Eau De Parfum

Absolutely gorgeous. Be warned though who ever voted up the lavender is kidding themselves. Lavender is a soft barely noticeable contributor. No, this my friends is a beautiful Slightly sweet orange zest, complimented with dried herbs mostly the coriander backed up by sage. The orange is slightly bodied out by a slightly syrupy neroli. The cinnamon is vague and dusty with vetiver making this dry but fresh as a a tiny smattering off dry tobacco almost giving a slight tea leave feel - think of a more herbaceous dry and fresher Hermes Concentre D’Orange and without the dark mossy patchouli. All the other notes here are complimentary. For me this sits somewhere between Charenton Macerations Christopher Street, Bruno Fazzolari Five Eau (Which are two of my top faves) and Hermes Concentre D’Orange. It’s a teeny bit soapy so not as dry as Christopher Street and Five Eau. Better than average bubble and longevity makes this a great buy. A nice barber shop aromatic. Very fresh for any time of the year, whatever the weather.

Like rolling through a field of tulsi grown by your herbalist friend in Upstate New York. Warm but refreshing, with prominent mint and clove notes. I can understand the tiger balm association, as the mint/clove combo results in a similar warming-cooling sensation, but it's not as camphorous or mentholated. Refreshing and invigorating, what more could you want in an aromatic? The gorgeous bottle and charming packaging design doesn't hurt either. If this smells like Drakkar Noir ... I guess I like Drakkar Noir! ETA: quickly became my late-summer signature; good tenacity--even transferred to a partner's shirt who could smell it for a week.

Love the orange in the opening, followed by cloves and cardamom. Dry down is very classy. Easily a signature gentleman scent. Has a touch of old style vibe, but in an intriguing way. Suggest a strong personality. Sillage it's ok in the first 3 hours, good longevity. Can be worn all year round in my opinion.

good and could be gorgeous as i love mint but the big animalic/ coriender note putts me off :-)

Long awaited perfume and finally it is in my hands. How i wish it was destroyed by customs. This perfume is like a mix of Drakkar and Vietnamese star balm. Its raw, herbal, so massive in its presense, and longevity is longer than i can possibly count under this perfumes attack. So very sad about this experience and dont know what to do with the bottle. Only for hardcore oldschool lovers.

On my skin I get a disgusting underlining of B.O. with a hint of green covering it. Dark dank Green.
