Too thin
The only good thing about the fragrance is the top note. This one's sweet and fresh. But bergamot is not very perceptible. The top note, however, dries up relatively quickly and then changes into a relatively thin heart note, which soon bids farewell to an even thinner base. In my opinion, the main components of heart and base are neither coffee nor leather, but rather a slightly sweet, gourmand chocolate undertone. This is by no means unpleasant or bad, but far too little perceptible. Silage and shelf life are almost non-existent, almost below average. After 3 hours you can only perceive the full chocolate undertone up close
Shame
Top note: 8
Heart note: 6
Base note: 5
Flacon: who likes the Protzkristallklunker ... It's too bulky for me.

Cheap? Hey, that's what it's all about!
I am easily Givenchy-affin, but this is really n bad joke.
My first association: I see a gang of girls in the tram (all about 15, highly pubertal, silly and cheaply made up), and in the tram it smells obtrusively like cheap drugstore water.
This is probably more of a cheap women's fragrance, with a slightly slutty tenfence. What man shall wear this fragrance?
Top note:
The fragrance is adulterated and smells synthetic like from the chemistry set. He smells like everything but lemon, gardenia or bargamot. It scratches and causes a feeling of mild heartburn.
It may be fresh. But that's not enough.
I am gracious: 5 points
Heart note:
Chocolate? What kind of chocolate? Brandy bean maybe, something with alcohol. Rose? I perceive Rose. But somehow excessively intensified. He's still scratching.
just so 5 points
Base note:
The base note is the best because it is the weakest. You don't have to put up with so much silage anymore. The scratchy feeling doesn't go away. Synthetic sandalwood is present, musk actually not.
Durability: Average, normal
Silage: unfortunately too strong, you have it constantly in your nose, unpleasant and scratchy in your throat
Flacon: plastic cup, fits to cheap.
So I don't want to smell this scent on myself or on a beautiful woman. It is a cheap synthetic mixture of which Givenchy cannot be proud - a slip. Maybe FFWD and RWD are better (that shouldn't be difficult)...

Summer meadow at the edge of the forest
I'm an ISENSÉ ULTRAMARINE fan.
As far as the ISENSÉ is concerned, I always wanted to test it, because it gets super grades throughout. But getting it is a bit like getting a 6 in the lottery. Even in relevant online auction markets it is a rarity and - if ever offered - changes its owner for expensive money. I recently shot 50 ml EdT for 70.00 euros. That's what I call good deal!
Whether there are differences between relaunch and vintage, I cannot judge. The vintage scent is almost impossible to get anymore.
Well, the fragrance is unique, not from this world and was apparently created for something special. It stands out from all the Douglas standard fuel EXTREM. You'd think it was literally created a quarter of a century ago. Because he has absolutely nothing of the flanker mainstream and the hyped everyday and advertising fragrances a´la Sauvage, Acqua di Giò, BOSS Bottled. JOOP! Jump and what they're all called... May they also have a right to exist (at least Sauvage) but, Fragrances for the Masses are not for me.
INSENSÉ:
...seems to me supernatural, sensual, dreamy.
He's so unisex to me. Because he is so feminine that women could wear him well, even should. If I smelled him on a woman (which is as likely as a 6 in the lottery) I'd go after her - I think. I'm going to try it out on my own tonight...
...result is comming soon!
The woman,
who wears ISENSÉ, is between 30 and 40, bright (e.g. blond), youthful type, playful, sensual, childish (Lolita) and jumps like a little girl in summer through a field with meadow flowers. She drives FIAT 500 or Mini and has a dog.
The man,
who wears ISENSÉ, is around 40, sporty, individualist, gentleman, funny, charming, gourmet, bon vivant and definitely doesn't drive a VW Passat.
Top note:
Fresh floral and intense, a hint of citrus fruit. Bang: Mandarin! I'll say. But it's not sweet enough for mandarins. Peng Black Johanna! Yeah, tangerine mixed with blackcurrant do it pretty well. Basil? Maybe he was wrong in the test tube. I don't notice any basil at all.
What a top note: 10 points
Heart note:
I can't smell anything of my magnolia at the moment (winter), I pick it up in summer and have a look. I don't have magnolia in my nose right now either, so I don't know. But what is mastic shrub, please? Google: Wild pistachio, aha. Yeah, it could be - I don't know. I'm overwhelmed! Iris and lily of the valley are right - after all, they are meadow flowers. I guess the heart note is Givenchy's secret. Let's just agree on
Wonderful summer flower meadow.
What a heart note: 10 points:
Base note:
Indeed, there is something spicy in this sea of flowers. The closer you get to the base, the spicier it becomes - you walk out of the field into the coniferous forest. Tannenbalsam, I would never have thought of that, but yes - it could be. With the base comes seasoning and a little (fir) wood. He keeps his sensual character nevertheless or perhaps just because of it.
Basis: 9 points
Shelf life: all day long, above average and clearly perceptible to the end - a fragrance that won't tip over!
Silage: discreetly perceptible, reserved, diplomatic, charming and yet present. In the base only very close - perfect
Flacon: sh... no matter, the relaunch flacon is quite good, lies well in the hand (100 ml even better al 50 ml, I know it from UM), the war´s. It's just from the '90s. Guites mean halt.
Conclusion:
Isensé, you are my goddess! Thank you Givenchy for this masterpiece and shame on you that you set it.

Freshness kick with rosemary
I smelled this Dior sometime at my buddy hen on a birthday of a friend and thought I was crazy. After he told me what scent he was wearing, I went straight to the perfumery and straight to the Dior shelf and up on my wrists:
Top note:
Well, the top note is intensely fresh and I do indeed smell BIRNE and - of course - ZITRUS. It's just wonderfully fresh, as if a pinch of summer air was swept around your nose.
Well, I'd say an 8 for the top note.
Heart note:
But now, and this is what makes this fragrance - at least on my skin and in my nose -
the heart note. She's the absolute madness. I guess it's ROSMARIN. The silage regularly does not let a breath of a certain ingredient rise into my nose, which has an almost aphrodisiac effect on me.
Same kick gives me e.g. Chanels Egoiste Platinum - and see there, it has rosemary intus.
The initial bombastic fruit kick of the top note gradually disappears and is preserved by harsher and more masculine essences á la musk. This makes the fruit more durable and masculine - but still stays fresh.
The heart note gets a 10.0.
Base:
The base note is the most difficult hurdle a good perfume has to overcome.
While 50% of all fragrances tested by me can only be experienced up close in the base and many of them leave an indefinable, often even inedible odour cocktail behind, DIORS HIGHER also remains stable in the base and only changes discreetly. The MOSCHUS virtually preserves the fruits and spices and holds this wonderful scent cocktail until the very end - when it can only be perceived up close. Chapeau!
Base note: 9,0
Total power: 9 points
Shelf life:
I smell after six hours still a well structured and clearly perceptible base - 7 points.
Silage:
The ROSMARIN surrounds you discreetly and yet perceptibly. Wonderful, 7,5 points
Flacon:
Well, it doesn't really matter. I'm not wearing him to show off. The bottle is not unsightly. However, there are far more beautiful ones that could also be seen as small pieces of jewellery or mini furniture. HIGHER does not belong to them - 4.5 points.
Conclusion:
A fresh, reserved summer fragrance for young, sporty men with not too much testosterone, who have a certain inclination to be different.
It is fitting that it should be a niche fragrance that displays a certain degree of individuality and is not available everywhere. First of all he was (in my opinion) a little spoiled with HIGHER ENERGY, which can be found more often in the assortment.
