Chevignon For Men

Great masculine aromatic scent. It reminds me of Rive Gauche pour homme a lot, especially in the beginning, but RG smells more, shall I say, soapy (kinda like shaving cream). Great quality of the juice, which was a pleasent surprise, since the bottle looks a bit cheap. It lasts about the same as RG on me, which can only be a compliment, considering YSL never lacked in quality and longevity of its perfumes. To me, Chevignon works its magic the most in the drydown, which is hats off, one of the better woody drydowns I experienced. Calm, aromatic, not overpowering nor overbearing - a scent to make both the one who carries it and the people around him happy - and thats whats all about when it comes to perfumes isnt it? I read some of the reviews, and see that some of the people find it aquatic, or even citrusy. I dont get that at all. Bottom line, it starts, herbal and aromatic - patchouli, juniper and basil mostly, and then it settles into wonderful woody scent where the harshness of cedar is calmed by flower notes (bunch of them judging by the pyramid here, but I can not recognize all of them when I wear it). Base is what gives Chevignon its ultimate masculinity - oakmoss leather amber, musk - what more can a guy want?

Chevignon For Men I wonder if anyone still owns or wears them....any Chevignon... Chevignon in the 90s wasn't cheap, it was stylish and Hip. This brat grew up with his Polo green and Aramis brothers...and is still kicking and in production till this day. The bottle is in the mould of a Whiskey bottle and retains it's classic look and design. It opens herbal green with the green bergamot and cirtus, gets very aromatic, has the wormwood, then comes carnation and other floras and you've got to experience the lovely drydown, the notes are rather complicated and old styled composition...But it smells awesome, very musculine, doesn't turn you off, very acceptable and easily received scent profile that even some ladies may even wear it. The projection on this is good and Silage on this is very very good and longevity seems to be at least a good 8 hours +- I think you should be able to get it for $15 Usd or $20+ Sgd at decent discounters be it older bottles or newer ones from 2020/2021... And I'm sure there are some of you with vintage bottles of this all weather juice.

My best blind buy ever! Great masculine cologne, rather classic but original in its own minimalistic way. It starts with fresh bergamot and green notes but it doesn't last long. After some 20 minutes or so, the fragrance starts to LIVE, and the very heart of that "living" is carnation mingled with caraway and leather with a bit of rose that calm down the cedar and oakmoss that appear as base notes in the end. The middle notes last pretty long and they make the best part of projection. Chevignon is an aromatic, spicy scent in its own calm way. It is masculine but not aggressive. It is strong but not cloying, it is self confident but not bragging. Of course, not for androgynous men, and the unisex lovers. EDIT: After couple of days I can say one more thing: It is balanced in a beautiful and harmonic way. Great value for the price!

This is super, really great. But it doesnt smell like polo crest, which is a nuclear bomb of oakmoss absolute (and in the best way imaginable). This smells somewhere between polo green and classic style fougeres like bowling green, eucris, even something like drakkar noir ect. Whatever the hell you wanna call this, it smells extremely high quality and perfectly representative of the classic fougere genre. And yes, there is "real oakmoss" but not on the scale of polo crest. One of my worst "wish i bought a backup bottle before prices went crazy" regrets. P.s. i have multiple bottles of cosmair polo green, polo crest, and non IFRA oakmoss absolute in addition so chevignon so good luck telling me i dont know what im talking about or that my knowledge of oakmoss is incorrect. This appears to be a contentious fragrance.

★★★★ This fragrance gets four stars for the following reasons: -It works perfectly in any weather, currently wearing it in the summer and it's glorious -Signature scent potential -A longevity of 7 hours with good sillage staying refined and classy instead of loud - If you miss the scent of vintage Ralph Lauren fragrances such as Polo or Polo Crest then this fragrance brings it all back... -...at a very good price! I don't think I need to be more thorough, just pure class, masculinity in an American casual way. (even if the brand is French) The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that unfortunately, something in the base notes (probably the amber) is very synthetic, and it cheapens the overall quality. But the perfume is so cheap it's only logical.

Chevignon is a well blended, "old school" smooth woody and herbal perfume. Its performance is very good. Reminds me of Varvatos Vintage. The dry down remains fresh and herbal. This juice is really lovely and I will replace when finished. The bottle is very well made and has a lovely classic look - in fact, it's one of my favourite bottles. This was a blind buy and a very good one.

My tester bottles says: Top note young and fresh: Wild mint - Basil - Bergamot Preserved nature in the green leaves which warm under the Tunisian sun, Oregano and Rosermary. Adventure in the middle note: Cedar and Patchuli, Canadian Pine Nostalgia with the Virginia Tobacco, the Russian Leather which enrobe the bottom note with authentic and virile.

Chevignon reminds me very much of Polo Green; they are houses right next door to each other in the same neighborhood. Here I go: I actually prefer Chevignon to Polo Green; scent is smoother, more versatile, performance is good, and prices for vintage are decent. Highly recommend.

It has been my signature perfume for almost 10 years. I am experienced in niche perfumes but it is the most wearable perfume which does not influence my mood, just provide great aura. In Europe it is so rare and unique, not so many people use this scent.

I don ́t know how it is possible to find this similar Rive Gauche, at least mine is not. Of course mine is rather old, but it ́s much more Polo than anything else. It ́s very well made.

I like vintage Chevignon. Like they say it ́s citrusy, spicey and woody, but there are also some very nice flowers. Long lasting and rather elegant, a bit similar to Jazz, which I love.

This has one of the most incredible dry downs that lasts for days on clothes. I love smelling this on a sweatshirt the next day.

Smells like my dad in the 80s, instant nostalgia. I got a free vintage mini of this with an order, I'm blown away!

In an alternate universe there exists a classic known as Polo Green Sport, and it smells like this.

If you like old school, oak moss based perfumes, you'll like this one.

This stuff smells great. It has a smooth herbal green grassiness in the same vain as Polo Green but lighter and slightly sweetened with amber, with a smooth leathery mossy base. Much cleaner and smoother than Polo Green. It's not strong and seems to project softy for a couple of hours before becoming an intimate skin scent. It would be top tear if it had better projection and longevity. This is great juice to use after a good shave when you are planning on staying in and not wanting to invade the olfactory space of your family or friends. The scent trail is subtle but very nice. Edit: it sticks around nicely on clothes

This does conjure up allusions to Polo Modern Reserve and Polo Crest. Think of a fresher, brighter, spicier Polo Green. I definitely get the basil and the bergamot in the opening. Afterwards it settles into a soft, spicy, classically masculine fragrance. Do not pay the exorbitant prices that some people are asking for this fragrance on Ebay.

This one is a masculine in the good tradition of Aramis, Gentleman and the likes. After a spicey start it turns out very leathery. All in all, this one's surprisingly mature for a hooligan brand. ***

Personally, this smells really therapeutic. I use it right before I go to sleep. When I have this on I sleep like a baby

A light, very commercial-smelling aquatic-woody fragrance with a hint of citrus and swimming-pool chlorine residue. Eventually the chlorine subsides, leaving an aquatic scent with woody-musky notes in the base. It’s OK, but not really something I would want to wear or smell on someone else. A resounding neutral on this one.
