Fever pour Homme

If there ever was a ”cosy” fragrance, this is it. It will place you in front of a warm fireplace, feeling good and having a wonderful time with your family or friends. Christmas in a bottle! At some point I read some reviewer claim that Santa wears Fever pour Homme, and I’m sure he or she is right. After a slightly anonymous opening (very similar to Zirh Ikon) you will be greeted by a wonderful combination of incense and fir resin, spiced with a touch of rose. This smells exactly like Santa’s workshop, in my fantasy at least. An absolute joy, and if you wear it under your clothes, the enjoyment will last for a long time. Fever is one of my winter favorites and is great on a rainy day, too. It is very unobtrusive and with moderate sillage, so it can easily be worn at the office. If you like incense fragrances you should not miss this. Especially not when it is sold unbelievably cheap at online stores. Strongly recommended – and infinitely better than its cloying sibling Celine pour Homme.

A warm (but still fresh) scent. (A blind buy (again!!!) but what an surprise! The character changes a little fast, only to become a even warmer tone. Personally I don't think it's long lasting, but I absolutely love it!

Leisurely the veils lift and fall and curl in the fir perfumed air high above the valleys of India. Veils made of silk dyed a thousand years ago in saffron reds of the maharajahs golden yellows of the sheikhs and violets of the princesses of Persia. The worn but still splendid and nearly transparent with age the veils are all shot with golden threads. Here in the Himalayas in the abandoned palace of the fallen Chauhan there lingers a memory of the old gods of India. It is buried in the faded wall paintings of elephants and monkeys in jungle gardens stained with centuries of faded incense. Occasionally someone stumbles upon the lost abandoned palace on their way to Kathmandu and beyond in search of fabled Shangri-La. When sudden twilight traps them here they crawl into sleeping bags laid out on old woven vetiver mats and turn to the walls against the bitter early spring cold night. They huddle in corners way from the broken sandalwood fretwork windows and fall into exhausted sleep. It is only then when the fever dreams of the searchers come upon their heavily closing eyes does this place reveal its secrets. The painted monkeys awaken in the walls and begin to chatter as they eat petals of pink jungle roses and cardamom seeds and look down upon the sleeping visitors. Musk deer bound from one wall though a cracked plaster corner to the next. A bull Elephant trumpets a call to the herd to move deeper into the now steaming lush forest away from the river where the sage grows. A hundred or more eyes open within the green painted fronds of palm, bamboo and rubber trees. Brown kohl painted and deep the imperious eyes look down upon the mortals who have invaded their sacred palace. A far radiant and distant music, ethereal, primal and sensual comes from deep within the walls. The eyes in the forest fronds shift to the windows of the palace and the veils flutter separating the world within from the mountains of the Himalayas. The monkeys laugh like humans as the veils swirl to the music of the gods in seductive undulation. Within the silk shot with gold are a thousand dancers moving as one. The world of dreams is alive and floats inches above the sleeping men. Those mortals who paralyzed to myth and magic have forgotten how to dream. Upon the touch of the orange fingers of the first rays of dawn the air stills. The veils fall straight again and the painted walls fade to amber hues and only the memory of burned incense hangs in a Morpheus cloud above the now stirring bodies of the strangers. Awake at first light to push on in search of Shangri-La not knowing they have just spent the night within its very walls. *************************************************** Fever Pour Homme by Celine is a remembered dream of incense perfume. It lies lightly upon the skin where is stays close and soft. It opens with a fresh whiff of mountain sharp fir and a spicy sweet cardamom. This aromatic opening gives way fast to the lightly smoky incense which is the main focus of this perfume. Not heavy catholic incense but rather ethereal eastern and almost balmy incense. This note is made more interesting by the rose and at the same time tamed a bit by the dry influence of sage. There is a solid masculine dry down of a sturdy blending of sandalwood, patchouli, musk and vetiver toward the end it becomes paper dry. Fever is not a spectacular oriental incense perfume but rather a dreamy dry woody spicy well blended perfume that is light enough to wear in close quarters and still get away with a touch of glamour in the burning of incense cones. For what it is, the silage is light thus it has the ability to capture the attention of those who come into close orbit. Once they are within range, say kissing range, the gravity of the perfume will pull them closer and you will more likely than not have a complement to deal with. The longevity is moderate, about five hours at most on me. A short duration for me is no problem. I enjoy the ceremonies involved of perfume application. There is a sensuous joy I find in that act. In the end there is much to be said for a subtle touch in a perfume. This is a nice change of pace when you are felling exotic but you don’t want to awaken the gods by ringing every gong in the temple. FOUR GOLD STARS ****

I really like this and it was a bargain price. Initially there is pine but also a crisp freshness and warmth behind it. Strong cardamom fades in. It dries down to spicy and peppery. It is a lovely masculine, warm, spicy comforting fragrance. Early on the sillage is pretty good, but after a short time it stays very close to your skin. The longevity on me is good (up to 7 hours) BUT it is quite subtle and doesn't project for most of this time. With extra sprays it projects reasonably for 4 hours and lasts as a skin scent for about 10hrs. It doesn't make it into my favourites list but I like it a lot and would buy again.

Its a nice fragrance... but nothing from another world. It doesn't last that long but the smell is nice. I've bought it at a cheap price in an 50ml bottle so I'm not unhappy with it.

I like it. Quite subtle smokey/spicey/flowery. Great smell of wood in drydown. Quality.

This is great. It's like someone is walking behind you with a mabkhara.

I prefer this one to the many "niche" fragrances that focus on the dry woody/incense idea. This one has that element, but it's a bit softer and less "in your face," and so for me it's more wearable. The quality may not be quite as good, but I think it's close enough for all but the most demanding aficionados. I find it much more "natural" than Tumulte Pour Homme, for example. However, it seems to be discontinued and hard-to-find now, so if you like these kinds of fragrances, I suggest picking up a bottle if you can find one that is still selling at reasonable prices.

I found this very cheap so decided to take a risk. I am glad I did because it's great. Celine is not very well known in England and could easily be confused with Celine Dion...which is never a good thing. The scent starts off with a nice fir resin note which makes a welcome change from the usual bergamot/citrus opening. Once the frankincense joins the party and mixes with the cardamom the scent relaxes to a top-notch fragrance with respectable lasting power.

This fragrance smells great! I get Azzaro visit completely. The only problem for me is the subtlety. It's so subtle that after about 20 minutes, I can't smell it on me anymore. It might be different in the humidity and warm weather but in the winter, this fragrance is a no go for me.

Absolutely excellent scent. I love it and my girlfriend loves it. Great longevity and reasonable sillage. I'm tempted to buy the other Celine male fragrance to see if it's also good. Pity there's no chance to test it. None of our local stores carry Celine line. 4.5/5 from me

Very traditional. Similar to Polo Original (green bottle).I guess it is the pine smell. Very long lasting
