Vespero

Vespero Paris Jeroboam "PERFUME EXTRACTS FOR URBAN NOMADS" This resolutely masculine extract is dedicated to dandyish urban night owls who were just waiting for their signature perfume to come along. A fragrance so insidery, finding likeminded spirits who wear it becomes almost a game, a knowing nod among members of the same elite club. Top : Bergamot Apple Pink Grapefruit Middle : Cedarwood Geranium Leather Jasmine Base : Patchouli Ambery Woods Enigmatic Musks Such a lovely cute 30ml extriat unboxing it. Goes into any pockets or small bag, pouch or purse, just like a travel spray. The opening is so great smelling, yes I get the aventus comparison and dna but Vespero opens with this fresh juicy citrus and apple and then it goes leathery, deep, dark, smoky, and smells more complex and very smooth. It's kinda fruity but has these musculine notes of leather and then comes muskiness amber woods. Very impressive and we'll created scent that's matured and well developed for the right individuals. Wish it comes it larger sizes because if I use this like how I use my usual frags, it's gonna go empty real soon. You'll definitely get the quality in this. I may end up carrying this in my bag daily....

I was going to instinctively say that this does not smell like Aventus at all, until I got hit 30 mins down the line by what only reminds me a lot of Aventus' handsomely certified younger brother 'cedrat boise'. That being said, I remain adamant about concurring that this is a smell-alike of Creed Aventus because it just isn't. Seems a conundrum I can't solve or explain away. In truth, it probably steers more toward my Godolphin PDM than it does to Creed Aventus! Undoubtedly, Creed Av is one of the kings of Men's fragrances and I continue to have nothing but love for it. But this isn't about Creed but Vespero Jeroboam, which to me is equally an absolute gem in the men's fragrance world. At the very least, what Vespero has in common with cedrat boise, C/Aventus, PDM Godolphin and the like, is perhaps only a mild DNA trace and semblance of masterful appeal, but in its own right it is unique and could easily become one of my prolonged top 10 stylishly confident Men's Fragrances in my collection. For me, Vespero J is a 10 out of 10, Straightup!

What a hidden beauty. Nobody talks about this gorgeous concoction and I'm surprised. It's probably the best Aventus like fragrance on the market. Not a clone by any means but in the same genre. I basically smell Aventus mixed with Tom Ford Ombre Leather or possibly Tuscan Leather as is already mentioned. Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomad is the only other fragrance that I know that utilizes Aventus DNA with a good Leather note. Just like Ombre Nomad this one is a bigtime sleeper and worth every penny. Not to mention it's only about $100 which is very low for a niche. Performance is well above average too so you are going to get your money's worth. if you've got Aventus, Hacivat, and Terre D'hermes for warm to cool weather then grab this one and Ombre Nomad for the cold and you have the perfect fragrance wardrobe that is not only classy but also dead sexy. Something about the Aventus DNA combined with a good Leather note makes the women go crazy. Highly recommend this one!!

Vespero is beautiful. Starts off with fresh, juicy sweet citrus notes, a la Aventus. The heart is leather accompanied with florals joining with one of the best musky bases I have sniffed in a while. It's a rich Musk blended with patchouli and amber notes and has amazing depth and longevity. Just blends with your natural skin oils and does not let go. Projection is more well behaved in Vespero compared to the other Jeroboam frags I am testing and it's probably got to do with the citrus notes keeping things a bit quiet. It wafts strongly off you but in arms length radius rather than a 6 foot radius like the others which in this case I find is a good thing as it makes this frag more versatile. Longevity likewise is pretty much all day with 3 sprays. In closing I will keep it simple. If you like Aventus and Aventus with a high quality musky base sounds like something that tickles your fancy, get your nose on Vespero. Loving it.

Vespero by Jeroboam left me speechless. I don’t even know where to start with this masterpiece. From the first spray, I knew it was going to end up as my signature scent sooner or later. It has everything I love. A strong citrusy wood accord that just pulls you in. I honestly can’t pinpoint one note that stands out because everything blends so perfectly together. It is harmony in a bottle. I originally only knew Gozo from this brand, but I asked the seller for something unique and he completely shocked me with this one. I couldn’t resist it. From the very first smell, it became an instant addiction. Vespero smells dense and expensive. It is regal, sophisticated, and powerful. The kind of fragrance that makes a lasting impression without even trying. It leaves a uniquely masculine trail that builds over time and just keeps getting better on the skin. This is luxury done right. A true hidden gem.
