Gunther

My parents blind bought a bottle of this for my birthday on their trip to Italy without knowing it's one of the few scents this fragrance house makes for men. That said, it reads masculine mostly upon initial spray, when it smells like barbershop colognes. The lavender punches you in the face, but disappears into the background within minutes. Lemon and tobacco become more focused, remaining dominant throughout the wear. There's something in the base that reminds me of salt, or perhaps ambergris. So picture a salted lemon wrapped up in fresh tobacco leaves, with a jealous sprig of lavender off to the side, and you have this fragrance. It's a pretty mild cologne with soft sillage. Something refreshing to spritz on a hot day. The bottle is beautiful and simple, the 2.5oz looks a lot like Nasomotto fragrances with their giant wooden tops.

GÜNTHER (The Triptych of Günther, Pt. 3) A game. The South. Heat. The breeze caresses all. An emerald sea on the horizon. Calm. Peace. A sudden wind from the east. Magic and mystery. New, different depths. A man stands on the shore of Pantelleria. His eyes gaze wistfully into the distance. His journey has come to an end. A sigh.
