Best of Chevignon

I have the last one of this perfume, and no one have it anymore at my country, Indonesia. I'm affraid this perfume is discontinue now.

This was my first perfume as a young male teen of 15 or 16 years old.(it was 1995 or 1996 ) I'm french so of course I know Chevignon. At that time if you had Chevignon school bags, jacket and so on, it meant you were from the upper class. That perfume was marketed as for men, actually young mens. You couldnt go outside without seeing the ad everywhere of a very cute and sexy young men ( probably an 18 y old guy) at any bus stop along with sexy tv commercials. I guess that's why I bought it having no reference in perfume. I used very few drops because in high school you dont want people to notice you are wearing a perfume unless they are very close to you. So the fact that it has no "trail effect" is very good for teen boys and it's also a light smell which is good. In the end I think I closed the bottle too strongly and the glass bottle ruptured around the cap..so I had to put the perfume in a random spray bottle.. Anyway I'm a bit disappointed to see they re market it to "unisex" as when you'r 15 you want to prove you'r a men. you dont want something a girl can wear.. But it's also true that when you are 15-17 you need something light, not a strong musk thing. thats why ozone based perfume therefore unisex perfume are more recommended for teen boys, it's definitely more classy than a strong smell. When you get older you can switch to the Chevignon for men with its leather base note.

Best of Chevignon is a unisex fresh fragance. The opening is ozonic, citrusy-fruity, I smell marine notes too. The middle is also citrus with the bourbon geranium note.The base is woody but not heavy, always clean and refreshing. Nice for summer and daily use, very energetic. A quality fragance with a decent sillage and longevity

This is a nice, light and bright fragrance, great for the warmer seasons. To my nose, it is 80% the same as Truefitt & Hill's 1805, which was created 190 years earlier than Best of Chevignon. I prefer 1805, which is even brighter and fresher and has far better longevity and sillage.

I managed to snap a bottle of up at TK Maxx for cheap in Jan. I definitely agree on the Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme similarities in the dry down. This seems to be discontinued now but you can typically get Pour Homme for cheap in most places these days.
