Mr. Sillage

Mr Sillage. A tribute to a great man and a great reviewer. Gone too soon. The fragrance that inspired this was Mr Sillage's favorite fragrance...Jo Malone Myrhh and Tonka. It opens with a strong incense with some sweet tonka bean. Then the vanilla comes in. I don't get much of the almond, but I imagine it is there with the underlying creaminess underneath the myrhh, tonka, and vanilla. I get about 10 hours out of it. 3-4 hours of projection. I cannot vouch as to how much it smells like the Jo Malone since I have not smelled that one. All I can say is this fragrance is a beautiful and fitting tribute to a fantastic human being.

Similar to the OG, this is a beautiful sexy tonka fragrance! Opens with a pinch of lavender and the tonka/myrrh combo, letting you know right from the start what you are getting. The dry down brings this combo well into the forefront. A sweet and romantic blend of the two. Perfect for winter, fall and evenings. Very seductive in an understated way. Vanilla is only in the background adding depth. Longevity and performance are above average. Certainly a great inspiration and extremely similar to the OG. Certainly worth getting a sample. If you really enjoy tonka, probably will be bottle worthy.

This is a great tribute to a fallen member of the community. This inspiration of Myrrh and Tonka is a powerhouse of a fall/winter scent. I purchased this on release and had to allow it settle for 4 weeks. Once i did, it became its name. SILLAGE was HUGE. I got a "OPEN THE WINDOW" from my wife on 4 sprays. BTW, she loves it, but it was filling the house. Longevity is 8+ hours.

Fitting tribute to Chris. This is STELLAR juice to remember a STELLAR guy! Gone but not forgotten.

I get tonka, myrrh, vanilla, and lavender, but I can't detect the almond. This is one of those scents that I like.....I just don't love. I think, for me, it's the myrrh that's too pronounced. I've had this sample for a week now, and I've worn it once, but frankly now as I smell it on paper, it does seem to have changed since the time I wore it. This one might need to sit awhile and I'll come back to it. Update: Well, I let it sit for almost a month and now, I think it's moved from like to love. Whereas before, there was no sweetness to the tonka/vanilla, now there is a faint essence of sweetness coming though with a touch of almond that I couldn't detect before. It's a much improved scent.
