After the irritation with the "Eau Sauvage" perfume, which is darkly bitter and medicinal and has very little in common with "Eau Sauvage," I immediately found myself on the "right" wild water trail with the "Extrême" version. The name is truly fitting; this is a high-speed offshoot of the classic that smells more volu...
Read review →I’ll admit it straight away - even though I appreciate the black monolith "Noir" in certain aspects - its playfulness with old fragrance concepts, its partially visible homage to "Shalimar" or "Habit Rouge" - for me personally, it is simply too "over-composed": Too dense, too heavy, too much pepper, too much sillage br...
Read review →Oh, no comment yet? Illuminum, a very young British perfume brand, founded in 2011, fully focuses on unisex and room fragrances. The "Arabic Amber" now comes, contrary to its name, without any amber in the ingredients. In fact, the name seems somewhat misleading; I certainly don't smell any significant amounts. At firs...
Read review →At first spray, Burberry gives me a nice, uncomplicated scent impression with their men's flanker. I see a certain closeness to other office-appropriate fragrances like "YSL L'Homme" or "Gabrielli Homme" as a fundamental characteristic. A smooth fruity start, a bit of apple, subtle peach, already lightly underlined wit...
Read review →The price is quite a statement. Asking 140 euros for 50 ml of a purely fresh and summery Sicilian fragrance seems steep to me. But is the return worth it? From Tom Daxon, the British perfumer, you get with "Sicilian Wood" a very high-quality, smoothly rounded, natural lemon beauty that - as DaveGahan101 already mention...
Read review →So far, I quite like Mazzolari's fragrances. They have charisma, each with a clear, clean profile, and the individual masculine scents are naturally composed and distinctly separable from one another. While "Mazzolari" caters to the sauna-goer and nature type (green-woody-forest), "Lui" leans into the slightly animalis...
Read review →Does anyone even know this one? I have the feeling that "Lagerfeld Man" is one of Karl's fragrances that disappeared from the market the fastest without a deeper connection in the perfume minds. Was it due to the loveless triviality that affected the bottle, name, and advertising campaign back then? I've rarely seen su...

Read review →The old "Aramis Collection," which unifies the many classics (Havana, JHL, Tuscany, 900, New West) through identical bottle shapes, is a true treasure trove of different, very charismatic scents with high recognition value. With a significant time gap, a "Gentleman" now emerges as a derivative of the original "Aramis,"...
Read review →Yes, somehow in the middle. The "male archipelago" stylistically occupies a point of connection between both characteristics, although the drift unfortunately leans somewhat towards the latter. At first glance, one might think they have a rather commonly constructed, yet inherently nice Mediterranean freshness booster...
Read review →That Guerlain pushes this to the limit and - just like Armani does with "Code", Dior with "Dior Homme", and YSL with "L'Homme" - completely wears out the "L'Homme Idéal" pony, doesn't quite fit this exquisite brand. Fairly speaking, one must say that Guerlain doesn't just randomly mess around with the name and style of...
