Silver Mesh Floral Unisex

It may seem precipitous to conduct an induction based on two cases, but after smelling Amouage ARCUS and SILVER, I see a pattern developing before my nose. Expensive men's colognes are always fully unisex.

SILVER offers another beautifully woven blend which to my nose is impossible to dissect. What I smell is something with a texture very much like a piece of supple silver mesh. It's not a shiny metallic smell but rather the matte mesh scent of ambergris which has been tinged with many other scents to the point where I can only say that the sum total is a very appealing blend.

This creation boasts myriad flowers: orange blossom, heliotrope, jasmine, orchid, rose, and ylang. The florals undoubtedly impart a richness to this cologne, but they are not individually discernible, so no one would ever call this an orange blossom or a jasmine or a rose or any other specific floral composition. The flowers seem essential to the integrity of the whole, but somehow they are not at all salient. Nor, on the other hand, do the characteristically masculine woody notes stick out in any way.

SILVER is the sort of perfume, a rarity these days, which I imagine must have taken years to create. I would describe SILVER as a modern floral unisex blend. Guys who think that they cannot wear floral perfumes should give this creation a try.
