Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
To put it simply: it’s Dior Homme with Midnight in Paris at the opening, very cool. It then evolves on its own and becomes quite interesting. Not a beast in projection, but the longevity is more than enough and it suits every occasion. A modern oriental that many will love, warm and spiced, with a flawless price-to-quality ratio. Pure elegance from the collection by Sejano77.
Agreeing with the above. It’s a bit less potent than DH, making it ideal for the office, meetings, or business dinners; it adds seriousness and distinction. Not for jeans and a t-shirt. It’s unobtrusive, lasts around 6-8 hours, and is versatile for spring, autumn, and summer evenings. I feel it’s more suited to those over 30. I’ve fallen in love with its price-to-quality ratio.
To give you an idea: 50% Midnight in Paris and 50% Dior Homme. It’s a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Dior Homme with touches of aromatic tea and rosemary like Midnight. The opening is potent, reminiscent of Dior Homme, and boasts excellent quality and versatility. The scent bubble lingers for a good while, which is very nice. The rosemary gives it a special touch, while the fresh, mentholated cedar softens the iris. Give it a try first; I think it’s good for this summer. Every skin will highlight different notes, but generally, it works very well and is elegant.
I saw the notes and imagined the scent… upon trying it, my theory was confirmed: it’s a less intense clone of Dior Homme. Nothing more to say.
