  Does anyone else talk about this? It has few notes but they’re blended masterfully: sandalwood, fig leaves, cedar, bergamot, and those smoky resinous notes from the sandalwood (perhaps not listed on the spec sheet, but they’re there). Summary: good and original compared to a price slightly more accessible than Chanel.

  Note: this isn’t a usual scent, nothing mainstream. It’s a high-end designer fragrance; don’t be fooled by the fact that few people wear it; it’s peculiar and very good. Upon spraying, a few seconds of alcohol that don’t bother, then bergamot soaked in tender woody resin, nothing dry or aggressive. Flashes of mandarin, soft citrus, there’s a dustiness on the lower notes and everything smells good, synthetic-free despite containing them. Slightly spiced, sharp, perhaps clove? Later, ginger appears clearly, coming and going. It’s spiced, fresh, and gummy (smells like sweet gum…), rich. The fig note emerges gradually without saturating, clear and well-developed. The resin and good ambience continue. There’s also wood, echoes of cedar and sandalwood. I get an erratic mentholated sensation… soft. It evolves, it’s not flat. The dry-down is exquisite, of course depending on taste. I’d wear it for everything: buying bread, the office, the opera, or a spicy date, any time of year, though it leans towards cooler climates. Not for the gym; I prefer my citrus EDCs for energy. But if you’re heading to dinner or an event after training, this is ideal; you look well-dressed. Very well designed, pleasant and distinctive. Discreet projection in my case. What a curious jewellery house, little explored, but my first foray has been very pleasurable. The price for 90ml today on a giant online retailer is ridiculous for the quality. Plus, the bottle is beautiful.

  It’s exquisite. It has a Toy Boy vibe. Projects little, but smells high-quality.

  This was my first Mauboussin and, given the price, I wasn’t expecting much, especially with no reviews to guide me. But I bought it blind and absolutely loved it. It’s a mature scent (I’m 50), yet incredibly versatile and pleasant. I recommend it blind for the bargain; you won’t regret it. I’ve since tried more from the brand: my favourite is ‘Homme’, followed by ‘Private’ and ‘Pour Lui’ (both flankers). ‘Aequalis’ is also top-tier (it has iris) but doesn’t last long. Next purchase: ‘Crystal Oud’.

  Can anyone send me the instruction manual on how to wear it, please? No matter how hard I try, I can’t. To be serious, the projection is miserable. True enough, I bought it after it was out of stock (new batch). I’m letting it macerate, but I fear it might die before it ever picks up any character. Eau de Chirle, I’m sorry. And it doesn’t smell bad… Edit: after months of storage, the longevity is medium-short and the projection is pitiful. Impossible to bother anyone (nobody will smell it, not even yourself). Its ingredients are various types of H2O. So if you notice you’re becoming irresistible, attribute it to your own charms, not to this watery mess with an infinitesimal concentration of essence. If you’re capable of smelling it, dedicate yourself to finding truffles and you’ll get rich!

  I have a bottle from 2020 and I must say that its projection and longevity, although not a ‘beast mode’, seem very reasonable. I don’t know if they’ve reformulated it, but I suspect so from previous comments. It’s a pity because I remember it was a blind buy that turned out perfect. When my girlfriend tried it, we agreed it was a ‘WOW’ scent. It’s one of those aromas that surprise you for being good and unusual. The combination of notes makes a rounded fragrance, with the creaminess of the fig leaf and sandalwood predominating, giving it stature without being too formal. In short, I believe it’s made to please the masses but away from the mainstream. It could be your signature, granting the wearer a pleasant aroma with a touch of distinction.

I don’t know if it’s been reformulated, but I suspect it might be given the comments. It’s a shame because I remember buying it blind and it was a total hit. When my girlfriend tried it, she agreed with me that it’s a ‘WOW’ fragrance. It’s one of those scents that surprise you with how good and unusual they are. Its blend of notes creates a well-rounded fragrance, with the creaminess of the fig leaf and sandalwood predominating, giving it presence without being too formal. In short, I think it’s made to please ‘the masses’ but stays away from the ‘mainstream’. It could be adopted as a signature scent, giving its wearer a pleasant aroma with a touch of distinction.

  A true revelation for me. Tremendously fresh fragrance, with intensity and projection very appropriate. The best part is that it doesn’t smell like anything known; it has its own identity. It gives a good thrashing to many designers for a fraction of their price. Unmissable.

  A true revelation for me. Tremendously fresh fragrance with intensity and projection that are just right. The best part is that it doesn’t remind me of anything else; it has its own identity. It beats many designers for a fraction of their price. A must-have.

  A wonderful men’s fragrance, little known and undervalued, especially by the bulk of the so-called ‘talking busts’ in the perfume world today. It’s cult status, particularly among men over 30 who know a thing or two about perfumery, steer clear of the mainstream and don’t want to spend a fortune to smell good with something personal. If you’re a serious collector or a fragrance junkie, you must have it. Bear in mind, it’s one of the simple and humble ones. If your thing is only niche or designer luxury, look elsewhere. Even if you spot similarities with Lalique’s ‘Ombre Noire’, I think it has an original scent in a designer cheapie. Herbal, woody and fresh, born from gracefully blending a sweetened fig leaf (without being cloying) with a soft woody base for longevity. I find a certain resemblance to the Kenzo Pour Homme line, but without that synthetic azotic-marine vibe. Mauboussin Irresistible has decent performance (5–6 hours with about an hour of close projection), enormous versatility for spring and autumn, and can work as a signature scent or for intimate encounters. I don’t see it as too formal or elegant, but I wouldn’t mind wearing it dressed up. For tracksuits, the beach or the gym, there are better options. To conclude, it ticks all three Bs with a capital B: GOOD, GOOD-LOOKING and CHEAP. Mature, economical and charming scent. A real stunner, Karine.

  It reminds me a bit of Burberry Men from 1995. But be warned: Mauboussin is very good; the fig notes are lovely and give it a modern touch, less ‘asperous vintage’. It’s a versatile fragrance with a nice opening, though the longevity is brief; the fig stays with you for most of the wear. It’s a woody, fresh fig scent, zero cloying, with decent performance. In short, it’s not groundbreaking but it’s very good, good-looking and cheap. The dry-down is soft and woody/attar-like. I’d give it a 9.

  Don’t tell me any stories; I knew from the first sniff that this was inspired by Naxos!

  What a pity it comes with such a lamentable atomiser because the fragrance itself is superb – a sublime expression of simple elegance. With just a few notes, it manages to be warm, energising and elegant all at once. Modern masculinity bottled with style at a price that’s absolutely staggering.

  The name appeals to me. I’ll have to track it down to see what it’s really like.

  Not for me, but I’ll admit it’s a good fragrance. Interesting and distinctive, with a great balance between fig and citrus, supported by woody notes. On skin, it’s more woody; as it dries down, the woodiness fades and gains a fresher citrus character. If you like unique scents and have a collection, it’s highly recommended and at a brilliant price.
