Scherrer 2 takes us on an olfactory journey where opulence and sensuality dance in an intoxicating way. From the very first moment, a whirlwind of aromas captivates and awakens primal instincts. It opens with warm, tempting honey, animalic notes, and an intriguing sensuality. That sweet nectar blends with jasmine and neroli, adding a voluptuous and exotic character. Civet adds a provocative dimension, highlighting the sensuality and reminding us of the seductive scent of skin at the height of desire. Although feminine, a man can wear it with equal charm to show his passionate side. More than a fragrance, it’s an invitation to explore the most intimate part of oneself. We immerse ourselves in a world of luxury and decadence where honey and flowers fuse with human passion, awakening the senses and unleashing desire. In its sweetness lies a darkness and sensuality that add mystery.

50ml Splash. A potion brewed by mischievous, devilish perfumers. A work of architecture and sense, with well-balanced aldehydes and a harmonious, sweet, smoky rose. Was this emancipation? An incense of the city and skyscrapers that also takes root in the underground and the subconscious. Lingers on the skin for hours, creating an aura of glorious sandalwood. It whispers: ‘Don’t use me until you know me well; by my attributes and power, I am capable of things you can’t even imagine.’ A drop levitates in the air as if invoking a ghost. The bottle encloses and portrays the genius. Take it seriously: the perfume with capital letters was like this; it’s not for playing around or frivolity. I’m not ready to wear it.

50 ml of Splash. A potion brewed by perfumer fairies from hell. A work of art with meaning. Well-balanced aldehydes paired with a bold, sweet, smoky rose and civet. Was this emancipation? It smells like city incense and skyscrapers, yet also like the underground and the subconscious. It lingers on the skin for hours, creating a glorious sandalwood aura. It whispers not to use it until you know it well, because its attributes and power can do things you never dreamed of. A drop of this SCH2 lifts the air as if you’re summoning a ghost. The bottle encases and captures the genius. Take it seriously: the perfume with capital letters was like this; it’s not a game or frivolous. Honestly, I’m not ready to wear it yet.

I agree with those who have already tried it. It’s a blend of chypre and oriental-floral notes. The bottle is gorgeous, elegant, and showcases the power of what’s inside. It’s dense, with incredible sillage and longevity, looking perfect on stylish men or women in luxury attire. It starts strong with aldehydes, transitions into something honeyed with very attractive florals, then reveals resinous notes and a soft vanilla touch. This is an adult, luxurious perfume with presence. Don’t buy it blindly; it’s very different from today’s sweet trends.

I agree with the previous reviews. It’s a perfume that’s half chypre, half oriental-floral. The bottle is a marvel, elegant, and shows off the power of the liquid. It’s dense, with great longevity and sillage, and suits both men and women with an elegant air and luxury clothing. Powerful opening, aldehydes that transition into a honeyed aroma with narcotic flowers. I perceive the benzoin resin that gives it a soft vanilla touch at the end. Adult evolution, luxurious, and with presence. Don’t buy blindly! It’s very different from current gourmand trends.

It’s a staple on my list: intense and full of personality, almost masculine, perfect for winter. It smells unique and leaves no one indifferent. The longevity is brutal; it lingers on the skin for hours. I love that the bottle has stayed exactly the same after 30 years, unlike most brands; I bought it and it’s identical to the one I had in the 90s when I was a teenager.
Santal_dream
Without a doubt, one of my favorites: intense, almost masculine, and with a lot of personality, ideal for winter. An uncommon scent that doesn’t leave anyone indifferent. The longevity is brutal and lasts hours on the skin. Also, I love that they kept the original bottle design after 30 years, unlike other houses that have changed it. I just bought it, and it’s identical to the one I wore in the 90s and still have stored away.
Espartaco
A marvel. The roughness and insolence of the rose/bergamot combo feel strong, with that typical torn body of these notes. But Scherrer II isn’t a chypre as we know it; it wants to ride the 80s fashion wave of narcotic neroli and enchanting resins, but instead of imposing from the start, it lets the neroli and honey with resins build up gradually, without overwhelming. The beautiful thing is that no current reigns: even in the oriental dry-down, there are sparks of a soapy, spicy, young rose. Half chypre, half oriental. For women in sheer stockings and stiletto heels or masculine men with a touch of naughtiness. Perfectly unisex. Highly recommended.

I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews of this great treasure. Scherrer 2, despite having many notes, each one is perceptible, with the most powerful being the honey and amber, although I notice a lot of incense; it reminds me of Arab perfumes. With two sprays, it leaves a super powerful trail, the longevity is excellent, it doesn’t go unnoticed, and it steals glances. Worth every penny it costs.
