24 Platinum

Just as I was thinking 24 Gold must have been a rare freak occurrence an absolute gem of a fragrance which stood out head and shoulders above anything in its price range...I got my nose on this. Another blind buy on the strength of 24 Gold might I add and I never expected it to be as good but Scent story have done it again an absolutely superb fragrance which smells so high end niche it's ridiculous. I also mirror the comment below...How is there not Oud in this??? EVERYBODY!!! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS SMELLS MORE DEFINITIVELY OF OUD THAN 80% OF FRAGRANCES RELEASED WITH OUD IN THE NAME. Strong Oud was the thing I smelled and in abundance right away...super ambery (more so even than Gold) thick, opulent, princely aroma. The rose makes this deep, complex and to me more than a little reminiscent of classic rose/Oud combos but with the vanilla which brings it into a new creamier realm. The fruitiness stays long into the dry down giving this fragrance yet more dimensions which smooth but spicy balsam and resin notes too. Needless to say I'm mega impressed by this fragrance and yet again the 24 range has a winner and a world beating scent in 24 Platinum. Stunning! Longevity and projection are monstrous much like Gold. If three fragrances I loved had a child it would be 24 platinum and the contributors are Armani prive myrrhe imperiale By Killian Incense Oud Scent story 24 Gold Praise indeed!

The more I wear this, the more I LOVE it! Very gorgeous fragrance that I must admit that I'm completely taken by surprise by. Very much reminds me of Montale Aoud Red in some aspects but it also has some interesting little nuances that clearly differentiate it. For one, the juniper note adds a subtle but clear distinctiveness that I totally LOVE. Considering it was less than half the price of Aoud Red, I have to say that it wins hands down on value -- especially since it comes across as being a very solid high quality fragrance. Starting to see Scent Story fragrances as being totally worthy of my loyalty. This is the second Scent Story fragrances that I've been smitten with this past year-- the first one being 24 Gold. And I simply can't believe that there's no Agarwood listed in the notes of 24 Platinum. It's more "aoud-y" than many Aoud based fragrances currently out there! Gonna give myself a couple blasts of this 24 Platinum beauty and fall to sleep engulfed by it's gorgeously blended notes! Sillage is moderate-heavy; Longevity is 6-8 hrs on me.

The first 30 minutes of this make you smell as if you have done some heavy drinking and during this time it's not very unisex at all, more on the male side. Needless to say, I wasn't too thrilled the first time I smelled it. That was before I knew how if should evolve. And did it evolve! To my nose and on me, I'm a woman, after the first half hour it slowly turned into a gorgeous creamy, sweet bodylotion kind of scent, albeit much stronger (this baby needs to be sprayed with self-control otherwise it get's too strong, sharp and synthetic).The funny thing is, It smells completely different on my husband. No bodylotion smell at all. On him it turns all wood/oud and vanilla in the best possible way. Decent longevity and very nice sillage. EDIT, Yes there are some minor similarities to Montale Red Aoud, one of my all time favourites, but only minor and only in the far drydown.

This is 50% metallic rose - the somewhat typical middle eastern "white" or "silver" rose scent (think Silver Mountain Water or Charriol Royal White, etc) - but the other half is strong musk-mallow, supported by hints of sandalwood and resins. Very nice and very unisex. Very clean, not overpowering, but perfectly long-lasting. I'd like this scent a bit more if it traveled just a little further into that cool, metallic territory, but overall, I have no complaints about this composition. I will say, however, that you MUST like musk-mallow if you expect to enjoy this scent. That portion of this fragrance is very potent and front and center throughout its life. I would describe this scent as musk-mallow sprayed over Silver Mountain Water, but I do understand the Roses Vanille comparisons as well.

What an underrated fragrance! This is the one that made me "get" rose outside of the typical old lady context. This is a sweet, musky rose that is simultaneously thick and transparent. It opens up strangely boozy to me, but it doesnt smell like any alcoholic beverage I've ever had. Imagine a rare wine made out of rose, sugar and amber. Its hard to explain but the quality is super impressive for the price point. The dry down loses the boozy quality and it becomes a cold powdery rose with subtle masculine nuances preventing it from falling into the overly feminine cosmetic purgatory of lots of powders. Longevity is pretty great, sillage is average. It's an amazing value and it might help change your mind about rose as a note! This smells ten times more expensive than it is. 8/10

#785 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is an EDP potency scent that reminds me most of Arabian Oud's "Kalemat" which I'd place in my top ten all time greats. As you'd expect, given how long the TV drama "24" has been off the air, this collection is phasing out, and certain one's are now impossible to find, even from the eBay scalpers, so get them while you can. I got this from FragranceBuy.Ca for $32. This is obviously a very oriental scent, but the rose, fruit, woods and balsam are in perfect balance. If you car pool I probably wouldn't wear this, and it's more a date night scent than office wear. A little goes a very long way. But it's pretty fabulous for a $32 EDT.

This stuff could easily be marketed by Tom Ford or Clive Christian and sold for $300 or more. It is excellent in its blending and smell. The longevity and projection seem to be above average. The smell is like nothing I have smelled before though. It literally smell like class to me. The way the rose, vanilla, and musk blend is just addictive. It leads to a creamy, subtle rose. This is definitely unisex though so if you are looking for a manly man scent stay away. This is not T shirt stuff. Suited and booted only. As always test before buying because opinions are subjective. Although Gold is good Platinum is better.

This works better for me than 24 gold, with gold I get jam and sweat, with platinum I get oud and raspberries, a potent show stopping, head turning fragrance, that gets you noticed. Huge silage and longevity. I hope as others have mentioned that it is not discontinued, as I think i will have a place for this gem in my scent wardrobe, for a long time to come

I get a lot of rose, and a blend of musk and smooth sandalwood. I think this fragrance is absolutely fantastic for the price, it's wonderfully powdery, in a good way, it lasts ages and projects very well. It's just great, the whole 24 collection is well worth owning, all so different, each bringing something to the party. Get this one and the Gold.

ohh, how i really love that so many peoples are hating this fragrance.. because i simply in love with it.. with so many people are hating it, then it means that this fragrance won't become like Dior Homme or any other hyped frgrance that i loved onced, but not anymore due to so many people using it.. Cheerio!!

Just got this today in the mail First impressions i love it! I actually get montale intense cafe with a sweeter note toward the end I'm waiting on longevity but initially another diamond by sentstory wow there a damn solid house 8.5/10 so far 2 hrs in!

amazing fragrance , lasts all day , great value for money .... but don't spray more than once else you are surely gonna have headache (actually you don't ned to spray more than once it lasts all day long ) for me its 10/10 .

Marks and Spencer now do a Autograph Noir Homme that is a weaker less refined version of this but is about 80% of what 24 Platinum smells like. This is a great fragrance and the price is even more fabulous

I would swear that this has oud in it, or at least a note that resembles it (maybe the musk and sandalwood). I like this one very much, very pleasant, mostly woody, some rose, with a bit of vanilla.

Nice scent sweet and fresh what I get, And somehow I feel it similiar vibe with Angel Schlesser Essential for men, but more powerfull of course. Still great fragrance from scentstory house, 8/10.

A very sweet, rose perfume. It is not a manly frag, a bit too sweet. Though i like the juice but i can't rate it as high as 24 gold. It really smells like Gucci Envy Me(for women). Rating: 8/10.

Really do enjoy this fragrences this house does not disappoint... not a big fan of rose but this is Mmm,feel like a wild animal with it on.

So I wrote this great review and it disappeared. So let me try this again.... Much like its counterpart Gold, 24 Platinum is sweet. But let me start by saying this isn't sweet in the vein of Blue Sugar/Pink Sugar it is sweet in the vein of Kilian Love and New Haarlem. It never becomes overbearing from a sweet perspective but for those who like sweet fragrances this is an immediate try. Now I need you (after you read this awesome review) to go to Scent Story dot com or Facebook and find 24 The Fragrance (a page) and DEMAND them to get this to the states!!!!! That means that many of you reading this review will not get a chance to smell it, so let me build your anticipation. I ended up getting this from the U.K (a decant) from my Fragrance Friend and a top notch reviewer Mastersofstyle. This opens up with a candied rose, sweet but think of Noir de Noir or Westside not really sugary. I think this is due to the vanilla not really being in the base but even in the opening. Given the top notes from here you would think it would be citrusy...but there is no need to worry. The citruses here only add to the candied/sweet effect with the juniper berries, rose and vanilla. This goes on for about 10 minutes or so..until Mr. Creamy himself (sandlewood) joins the party. The fragrance immediately begins to transition to a creamy/woody/candied rose fragrance and then as this transition is unfolding the resin kicks in. This resin gives it a balmy..danky..thickness and you can almost smell the fragrance transitioning. Now of the two fragrances (Gold and Platinum) Platinum is definitely the more complex of the two; however, that should not detour you from buying Gold..Gold will not satisfy what Platinum is doing and vice versa. So in the heart of this you have a creamy/balmy/sweet rosey (the rose is in the backgroung but on my skin noticeable and one of the many facets of the fragrance) fragrance and it is sooooo pleasing to the senses. What’s funny is I swear that they have some Oud in this one but I guess it is just the woodsy/balmy components playing with my nose. As the fragrance transitions to the base this musk kicks in and like a long distance runner it gets new life and new legs (think Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) and now you feel like you may be wearing something different. The musk is joined with some amber giving it more thickness but it never becomes crowding. The notes play so well together, especially the rose which never really goes away but sort of floats in the air sort of like dust when you can no longer really see it but you feel it. This is a WONDERFUL fragrance folks and this house has done an outstanding job. 24 should stand for the longevity because that’s what you are going to get. These things are tenacious, relentless, provacative even (much like Mr. Bauer himself)! This is smooth and creamy and sweet and thick and downright fun to wear! This is definitely not an introvert's fragrance of choice. This is an "I am here" not in a narcissistic way, but definitely in extroverted fashion. Longevity= 12+ I stop counting Projection = Must be moderated with sprays or you will reach out and touch someone. Sillage= people come find you asking is that you Scent=Tremendous! especially given the price point. Go test it, demand it here in the States then buy it!

After enjoying the sweet 24 Gold and Gold Oud pair, I was eager to try Platinum. First, the comparisons to Montale Red Aoud are valid, but they neglect the vanilla and rose that round out Platinum, which is both spicy and sweet. Galbanum is the many source of the spiciness, I'm guessing, and the citrus aspects add some sharpness. Still, this is much softer and slightly more powdery than Red Aoud, coming off even fruity at times with the juniper berries. While not the gourmand tour de force of Gold (or similarly, Gold Oud), Platinum is a fascinating combination that might prove more appealing for those that find Red Aoud to be a bit too spicy, or for those in general that prefer spicier fragrances to be tempered by other (sweet, fruity, powdery) elements. If it were slightly better I might consider buying it, as it does at least follow suit with Gold and Gold Oud's strength. 6 out of 10

I'm not usually a fan of rose scents but this is an exception. I bought this blind as i found it discounted so i thought why not its cheap. It starts with a powerful rose which i didn't like (found it quite old ladyish) with a hint of citrus. But the drydown omg! There is just a faint sense of rose but a lovely creamy yet slightly smokey vanilla with a hint of sandalwood drifting in and out. I wore it to work today and instantly got asked what i was wearing by a guy at work then at lunchtime a female colleague said i was smelling divine. It is now 13 n a bit hours since i applied this and i can still smell it, longevity is incredible! Defiantly worth a buy (even blind) because of the price you can't go wrong. (I got it for £15)! To those who can smell oud, there is an oud version available so you may of tried that by mistake because the bottle looks the same.
