Republic of Men

Unlike the Republic of Women the top and mid notes of this disappears fast if sprayed on the skin. Although the base is not so bad, I would have preferred the other notes stayed longer. Of course, the effect is different on fabrics. A bit tricky where and how to apply it. Overall this is very nice, complex, unique, has a little similarity to known fragrances but still unique on its own. Great for evening parties or even everyday office wear.

sweet, my kind of perfume ... my disillusion, life[Longevity) is short on my skin. to bad because it really is a cool perfume

This stuff smells amazing, not too many people know about this masterpiece, luckily I have the pleasure of owning a bottle...

Got a discounted bottle of ROM recently and after trying and comparing it with several better known signature brands, I was amazed at the quality and performance of Republic of Men. The main note that stays is the sweet plum, but it's beautifully offset by the herbal greens, the hint of jasmine, and the dry woody notes. The sandalwood is there but quite mild. It's creaminess and musky drydown provide a great counterpoint to the sweetness of the plum and fleeting clementine, giving off a vibe similar to the drydown of Chanel's Allure Edition Blanche EDP. Minus the hefty pricetag of course. I think this underrated fragrance would do well both in casual and more formal occasions. Longevity could be better. Quite inoffensive and doesn't get cloying since it softens eventually. I was lucky to have gotten the last bottle. If you find it, try it and I think you'll discover why some call it a hidden gem.

Very plummy and powdery it’s gorgeous! Good scent to wear to church or maybe a wedding. I don’t believe you can even find this scent anymore. I got mine ten years ago as a gift. Great scent! I’m very impressed with the house. They pick some great noses for these frags! I’m smelling black platinum right now and this is niche level good.. well worth the 50 bucks they run on discounters and even better if you are lucky to snag them at rack stores for 19.99.. 7/10
