M V2Q

M V2Q is a phenomenally unique and bold fragrance comprised of layers and layers of deep and complex notes, it’s a scent which cannot possibly smell understated or refined - yet thrives in its garish character. I must say after testing the entire range from Puredistance, this is easily my favourite by a mile. This scent is woody to the max; a rich, earthy heart of cypriol with burning pine tar and cedar behind it dominates the senses. From here a hefty punch of cinnamon with a whisper of lavender warms up the gentle indolic heart of jasmine and orange blossom, all before simmering down to a leathery labdanum and patchouli base. It doesn’t get more masculine than this, you don’t often come across a fragrance which so readily abuses cypriol and pine tar like this. I absolutely adore this scent, it’s a shame about how expensive it is but I simply cannot get enough. From what I can tell there doesn’t seem to be much similarity to the original M, save for the cinnamon and leathery touches, overall it feels like an entirely new creation which could have heralded a new dawn for Puredistance were their advertising better.

Criminally underrated fragrance, and the votes/rating most certainly do not reflect just how unique and incredible this creation is. I can also say, with quite a bit of confidence, that there is no scent that this smells similar to. I also don’t think that this scent can easily be described; you simply have to try it if you ever get the chance to experience its creativity. Nevertheless, I would say that this is a very woody fragrance, that is notably accompanied by a good dose of Cypriol and a slightly sweet vanillic base to perfectly round off this masterpiece. Just like any perfume, there will be those that love and dislike this scent, but I truly believe that it warrants a try. I’ve received quite a few compliments whenever I’ve worn this. Finally, you definitely needn’t worry about performance with this one!

Loving my sample and wanting a bottle. Something about the whiffs in the air just attract me to this fragrance, it smells unique to my collection, such a sensationally sexy fragrance! Never smelled the original, but this smells signature scent worthy to me, strong projection, undeniably pleasant aroma, great longevity, dynamic, unique, balanced, well crafted, the list goes on, have your own experience, sample!!! Bought the bottle, and this fragrance is DANK! Very potent, be careful with this one, in high concentrations I could see this being “too strong” for some, but in the air it is very alluring, someone chased me down in a store to ask me what i was wearing!

This is another masterpiece by Antoine Lie. I have not smelled the OG and I must say this is a fantastic fragrance. It is unique in a sense I have not smelt anything like it for a man's Cologne. I had a 3 ml sample and after a couple wearings I decided to order the 17.5 ml. Whatever ingredients combined gives it a leathery smell Antoine mastered it. I definitely could see the modern James Bond wearing something like. I find this leaning towards the masculine side of fragrances. The ambery sweetness with the cinnamon spice adds a sophisticated taste. I had to update/revamp my earlier review of this as I have grown to absolutely love this.

unfortunately i never smelled the original M - but i'm extremely impressed with this one. The opening carries significant spice - with a fairly noticeable dose of pine tar. After it settles - within the first 5 minutes - it becomes stunning. The tonka and vanilla, although not pronounced, really feels like it rounds this fragrance perfectly. At it's heart, it's a spicy, fairly dry scent. I just couldn't be happier.
