60s style with 80s cliches
I'll put this review in this version, as I tried the version made by Inter Parfums and a more recent batch, and not the older versions by the original company or L'Oreal.
I had the chance to try this some time ago, I saw the notes and I was hoping to try it before I bought it. After trying it I didn't end up buying it and probably won't, but it is nice.
The opening is very citrusy but not overwhelming, and as it dries down it goes through a ton of different phases - floral, slightly green and aromatic, citrus coming and going, before eventually settling to a powdery woody musk. I found the way it changes really interesting, and it really drew me in.
Having tried a few more fragrances now, in a lot of ways, it feels similar to 60s masculine powerhouses like Eau Sauvage or Habit Rouge, but with some of the cliches of masculine fragrances of the 80s. It's definitely dated, but it feels classy and gives me a nostalgic feeling somehow. It smells like something my dad used, though I don't remember ever seeing a bottle of this stuff at home.
The dry-down is quite strong and it stayed on my skin for many hours through hand washing. I went to the gym on the day I tried it, and it was even stronger there. Considering you can get this for around 60 AUD for 100mL, I'd say it's pretty excellent value with that in mind. It's not for me as I would prefer something a bit more expressive of myself, but it is admittedly a very nice scent.
