OP Blend

I was originally intrigued by the notes of this on another site and thought it was gonna be different and unique. It was but only on the periphery, it is manly and strong on first application but we all know there is often more under the surface...softer & sweet. This scent is green, but not the piney green of Polo or the herbal green of Quorum...it's the fresh succulent green of cucumber celery and bergamot. This can be off putting and if I had sprayed it on paper and not my skin I might have gifted it too. The "greens" continue into the heart with dry sweet sage and a stunning violet leaf extract (not unlike running over violet leaves while mowing your grass)through which the superbly soft essence of hyacinth emerges. The drydown of warm cedar, dry soapy vetiver and clean white musk takes this flourescent green concotion down to a decent level, if you have patience with it. Some people have to like their scents on first spritz and I have some like this but I have never seen such an ugly duckilng bloom into a naturally beautiful swan, even if the primary ingredients are synthetic for the most part. What Arkangel said it true and although I love this juice it will sting your eyes for quite a while if you mis-spray...but it sprays very wide and fine, which I like. This and OP Juice are both good for spritzing your hair or walking through a fine airborne mist to diffuse the scent in your clothing... Sillage: intense drying to moderate Longevity: quite good in hot temps Overall: 4/5

Wow. Where to start with OP Blend.... For one, it definitely smells fresh. The bergamot is the first thing to hit your nose, and if you are a bergamot lover, this cologne would already be on the way home with you. If not, OP Blend clearly proves it is not a one dimension cologne. The scents of sage and even a bit of vetiver (though certainly only a little of the latter) soon unfold into the scent, helping to attract more people to the cologne itself. Overall, I love this cologne. And as always, the bottle design is a bit intriguing.

D&G without the tobacco. I have had a 30 ml bottle for years that is just now 1/4 gone. Very much like the clones of D&G but a bit less spicier. It used to be dirt cheap but now it's more than D&G? Go figure. Still a nice edition for the spring/summer

I wish it were for women! Adorable fragrance in a very attractive bottle. I bought it for the man of my life!
