The Bottled Elixir is the best remaster since the digitization of the films of the aforementioned film actress.
The patchouli and cedarwood start with a pleasant nutty-chocolate note, which I only know from L'Instant by Guerlain, but more in-your-face, the incense and cardamom round it off wonderfully. In terms of complexity and fragrance progression, Boss doesn't create any innovations here, but the syllage and longevity are outstanding for me. Combined with Dior Homme Intense, an unbeatable companion in winter, but also an absolute dream team in summer with a fresh fragrance of your choice. Chocolate always works, and so does Gina.

Granted, Montale isn't known for its versatile scent progressions, but with this fragrance, I wouldn't want that either. You get such a fistful of vanilla and chocolate with the first spray that it blows you away. The absolute number 1 for me in winter - ok, I also wear it at 30 degrees, but that's another story. In any case, this piece is an absolute compliment catcher. When I wear it, everyone always asks what smells so delicious. A little tip: applying two spritzes of Chocolate Greedy and two spritzes of Layton together puts everything else in the shade!

Anyone looking for gold will find it here! You can tell me what you want, but we all got into the perfume game with Le Male and each of us still has one in the cupboard somewhere. I can't understand the bad reviews for it either. Some people have smelled two or three niche fragrances and now think the cheap fragrances are no longer wearable. It's like blaspheming about your ex-girlfriend, even though you still love her, and consoling yourself with the one from the gym because you thought that cheap frenchnails and extensions make a woman.
But that's another topic. Back to the fragrance. Le Male Elixir rounds off the entire range perfectly and continues what we all started with decades ago. The fact that the sailor now wears gold shows his development. For me, it is not dissimilar to Le Male and I definitely detect its amber. But what really stands out is the tonka bean and the mint in the finish. A bold creation that has paid off and should be tested. You can find it at your trusted gold dealer.

If Aventus were Eddy Brock, then the limited edition of Club Nuit would be Venom. At its core, both are the same and start with a dominant, cytrical pineapple note. However, the outer shell of the Amraf becomes much darker, while the Aventus becomes much milder and flattens out very quickly. Club Nuit is accompanied by a pleasant, leathery patchouli note, which perfectly underlines the initial notes. The bottle, encased in the fantastic box, is strongly reminiscent of Naxos and the designer has also gone to great lengths here. The price-performance ratio is a perfect 10 for me, I think it lasts 8 and so does the sillage. Therefore an absolute buy recommendation. I'm already excited and looking forward to seeing how the fragrance performs in summer.

The name says it all! Unfortunately, I can't smell anything other than pepper. It is so dominant that I don't notice anything of the tonka bean and the other Ingridients. Viktor and Rolf's Spicebomb also starts with a good dose of pepper, but this fades after a few minutes or is no longer so extremely present. In my opinion, the perfumer has unfortunately not managed this so well here. For me, this is unfortunately one of the worse fragrances on the market and not to my taste.
