Ribot

I received a sample of this as a gift. Very grateful for it. I would not have tried it otherwise. It is a fantastic fragrance. I agree with most of the previous reviews below. Comforting, slight animalic, leathery. Posh stables!!!. I really do enjoy it. Others around me do not like the opening and the hay is not a favorite of some. I do not see this as challenging by any means. Again, a fantastic fragrance. My first sample from the house. I have been interested in Lost Alice and Russian Tea but have yet to try them. The only issue with Ribot for me, is cost. Can't do it. I mean, if I had $$ to just throw away, then yes. But as it stands, €750 for a full bottle. Mind blowing. If i happen to win the lottery I may grab it and a backup bottle. Certainly worth a try.

Love at first sniff. Very masculine and elegant. Looking forward to making this my daily driver for work once it starts to get colder. There is just a tad bit of sweetness but not too much, which I'm thankful for. To me, this is what the Parfums de Marly DNA could be if they were to tone down so much of the sweetness they put into their fragrances and made them more "masculine". Very happy to have this one! A treasure to have in the collection.

When Papillon Salome and PdM Godolphin (or TF TL) makes love. I need to get a hold of Salome now. Nice! Edit: OK, this is not entirely true, although layering the two above is rather interesting. This has a well rounded cold-powdery vibe, with a slight weird-grandma thing / rotten cemetery flowers. Super elegant perfume

Excellent fragrence !! Quality very Debonair 🎩😎 Presentation is like a Patek Philippe Box and you can remove the bottle holder and use it as a jewelery Box .

spicy, leathery, woody and slightly resinous. probably one of the most transparent, natural and dense smelling perfume i have ever tried by now, smells very special to my nose and a must try scent for people who seek something different. the opening smells like herbs, saffron and rosemary, with some sweet hay tones on the back. the herbs and spices are so natural smelling that you feel like you stepped inside a herb shop full of high end expensive spices but it never turns into cooking spice curry territory like ambre sultan from serge or amouage royal tobacco. as it dries down it gets sweeter and warmer and the hay+ sweet jasmine + slightly animalistic leathery notes get more revealed with some sandalwood that i get but is not listed here. the combination of hay and animalistics gives the scent a warm, humid and sweet feel to it that you have to experience to appreciate but at the same time it got some sort of off smell to it, something like bad breath or rotten-fermented but its very subtle but noticeable enough for me to demote it from a "love it" kinda scent to only "like it" and reduces the wearability aspect for me considerably. the late drydown smells strong on hay and spices+ coumarin+the slightest of african resins and woodsbut the way they integrated the resins here is very light, super light when you compare it to most arabic perfumes like amouages. the longevity is great, around 11 hours on skin and projects nicely for 4-5 hours.
