Edge by Swiss Arabian

Semi-linear fragrance, the notes I felt the most are mint, lemon, cardamom and lavender, these together with the others it supposedly contains give us as a result a fragrance very similar to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, only without that feeling like a pine note (which it supposedly doesn’t have but it does smell slightly like that) and with an extremely soapy feeling, it smells too much like a bath soap sold around here called Nordiko, it gives the freshly showered feeling, which lasts throughout the life of the fragrance. It should be noted that for the type of fragrance it is, semi-fresh and soapy, its performance is quite good, on me it had a medium to high sillage for about 6 hours and from there on it started to drop a bit, as for its longevity, after 12 hours although in a somewhat low but really noticeable way I could still feel it. I must say that I have worn it in somewhat cold weather and got the previously mentioned result, perhaps in warm or temperate climates it will work even better. Something curious is that despite the type of fragrance it is, I came to feel in a very low way, very in the background a somewhat metallic feeling of Wonderwood by Comme des Garçons. In short a classic-style fragrance, with a clean scent and quite soapy, with performance well above the average of what you get today from designer and also from several “niche” perfumes, for ages from about 25 years old and up and for any type of climate, perhaps just not very cold ones. For those who like the classic Paco Rabanne this is a very good option.

Very good fragrance with excellent longevity of over 14 hours and spectacular projection for over 5 hours, a mentholated fragrance, cardamom, lavender, lemon… A clean fragrance without doubt and fresh. I give it an 8.5 just for its longevity and projection, something today’s fragrances lack.

Semi-linear; what I notice most is mint, lemon, cardamom and lavender. It’s very similar to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, but without that sometimes overpowering pine note, and with a very distinct soapy quality, akin to Nordiko soap, giving an all-day freshly showered sensation. Performance is excellent, with a strong sillage for about six hours before settling, yet it’s still noticeable after 12 hours. I tested it in cool weather, though it might perform better in the heat. Interestingly, deep down and almost imperceptibly, it hints at a metallic note reminiscent of Comme des Garçons Wonderwood. In summary: a classic cut, clean and soapy scent, with performance above average for designer and niche perfumes. Ideal for those over 25 and any climate except very cold ones. If you enjoy the classic Paco Rabanne, this is a great option.
