Hermessence Agar Ebene

Make it simple, make it stand up. 2 notes, straight to the point. I get the fresh, aromatic-sweet fir, and the agar wood, deep and sensual. It doesn’t have to be too complicated sometimes. Timeless, class, masculinity. _____ Projection, sillage, longevity : 9/10 Originality, presentation : 8/10 Quality, value : 9/10 8.5/10

Very high quality, fruity chocolate sitting on top of the "skin-like" dna of Cuir d'Ange. It's nearly gourmand, but in a grownup and sexual(?) way. Wow. This one is for close encounters definitely lol. Smells like happiness and fertility and love Update: After a full wearing, I can tell you the projection is pretty much completely non-existent. This stays right at the skin and doesn't jump off of it at all whatsoever. I also have a really hard time smelling it on myself after 15 minutes, and my full wearing was done in 70 degree weather. This fragrance genuinely seems like it was made with the bedroom in mind, and nothing else. If you plan on wearing it outside of your home, wear it on the hottest day of the year and douse yourself in it, and then maybe someone will smell you

This is really 'barely there', but what is actually 'there' is, as many others has already pointed out, very elegant, polite, light and minimalist. Very gentle and quiet. A very fresh and light oud, with pine. The most gentle woody fragrance I've ever encountered. Appropriate for office wear, yes. Very versatile. Leans masculine. A bit too ethereal for me. I like it for sure, but it doesn't really move me. I imagine a young man in a very light, tropical wool suit. Immaculate. Singularly well-mannered.

Ahhhh minimalism Such a movement that is much appreciated in arts but here it’s definitely another way to get your money My first fragrance from this line and the experience was horrendous Upon first application I thought “hey that’s nice , easy to like” Before the third hour I started wondering is the weakness normal No it isn’t it never was I won’t judge this line from my first experience but I smell something fishy about it and I don’t like this idea one bit

This one actually really does remind me of Cuir d'Ange. Out of all of Nagel's additions, this is the most connected to Elena's. In saying that, perhaps its a little too much like Cuir d'Ange. That left me a bit bored. Though, as it changes, the fir sings. The agarwood takes on a strange route and becomes something entirely unusual. Any way you look at it, its a very high quality scent. Maybe not worth a purchase if you have CdA and a similar skin type to myself.
