Comme une Evidence Homme

Based on the new version: The juice provides bergamot, guaiac wood, nutmeg, rose, and is so heavy on pepper (probably because I'm sensitive to pepper) that it may remind one of harsh organic solvent. I bought it mainly for rose, but rose here is weak. The momentary whiff of rose upon application is immediately drowned by pepper and guaiac wood, and the creamy sweetness of guaiac wood adds the masculinity to rose but also subtracts the freshness from it. It's a triangle of the three notes. During the drydown when the pepper has diminished, the rose will re-emerge but the scent has sit closer to fiber. This is the most charming phase though. To evade the alcohol upon application, I also missed the listed cypress - when I got close to sniff, the cypress was already gone, or drowned by pepper too. I'd say it's a modest cologne, with moderate projection. It actually projects (for an hour) and lasts, but strangely I just too easily get fatigue to it. Still stranger is that I must over spray to evade olfactory fatigue, which has me go thru a bottle rather quickly :( considering its poor performance, I think €35/100ml is a little overpriced, tho I like this lovely men's rose. update: I was informed that it's dicsontinued. Another available men's rose is gone.

A unique fragrance. I love it! It's one of the few perfumes where you can distinguish the different facets as it evolves. Sometimes it's the pepper that takes over, sometimes the cypress/cedar (coniferous accord), and other times a beautiful fresh rose. The mixture is a great success, we do not get tired of it. It's not flat like YR's new men's fragrances (Ambre Noir, Cuir Vetiver, Bois de Sauge), which can never be compared to Evidence and Hoggar. And I imagine that YR will discontinue these, as it does with all its best fragrances. I had my boyfriend smell all 5 fragrances and he too agrees that Évidence and Hoggar surpass all others. This perfume is also very refined and its DNA not too common. It is far from the heavy, amber and sweet masculine scent that is in fashion these days! You can really stand out with it. It's also not too fresh or aquatic (notes that are often found in sport style EDT). This scent is really classy. The projection and longevity is average though, but with regular touch-ups it's fine. It's also very discreet and won't bother sensitive noses (like me!). Personally, I give it a 9/10!

To my nose this fragrance is Bvlgari pour Homme with actual substance. All I get with the Bvlgari is a watered down color grey that projects in a narrow point. There is lack of roundness, richness, you smell a sharp, undefined weakly sweetened something, which isn't unpleasant, but it just isn't enough. Spraying more doesn't make the scent bigger or richer, it only goes louder in that undefined nothingness, it gets sharper and ultimately it distorts in a cloying funk. This Comme Une Evidence just like the Bvlgari is a lightly sweetened simple and calm fragrance, but it actually has some body and depth. There is a darkness and boozy bitterness that makes it unique. Another thing I like about this fragrance (and all fragrances of Yves Rocher) is that it smells very natural, with the downside that it doesn't project that well. I love this fragrance.

Phenomenal. This perfume is one of Maisondieu's highlights, along with Bottega Veneta Illusione for Him, Burberry Brit & London for Men, Gucci Rush for Men, Montblanc Explorer & Legend Night, Moschino Funny!, Paul Smith Rose, Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, and Valentino Donna. Maisondieu is most likely to become the next Morillas. This particular creation - the only perfume he created for Yves Rocher - is, in my opinion, the crème de la crème of Yves Rocher's men fragrances. It is well balanced, well blended, and simply gorgeous. Still very masculine while not being overly spicy, and the rose is just über-sophisticated in here. Only Cartier's Déclaration d'un Soir can hope to compete with this, as far as men's rose fragrances are concerned. A shame it's discontinued. Yves Rocher, please don't make this mistake. Bring this back already!

@nattonline...I do agree with all you have said about this fragrance except I really dont get the similarity with the other fragrances u mentioned.I did try this on a paper and almost found it disgusting.I guess it was the sour sharp opening notes.either that or i was in such a foul mood anything would have disgusted me.I waited till morning to actually spray it on my body and i must say I got a totally different impression.this is very good during the day.wore it out on hottest day of the year so far and just didnt find it offensive at all.It has warmly dry down that I find very addictive.sillage,projection more than ok for me.i would recommend this for daytime wear-but that depends on individual taste and I guess disposition.It again would suit a mature man with a refined taste.this is highly recommended
