Hempstead

This fragrance is finally listed on Fragrantica! Woo-hoo! I thoroughly enjoy this fragrance. It is a vetiver-cypress bomb as the bottle says, and it performs very, very well. I have received comments from my wife that this is beast-mode.. projecting like a monster.. she even mentioned it's a bit of an aggressive, masculine scent even though it's marketed as unisex. It is an EDP, so go lightly on the sprayer. The bottle with atomizer is high quality. It is not available anymore at A&F, so I'm guessing it would be expensive to pick up a bottle on eBay or similar. It's a pretty linear fragrance, but it smells amazing. I'm glad to have owned it.. and I hope I can make it last a long time.

This one is a younger, softer version of Encre Noire. The performance is amazing. It's long-lasting and projects very well in Fall weather when temperature dip into the 50-60.

Absolute favorite I’ve owned, wish I could find it again.

Smells like Aventus without pineapple and the other fruity notes (apple, bergamot, black currant). The smokey vetiver in this fragrance reminds me a lot of birch wood, which is tbe most prominent woody note in Aventus. I also smell a tinge of Sauvage Elixir, its got to be the Haitian vetiver in Elixir. The vetiver is really noticeable in sauvage elixir.
