Citric

Amazing that no one has yet made the comparison... I suspected and I was right. A refined version of Eau Sauvage (EDT). One of my faves since childhood. A bright fresh sweet green citrus with a touch of yellow florals and slight dusty herbal impression. A touch lighter in the heart which as in Eau Sauvage can sometimes come across urinic this fortunately doesn’t. At first I was worried that as an EDP it was underwhelming but I realise it is somewhat anasomic. After two days of use I get wafts 6 hours in which I certainly would never get from Eau Sauvage. So as much as I hate saying it is 1) a better version of a classic for me 2) a classic i.e timeless proper old school. As it is I am very happy and I will likely buy another bottle over the EDT version of ES. Good value and even the bottle is reminiscent of the classic ES bottle.

This is an excellent well blended citrus that actually lasts. I would say it is one of the top level frags in its group. I actually get a lot of neroli here even though it is not listed in the notes. Packaging and presentation are top notch. The only downside is this scent is a near twin of Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot (which I also consider to be heavy in neroli). Rituals is discontinued though, which is unfortunate since it was cheaper and one of the best neroli's in my collection.

Somewhat typical niche citrus, but made with good ingredients. Sparkling start, but the heart follows in an hour with a gourmand-ish vibe which is the best part of this perfume and the only one which sets this one apart from others that I know. Dry-down follows soon in around three hours. Sillage is not beyond 2-3 feet and afterwards its a skin scent. However the skin scent last for about 6-8 hours depending on the day and activity of each person. Would I by this one again... I cant say, I think each one to his own and I dont want to discourage others because its a beautiful start and a beautiful heart. Blind buy worthy? .... If you like citrus.... yes! Wish it had good projection.

A nice citrus scent like a lot of others but nothing like Tom Ford, where the neroli, Rosemary and the Angelica are more loud and prominent. A pleasant scent, a perfect cologne type of parfum with citruses. Not long lasting, after an hour/two stays close to the skin. It is nice, nothing special, not groundbreaking (in the world of citruses), and overpriced.

I love this citrus, wanted to try it out, but my skin doesn’t like musk at all... So only the opening waa likeable.
