Pancaldi

Another unjustly forgotten gem. Pancaldi EDT Concentrée has a fantastic 80s vibe—still absolutely wearable—and certainly won't gather dust on your shelf. It is a slightly more nuanced take on Drakkar Noir, coming very close to the vintage version of the Guy Laroche masterpiece in terms of performance and quality. It is highly recommended for fans of 80s fougères; if that is your style, then Pancaldi Pour Homme won't just be another bottle in your collection. Fougere anni 80 in stile drakkar noir di grande qualità e con ottime performance. Molto consigliato se piace il genere.

درود عطری حدودا برای سی و اندی سال پیش که تازه در دنیای عطر و ادکلن وارد شده بودم و آنرا از خیابان وزرا تهیه کردم خاطره ای از یک عطر قدیمی که دیگر هم ادامه پیدا نکرد. عطری نوستالژیک شاید عده بسیار کمی آنرا بشناسند و حتی نامش را شنیده باشند. A perfume about 30 years ago when I had just entered the world of perfume and cologne and I bought it from Vezara Street. A memory of an old perfume that didn't last anymore. A nostalgic fragrance Maybe very few people know it and have even heard its name.

Ordered this as a random extra to fill the quota for free shipping amongst a collection of vintage minis. I'm absolutely blown away! There's something in this that transports me away to my childhood. It's very warm spicy & green; Clove, cinnamon, basil. There is a creaminess to it as well, I'm guessing from the Sandalwood. There's still so much optimism & hope for the future! The smell reminds me of a frehsly baked gingerbread house set out to cool in front of fresh conifer Christmas tree. Having tried Drakkar Noir after I've tried Pancaldi; It's almost identical to vintage Drakkar Noir. I'm comparing them side by side and Pancaldi is stronger & bolder, but scent-wise 90% identical. There's a lot of clove in Pancaldi, which is what sets them apart.

I like this a lot. At first whiff it reminds me of Gruene's Vintage for Men, Pierre Cardin Musk, and Revillon's The French Line, but its fresh, green coniferous opening fades more quickly and becomes more subdued than any of those three. There are a lot of notes that seem to rise and fall over the life of the scent, and so well blended that even when individual notes appear, they remain as part of the whole as well. It's a leathery chypre with a prominent forest-y quality --- a genre that appears to have fallen from grace, since Pancaldi is the only one of the four still in production, and even it is hard to find.

I've got the concentree version. That scream more fern compared with the first version which actually was very poor in longevity and sillage but more vibrant and fresh, minty someway. Anyway this is a good creation, classic but dareful in something. My version smell sort of leatherviolet between the strong fern and the aromatic sweet cloves-tonka. Cause of that violet leather remember me also, in very far way, Fahrenheit Absolute/Fahrenheit.
