  1. Von Bourbon

    I have the ‘Eau de Toilette Concentrate’ version and pinned my hopes on Coty or Adidas returning to the heights of their classics from decades ago. The opening is very subtle, with almost no projection, featuring herbal notes of lavender and caraway that blend slightly. It doesn’t develop much, staying close to the skin before transforming into those all-time classic scents, like Agua Brava, with labdanum, cedar, pine, and moss… it’s darker and doesn’t last as long as Pure Game.

    It’s a fresh, aromatic, spicy, and floral scent with freesia, very similar to Adidas Active Bodies Concentré. The bottle has simple lines but holds a great treasure for the brave souls daring to try it. At first, you might not notice it much when you’re used to powerful fragrances like Dior Intense or Mugler, but after applying it post-shower and wearing it throughout the day, I’d say it’s the scent that puts you in a good mood and gives you energy… it has the 3 Bs in the market, brilliant or not?
