Upper Ten

My husband is wearing this today and I have to say this is one of my favorite male releases I have smelled him wearing. I think it is unisex. I feel rather jealous that the samples are for him lol. It opens quite aromatic with clear and clean juniper gin tonic. As it develops it becomes a delicious delight of peach brandy, spices, and resins. I can recognize Fontaine' s work here. I own many of his Jean Patou creations. There is a snobbish quality here that speaks of old money and of men retiring to a posh library for cigars and fine cognac and port. Mouthwatering and sexy without being crass this is the type of male perfume that makes women swoon. I will be buying this for my husband. It will be my favorite in his collection. He likes it a lot as well. If you miss classy, spicy, old world male fragrances this is worth a sample. Refined, but sensual. Perfect date night fragrance guys.

This is a Wonderful Scent, Elegant, Classy, Zesty, Fruity, Spicy and Woody. I read positive comments and I watched reviews on YouTube. Special Thanks to : Scent Land on YouTube. I tried it in store , then I bought it. UPPER TEN opens up with fresh spicy, floral, peach and spices notes in the background then dry down is warm spicy musky woody. The Cinnamon, Peach and Sandalwood notes are dominant in this perfume, l don't get Leather note in Upper Ten. I really enjoy it and I love it. In my opinion, Upper Ten has a very unique Composition and I haven't Similar to It in my collection. Overall , I'm so happy that I found and bought It . Longevity is good. Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Lubin ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

I had a premonition before trying out this perfume. I was giving away a bottle of Cuba Brown that i rarely used as a Xmas gift. I never liked it but before giving it away I gave it a few sprays one last time, not bad actually I thought. Coincidentally that same day I received my sa!ple of upper ten. No idea what it smelled like, I gave it a spritz and whoa! It smells very similar to the cuba! Obviously the cuba smells cheap and linear compared to this but the opening is very similar. On the frag itself, I get the Lubin base found in idole but with stronger leather instead of rum. Not sure if I like it better than Idole but still very nice.

I was expecting another character perfume from House of Lubin, but I was so surprised with how wearable this perfume is. I find Upper Ten easy to pull off. It takes time while the perfume opens up and it's a bit like running through the pine forest, and in the end you reach cozy cabin where everything smells of cardamom latte. While Idole is definitely one of my top 5 perfumes, I find that its booziness stops me from wearing it frequently. Upper Ten has a tender & milky side which is very comforting. I would generally categorize this as cold weather and sweater scent. The bottle is so monumental and exquisite. Nice job Lubin.

Dark woody smoky fragrances are what started my love for them. Graduating from the Polo sports to tom ford Amber absolute is what I mean. I've spent hours upon hours and hundreds of dollars on samples of dark niche frags but I feel like I'm chasing something I can't find, I think I'm going to start going for fresh citrus scents to change things up. I say all this Bc I was expecting a knock out here and just got a ehhhhhh reaction. They all seem to be that way lately. I mean you read these notes, leather, rum, incense and sandalwood and when I go to sample, total opposite pic is painted.... Lubin Idole is still #1
