YKem

Before I left the house today to do things, I wanted to do myself a favor and sprayed some on my t-shirt. The prelude is spicy, sweet and fresh at the same time.
The notes I perceived most strongly:
Bergamot, cinnamon, tobacco and surprisingly for the first time vetiver (what I thought was thyme)
All in all a great fragrance, in a beautiful and humorous bottle.
I would like to add something to my experience with this fragrance.
I have been on Parfumo for about 3 years and have been using fragrances for quite some time.
I can't remember receiving several compliments from strangers on one of my perfumes in just one day (like today).
In this respect, Spicebomb has really hit people like a grenade of fine and aromatic oils.

And I'd like to say to newcomers. This incident shows once again that unknown designer fragrances cannot have a disturbing - on the contrary, even pleasant - effect on the people around the wearer (even spicebomb at 27 degrees in Cyprus)
That the bloated king of fragrances Aventus (I like him and have a 40ml bottle myself) is not imperative, just as Invictus (I own him) is not invincible ;)

I can't say anything about the bottle, because I don't own it and I only have/had one sample.

Since we have warm weather today I wanted to try something new and sprayed this on my neck? The first whiff.......
Oh man that was not very pleasant, sour and spicy at the same time with an intensity of 15 sprayers...
I thought the sample was tilted first...
Nope, apparently not!

In the top note an intense lime with strong ginger and light pepper
The heart notes include rum (which I don't like at all, and if only in combination with sweet),DEFINITIVE BLACK PEPPER...
I have not yet arrived at the base but I am sure that cedar wood will be the decisive factor here.

A drunk Jack Sparrow would certainly like that, but unfortunately I don't :)

I wish everyone on Parfumo and in DE a nice day and a nice weekend!

MASKS DO NOT FORGET TO Wear!!!!

Valentino Uomo Intense was already known to me, but only by name. During a stay in a perfumery I was literally urged to test this scent, but I didn't do it. Somehow I found the bottle superficial and kitschy.

Anyway, a few months ago I got a sample from a nice lady here. I was happy about it, but a bit disappointed that it is this kitschy scent, which Jeremy also likes to promote.

Since the climate of my residence is rather hot, I did not have the opportunity to test it. But when it was thunderstorming this morning and the weather cooled down, I decided not to use a fresh scent. In my travel bag I found the sample, and sprayed the scent onto my jacket. Something spicy-sweet presented itself, but it should be much better. During the lecture, the scent unfolded and it became heavenly. It was something I knew, but I couldn't place it. An Arab student sitting next to me leaned over to me, and suddenly started asking all kinds of questions, and I'm sure she was fascinated by the iris-vanilla combo, which also applies to me...

This experience has shown me that a fragrance should not be judged by its bottle or brand. Prejudices are often unwarranted, and also weak-minded, since one misses possibly good chances, as well as experiences. This applies to all areas in our hopefully beautifully fragrant life :)

...I was 12 when I first got to know this scent. I found a little sample of sun in the bathroom closet. I sprayed it on my wrist (how professional) :) Back then, I was bewitched by this EdT. This sweet-summery creamy scent seemed very sexy to me...:D

It wasn't until I was 26 that I bought a bottle, and at least the scent is long-lasting, especially on clothes. Unfortunately, I don't know how this creamy one comes about, but the fragrance doesn't seem flowery to me in the sense that the pyramid above says. Jil Sander-Sun is actually a representation of sun-tan lotion, beach, the sea, and just everything that belongs to a holiday in the south.
I don't think this fragrance is a jewel anymore, but in its branch of holiday fragrances, this perfume is probably one of the best.
By the way, the bottle is handy and solid, at the same time also practical, fits in most bags etc...

As you know all Xerjoff fragrances are quite expensive, at Istanbul airport 100ml cost about 350-400 Euro. The very first fragrance that inspired me was Mefisto, so I started looking for other Xerjoff fragrances. Fortunately last summer I bought some cheap bottlings from this house, and don't regret it.

Nevertheless, my favorite until now is the Fiero, this fragrance is quite spicy green and slightly fresh designed. Initially I perceive the freshness, but I cannot classify it so well, but after a certain time, after the top note is over, it becomes easier for me personally. This spicy green is mainly tarragon thyme, mint I perceive rather weakly. The best description I can think of for this fragrance is a herbal bath. I immediately had the associations with certain herbs or sedative baths.
I use this fragrance when I want to relax and calm down.

I can only say good things about the performance. It lasts on the skin up to 10 hours, and the Sillage is also on an arm's length, rather discreet, if you only give 1 or 2 sprays.

The Xerjoff bottles and bags are very well processed, they look noble and sublime.
