Polaris

I got 3 bottles and 2 samples in today from House of Cosmo and so far I've checked out New Eden and Polaris (I'll be reviewing them all in due time), but Polaris is far superior out of the first 2 I've tried (to me, of course). Polaris is a freshie and I totally get the YSL comparison- although this one is slightly different. Could it be the magical note of "stardust" or maybe the suede? I also get a more pronounced minty vibe with this one when compared to YSL L'homme (the biggest comparison I see to Polaris is YSL Ultime, but I'd say Polaris is closer to L'homme). All in all, Polaris is a YES for me. Edit- I just checked out YSL Ultime again and I stand corrected, Polaris is a lot like Ultime- not L'homme. Still think it's a great scent though! I will ABSOLUTELY be wearing this frequently. Edit #2 - I love the woody base in this one and I SWEAR there's a slight hint of tobacco hiding in the base. I got whiffs of it at least twice throughout the day. And longevity is great as well.

Polaris, definitely a familiar DNA, however House of Cosmos twist is done very well. Crisp with citrus on open, and almost a flinty quality with the “stardust” accord, its energetic and quite bright on the rip. Incredibly worthy of a North Star title, Polaris burns with aromatics in the heart and a geranium thats classic and familiar. The base a tonka and musky vetiver that gives, clean and easy to wear as a daily. scent bubble and sillage moderate on this one arm to 5ft . longevity 6-7hrs. Safe for all year, anytime. leans a tad masc

Polaris is basically like a Jeffrey. He's that guy who’s always dressed well and likable... but not the most interesting dude in the room. This is not an indictment on the fragrance, I personally love it. A fresh, blue shower gel that has a great citrus opening, and a deceivingly smooth sweetness underneath. The sage really stands out but the suede and rose are really missing here and I think ending on those two notes could've made this special.

Pretty much the ideal neutral masculine freshie to my nose, and Polaris ended up being the full bottle I chose to buy using the voucher from the HoC's discovery set. Not too citrusy, not too sweet, not too barbershop-y or "mature," not too soapy. Just a great blue daily driver scent with great performance that I couldn't see anyone really disliking. Not every fragrance needs to be challenging or "groundbreaking."

Out of the entire line I decided to get a full bottle of Polaris..It reminded me of classic men's designer fragrances back in the day and after wearing it a few times i now realized it reminds me a lot of the discontinued Armani Attitude, Which is one of my all-time favorite fragrances! This is like a very nice twist on it. I'm happy to have finally found something similar.
