Baldessarini Ambré, fashion, Hugo Boss, scentsy scents

I find Baldessarini to linear. Disliking a linear fragrance is somehow worse than disliking a scent with a conventional top, middle and base. Whereas the three-tiered fragrance may surprise you and win you over, for a linear scent, the primary sniff becomes the lasting impression. A top linear fragrance should have notes which will connect at various points to keep your interest but they are hard to find here. It allows for reconsideration from totally different views and in several lights. Here is where a decent linear fragrance will hold its own against a famous classic.

The first blast provides me with plenty of pepper and cloves. At the start it’s reminiscent of Calvin Klein’s Contradiction for Men, but then it goes a distinct direction turning into a less fresh and sweeter fragrance. This is pleasant and simple to reach for when you are not in the mood for heavy orientals or high-pitched clean citrus.

In Baldessarini, I found the syrupy sweet note quite unpleasant, the nose equivalent of a high-pitched whistle. The cedar-like tobacco note has no association to the present sweet note, the two sit uneasily side by side while taking their reciprocally linear paths. Another problem with the tobacco note is that it evolves over time badly interacting with the other notes.

This can be worn on a casual meeting or a formal office lounge, but it would be wise to take the weather into consideration, preferably windy.

Deep Red Hugo Boss for women

My nose has been glued to my wrist! It has a thick quality to it, so while you can tell there are fruits there, they are blended incredibly well and are in no way juvenile. I was surprised by the opening, as I thought this would be a super heavy scent, but it slowly builds and unfurls it’s magic. What this reminded me of was Cacharel Amor Amor, except the latter feels younger and more summery. I can feel a hint of dramatic tuberose as well. The scent makes me think of a rich plum color rather than red, as I don’t feel like it’s very flashy. The only thing I don’t like is the bottle, as I feel this scent deserves something a bit better, but it doesn’t matter that much in the end, this was love at first sniff I can hardly say I pick out many notes distinctly asides from recognizing a vanilla undertone, but now that I see the pyramid, I agree with the top rated notes of blackcurrant, blood orange and sandalwood.I did not expect this from Hugo Boss who has a series of underwhelming fragrances to me. This has quite an oriental feel to it I think. It’s entrancing. It has a lot of depth and very impressive staying power so you will smell fantastic for a really long time. My goodness does this smell amazing! Deep Red feels grown up and somewhat enigmatic.I love it, however I wear it only in a chic outing at night, but it’s very sexy for every day’s life in my opinion.
