Stand Out

#1675 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this decant from scentsplit.com. Gotta say I've love these Bruno Perucci scents. But $170 for 50ml ? It actually is pretty similar to Lalique “Ombre Noir” that goes for $55 for 100ml. I’m getting a better mint and more papyrus from the Perucci, which I absolutely love, gives it a nicer opening. Very good quality in terms of longevity and silage. But I also like the cinnamon and touch of tobacco in the Ombre Noir, and it improves a lot in the dry down as that screechy synthetic bergamot Lalique uses fades out. But so far this morning I’ve gotten a couple of compliments on this Perucci and I’ve gotten none on the Lalique when I’ve worn it, so there’s that. I think either scent works in the office or casual settings. If I use up my bottle of Lalique and this Perucci scent is still out there I’ll give it go. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

I picked this up online purely based on a reel from someone I trust, without ever smelling it beforehand. The opening is very mint-forward, but within an hour the mint softens and reveals a warm honey–mandarin aroma. I sprayed it on myself and my T‐shirt, and when I smelled the shirt the next day, I realized just how beautiful the scent is even after the mint disappears. It smells luxurious and truly unique. Overall, it’s a great versatile fragrance—one of those “joker” perfumes you can wear year-round. Highly recommended.

Very good quality stuff. Like a previous reviewer said below, this stuff is like a better quality Lalique Ombre Noir. The resins and amber accord in here is miles better than in the lalique. A problem I had with ombre noire is that it always pulled into a curry-esque direction, probably due to the blend of fig leaf and spices. Thankfully, this stuff does not. A strict upgrade scent wise, although the longevity and sillage are pretty bad.

This perfume is what i was looking for so long. The menthol in the beginning is beautiful, just like the cognac dry down. I had many niche and designer fragrances, and i easily say that i found my signature. This fragrance have a poor longetivity, but the smell is making it breathtaking. If i only have one fragrance for the rest of my life, it will be definitely this. Absolutely goregous!

I can not describe my nose as an expert one but this totally reminds me to a powerful Naxos, not so well blended as Naxos but with the same spirit and better development than the newest Naxos versions... I really like it. Mood definitely has some gems...

Great composition. Got it recommended in a niche parfume store as their voted best summer one. The idea is amazing, I would tone down boozines a bit but otherwise is great minty citrusy freshie with deep boozy woody base.

I really enjoy this fragrance and every time I smell it I get different notes

I love the notes, dries down to skin citronella candle type scent. Pleasant but reminds me of the mosquito repellent citronella. Poor longevity. 4/5. I wish the mint lasted. I only get it on the initial spray.

Ok I take it back. This is actually a unique and quite pleasant smell. It starts off very mentholated, menthol citruses and warm spices. The fragrance evolves. First the mint takes a step back, giving the citrus and warm spices the main part. Then, citruses start to fade and a honeyed spiced character takes the lead. With the heat, you’ll get some minty citruses refreshing the scent until the end. Great scent, love the opening more than the dry down, but is overall quite pleasant. Overall image is an exotic refreshing tea beverage you would get in a high end boutique.

I may be mistaken but I feel a similar vibe with The noir 29 by Le labo. I wore that one some months ago so it may not be that close, however, the overall feel goes in a similar direction. This may be a bit more fresh

It's a fresher version of PDM Layton (not a clone, just the vibe). Very nice smell but not a great performer
