Slate

EXCELLENT 8/10 as far as scent profile and wearability and being an all around uplifting, pleasant fragrance. Banana Republic Slate for Men fragrance is dirt cheap and is extremely linear ... but also is extremely bright, uplifting and pleasant. I would call it a Spicy Green Floral. Clary Sage isn't like culinary sage that's typically used for cooking, but instead it provides vegetal (green) qualities as well as perceived clean, masculine FLORAL qualities that mix with the heavy dose of spicy ginger which creates a beautiful, spicy herbal floral fragrance. I'm a huge fan of woody florals and herbal/green florals and this simple fragrance combines everything to near perfection and at a super budget friendly price. If you already enjoy Banana Republic Classic GREEN perfume, then you will most definitely enjoy this fragrance, too. So ... buy it ... overspray it and ENJOY it for around 3-4 hours max.

My lovely girlfriend recommended for me to get this and I did since she has great taste. Cost me around 25 ish dollars and that was around August of last year, 100 ml. This fragrance is very nice, i don’t like describing fragrances by vague accords or by notes that don’t make sense, but to ME and from the batch I got, it’s both a floral and aromatic spicy smell. The ginger obviously giving it that spice but the clary sage mixing smoothly and giving it a smell that goes great during the hotter days. Spring time stunner, especially for rainy days or just cooler sunny ones, the one downside is longevity so definitely overspray and apply some lotion. 8/10, just wish it lasted longer but overall amazing scent

I really love Slate. It's a sweet, clean, fresh and simple linear fragrance. It has quite a bit of character too. There is some herbal soapiness there which I love, plus I think it's unique. Longevity and silage are moderate. My bottle is the same shape but is just glass with a black top and the juice is purple. In fact, it's a lovely little bottle. Right now, I'm getting a beautiful silage wafting up from this. Jean-Marc Chaillan has blended this beautifully in my opinion. *Update* Slate hasn't got an effective silage and it's staying power is weak - shame. If this were more powerful, it would be a real gem.

Never smelled anything sexier than this cologne on a man. Sad it’s discontinued. Update: found it on Amazon and gifted it to my husband. (He accidentally opened my mail so I was bummed out because I wanted to surprise him, but he seemed to like it. He rarely wears cologne because he likes to use it when he’s going out and he’s mostly a homebody. I’ve only smelled it on someone else, and hoping it doesn’t give me mixed feelings about it when he does put it on. Smells gorgeous though.

Beautiful perfume, considering that it has only two notes in the composition. A fresh scent, with a little grassy scent and small metallic shades. Who loves Ck-one, Azzaro-Chrome, Lacoste-essential will surely like this one too. It has a little of each. Too bad it is no longer sold in its original form (wooden box and metal lid), now you can find it in a much cheaper presentation. But even so, it is still worth the money, around 20 € on some sites.
