Drakkar Dynamik (1999)
by Guy Laroche

Heavy sour and peppery woods. A disgustingly synthetic.

My comment is actually shorter than Ken Russell, it ended in the bin very quickly.

Memories of 1999 in a redundantly casual, misplaced youthful way. Clearly belongs to the " scents that should have never been made" category.
Drakkar Noir is stylish, mysterious and long-lasting, tough heavy for some wearers, a more discreet version of it being probably welcomed ( however not overdone light and/ or casual). Well, this is the very mistake of this, it has so little of the original Drakkar left and becomes an utmost fruity scent like the most generic Boss or Davidoff. It has that sickening sweetness in between Hugo and Good Life- to stick both to the aforementioned fragrance houses and to a quite contemporary chronological context. And like in this two scents overdone vanillic and beeswax touches, even if this potential can be well-placed in other scents ( and even sweetness, with creativity and moderation for that matter) plus some synthetic fruity notes, again reminescent of that entire Boss youth culture and the most hideous fashion trends of the nineties. Sports and clubbing in the tasteless way, unispiringly ready for an undesrved success( it was, oddly, quite popular around its release date). Ah, the memories of the mass-market fragrance, irreswpective of price because afrfordable scents can be much more distinguished and longer lasting than expected or, the opposite phenomenon, designer scents can smell way too common.
