Gin

In the opening, for just a fleeting moment, I get a note that reminds me cypress, which reminds me a bit of Amouage Bracken Man. Then it quickly settles into a citrus/patchouli thing that’s not unlike Zara Vibrant Leather or Montblanc Explorer. Sadly, the longevity is entirely too fleeting. This is a lovely, masculine, fresh, woody juice. Projection is close to the skin. Longevity is maybe 5 or 6 hours before its completely gone, which is unfortunate.

This house has some of the best scents out at the best prices available. This is a must try. Very unique and different.

This fragrance pretty much opens smelling like gin and soda with a squirt of lime and a breezy oceanic quality. There is also a pleasant sweetness to the opening. I like! As it transitions, within a few minutes I am beginning to pick-up some of that eucalyptus and woods with the gin accord starting to fade into the background. Still, it's nice. About a half-hour late this fragrance has moved into the drydown and I am sending the musk push forward and patchouli step forward. Moreover, while the gin accord has really toned down, it is still present...although it is giving off a big of that sour-mash vibe that is present is fragrances such as Le Dandy. There is also a bit of an herbal/vegetal quality developing in the background of this blend, which is my least favorite phase. Performance is not-so-good in that is last 3 or so hours on my skin, projects moderately for the first hour, and then becomes a skin-scent thereafter. Overall, Commodity Gin is an interesting fragrances, but it does not suit my style and performance is a deal killer. Hopefully others will have better luck with this one than I.

Gin by Commodity is a fresh and juicy sunny day scent. It opens with a massive sea spray of bergamot anchored by hints of eucalyptus and musk. Jasmine and white florals sneak into the background and quietly whisper their fragrant qualities inviting sandalwood and patchouli to join the fray. This is a very nice, casual afternoon scent. Sillage and longevity are moderate at best. Note: you can purchase a massive bottle of Pinaud Clubman’s Lime Sec that will do the same thing for under $10.

Lovely but not powerful scent. Received a discovery kit with many different scents. Very faint eucalyptus with jasmine on a very subtle woody base. Maybe a tinge of leather just on top of the woods. Not particularly strong in projection but lovely as a personal scent. A quick whiff reminds me of a bright refreshing gin maybe with cucumber and lime dropped in but as above the notes skin to nose show a different make up. Only a bargain purchase for me.
