The Window

I was gifted a sample kit for Christmas of Folton & Roark .ini decants. I've never smelled the Jimmy Choo fragrance The Window is (allegedly) similar to, but I am REALLY liking The Window, like ALOT! It smells quite a bit like "natural jasmin", while being quite "Unisex" with a slight masculine lean. It's a pretty "Dapper" fragrance, and Im just lovimg the veeery soft leather note which for me, I wouldnt even be able to tell it's "Leather", buy when I found out the leather note is in there, it made complete sense. Again, I LOOOVE how unique this fragrance smells (Probably the weird Sand note?), and how very dapper it smells. It teminds me of a modern, young to middle aged business man (or woman) and I feel it would even make a fantastic signature scent. Man. I sprayed it on my hand, and Im getting concerned bc I just know im going to struggle with NOT spending the $200 bucks on a fragrance! Especially since I own a ridiculous amount already. This is the sort of fragrance which is NOT a "crowd pleasing" sorta fragrance, and so I fear it may get axed before I pull the trigger.. The pressure!! Lol. Excellent longevity, sillage. Theres an oil sheen left on the back of my hand and its been an hour since I spritzed it, and its wafting from my hand to my nose and its GORGEOUS! I love unique fragrances with a very unique edge! I.o, its a 10 outta 10 fragrance, just hope that I dont give into temptation, or that if I do try getting it later on that its still available. Thanks to whomever took time to read my review!

this is nearly identical to Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Le Parfum. not as sweet as there's no praline, but close enough to be redundant. That said, I ADORE this one and will replace IWC lp with this if I ever run out.

I like this one a lot. It's a soft floral scent that leans masculine. It is close to the new Dior Homme Parfum, not exactly the same but same profile.

the window is a more masculine floral fragrance. it definitely smells way different depending on your skin, so make sure to buy a sample first and take this review with a grain of salt! the window is hard to describe. theres a synthetic leather note but its surprisingly subtle under the florals. it smells sophisticated, a little smokey, a little leathery, and the "ethereal ghost blossoms" are definitely there alongside the sweeter florals. the sand note develops after the drydown and adds a warmth to it that i really love. the window is inoffensive enough to be a daily wear, but has enough depth for specific wear-cases. i do like this fragrance. its warm, comfortable, and smells gorgeous. this is one of the only more masculine fragrances that i actually like and would be comfortable regularly wearing. unfortunately, fulton and roark's perfumes are so expensive, so in my opinion, this shit is overpriced. you could probably achieve a similar scent with layering 2 perfumes which could be cheaper than just one bottle of this. do not blindbuy!

I thought this would be mysterious but it smells exactly like a freshly cleaned window. I laughed.
