I don't want to please you because I don't have to
Beautiful bottle, great commercial together with jazz live at the time. The predecessor I do not know.
Prelude burnt sweet, a little smoky. Very tart, bitter. Associations with strong, strict "gray man with hat".
Sweetness fades, pleasant. Tarragon recognizable, cypress note.
Mugwort adds a classic note. For me, the fragrance is too serious at this stage, even for my understanding of the fragrance title, too little playful. Closer to the skin it smells a bit caustic.
The geranium is also smellable. To me it seems boring, buttoned up, however, he has a slight effervescence, invigorating effect in the tart chords. I don't smell coriander until later. It doesn't pretend to have lovely aspects, which is good. Smelling it, I see a light gray and the green patchouli. A fragrance that sharpens the sensory perception.
Lasts a long time, has a concentration-enhancing and calming effect on me. Gets "better and better" as the fragrance seems to focus more on the essentials with increasing duration.
A strong character!

Dinner and a Show in Midtown
A manly scent with just the right amount of spice, powder, and creamy notes, in fact a nearly perfect blend of all three. In my view it's suitable for all seasons, but it leans toward fall and winter. It strikes me as similar to Égoïste Cologne Concentrée with less spice and without the off-putting animalic notes.

This is something high-powered businessmen and professionals in New York City wore in the 90's, something nice to throw on after work before a dinner, hot date, show, or a cocktail reception. The fragrance still captures that vibe. An upscale, metropolitan, complex, and cool fragrance with a personality all its own.

The original bottle for Jazz (1988) Eau de Toilette was really cool, so it's a shame that YSL stopped using it, but it's a boon that this quality fragrance is still available to purchase.
