The Stylist

A beautiful new discovery in my olfactive journey.😊🤲🏽🎁 The St. Giles collection has been created by Michael Donovan to stimulate and amplify the many different aspects of our character. The nose behind this collection is one of my favorite, the Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour.🙌🏽 The collection features five fragrances: 💫The Writer - the scent of inspiration, with fresh ginger, rosemary absolute and a note of castoreum.💚 💫The Tycoon - the scent of success with pomelo, spiced woody cypriol and a chypre base.💖 💫The Stylist - dressed to impress with coordinated separates of rum and mango trimmed with vanilla cream.🧡 💫The Mechanic celebrates the physical with patchouli, leather and hot rubber.💙 💫The Actress - make an entrance with oriental lily, orchids and vanilla custard.💗 The stylist Opens with a blend of bitter citruses, then a fruity note of a yummy mango extends to an exotic accord of tamarind. 🥭🥭🥭 The base is a beautiful blending of woody cedar and smoky tobacco which gives a timeless and masculine vibe to this beautiful composition. It is a suave fragrance, discreet at first glance but as soon as you enter the sphere of the wearer you will quickly fall under its spell.😊 Overall a lovely scent!😊👃🏽👌🏽

Man, St Giles are the biz! I blind bought The Writer, The Tycoon (my fave) and The Stylist. None disappointed. They all have in what is my experience a unique consistency - they all have the ability to smash it out all day yet not necessarily have a super huge balloon. In this respect The Stylist lasts all day but is the weaker. This by no means indicates it’s poor - it would say be very noticeable in a car for example but other wise doesn’t necessarily hit those around you like a wet halibut slap to the face. So, amazing quality, slightly unique - for me the predominant almost start to finish is of rum tinged with mango (could almost be cinnamon, in fact this is a more complicated version of Comptoir Sud Pacifique Rhum et Tabac). The woods and tobacco are used seamlessly to body out the smell so really don’t stand out individually per se. Awesome scent, great price - may have to spray a bit extra with this but it is a big bottle.

The stylist, it’s a bright fresh and cooling opening, as it develops it gets sweeter, almost like the fruit is ripening, and it has a tropical feel to it. I’m picturing a beachfront, drinking boozy fruity cocktails, feeling the sand between my toes and the warm evening sun on my skin. A warm woodiness in the base is adding to this imaginary, sun-baked decking on the beach perhaps. That tobacco comes out after a while, smooth and dry. It’s all very delicious and inviting, is making me want that holiday!

Very nice fragrance! Opens up with a blast of mango that's dipped in rum and that stays like that for a long time but after ten mins there is milky part of it that makes it smell like the most delicious mango and chocolate shake if that makes sense. Vanilla is another note that i get a lot after the initial spray dries down. It gets quite woody after that. Smells like dense dry woods, with slight smokiness in the background. It definitely forces you to keep smelling your arm again and again.

Oh wow, what can I say about this perfume? Well 1 thing I can say is ifts fabulous.. reminds me of being in the tropics sitting on the beach on a warm evening drinking a rum punch this smells very boozy and the rum mixed with the under tone of mango goes together so so well, sprayed it on in the purfumes shop near my work and 3+ hours later could still smell it.. the dry down is so balanced and has great projection, Will definitely be purchasing this very soon
