Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It caught me off guard; it’s incredibly easy to love and smells different from the usual, which makes it brilliant, plus the price is absolutely bonkers.
Ten words: It’s the best of Esika and a true classic.
It was my childhood fragrance. Tremendous Dorsay. Esika, you’ve gone too far. The best in the catalogue 😂
Although it’s been on the market for years, it still smells incredible to me and every time I wear it, I’m transported back to my youth.
It’s endearing; my father gifted it to me at twenty and I hold it dear, now I value it even more. It has good projection and longevity, it’s for mature people. It’s the only one in the catalogue I buy. I bought a black Dorsay in 2019… I hope they bring it back one day.
I bought it again in 2021 to remember anecdotes from 2014. It’s still the bomb of back then. Not everyone enjoys it, but for me, it’s eternal.
It has been my favourite for 10 years and brings back important memories; it was my companion. Now it’s time to explore new things. When it runs out, I’ll let it rest for a few years; if it’s still on sale, I’ll buy it again to remember those golden times.
It’s among the best of Esika; my father used to wear it and now I do. I hold it in high regard; it’s delicious and memorable. The vetiver notes stand out, giving a sense of security, and women love it. I see it on men over 30, but I think it would suit anyone depending on the occasion.
Right here, D’Orsay Ésika, is rich, with a trail and longevity of 5 hours; it delivers everything. It smells like a designer fragrance: vetiver, oak, cedar, powdery notes, soapy and refined. The vetiver is relaxed, herbal, sweet and soft, with a particular touch of Aqua Universalis that doesn’t resemble Boss Bottled. It has a powdery, herbal and soft floral cut, leaving me very comfortable. I can’t quite recall which Puig it resembles, perhaps a powdery, herbal, spicy-floral vetiver, but this develops differently. Rating 6 out of 7: it’s a modern, romantic and remastered classic. It’s not for children living with their parents, haha. It’s for an established, professional, independent man who enjoys dates ending with breakfast in bed.
The last perfume my mum sold to me before she passed away. I can only say it’s a classic that I hold in great affection and I keep that bottle, which is invaluable to me; it costs more than the over 50 perfumes I own.
The last perfume my mother gave me before she left is a classic I hold dear; I keep that bottle as if it were gold, worth far more than the fifty I have in my collection.
It’s the brand’s flagship fragrance. It seemed expensive when it was trendy, but I wasn’t surprised. It’s a vintage scent thanks to that cedar note that transports you to another era. However, it’s a bit of a flash in the pan; there are better options on the market for that price and marketing.
The brand’s flagship: it felt pricey when it was trendy and indeed was, yet it didn’t surprise me. It’s a vintage scent due to that lemon-cedar note that ages and shifts eras. Lots of marketing but few actual nuts; there are better options on the market for that price and hype.
A catalogue classic: good, pretty, and cheap. Smells like very fine herbal soap, highlighting the lemon-cedar and chamomile with woody undertones. Highly recommended; no wonder it’s one of Esika’s bestsellers. To me, it reminds me of Diesel Plus Plus in the box with cows. Good longevity and projection. Cheers 👋🏻🇨🇴
In my opinion, it doesn’t stand out much; sometimes I find it heavy and slightly soapy. I’ve always bought it as a gift and avoided purchasing it again myself. Better to go for Magnat Select or Element by Esika, of course, as they are different fragrances.
Smells of herbs and wood, strong for a tough, confident man. Nothing sweet or typical commercial. 8/10.
It’s an uncommon scent, very herbal with a strong masculine edge. Esika has nailed it; nothing sweet like the others, it lasts forever and projects incredibly, especially at night. The price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable and always leave me speechless when I use just a few sprays.
An uncommon aroma, very herbal yet very masculine. Esika got this right; nothing sweet like many others. Lasts a long time on the skin and projects too much, especially at night. Price and quality are unbeatable, and it earns compliments if you’re good with the sprays.
Good quality for the price. Very masculine: starts with herbs and then settles into wood.
Good quality for the price. Very masculine at first, opens up herbal and then settles into wood.
Acidic sweetness thanks to the verbena. Nothing like it on the market. Here Esika played its cards on originality: a fragrance from the late 90s, elegant, subtle, herbal, and unique.
An interesting blend of lemon balm, cedar, and green essences, quite original but with regular longevity. Its opening is somewhat citrusy, with linear performance like most catalogue fragrances. Interesting price-to-quality ratio.
