estimate that about 90% of my male friends called Le Mâle their own. I was not one of them
I had the opportunity to sniff his newly acquired Le Mâle bottle at a buddy's place and to treat myself to a discreet spray on my wrist. The smell annoyed me right from the start, even 5 minutes later it didn't get better and even less 2 hours later. I could not understand all the hype and fuss about the striped man. The minty scent and the other nuances that were too sweaty for me were not my world. Of course, the scent then became more distinctive and deeper. But still Le Mâle was simply a meaningless disappointment for me. Azzaro was more my thing and the fragrance was also very popular with many other people
While I found Azzaro to be a really masculine scent at the time, Le Mâle was simply more of a blender scent for me. He wanted to be more masculine than he was. He was more of a skinny sailor than a real sea dog
He wanted to shine with variety, but then he was simply overloaded with various scents.
But I also think that Le Mâle didn't appeal to me because the advertisement with the sailor didn't appeal to me at all and was rather annoying. In addition, my antipathy towards the perfume was probably also due to Jean Paul Gautier himself, whom I - for whatever reason - found totally unappealing and silly. His attitude was always a bit too gay for me. (And I have to emphasize it for safety's sake: I have nothing against gays!)
Maybe that's why I do Le Mâle a little too much wrong. Maybe I'm just the one who's wrong and who simply can't or won't understand the French sea lover.
Nevertheless: Even after 25 years, my leniency in old age is still limited. I was able to get a taste of Le Mâle just under a year ago and I still think: Vive la déception!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Retro Man!
My name is Retro-Man and my superpower is to sniff the scents of the past
And with this thing from Aigner, I'm fully in receive mode! You have to like this soapy-clean old-ladies-sequence ( wood, moss, musk ), otherwise you will find this combination just terrible. There will not be a middle thing: Hate me or love me! Penetrance is the powerful opponent of decency. And this opponent is overpowering.
I tie up my superhero cape, put on my hero mask and proudly raise both my thumbs: Aigner, I like you!

A Kölsch for Guido!!! - It's on me!
What did I love the fragrance and how much I would love to call it my own again! But on the auction portals there are mostly only greedy cutthroats and shady rabble :-(
I had my first contact with fragrance only at the beginning of the 00s. In order to earn some money on the side, I waited or was the "Zappes" behind the counter of a restaurant/bar/pub of a good friend. The job was fun, one earned good tips and the guests were also nice and friendly to 99%. At that time I wasn't as addicted to scents as I am today, ( unfortunately or thank God?) but one of the most striking memories is the smell of one of our regulars. Guido showed up every weekend with his wife and a couple of friends and they always occupied one of the tables near the counter. So he was in my "responsible district". Guido was a well-groomed, typical Cologne moustache in his late thirties and always dressed in summer with a polo shirt (only real with the rider on it) and Chino-Bermuda as well as sailing shoes. Besides, this group of guests was always very nice, uncomplicated and humorous.
One day - when Guido & Co were our guests again - I went to the bar table to take the order. Immediately I noticed a wonderful scent, which I had never smelled before. When I asked who or what smells so great here, Guido grinned meaningfully. "Photo" of Lagerfeld was apparently what I would smell. Unasked I sniffed at his neck, the group giggled and I was blown away!
I quickly noted the name of the fragrance on the beer mat and put it in my pocket
Thus, over time, a certain ritual developed when Guido stopped by for a Kölsch. I sniffed (with pleasure also acting-exaggerated) at his neck and turned the eyes. And Guido I usually never disappointed, because he usually always wore the scent at that time.
So it went on for a few weeks and at some point Guido came to me at the bar some evening when he was a guest again. He handed me an almost 1/3 full bottle of Photo and grinned. He had bought this bottle some time ago, but now he had "smelled it tired". He knew how much I would like the scent and would like to give me the rest. With me he would know that I would appreciate the gift as well. Man, was I happy! I thanked Guido in the proper way by not having to pay quite a lot of Kölsch that evening... Me neither, I was standing right at the source
Oh, crap, I should write something about that scent. I almost forgot, sorry!
As far as I'm concerned, there's musk and moss in there. That's almost always enough for me to like a fragrance like that. I can be easily manipulated if the mixture between the two fragrance components is right.
However, the start is not typically masculine, but rather pleasantly fruity and fresh. But after a while it develops a really distinctive dynamic: masculine, spicy, woody. And yet it doesn't lose its freshness and fruitiness, which disappears easily, but is still noticeable. A terrific combination, which I haven't smelled anywhere else for a long time.
When writing, I really start to rave about the "good old days" and I give Guido a Kölsch beer and say "Thank you very much!"
