7 Cobalt is described here, among other things, as a very masculine Busiessduft, for which it could almost be a reference. Although the fragrance does not meet my taste (blame the dominant synthetic-mineral notes), it is really well done and looks extremely professional.

Top notes include a dry, bitter currant and tart, acidic sage. This makes the fragrance fresh and exudes a certain austere coldness that becomes characteristic. Fruity pink pepper combined with subtle vetiver brings in a pleasant spiciness. The fragrance is underpinned by tame incense that blends in nicely with restraint. Until then, the scent is pleasing and shower-bath-like. I'm still bothered here the typical citrus synthetic.

Thereupon, a cool metallic graphite note forms, which is very enhancing with a subtle clove spice. This all seems well thought out and well implemented.

Personally, I lack nice notes, although a harmony is definitely created. The metallic-cold fragrance overwhelms me a little. As a perfect business fragrance I see 7 Cobalt but also.

The way this fragrance unfolds while remaining true to its character is remarkable. Quite quickly, a beautiful fragrance structure is constructed here, which you can enjoy quite carefree. I don't perceive anything of extreme-animalic or even unpleasant notes. On the other hand, Oud Ispahan is for me a soft and sensual autumn fragrance, on which it is worth getting involved.

The prelude is soothingly balsamic and medicinal. A natural chord of palatable rose and ethereal wood makes you think of forest-warm healing earth. Underpinned by dull, dusty patchouli, a strong, rainy forest atmosphere is created. However, this remains floral-clean, not to say soapy. A touch of creamy almond also resonates.
Then firewood-dry, soft oud stands out, contrasting with a sweet, pungent resin note. This results in a beautiful, albeit very subtle animalic.
A particularly pleasant, smoky honey-leather note determines the base of the fragrance.

Discreetly flavored black tea steeps in a preheated porcelain pot and exudes a warm, intense fragrance. The aroma is tart lemon and dry sultry flowers, especially magnolia. There is nothing fresh or light about it. Rather, it hints at the character of a dried, brittle tea leaf blend. Thus, in my opinion, the fragrance has a pleasantly rich heaviness that is coherent with its name.

Primarily responsible for the cozy black tea steam, however, is the woody musk. This works from the beginning noble and at the same time musty in a sensual base of sandalwood and cinnamon powder. Later still a slightly smoky-ozonige note plays in, which I attribute to the ambergris.

Dark Delight is a heavy, warm black tea scent and as such probably a reference. Although nothing really bothers me about this fragrance, I would rather not wear it for reasons of taste.

This really is like coming home! Lukewarm rooibus tea exudes a sweet-floral bouquet, accompanied by gentle bergamot. Here succeeds quite at the beginning of the great brewing effect, which could already surprise me with "My Cup of Tea - Early Morning | Brocard / Брокард". The tea in this case becomes strong and intense, the aromas unfold much better than in that fragrance. The heart note even seems to become stronger and especially sweeter in the course of the fragrance.

Over the tart tea now lays a palatable fruit. I perceive particularly differentiated ripe peach and currant. With sweet cinnamon, the fragrance is dry-sifted and does not even seem overly synthetic. A warm, floral powderiness enhances it. But unfortunately the (very pronounced) tasty sweetness overtaxes me.
In the finish, the fruit flower takes on almost cherry notes and sugary vanilla with a touch of tonka define the base.

The tea illustration is actually well done with My Cup of Tea - Sweet Home. Only the sweetness and the uninteresting heart note distract from the qualities of this fragrance

The top note indicates a light-biting fruit tea. A mixture of orange, lemon and rosehip refreshes and invigorates, while green tea leaves remain only dry hints. Pungent ginger is responsible for the character of the already light fragrance. This manages with difficulty to hold the volatile aromas and to suggest an actual tea concept.

The fruit is then joined by strong berries and friendly flowers (I can detect peach notes), blurring everything into unrecognizability fairly quickly. In this way, the effect of tea infusion is copied amazingly well. Unfortunately, probably with a little too hot water, since the beautiful tea aromas escape frightened...
