Smells like Castilian rosemary; it’s okay at first but gets tiring after half an hour, reminiscent of freshly dressed food. I didn’t like it at all, more suited for an old man.

This fragrance smells of Castilian rosemary; at first the scent is pleasant, but after half an hour it becomes tiresome. It seems to smell like freshly dressed food. I didn’t like it at all; it feels more like a scent for an old person.

Snagged this at a bargain price and absolutely love the scent. It reminds me of my Chanel Platinum Egoiste, but Cardigan is far more potent. I applied it at 8 am and was still smelling it when I got home at 10 pm; with the Chanel, it only lasts about six hours. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something affordable that delivers.

I picked it up at a very cheap price and loved it. Reminded me of my Chanel Platinum Egoiste, but Cardigan is more imposing. I sprayed it at 8 am and it still smelled at 10 pm, whereas the Chanel lasted only six hours. Recommended for those seeking something affordable and reliable.

This is my herbal fragrance. I love it for certain occasions, always using just a few sprays to keep it moderate in this warm city where I live. I adore it and will always keep one in my wardrobe or something very similar.

A friend loved this men’s fragrance from Esika for its herbal and fresh notes. Honestly, I always got an old man of 50 years vibe from it. My surprise was learning it resembles Drakkar Noir.
Bryan Parfums
The Drakkar Noir by Esika is an eighties scent that smells like an older man, cleanliness, and tidiness. It’s not to my taste. Best wishes.

It is a very distinguished, potent and vintage fragrance, in my opinion.
Billy Ramita
Cardigan is a charming clone of Guy Laroche’s Drakkar Noir. That is why it is minty, citrusy and slightly powdery; it feels classic (not dated), formal, sensual and elegant. I especially recommend it for casual evening wear.

Very rich, very masculine and woody. Elegant; I had a friend who loved it when we were children. The cypress gives it a minty and camphorated sensation; it is the epitome of herbal, very potent, smells clean, slightly astringent… I love it. It reminds me very much of the classic Polo Green.
