So we have a citrusy herbaceous opening. Spice comes right in and creates an adult feeling. No fragrance for teens. After 1-2 hours we have a great and very aventus similar sillage developed. Sophisticated and masculine. No need to describe individual fragrance notes here. The mixture is super - nothing that disturbs. Yes, it was the bottle that somehow drew my attention. To Selfridge's new Esencia. I wore the "old" Esencia EdT quite often in my first summer at Parfumo. Then somehow too rare. So the fragrance first got into the past and then out of my collection. Green he was. A little edgy. Own and therefore very good. Nevertheless, the Esencia EdP remains fresh and yet somewhat muted. Adult. The combination of just a few fragrance components is simply wonderful for this fragrance. He doesn't play great through pyramid (which he doesn't have) or pushes ISO E Super or Ambroxan out of the base for sheer helplessness (and deliberate mass suitability).

The sandalwood "ignites" quite late and basically provides a soft drydown when vetiver and lavender slowly dim over the hours. The combination with the mossy, woody-earthy components ultimately makes him a whole gentleman. With matching silage and shelf life of around 7-8 hours.In the opening gibts here no fruit. One knows otherwise pineapple or the like, but here we start very citrusy and herbaceous. This works immensely refreshing.

I could compare it to an aventus from 2017 and the birch note is nicely replicated here. In my humble nose I would certify similarity to 89%

From the ingredients you certainly do not get smart, so many herbs, plants, etc. The first spray reveals the secret!
