Got it blind, fed up with smelling like everyone else. Not groundbreaking, but certainly unique. Smells like JPG Le Male at first, then transforms completely. Left me speechless, but it’s rich and easy to wear. Ideal for spring and summer, day and night. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Value: 5/10
The worst PDM I’ve tried so far.
An ultra-refined and classy cologne. At this price, I’d also be looking at Xerjoff’s Comandante.
Smells like top-tier cologne, perfect for daytime and the shoulder seasons. A very pleasant scent.
Smells like a very high-quality cologne. Perfect for intermediate seasons and daytime wear. Very pleasant scent.
At first it reminds me of Le Male, but only for 1-2 minutes. Then Darley finds its own path. Very discreet and contained, elegant and refined. Suitable for intermediate seasons. There are better ones in Parfums de Marly, but it’s not bad at all.
What a surprise! I bought it blind because there were no testers in Argentina. Although they said it smelled like JPG and Amouage’s Reflection Man, it has nothing to do with them once opened. Incredible ingredient quality! Highly recommended for spring, summer, and even autumn. Scent 10, projection 9. Worth every dollar.
Reviewing this spring fragrance, very pleasant. It’s a complex and elegant Eau de Parfum: opens with lemon, bergamot and mint, softened by rose, orange blossom, lavender, rosemary and cinnamon. The base of sandalwood, guaiac, patchouli, amber and tonka gives it depth. Fresh, aromatic, elegant and playful. Reminds me of Beloved by Amouage, but less spicy and more green. Nothing to do with Le Male or Reflection Man. A great perfume, elegant, with good trail and 8-hour longevity. Overlooked by the community, but worth it. For springs and cool summer evenings. Scent 8.5/10, Trail 8.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Projection 7.5/10.
