Crazy Hours

I don't mean to slag off this collection because on the whole, they ain't too bad but this was very lack lustre to wear and yet again, forgettable, for me. I've nothing against a throwaway, fruity musk, mildly floral too, and that's what we have here, but it doesn't interest me or spark the fragrance enthusiast in me to want to find something I love about it. It didn't really make me feel much. However, and for those that don't know, The Crazy hours is an iconic watch from Franck Muller which has a sort of quirky but still seriously luxurious feel. This does for me represent the sort of rainbow colours of the disordered dial of a crazy hours timepiece so I think the brief has been met, and you can't ask for much more. The citrus and higher end qualities of this did remind me of a Creed or similar type fragrance, but again you'd have to really be a big fan of Franck Muller or a collector of branded niche perfume like this to be attracted to it, and I'm just not. That' not to say that I don't want one of the beautiful flacon from FM because they are very nice looking and not outrageously priced either compared to some brands. I think Muller have given some thought to the perfumes in this line, not just jizzed out a load of cynical, generics as a watch brand trying to move into another luxury market might do but as a result of this appeal to the masses, haven't taken any risks, and why would they? True blue, hardcore fragrance fans will probably have nothing to see/sniff here, but some might be snared by the luxury and association with quality, because I doubt anyone would say this perfume is innovative.

Citrusy opening with some spices on a woody base. The wood becomes more prominent pass the opening, makes it sort of like woody/blue fragrance. Like @holocene reviews below, it smells like typical men designer fragrances. I mean it does smell better and arguably more well made than the usual mens designer frags, but its just another designer fragrance with a niche price tag. Nothing spectacle beside a beautiful bottle and spectacular presentation. Ways overprice for what it is and definitely not worth a niche price tag.

Brought a sample of this because I love the Crazy Hours watches by Franck Muller, so I thought I’d give it go. I have no idea who ‘Babish’ is, as all the comments are mentioning (though now I’m curious!) Anyway, this is labelled unisex on here, but I feel it leans *waaaaay* more masculine. I feel it has ‘that’ smell a lot of masculine fragrances do, like that very common mens cologne or deodorant smell, my nose is not good at finding notes or different ‘dimensions’ in these type of masculine fragrances. I smell all sorts of citruses on first spray, then all I smell on the dry down is a peppery and ozonic type of smell. If anyone is interested in the sample of this and is in the UK, please PM me. It’s 2ml.

Ha! Same - anybody get their nose on it yet? Looks like a pretty classic citrus aromatic. He also chose his bourbon well, if you want a smooooooooth bourbon Basil Hayden's is a great choice.

Binging with babish brought me here lol
