Brezza Gentile

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone that won’t think that this smells great. It is VERY similar to the original Pour Homme from 2 years ago... Only, much better. This is a more refined version that is not ruined by the overdose of Ambroxan that the Pour Homme has. How cypress is not listed in the notes is incredible. It’s still an Aventus knock-off, but a far more complex and refined interpretation than that cheap fragrance. Lastly: Really pleasant scent, horribly ugly presentation (bottle).

Another great release by BC. Although, not unique or bold, it's very well blended and a very pleasant scent. The mid and dry down are sublime! There is a particular note that is capturing, maybe the patchouli. Very versatile and safe. Ideal as an office or causual scent for a mature gentleman. If this was more reasonably priced then I would recommend it. Moreover, this should be sampled first, as a blind buy might not live up to expectation based on the price.

It is an addictive quiet scent. Lasts quite a long time on me. Tried it in store and was already in love with it. Given the price I was hesitant to buy it at first but I kept thinking about it and finally decided to go back and buy the full bottle. Now it is my signature go to scent!

This one is the most classy of the new line. Similar to Pour Homme though more leathery/peppery.

Got a sample of this at the store. It's extremely pleasant (even slightly addictive) - though, patchouli for me always reminds of those scent diffusers or perfumed spaces, less like a human fragrance. At best it smells like a scented shampoo. The bitter orange helps make it a bit more interesting and less generic, but it is too faint for me. I don't sense ambroxan at all. Because it's so simple and generic and "room-like", it's also very unisex - and makes no statement really other than "minty fresh clean and breezy". It has linearity that I wouldn't look for in a pricey fragrance. Finally, in terms of performance this feels very weak to me - with virtually non-existent projection. If it had x10 times the projection and the roles of the orange and the patchouli were reversed, it would have been interesting to me. As it is - this is more like how I'd want my living room to smell like, not how I would like to smell like myself. Overall, wouldn't mind being sprayed by this, but I don't see myself making a purchase.
