Smells like the inside of a woman’s handbag. I absolutely love it; it brings back so many memories and is incredibly nostalgic.
Very complimentary, I finished the bottle and will never buy it again as it doesn’t fascinate me and isn’t my style; it smells like a mature, masculine man. My wife adored it, but I didn’t so much. The fragrance is fresh yet quite formal. A 7/10.
Very overrated. I finished the bottle and will never buy it again as I don’t fancy it and it’s not my style; it smells like a mature, macho man. My wife adored it, but I didn’t so much. The fragrance is fresh yet quite formal. A 7/10.
I own this fragrance. It is clean, elegant, and somewhat complex to understand. I’ve had it for a year and a half and have used more than half a bottle; I think I’ll return to wearing it in autumn as its notes are ideal for that season. At first, it smells strong and woody, which might put many off, thinking it’s a poor choice, but if you give it a chance, you’ll realise that once it dries, it is splendid, with plenty of personality and seriousness, perhaps best suited for office wear. Longevity on my skin is 6 to 8 hours.
I own this perfume. It is clean, elegant, and somewhat difficult to understand.

At first, it smells strong and woody, which many might find unpleasant, but if you give it a chance, you’ll realise it dries down to something splendid, with plenty of personality and seriousness, perhaps best suited for office wear.

Hello… Quick question. I just bought it as a gift. When applied, it is strong, but once it settles on the skin, it seems pleasant. I was wondering how agreeable it might be for someone who normally wears One Million by Paco Rabanne.
You’re right, AngelMarc, it happened to me too. I tried it on my wrist and liked it, bought it on the spot, but once I applied it at home, I sensed an unpleasant, almost synthetic aroma. I tried to fix it by blending it with another fragrance, but in the end, I gifted it away; I simply couldn’t stand it…
That’s true, AngelMarc, it happened to me too. I tried it on my wrist and liked it, so I bought it straight away, but at home, upon applying it, I sensed an unpleasant, almost synthetic aroma. I tried to fix it by mixing it with another fragrance, but in the end, I gifted it away; I simply couldn’t stand it…
My dad gifted it to me, yet I could never tolerate it; there was something about this fragrance I simply didn’t like, perhaps the blend of a slightly synthetic vanilla with benzoin and ginger. The truth is, I couldn’t quite explain it. Once it had dried on my skin, the scent was bearable, forcing me to apply it sparingly so people noticed I was wearing it but didn’t find it overwhelming. In the end, my dad appreciated how long it lasted and swapped it for an Armani Code he had, for which I am eternally grateful.
