Iso Gamma Super

This is such a great simple fragrance! First spray smells almost like rubbing alcohol, but wait- Then comes a very mild realistic cedar wood scent, then........ it disappears. But wait! Then it comes back as a full-on realistic cedar wood. So awesome! Smells exactly like a cedar storage chest, a bag full of freshly shaven cedar chips or freshly milled cedar. Yes, it is ISO E Super, but the composition is very quality. Actually, my favorite ISO and I wear it alone, not as a fragrance booster. It is so simple and so yummy. I can’t stop smelling wherever I have it sprayed. This is more of a personal scent, people in your personal space will smell it, you will smell it but it doesn’t throw. You will leave a faint trail of clean, natural cedar/woodiness behind you but you’re not going to knock anyone over with the overbearing strength of your perfume. Lasts about 6 hours, close to skin, I can still smell a mild trace the next morning. If you love real cedar or other woods, you should try. If you’re looking for Terenzi strength, this isn’t for you.

I love this, it’s clean and woody but doesn’t smell like straight up men’s cologne, it’s suitable for anyone. Upon first spritz I literally cannot smell anything, like, anything at all but after a few seconds the smell start developing and it’s super comforting. I just wish this was stronger/had better projection because I absolutely love this scent. I might wear it layered with other perfumes! PS: this is incredible, I kept getting wafts of it all day. I sprayed it on my arms and neck and kept thinking: what’s this awesome smell? However when I bring my nose to where I sprayed it I can smell nothing... I don’t know what kind of black magic this is, it lingers and comforts me for hours but I can’t smell it on my skin. Odd. But lovely nonetheless.

So subtle I almost didn't catch it at first, but it is a wonderful close skin scent. Makes sense that it would be tough to smell off the bat if it's using Iso E Super or something like that as an ingredient since it's such a huge molecule. Once it has a chance to sit on your skin awhile, it's a sweet, subtle woody smell, fresh like cedar but not nearly as strong. I just saw that it can be worn alone or as an amplifier for other scents and figuring out what this goes well with sounds like it'd be a cool experiment. Maybe trying it with something with a lot of top notes? Could be fun!

Absolutely incredible molecule perfume, woefully underrated. I got this for myself but my boyfriend started wearing it and when he does I absolutely can’t keep my hands off him. Every once in awhile you get a whiff of it but it isn’t strong or overpowering. Just clean and beautiful and sexy. I can see why people might not like this, especially if you’re used to designer perfumes that smell very perfume-y. This does not. Instead it’s a backdrop, ever present but not announcing itself. Subtle and sexy and gorgeous. So sad this is likely discontinued.

If this is only on my skin, like if it’s just on my wrists, I have a rough time getting anything from it. But if it’s on fabric that sits close to my skin, like long sleeves or a crew-neck shirt, I get frequent wafts of warm, dry woods all day long. All day. While this could be worn alone as described above, my favorite way to wear it is by layering with something fresh and kind of sweet - for example, I’ve got Armani Acqua di Gioia on as well today, and they’re a dream together.
