I was made aware of Panama Sport during a fragrance consultation. Although I liked it quite well, I wasn't 100% convinced then - my nose was already a bit tired - and decided against buying it for the time being.
However, the consultant was so much of the opinion that the fragrance would fit me really great and so enthusiastic that he didn't get out of my head for the next months and I just had to test him again, "something must be there after all" I thought.
And indeed, (similar to my previous speaker) during the second test - this time with my nose free - I was suddenly totally taken with it. My first thought was: "This is a hammer companion for everyday life". The aquatic touch and the orange note that I perceive make it wearable in the summer and by the beautiful unobtrusive spice by the cinnamon and the heliotrope it makes also in colder seasons a good figure. At work he is discreet enough not to disturb but still so present that I smell the eight hours over fine. And although I don't really care about this aspect, because I wear a fragrance for myself and not for others, I haven't yet received as many compliments for a fragrance as I have for Panama Sport.
In my collection I never want to have more than 7 fragrances at the same time, so it always takes forever until I decide on a fragrance. He has to create pictures, please me, differ from the others in the collection, blabla, all that stuff just... The creation of Boellis 1924 made it and I am really happy with it :)

I simply tested Original Vetiver out of interest, because I found the composition exciting. Creed fragrances don't appeal to me personally so far, but well, with such a well-known label the curiosity is of course still big.
And I have to say, I really liked this fragrance, especially the top note! I don't know how this comes about, because there are no ingredients directly in it, but the smell that rises freshly after applying it to me reminds me of the freshly made apple-carrot juice that sometimes existed in my childhood and that totally excited me!
After about 20 minutes, the fragrance becomes a little soapier for my nose, which I personally don't like very much, but which I think makes it perfect for the working environment. Also the fact that it is rather unobtrusive and the projection doesn't reach that far (about one arm length for 1 1/2 hours) makes it perfect for situations where you want to smell good but don't want to attract attention.
After 1 1/2 - 2 hours it is only perceptible from a short distance, but lingers there pleasantly woody for about 6-8 hours and just smells good!
So altogether I think I would not buy a whole bottle because of the soapiness (it's just not mine), but the trial filling is still enough for 3-4 times in which I will carry out the scent with pleasure :)

First of all, I don't want to write a review here and this comment is only my wharning (as always with ratings based on tastes :)
Immediately after spraying on, I found Molecule 01 rather discreet and not particularly interesting, slightly woody, a bit smoky and slightly powdery. Somehow these impressions have not really ignited with me and just the powdery has kept my enthusiasm within limits.
However, I find the concept of the fragrance exciting to use Iso-Gamma-Super as the only fragrance, quasi the distillate of the distillate, for curious people like me this had to be tested!

But now to the reason for my very low rating. When I was a child, I had to get a can of gasoline from the shed for my grandfather, and I liked the smell of gasoline (at least from a distance) very much. So in my childlike recklessness I opened the cap of the canister and took a full nose... Big mistake as it turned out, because from close up it smells really different (not to say crappy) and the worst thing was, it has caused a really unpleasant feeling in the nose and throat, that I have not forgotten until today, a kind of numbness behind the throat that really hurt - if a numbness can hurt at least :D
After about two hours of Molecule 01 on the skin, which had already warmed up a bit and allowed the scent to become more intense, it came to me like a slap in the face. Exactly this absolutely unpleasant feeling and the memory of this moment was triggered and suddenly I was really sick of the scent. So don't misunderstand, Molecule 01 doesn't smell like gasoline for me and this - I call it - aching numbness is not as intense as it used to be, but every time I smell it this picture unfortunately comes up to me... Fragrances have real power!

But now to something positive, the shelf life is quite good, even after 6-8 hours I could still perceive the scent well, if I approached my wrist carefully. The molecule was still quite present on the shirt sleeve even the next day (which is why the shirt then migrated to the washing machine). So qualitatively this fragrance is in any case of high quality... even if you probably can't do much wrong mixing a single fragrance with alcohol :D
In any case, I am happy to have tested the fragrance and can recommend it to anyone who would like to get a picture of Molecule 01. Because if a scent has the ability to be perceived really blatantly differently, then this one!

Ne... really not! Not only do I find the flacon of the fragrance ridiculous, I also simply don't like the fragrance at all.
But Invictus has one advantage for me personally: I bought it because I hadn't worn a perfume for a long time, and I wanted to have a fragrance again.
At that time I had no experience at all and after a short consultation I thought to myself in a perfumery shop: "Yes, nobody has to see the flacon, it's in the living room chest of drawers anyway". But applied for the second time (this time at home and not in the shop), I was really taken aback by this very chemically sweet smell, which is supposed to be fresh but doesn't make it because of the crass sweetness and the artificial note. I felt like a twelve-year-old who absolutely must stand out...
Anyway, after this purchase I started to get more excited about fragrances than I thought and so I slipped deeper into the matter.
So thanks for Invictus, but I won't carry you anyway :D

The second time I test this fragrance now, but also the second time I feel Rain as super artificial and can absolutely no mental connection to rain make.
Maybe for a shower at the most, I had a shower gel as a teenager that had olfactory resemblance to Rain (but that's not meant as a plus here). Somehow I feel sticky and have the feeling that I only smell chemically sweet when I wear the scent. I wouldn't say that the fragrance is bad, but for me it's absolutely nothing, and it stays relatively the same all the time
