La Voile Rouge

Great nice frag with an amazing price. I feel like it has a spicy/sweet honey smell, the opening is great first time i sprayed it one time on my wrist i got a complement that it smells really nice and i agree the opening is great and different. As is dries down it gets that spicy/sweet honey feeling to it and as the hours go on it gets more manly and woody. Lasts me around 13+ hours and projects quite well for 1hour+ like its great for the cheap price. Would rate this frag 9/10.

Bergamot in the opening, followed by dry floral-green scents, followed by a bitter, spicy, balsamic drydown. Complex enough, price is perfect, the vetiver together with the patchouli and woody base notes might however not be for everyone. For the price it is a 1000/10

If you are a fan of Tenere by Paco Rabane and Number One by Hugo Boss then you will love this. Features the same dirty honey accord that makes those fragrances distinct. Certainly unisex to my nose, in fact I thought it was feminine when I first encountered it.

This is a green spicy citrus barbershop scent from the 80s... A signature scent.... This is a 10 out of 10!!!

It's like a Cerruti 1881 for men, "light".Fantastic value for the price imo.

Vintage men's perfumery, french style. A dry green woody fougère, bright and comfy. Gorgeous bergamot, a touch of florals and sweet honey in the mix, and a very long lasting balsamic cedar, patchouli and oakmoss drydown. A very 80s/90s clean vibe. Tenere, Boss Number One and 1881 Men by Cerruti aren't that far away, true. Moderate sillage, and 10+ hours of longevity. The price is ridiculous, and the scent ridiculously good.

starts with “old school” smelling bergamot, kinda strong one, the middle notes are not really there, but you can get some lavender. Base notes are moss, patchouli, with bergamot. Overall note breakdown is linear, some people will find it too strong on the bergamot. Longetivity and sillage is great, the bottle looks good but uncomfortable. Kinda smells like grandpa? Im not sure but dont expect a “modern” scent. Its a classic scent, suitable for summer, for older men i would say, but younger people can wear it too. Do not overspray. The quality is great, and the price is even greater. If you are a lover of bergamot, and green notes, especially vetiver (thats what dominates the middle notes after bergamot) get this. Its pretty rare to get, so the chances you will smell this on another person is low. Its a casual scent, nothing special about it. Overall score 6/10 only because for me it gives off a grandpa vibe. Looks great on a shelf btw.

Opening is harsh, and in my opinion doesnt reflect the notes breakdown. At the same time opening seems bright yet dank. After about 30 minutes when the scent has dried down it turns more pleasant for my nose, and closer to what you'd figure getting from the notes breakdown. I am getting back here to edit the review when I've given this one more wears - and have decided if it suits me or not. EDIT 2: I do not know what has happened with the fragrance, but I just tested it again after a long time. Total 4 sprays, two sprays on each wrist, and the longevity was amazing. When 8 hours had passed I took a shower, and could still clearly smell the fragrance. Also, initially, I considered this a 'dislike' but now I find myself enjoying it. It is not even closely as harsh as I recalled it to be?? I changed my vote to 'like'.

Don't get me wrong, the fragrance isn't bad but there is always a certain type of fragrance that smells this way and to me, it personally smells kind of suffocating sometimes. The fragrance itself is good, i can appreciate it but it's not something I'd just wear on a random day. Those earthy tones sometimes hit you too hard and it feels distracting but I'd say they've otherwise balanced the notes pretty well. I would also like to say that while this fragrance is supposed to be the ultimate aura of robust masculinity or whatever I dont feel that. I could see myself passing an old lady in town and smelling this. It's all a matter of where you are and who you are but I wouldn't wear this willingly

Sweet sad lavender, kind of honey on a muddy vetiver, no freshness in sight, embodying what I can’t stand in a male scent (and I normally love old barbershop classics, fougeres, patchoulis, vintage green moss and so on). Direct into the bin, I’m too kind to give it to a friend, it would be unfair, moreover I don’t want to take the slightest risk to smell it on anyone I know. Ok, call this a kind of trauma.

intense version stinks but I can't stop smelling it ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄
