A dismal failure

Absolute disaster. I smell rotten oranges.
The worst opening I've ever had the chance to experience. It is that bad. It gets better as it dries down. Anyway, do not blind buy. Terre d'Hermès is always going to be held as a classic. This one though is going to be forgotten very soon. It lacks effort and genius.

Gucci guilty absolute again

Alberto Morillas, a old smart e experienced man, reuse his old creation, added more citrus fruits to the top and rounded the perfume into a more wearable version of the gucci guilty absolute. Money....Money..... but a beautiful recreation, a improvement of the OG .Still a challenging fragance..... made for the Fragcomm

I’m lovin’ this

Man… this one is awesome

I can “understand” where the TDH comparisons may be coming from, but it does NOT “smell like” TDH… at all… there’s a “familiar feeling” that wafts in the sillage trail, a masculine, earthy tone that someone can say “feels ALMOST like” TDH, but the same? No.

When I read these reviews and comparisons, I was expecting it to be the citrus feeling that was the root of the similarity, but it isn’t. I was expecting it to be a citrus bomb by the way it is portrayed and described, but I wouldn’t say that’s the case. It leaves a very proud, very masculine sillage trail. If I close my eyes and try to describe the vibe, i would say it reminds me of a very red sky at sunset, on a very dry, red sanded desert. Egyptian artwork appears in my mind as I try and give a closed eye description. Dusk, dry, hot, and red-orange colors.

The citrus IS there, it’s just not very loud or sharp… it’s almost as if you’re spraying a vibe/feeling than a fragrance. A very confident, respected man would wear this. I see it working in all seasons.

Performance is medium. While the sillage resonates nicely, the projection radius is medium-small, and the longevity backs off to a skin mode rather quickly (maybe 2-3 hours). It remains present for a solid 8+ hours, it’s just close to the skin.

I’m enjoying this a lot. It is an experience, to say the least. I can understand the TDH comparison, and if that is WHY you’re skeptical, give it a test spray, as it’s not what the reviews paint in your head. I really reminds me more of Aqva Amara more than TDH, but not because of the citrus. It’s what’s in the air as it resonates… hard to put into words… how the last 4 hours of Amara smells on a very hot day, but amplified… that’s how I feel it.

Dead of California summer...

This fragrance is so damn unique.......
.
Location is Venice Beach, you been walking along the beach & have only been in town for only an hour or two.The first thing you notice is the heat, it's dry & it is intense.
You choose to go grab yaself something cool to drink, at the shop off on the corner. But before you walk in, you get a very distinct smell of Cannabis that almost smells earthy yet pungent. Very pleasing but you continue into the store, get a COOL BLAST from the ac. You get a chance to really breath, & in the faint distance, the store owner is burning a slightly spicy incense. You grab yaself a nice Arnold Palmer, taste of the citrus & ice tea really helps quench your thirst. So you're back out in the heat & you start to take your walk out onto the main street & see all the activity, a food truck in the distance. & you can see the heat coming up from the concrete. The heat wave has started & you have a great weekend ahead of yourself.
.
Naturally you end your afternoon, in a dispensary & go relax until the night falls. Happy hunting

Citrus and vetiver, crossed with wood and leather

Pretty much a more wearable version of Guilty Absolute pour Homme. Added citruses and just feels a little bit lighter. Almost like a cross between the grapefruit/vetiver of Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette and the woody leather of Guilty Absolute pour Homme. Opening with a burst of citron, immediately the vetiver and leather are apparent and sting your nostrils slightly. The drydown is beautiful. Unapologetically masculine and assertive woody earthy goodness.

It's very nice, but I can see how it can fall into that pit of being on the one hand not shocking enough to fans of Guilty Absolute and Terroni and being too bold and brash for the fans of TdH and its ilk. For me, I slightly prefer Guilty Absolute since I like "going all in," as it were, on the ostentatiousness of the Woodleather synthetic but this is definitely a good backup in case that one gets discontinued/becomes too expensive.
