Brutal Classic Intense

Don't let the low rating fool you. This is a very good, bone-dry masculine fragrance with good performance after a little maceration. It does bring to mind Eastern European men. Brut-like but without the sweet notes. I'd place scent in the Denim and Patrick Fragrances of Ireland neighborhood, and owning all would not be redundant. It's difficult to find bottles for sale in the U.S. but sellers do pop up from time to time and that's how I acquired mine. The prices are reasonable. Recommend.

Getting Aramis vibes, although this is better. Layers great with adp Essenza. This is a winner.

Greetings everyone, Well I have to be honest - this is definitely a different era. Oakmoss, citrus, some jasmin, some woody notes. And for me personally carnation. It is an old School fragrance, which is bitter sweet. Reminds me the stuff my grandfather used to wear. For me, in my mid-30s this is does not seem as harsh as it used to be. Frankly speaking I can appreciate this. I don't see it as an office scent, not for me personally. Not a sports fragrance either - it's not a light one. For me personally it could be a weekend getaway type of fragrance - free, fierce and full of freedom. I bought it as an experiment - i was looking for something similar to Quorum, and I did, however in a different way. Same vibe, different notes. This stuff is a little gem of sorts. Not sure if this is a lady-magnet of sorts, very unlikely, but i would wear it happily for myself as its not meant to be liked by everyone. Not nowadays at least. Longevity and Projection is medium. It's not worse than any of those old PR or Chanel Antaeus and Kouros stuff. 10 years ago ago I would have thrown it away as a smelly sock. Now - I find it interesting enough and even wearable on some occasions. Spray this and become an ultimate lumber jack - uncle - dad combo during family dinners. Bold, Masculine and Manly. Fall, Winter, Early spring and Weekends.

According to Parfumo ́s and La Rive ́s home page the description somewhat differs. It would be appreciated if Fragrantica kindly made a slight correction of the scent pyramid. Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, Neroli. Heart Notes: Geranium, Carnation, Jasmine, Lavender. Base Notes: Amber, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Musk, Vetiver, Sandalwood. This is really a bargain if you are looking for an old time barbershop frag in line with PR, OS, Aquavera etc. Its sweetly herbaceous masculine for sure, and radiates well. Also blends well with Beverly hills red for a stronger effect. If so, dont necessary apply on chin or neck, instead under the clothes for a longer and smoother development. Ps. I ́ve seen here and there, it ́s been compared to Brut, but this is by far a much better scent IMO.

This is really beautiful and despite the price, doesn’t smell cheap at all. The name doesn't really mesh because it’s far from a brutal experience - it’s actually very gentlemanly, well-blended, delicate, and decent. But don't expect a modern style scent - this is from another, more classic, time. Excellent stuff - I’m going to have to buy a back-up bottle. The atomizer releases a lot of juice so you’ll probably go through it fast. It would be cool if they released an EdP version and charged double, or even triple. That would still be great value. I can’t pick out individual notes, it’s just an old school aromatic fougere, but more on the warm/spicy side rather than the fresh/green. Well done Poland 👍🏽
