R de Capucci

Im happy i got this before it (likely) dissapears off the face of the earth soon. So if youve smelled Eucris by Geo F. Trumper, you know 80-90% of what to expect. This is a SUPER clean, Mega well groomed masculine scent. As far as the "most mossy fragrance ever" as people say, i dont agree. Polo Crest is oakmoss absolute beating you over the head compared to this. And its actually kind of perfectly polite yet strong enough in performance to satisfy fans of old school fragrances. As far as the Eucris comparison, this is pretty much current Eucris but with real oakmoss. I dont know if finding a vintage Eucris bottle is even possible, but this would likely be extremely similar. I got this in the mail today, wore it to work. 2 unsolicited compliments and one thumbs up from a 20 year old guy i talk about fragrances with occasionally. This is just an extremely well made and timeless (i suppose barbershop style) mens fragrance. Two thumbs up from me. Edit: upon a little further wearing, ive noticed that in the drydown the vetiver actually jumps out, at least to me, and its very nice. That vetiver drydown makes it different from Eucris which stays quite sharp its entire life on my skin.

The definition of a Chypre in its true classical form. Opens citrusy, sharp, strong, then softens up with subtle elegant florals, then ends over a woodsy, leathery, mossy base. Fine smoke rises from a combination of moss and leather, while Vetiver enhances the composition with its woody structure. A timeless but vintage masculine scent that competes with some of the best of its time. It reminds me of Lancetti Monsieur, with leather and smoke, and without the dry rosewood/sandalwood accord to paint a clearer picture.

Green, herbaceous, and a good performer. It's in the same neighborhood as Bogart by Bogart (Signature), Basile Uomo, Worth Pour Homme, and Francesco Smalto Pour Homme. If you like any of those others, you should like R, but it may feel redundent if you have a few of those others already. (I have full bottles of R, Bogart, and Basile, while passing on Worth and Smalto after their mini-bottles; partly because of sameness and because I like those other three better.)

This is my favorite cologne. I love the smell . very distinctive and lasts a long time. I get massive compliments when i wear this. since it is very hard to find i wear this only to special occasions . when it was in production it was never that popular. back in the day it was more of an alternative cologne for the elite! rate this a 10/10 .

My husband smells so delicious (in a clean, sexy way) wearing this and it has wonderful staying power! It has an elegant refined masculinity that's enchanting and a slight green "sweetness" on the dry down that isn't ever overpowering. Beautifully balanced and very memorable. I've got to locate more for Father's Day! :)
