The Tycoon

Gorgeous, modern green take on an old school refreshing scent. Slightly dusty talc like thanks to the nutmeg contribution is layered over the top by smoothly blended galbanum bitterness and citrus - most notably pomelo. A dark green base achieved by a not over bearing patchouli broadened with quite sharp and piquant pepper that is broadened by a slight tea leave note. A literal breath of fresh air, a pleasant blind purchase with decent sillage. Great for professional and business suit use - the marketing being very appropriate, I can imagine a clean cut, well groomed, pin stripe suited affluent business owner walking into his foyer, his employees looking up to him yet scurrying out of the way, already aware he is enroute as his signature scent bubble announces him in advance early in a morning that most people would struggle to be as sharp as him very day. Immaculate! Thinking Pierce Brosnan in The Crown Affair. Welcome relief and sadly underrated. A nice alternative to Charenton Macerations Christopher Street, Bruno Fazzolari Five Eau, Histoire De Parfums 1828 Jules Vernes and Miller Harris Fueilles de Tabac which are my faves, though this is sweeter.

This is a very nice non-floral chypre. The ginger is a great addition to an otherwise standard citrusy opening rendered bitter by galbanum. (Relating to earlier review, altho this is citrus, I'm not getting similarity to Fazzolari Five, which is citrus but extremely sweet juicy, not bitter dry like this.) Progression from top to spicy/woody/camphory middle is pretty quick, and I like the cypriol at core. And I agree the patchouli is appropriately subdued & secondary in the resiny/mossy/animalic base. This is not super challenging or surprising a chypre, but is very enjoyable & at a very reasonable price.

The Tycoon starts off with a brilliant green spicy fizz to it which is uplifting to the senses coming from the lemon and ginger. As it dries the nutmeg and proper take affect to make this a warming mature scent green throughout. I would highly recommend this fragrance!

Got this for my boyfriend the price is really low considering the quality of the fragrance. Very impressed. Arrived fast and in perfect condition. The boyfriend loves it & so do I !! Simply amazed by the long lasting scent.

Fresh and zingy in the opening with pomelo accord. This fragrances performance is excellent, extremely likeable There's a fresh and fruity vibe with a woody dry down. Its a well rounded scent and excellent value for money!
