What is modern? Loud, (syrupy) sweet, mass-appealing, generic… The designer releases of recent times are increasingly moving in the same direction.
It can be worthwhile to dig up the old treasures and take a look. And behold - a gem from the nineties.
It opens fresh with a cool, metallic undertone and soon adds subtle spicy accents. Lavender is immediately present, along with something pleasantly herbal that remains throughout. An increasingly rare accord reveals itself, which might seem a bit old-fashioned to some: Fougère.
However, this one does not come off as "extreme" like a "Drakkar Noir (Eau de Toilette) | Guy Laroche," for example, but rather very classy and toned down. Not dominant or overpowering, much more in good balance with the other components. Made for Gentlemen.
For anyone looking for something different without being too risky or bold, this could be exciting. Naming: interesting! Scent: impressive! Chapeau Chanel.
