Paul Smith Story

Yes, i know, i am quilty as charged...quilty for adding a lovely floral and fruity scent into my collection. Normally i stay into the loud and heavy scents with a lot of sillage. How did i take the bate ? Very easy: i recieved a lot of samples and one of them was....Paul Smith story for men. After a only few wearings, i couldn't resist anymore and ordered a large bottle at my favorite seller. It's not only a lovely scent, but also a very special bottle. It looks like a glass booklet,that's ready to be "read". I really enjoy the fresh and crispy grapefruit in combination with the Ivy and bergamot. You must let the scent settle down a bit to get the full body out into the open. The Jasmin,musk and amber will take you for sure smiling trough the whole day. So what it hasn't a two days staying power...so what it isn't a sillage monster.....so what this isn't the most masculine scent on the face of the earth..... It's a story that delivers, uplifting your mood and turn a smile on your face. For good use in spring, in the summer and autumn. Never mind overspraying, just indulge yourself......it's worth a try.

I have readed a review about story by paul smith himself, saying he just loved the scent of books and he had a great idea to make a fragrance with this scent. What could i immagine about myself smelling like books? i just have tried this one, and it had an amazing combination on my skin! All the girls around me became mesmerized with the scent, and it became my signature for some time. The combination of lemon, vetyver and some floral notes were so perfect, and it really reminds a book scent. This one is very masculine, different and charming fragrance, not usual but delicious. This is a perfect scent for daily use, with medium projection and longevity.

Love love love it on my skin. The grapefruit note in the opening is bright, fresh and clean, whereas the dry down vetiver note brings earthiness that calms me. It just works with my body chemistry. I have received several compliments at work when wearing Story from Paul Smith. It was my signature scent, and I owned 4 x100mL, 1 x 50mL, and 1 aftershave. I was quite disppointed when I heard it was discountinued. Since then, I have been searching for fragrances that are composed of grapefruit and vetiver, but for me nothing is quite like Paul Smith Sotry for men.

This was my first signature scent. And i own 4 big bottles. I cannot tell you how much I love this one. Is kind of dirty green grass feel, and earthy vetiver. I have a lot of memories with this fragrance. Even I though I own 50+ Different fragrances, but my heart always keep a space for story. And this is my girlfriend's favorite. Since it had been discontinued, it is quite hard to find it right now. So I will keep my juice carefully and no one can touch it lol.

Floral/earthy/woody. Fresh. Unique. A very airy kind of scent. From what I remember, at the beginning it smells like flowers and roots. Then the flowers tone down, and wood joins the party while it keeps that earthiness. It is light, but lasts as well. Perfect for a day at the beach during summer!
