Elvis Jesus For Him

I picked this up for about 11 pounds in the UK, for that price this is absolutely insane! I get a slightly more 'carbonated' and less intensely woody TDH. The performance isn't the best but for a summers evening at a BBQ or a few hours with the family at the park this is perfect! Really clever presentation, a solid fragrance and an insanely low price make this both blind buy worthy and a great introduction to the TDH DNA!

Mostly cedar and citrus. Is it just my bottle or don't people know how cedar wood smells?

Well well well what to say about this fragrance! I certainly see the comparisons to Terre D'Hermes and Penhaligons Bayolea, with Bayolea being the opening, minus the sharp lemongrass note and Terre D'Hermes being the dry down. This feels so clean and masculine in all the correct ways, it almost has a liqorice vibe to it in part to the vetiver and patchouli perhaps. I paid £15 for this here in the UK from the fragrance shop and have to say it's one of the best blind buys I have made. The presentation is also really top notch too, from the pictures online you'd think it were quite cheap but it really isn't. Bravo to this brand for this piece of work, a real shame there is nothing else from them!

This is a review of Elvis Cologne, which I'm guessing was marketed in the 1980s (Empire style bottle). This would be a unisex niche scent today, as it is powdery, ambery, animalic, spicy, and quite heavy. Someone said he smelled apples at first, and there is some sort of fruitiness for a while. He also said there is tobacco but I think that's castoreum (in combination with some of the other notes). This could be a Serge Lutens scent, but I actually like the smoothness of this one better than most of the Lutens I've sampled. Also, it doesn't smell "synthetic" at all. I thought it might be similar to something like Sex Appeal for Men, but it's considerably better, IMO.

I never buy stuff for the packaging, but I did with this. My wife, who doesn't care a jot about my collection, said it was the coolest looking aftershave I owned. The packaging, and bottle, are great. Then the scent. This is tdh, as said before, but a bit lighter. Very nice. If I had paid £100 for this, i'd give it a 7/10. Not bad, but not wonderful. As it cost me £16 including delivery, I'm giving it 11/10. A bonus point being awarded for the quailty of the bottle/lid, and having the coolest box of any fragrance I've come across. This is fantastic.
