Aenotus No. 09

Aenothus, as the rest of the puredistance perfumes are, is a great perfume. In this case we are in front of a very good citrusy perfume, very dense and with a long lasting power that i have never seen before un this kind of scents. However the sillage is moderate soft, keeping close to the skin most ofnthe time, what makes the perfume perfect for day time use even under warm weather. I would recommend It even for dates which take place during the day because It gives a fresh and very sexy feeling to the skin. The first i get is the mix of citrus fruits, centered i think on the Orange. The opening is fresh and intense, with a subtle touch ofnthe petit grain giving a Green and creamy vibe to the fragance. In the dry down the perfume becomes very musky staying for Manu hours there, with a sexy and bit animalic character. This is one of the longest lasting citrusy perfumes i have ever tried, but i supposed that the fact of having a 48% of essence oils is one of the reasons why, and naturally also the great quality of the ingredients... I recommend to all perfume lovers to try the perfumes from this brand. It is true that are not cheap but the quality is superb and they offer a sample set on their official web with a most affordable price...

Aenotus really shocked me. I didn’t think I would enjoy it much when I looked at the notes, and yet 1 hour after applying it shot up into my top 3 from Puredistance. It is utterly spectacular and nothing short of a masterpiece in my eyes. I am fairly confident I will pay full retail for it. Initially it’s very bright and refreshing with lots of lemon, alongside a sharp, green herbal facet - thankfully, the mint is mercifully subtle. From here it develops this insatiably addictive musk, which persists and grows immensely over time, taking over the entire scent. This musk is at once sweet and soapy, yet is incredibly suggestive and sensual at the same time. It reminds me of the natural deer musk used by Matthew Meleg in his stunning creation, Honey Deer Musk, which makes me wonder if the aim was to create an impression of deer musk. This is easily one of the best from the house for me and a must-have.

Someone threw a few ml in of this with a bottle of something else I bought off them, unlabeled to test me :). I had to message them and get the name so they were right, I do really like it. Very high quality fresh clean citrus and green herbal opening, the petitgrain and yuzu usage here is exceptional. Then there is a musky undercurrant to it, that when you further dry into it you get a smoky earthy feel, not too much just perfect. Really good cologne type fragrance with a twist. I agree with people that voted for Eau Sauvage Extreme, similar but this one is the same profile taken to the extremes of quality. Unfortunately as others said, this comes with extremes of price which is hard to justify given what it compares to. It is really good though, if you don't mind the cost you are probably getting a top of genre fragrance here.

I love this perfume and I am female. It is so raw, herbal green...it’s just beautiful. I wear this in combo with Dans Paris Celine to make it sweeter and more feminine. Just perfection! Outdoors any time of year, it will blow your mind!

I really loved it, It's a wonderful perfume that is very unique and makes you feel very good, not disturbing but also attractive. I got a sample but I would like to buy a bottle.
