Is this the solution: Never go to the hairdresser again?

When I finally managed to squeeze my long-overdue hair appointment into my calendar today, I had what you might call an epiphany experience. Upon entering my hair salon, I stood frozen in the doorway - soaking wet from the nasty rain. What did my eyes see: On the shelf right across from me: FRAGRANCES, and I mean the full range from Nasengold, Carven, and Escentric Molecules. Only by summoning all the willpower I had was I able to FIRST attend to my hair appointment - and only then to test. Conveniently: while I sat in that little chair getting snipped, I could extensively research and decide in advance which fragrances would take their place on my arms.
And the winners are: Nasengold G. and Nasengold L
Nasengold G. immediately attracts me with its grapefruit component. I LOVE grapefruit, but I always find it quite tricky in perfumes, at least that's how it is for me. Sometimes it disappears within seconds, sometimes it smells somehow sweaty, sometimes it smells extremely artificial. So, while a good grapefruit scent might not completely transport me - it certainly brings me close to ecstasy.
And that's exactly what it is, the G. An unbelievably good grapefruit scent! When I looked at the fragrance pyramid, I was a bit taken aback: Sulfur?? Do I want to smell like a matchstick? Complete nonsense, somehow the sulfur seems to fix the grapefruit scent and keep it in this pleasantly bitter freshness. But those who suspect that G. is just another citrus summer scent are gravely mistaken. Because after enjoying this wonderful grapefruit-ginger-pepper blend for a good one to two hours (all my favorite top note components in one - I'm about to flip out), something happens and suddenly G. becomes more floral, softer, more sensual. Oh man, does it smell good - and underneath I can still smell that top note. How does that work? To me, it smells like I imagine the best scented rose in the world: delicate, yet lush, velvety-elegant. No trace of cloying, sour, or dominant. Just beautifully caressing. And again, G. gives you time to enjoy the new unfolding, because only very gradually do darker nuances join in: a hint of leather - but the delicate, soft leather of beautiful (and usually extremely expensive) bags, vetiver - but not bristly or straw-like, rather the kind that sways gently in the wind, a bit of wood adds more substance: And yes, then it comes, towards the end: the cocoa. I find the idea of incorporating such a completely unrelated element simply brilliant. The scent has this playful wink, a not-taking-itself-too-seriously vibe that I love. It plays with expectations - only to then veer off in a direction that completely surprises you. During the scent test, I kept thinking: How cool, I would never have thought it would go on like this! What is also very quirky about the scent: it somehow loops back. So not the classic progression: top-heart-base, but unexpectedly, fragrance notes reappear that you thought had already said goodbye. Sometimes pure like before and sometimes newly mixed.
It’s a scent you can really immerse yourself in - for hours. I keep discovering new facets.
I am definitely head over heels in love and facing a very, very difficult decision: Should I switch my really excellent hairdresser to avoid temptation - or do I just need to plan a bigger budget for my next visit…

Nasal Orgasm from the Top Note

Wow, with the first sniff, it hits you right in the nose, and Christian Plesch hits the G-spot of the receptors for peppery-spicy and citrusy-sour scents. In this top note, he seems to have packed in everything that really clears your head: sour notes of grapefruit and lime that immediately stimulate saliva production are paired with the sharp notes of pink pepper and zesty ginger. Added to this are the sulfur notes that are already contained in grapefruit. But they are cranked up significantly, enhancing the spiciness and acidity even further. Refreshing, but with a Schweppes face. It tingles and even burns a little in the nose. A quasi-sadistically enhanced cologne. Very sour, spicy, a bit of nasal BDSM, and definitely quite awesome!

As it develops, the flowers slowly come to the fore (I especially notice a greenish shimmering rose), but they are always kept on a short leash by the pepper and acidity. This is not about romance, but about fun and action! Nevertheless, the scent becomes a bit softer, but at the same time also a little dirty. Probably due to jasmine and the emerging leathery notes. Heated skin and lascivious touches. But just a hint of it, as if the nose and brain are just being teased a little. Interestingly, the flowers of the heart note also combine on my skin to create a slight hint of lilac.

Slowly, the candidates of the heart note make their appearance. After the heated and action-packed top note and the floral-mundane-dirty heart with flowers on the pillow, it now becomes a bit more composed and masculine with cedar, bitter-dark vetiver, patchouli, and dark cocoa that doesn’t come off as gourmand at all. In retrospect, I remember having sensed a slight cocoa hint already in the heart note. I just couldn’t quite place it. But who thinks of a cup of cocoa when the G-spot has just been hit?! Not even a chocoholic can manage that.

It’s interesting that this fragrance manages to create a tension curve over actually three different scents. In the top, the BDSM EdC, in the heart a slightly naughty floral scent with lemon pepper, and now at the end a dark-masculine scent that you just want to cuddle up to.

All of this is held together by two components: On one hand, there’s the peppery sharpness of pink pepper and ginger; and on the other, a sparkling, fresh, effervescent, and fragrant base mood that I would best describe as "Pleschinade" or "Nasal Goldinade" now that I know all three scents from Christian Plesch.

I only have slight deductions in the B-note, as I would have liked a bit more stimulation in the heart and base. While it’s all fun and great, it feels a bit too tame compared to the knockout top note. A little more exciting sex would have suited me well.
But that’s complaining at a high level! With G., Nasengold has given me a wonderful and quite satisfying nasal orgasm. And I’m extremely curious about what else Christian Plesch has to offer in terms of scents.

.25 o'clock

At .25 o'clock, G.. has a scent. Grapefruitian transparency fills G.. Orange blossom transparency permeates G.. All Nasengolds are transparent creatures, unburdened, smart, and casual, laidback scents indeed. Christian Plesch's protégé G. is fresh-fruity-soft-huggable. The fragrance smells of fluffy modernity. But Nasengold wouldn't be Nasengold if everything weren't different. In the top note, very tiny agile turbulences spread out, which later dissipate in flat waves.

When it comes to grapefruit, my nose generally always says one thing: Difficult, very difficult. Grapefruit is often more poorly executed than well in designer fragrances, more piercingly sour than pleasantly agreeable. Here, a few names like Hugo Red by Hugo or Eau de Lacoste L. 12. 12 Blanc by Lacoste can be mentioned. Of course, there are exceptions like Agrumi Amari di Sicilia by Bois 1920, or G. by Nasengold.

But while the other fragrances smell like 11 o'clock in the morning (Hugo) or 2 o'clock in the afternoon (Lacoste), Nasengold smells different, specifically at .25 o'clock. The grapefruit is complemented by my dearly beloved sulfur. Everything is relaxed and easy at the precise time of 25.

What do you usually do at .25 o'clock? Well, typically you smell of peppy soft citrus fresh fruit, more precisely: a grapefruit-orange. A sweet note also flits through the picture, which is just as mild as the fruity one, more precisely: mild fruity sweetness. Soft floral accents strike exactly this gentle chord. However, the fruity sweetness is not only fruity and sweet but is constantly reinvented through so many interrelationships. The gentle waves that now fill the air shape G..

This is all the more successfully designed, as jasmine and rose harbor the potential for capriciousness, and not in small measure. Here they are mild and simply fit the picture, round, harmonious, and exemplary. The fruity ideas are reflected in the fruity touch and the fresh components in the floral details. Together, they create a new fragrance for .25 o'clock.

My Nose is Not Made of Gold

It sits right in the middle of the face, sometimes small, sometimes large, sometimes delicate, sometimes coarse, and has already caused quite a bit of mockery. I know only a few people who are satisfied with their noses; I am not either, but women always have something to complain about...

And yet it is soooo important!!

The human nose must prepare the inhaled air for the lower respiratory tract; it is, so to speak, a filter, air conditioning system, and humidifier. Depending on individual body size, a normal nose can bring 10,000 - 15,000 liters of air to body temperature and enrich it with 80 - 90% humidity daily. What a performance!!

But that’s not all; smelling is another important function, especially for us perfume enthusiasts. A little excursion: We smell more or less fine fragrance substances that fly through the air as molecules. These are directed to the olfactory epithelium - the sensory center of the nose. In the mucus layer, the incoming scent molecules are collected and dissolved. Here, there are cilia, long thin appendages of the olfactory cells, which absorb the dissolved particles; then they travel via the olfactory cells to the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain. In the olfactory bulb and generally in the brain, the scent information is processed and assigned - that is the actual smelling.

Today, I tested the nasal gold with my northern nose and the brain's assignment.
In front of me is a small square bottle with a letter, quite plain and simple.

G for Genius or (just) Good… Yes, I know there are other associations for the G, but those are certainly not suitable for young audiences, and we are all decent people here... ;-)

In the first spray, a fleeting memory of Aventus, then fresh grapefruit - and mandarin notes that I like. A very faint pepper is also present, ginger has rolled away. My nose then detects fine little floral snippets, continuously washed over by mandarin and grapefruit. The fruit-flower mixture then floats to the well-worn leather couch, having never seen a sulfur match.
Cocoa was in the other room, vetiver wasn’t even there.

It’s a nice summer spritz that I will wear at the appropriate temperatures.
Unisex and its synthetic nature thankfully stays within limits.

So, conclusion: G for GOOD. Nothing more.

HERE ARE A FEW FUNNY AND NOT SO FUNNY FACTS ABOUT THE NOSE:

In men, the nose grows for the first 17 to 19 years, while in women, the nose grows until the age of 15 to 17 years.

There are different ways to sneeze. Since these types are genetically determined, members of a family usually sneeze similarly. There can be significant differences with other families.
When sneezing, irritants that cause the sneeze are expelled at a speed of about 161 km/h.

When inhaling dry air, the air pulls moisture from the mucus. This makes it firmer, resulting in what is known as boogers.

As the only one of the five senses, the sense of smell is directly linked to the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for memory formation.

WOMEN HAVE A STRONGER SENSE OF SMELL THAN MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As collagen and elastin break down over time in the nose, the nose elongates with age and droops due to the pull of gravity.
[...this also happens with some other body parts... :-(( ]

Deadly for humans are substances they cannot smell. These include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and natural gas. With natural gas, people can only smell the added substance mercaptan.

During pregnancy, women’s noses become hypersensitive, leading to a peculiar sense of taste.

The nose and sinuses produce a liter of mucus daily, which fights infections with the help of contained enzymes and white blood cells. Since the olfactory nerves are directly connected to the brain, smells can evoke certain memories through associations.

In the New Zealand Maori tribe, people do not greet each other with a handshake but rub their noses together.

The scientific term for smelling is olfactory perception.

From the age of 65, people lose part of their sense of smell. By the age of 80, typically 50% of olfactory abilities have been lost.

Hyperosmia is an exceptionally strong sense of smell.

If one perceives smells incorrectly, they suffer from dysosmia.

Men have longer noses than women. (and that’s a good thing too ;-)

In the human nose, there are 10 million olfactory receptors that react sensitively to scent and odor molecules.

Human babies recognize their mother by her scent. (later, it’s the other way around.... ;-)))))))

MEN CAN PERCEIVE FEWER SCENTS THAN WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact is: Those who pick others' noses have nothing in their own.

In this sense: Take care of your noses!!

The One That Can Go Deep and High

This is a very complex perfume. I observed the unfolding of the notes in layers. Beginning: clean, citrus fruits leaning towards grapefruit - delicately bitter, aromatic, very natural. I thought that was it, I wouldn’t experience anything more, but! Now the best begins: the next round: citrus notes transition into an Iso E-Air freshness, fine cool tones of the wind. Very fresh and exciting, and then slowly Neroli wraps itself around a hint of rose, completely imperceptible, white flowers. A strong, refined, and elegant scent... and then, my final surprise: such a fresh opening unexpectedly meets leather, cedarwood, vetiver. Now I finally discover what the true scent is, fully cloaked sensuality and endurance. So well composed, I would be thrilled. I recommend wearing it from morning to evening without reapplying. In the dawn, a refreshing challenge, at noon petals for relaxation, and in the evening, "step on the gas." In a leather jacket, heading towards forests, somewhere high in the mountains, like an escape from urbanism, yet still contemporary, modern, and stylish. Now, slowly! Patience... this perfume requires slowness, without haste, with a lot of tact. That’s how the best comes out. A very well-crafted perfume, for light and relaxed people who have an irresistible "bedroom moment" over a strict business outfit, and, by nature, are not in a hurry. A beautiful, slow-motion perfume.
