Elvis

First review of this? Talk about a hidden gem. The article linked to above, written by Sergey Borisov, calls Elvis by Elvis Fragrances a "black fougère". interesting. I blind bought a bottle and am wearing it now. Its beautiful, with my immediate thought on a comparison frag being Boss Number One, without the honey. Also, there are some aspects, like the cinnamon, reminding me of Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men. Ultimately, I think I like the Boss Number One more than Elvis and Giorgio, as Boss is creamier, more billowy and honeyed in the drydown. Elvis and Giorgio have a bit more prickly drydown that is ever so slightly more challenging. I'm not familiar with the other comparisons mentioned in that article: black Santos de Cartier, O.J.. Perrin Homme, Baie de Genievre Creed (although it seems I smelled this once, or maybe a clone of it) or Lippizan Parfums de Marly. I have yet to try Alain Delon Classic as well. Elvis doesn't smell very similar to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme to my nose, though. There is a bit of funk going on, especially in the opening. Elvis' scent profile harkens back 5 or 10 years from its release date of 1991. By that time, the trend was to "clean up" scent profiles. But be careful with sprays. Like Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men, the cinnamon, combined with the Sage, Nutmeg, Geranium, Cypress and fir, and all combined with the vintage Oakmoss, really pounds the nostrils.Two sprays only. But this is great stuff.
