Charriol Eau de Parfum Pour Homme

A SWEET JEWEL IN THE SHAPE OF A ROPE A good restaurant essentially has to serve good food, but that's not its only objective. A good chef must be a great cook and also a skilful artist to make a strong visual impression with any dish they prepare. The fragrance community demands the same. We all want a divine scent in the perfumes we buy, but appearance is also very important. The brand's signature begins with the presentation of the bottle and box. Charriol is a Swiss luxury watch and jewellery manufacturer founded in 1983 by a French entrepreneur, Philippe Charriol. It produces expensive fashion jewellery, watches, accessories and fragrances. With this kind of history, you'd expect beautiful bottle designs, as we all already do in the case of Bvlgari, Mauboussin and Lalique perfumes for example. All the Charriol bottles I own are very elegant, and Charriol Pour Homme EDP is no exception. Philippe Charriol, a lover of art and history, was the first jeweller to use braided gold cables, or steel cables, as decorative motifs. We can also see this influence in perfume bottles. It's a truly masculine design with a strong presence. The bottle is square, solid and powerful. On the sides, it features steel cable motifs, the Charriol signature. The bottle is a pleasure for the eyes! Philippe Charriol was also a racing car addict and in 2019, aged 77, he died in a tragic racing accident on the Circuit Paul Ricard racetrack. This perfume develops a seductive allure through its spicy sensuality and masculinity. The perfume is spicy and florally sweet, on a frame of amber and leather. It opens very spicy with a soft earthy black pepper and massive cinnamon, bittersweet and sensual. The jasmine becomes evident with a narcotically sweet chord, which blends perfectly with a dark, animalic, almost pungent leather note, typical of well-crafted cured leather goods. The floral and spicy sweetness, together with the fine leather, last until the final phase. The fragrance now reveals a masculine woody blend of vetiver with a warm, sweet and balsamic amber. The drydown is all about this amber frame, ensuring the sweet notes mingle and an almost faintly enchanting leather. This fragrance shows some similarities with the 1 Million family - particularly with 1 Million Privé - but has its own individuality. With three sprays on the skin, the performance is above average. The fragrance lasts up to 8 hours with a silage of 5~6 feet and a reasonable projection for 2 hours. Ladies really like this fragrance and it's very suitable for an elegant party or going clubbing. How does Charriol EDP adapt to the metrics? ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Scent opening: 8.0 (various spices, heavy cinnamon and sweet jasmin) - Scent Dry Down: 8.0 (amber and tamed leather) - Longevity: 8.0 (8 hours on my skin, with 3 sprays) - Sillage: 7.5 (sillage peeking at 5~6 feet, projecting for 2 hours) - Versatility: 7.5 (average versatily of a sweet/gourmand fragrance, expressing itself better in Spring and Fall, at ease in Winter days and in Summer nights) - Usability: 8.0 (Don't use it in any occasion requiring a fresh scent) - Compliments: 9.0 (This scent is a compliment magnet. You will smell manly and sexy and in general ladies do notice this fragrance with pleasure) - Uniqueness: 7.5 (It could an EDP flanker of 1 Million.

It attracts a lot of compliments. Recommended? I recommend this perfume provided that you like masculine sweet fragrances. Blind buy worthy? It's better that you don't blind buy it. Try it first. But if you are a clubbing addict or an "1 Million" lover, go ahead and buy it. The price is more than Ok. Music: Eurythmics - "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This"

Much better than 1 Million to me so I'm dubbing this one " 1 Billion"! A truly masculine bottle with instant presence : square, solid, powerful. The center of the glossy black lacquered bottle is adorned by a luxurious gold plate engraved with Charriol’s name. The rectangular black cap is bordered in glossy gold. On the sides, sculpted in the black glass, the famous steel motif cable, Charriol’s DNA. The fragrance opens a bit sweet and spicy with the Jasmine, Cinnamon and black pepper leading the way after 30 to 45 minutes the leather and amber take charge for hours while the teak anchors the base until the end. Longevity on me is a solid 8 to 10 hours with awesome projection of a good 3 to 4 hours. Scent trails are still evident through the dry-down. The fragrance develops an irresistible seductiveness, appealing through its spicy sensuality and sensitive masculinity. Great fragrance. Highly recommended.

I got a huge compliment the first time I wore this! The first person I approached while wearing this told me that I smelled really good and even asked me what it was almost instantly. I was a little blown away because the room was big and they smelled me pretty quick. This stuff does project a great deal but no need to worry because it smells absolutely great! This house is totally looked over sometimes. I wish people would talk about their fragrances more. Charriol is a great house from what I've tried and read about. I would like to try more from them in the future. I highly recommend Charriol Pour Homme for compliments and standing out and getting noticed in the evening or night. This is similar to PR 1 Million but stronger and a bit darker!

Charriol Eau de Parfum Pour Homme Charriol for men in my humble opinion it's the best by Charriol that I encountered so far ( the leather with Black Paper & Cinnamon ) are really making wonders on my skin , every time I wear it I fell simply Rich. Scent : 9/10. Longevity : 10 hours. Projection : 5 - 6 hours. Bottle design : Marvelous & Mysterious.

Charioll take on Paco Rabbane -1 million. More intense, but pleasant enought.
