Sirocco

At the beginning, citrusy and super fresh. I really liked it at this stage. Then it loses the citrusy quality and moves (at least on my skin) in a shower gel direction, which was still okay for me. However, it changes significantly over time, becoming warmer, floral, and spicy. It was no longer for me then. It smells very intense, and the sillage is accordingly good. Longevity is definitely above average, clearly noticeable even after showering. Qualitatively certainly very good, but due to the shift from citrusy/fresh to floral/woody, unfortunately not for me. It was also too intense and actually too long-lasting for me.

As it develops, I keep thinking I catch hints of LV Imagination, but here it is a bit more floral and woody. The citrusy-woody, incense-like quality is what remains in the end. A nice all-rounder for everyday wear.

The first sniff: An icy shock at 40 degrees. As soon as you press the sprayer, an ultra-luxurious, ice-cold citrus bomb explodes. Mandarin, bergamot, lemon, and the pure energy of fresh ginger slap you right in the face. It smells exactly like an ice-cold gin and tonic served in scorching heat. After a few minutes, the scent changes completely. The initial citrus coldness gives way to a warm aura. Neroli and noble May rose bring freshness into play. Smoky incense, deep saffron, noble woods, and a warm amber accord provide the warmth. It is as if a cool gust of wind is blowing over hot desert sand. The performance as well as the sillage are an endurance beast in a bottle, lasting at least 10-12 hours. A fragrance for everyone who loves extreme contrasts. Perfect for a stylish summer outfit, an important business meeting, or an open-air event in the evening. Imagination vibes included, only here, in my eyes, with a slightly too pungent citrusiness. But for those who like that, every single spray delivers the absolute high-end sniff!
