Pomme d'Or

153) the treasure of the urinal Une autre création médiocre chez Evody. Il y a une similarité avec l'Eau d'Hadrien mais la qualité des matières en moins. Le parfum s'effondre vite sur sa base de cèdre et donne l'impression d'un enfant sortant des toilettes après s'être parfumé avec le désodorisant. Limite c'est gênant surtout pour le nez qui a osé créer ça. Another mediocre Evody creation. There is a similarity with the Eau d'Hadrien but the quality of contents in less. Perfume collapses quickly on its base of cedar and gives the impression of a child coming out of the toilet after perfumes himself with the deodoriser. This is annoying especially for the nose who dared create that.

This is already seen !! Another citrus dusted with an envelope, like those powdered juices that mix with water, nor citrus, nor berries, nor moss, nor lotus, well, it carries musk, that does not say so. In fact I give my two-year-old niece dihydromyrcenol (artificial citrus) and galaxolide (artificial musk) and she does this same mixture for 1 euro 100ml and you have a divine fragrance. That they make us swallow a fragrance like this: baratera, simplona, supermarket, with zero art, by a great niche (that there are) of a hundred and peak euros seems to me a mamarrachada and a big tease of hair.

4th sample I am trying and this is the very worst of the range for me. I am not a fan of simple and linear citrus smells to start with, but all I get here is 'toilet duck': they might as well sell it in a yellow plastic duck packaging. Having said that, perhaps you get a better end result by topping this on one of the most gourmand and sweet contenders of this brand. For me, it's a "no" and "I'm out!" (said like Debra Meaden)

Pale copy of Great Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien. Bad done.

This was a blind buy for me from Space.NK. This is a woody-lemony fragrance well suited to be unisex, if not leaning more in the men's range. The cedar makes this so. Even though it is listed as a basenote it can be ascertained directly at the beginning that it is pushing for dominance. The combination of juniper berries and the bergamot gives a rich sharpness oveshadowing anything the lotus is trying to accomplish. If anything it allows the juniper to not become too aggressive. Overall a well tied together scent that doesn't overwhelm even if oversprayed (oops, did I do that). That being said I would love my closets to smell like a citrusy cedar wonderland. I think if this one had a flanker a sweet note could be added, like a sugar ingredient, perhaps starfruit. P.S. But then again, maybe not. As it dries down there is a semi-sweetness that is not cloying or too feminine. Fear not, men. It will not test your masculinity.
