Bergamot and Cedarwood

The opening reminded me of Tiger Balm for some reason. After just a few minutes it smells pretty close to Drakkar Noir and then slowly evolves into something a bit different, keeping that strong masculine fougère touch. The late drydown is wood forward. Sillage is decent and longevity much better than Drakkar Noir's current formulation. If you like that kind of dna, Bergamot And Cedar is a great option, especially considering its price.

Very similar to vintage Drakkar Noir, but Swiss Arabian have made it of higher quality and a bit more upscale, very good performance as well (I've gotten compliments 6 hours after application). Being a 43-year-old male I'm reaching for this quite often, an all time classic scent profile that works very well to this day. People in their twenties who like unisex fragrances probably shouldn't even bother trying this! 9.1/10

Good lord this is good. Super clean soapy fresh smell. Love at first sniff. I haven't performance tested yet but if I got 2 hours for the price I wouldn't care. With that being said, there isn't a doubt in my mind that this will perform well based off my first impression strength. Will update accordingly but for now based off scent alone this is a love.

If you have ever wondered what old school Drakkar Noir from the 1980’s and early 90’s smelled like, have I got a scent for you! For anyone too young to know, this was the ‘80’s answer to Dior Sauvage.

Old days drakkar noir, even much higher quality. What's not to like? This one is one my top 5 surprises for this year. Safe blind buy for guys 40+ and fans of the old drakkar noir.

The return of drakkar... it stayed on me all day. It smelled so good in the 45 degree heat in Dubai. I loved it.

It's a clean, bright scent that really lasts and projects well. Perfect for work or everyday wear.

Cheap yet designer quality. What is not to like?

I wanted it to be like Drakkar Noir, but it’s too citrusy. All I get is citrus and bergamot. There’s an underlying woody tone that reminds me of DN but the distinct DN pine note is missing. To me it’s extremely close to Legesi from Armaf, which has notes that remind of both DN and Platinum Egoiste. Then I can smell the similarities to Lomani Pour Homme, due to the pronounced citrus. The best DN clone, by far, and far better than the current formulation is Dakar from Al Rehab PS the claims of resemblance to “vintage” DN don’t help when this version of DN doesn’t exist anymore. I also had vintage DN and I disagree with the claim

To the guy who commented about Vetiver and Orange: I do not agree at all, it is a pretty obvious Terre d'Hermes EDT clone from the notes given and from what I can tell you personally and I'd say that the orange is the most pronounced thing about it, the beginning is a bit harsh (like for most clones) but it gets pretty close to TDH in the drydown and for the money (20-30€ for 100ml) it's a really good deal

I know it's been done before, but this, like DN is a Masterpiece. I get all the classic notes, but this is just stronger. Smells identical to the current versions of Drakkar, maybe the carnation is a little stronger. Maybe they were going for DN, if so, they nailed it. Still a mature fougere, and something I get a lot of compliments for. Enjoy!!

First sniff I knew what it smells like, as it's inspired (cloning) an old school barbershop fragrance : Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche. Dunno why they came up with such an idea by cloning an already cheapie but they made it beastmode. 8-10hours + longevity, good projection with an OK sillage. You have to like old school fragrances, though.

Vetiver and Orange: (Couldn't find the page so I'll post it here) The worst one I've tested. Smells sharp like pepper (not in a good way), and bitter. You do get vetiver individually but it's not great. Messy composition and cheap. Performances are not great either. Overall disappointed with the whole collection.

This is awful. If this was 1980 then this fragrance would be top 10 but its not. This is a mature fragrance and maybe im too young for it (i'm almost 50) and cant appreciate it. I blind brought this and after ONE spray on test strip I gave it away for free. SAVE YOUR MONEY

This collection is rather cheap, and the ingredients are no exception. This one smells like a shower gel or a shaving cream. Quality is not there but for the price, can't complain you get what you pay for.

Oh yeah!. Original Drakkar Noir, with a bit of less sweetness. Mature guys only. Not a single drop of unisex in here!. Many memories. ❤️
