Ciel Man Amouage 2003

I really am having a tough time isolating the notes here, but I do get a slight briny urine note that seems to permeate the otherwise semi-fresh nature of the scent. I have to give Amouage credit for going in a unique direction here, I just question if it is a direction I or most others would want to join with them in. The scent is not bad, but difficult to wear and in my opinion way overpriced (and that is coming from someone who has purchased one of their other scents, so no high price avoidance issue here... I just call them as I see them). 2.5 stars out of 5.
