Respect!

In the English-speaking world, particularly in Britain and the USA, "Sir" refers to a person of respect or a polite form of address, unless it is used as a title of nobility.

In my opinion, this Sir from the house of D.S. & Durga also deserves respect, even though the complete citrus top note is hardly perceptible. The faintest hint of bitter mandarin can still be detected, while bergamot or grapefruit are more of an afterthought. After that, the fragrance almost immediately launches into a concentrated burst of light floral elements, and especially a substantial earthy patchouli and resinous notes. This part is interwoven with a rather green accent.

After about half an hour, the thick wall of patchouli dissolves, and our Sir shifts towards a calmer and, above all, soapier direction thanks to the oakmoss. In between, there are a few almost "dirty" to animalistic particles that make the Eau de Parfum more interesting.

This is indeed a remarkable and successful transformation, where one would actually expect that the dark coloring would reveal a more intense and heavier scent development.

Thus, the progression unveils appealing facets, from cultivated and dominant to clean and cunning without pushing the poles too strongly or exaggerating. After all, a Sir is not necessarily equivalent to a gentleman. It fits, even though, in my opinion, the patchouli part could have lasted a bit longer.

Even though I'm not exactly a sir, I wouldn't mind smelling like one. Sounds very appealing..!

It's funny because I just sorted through some old samples and came across the one from Sir. I realized that an ancient glass vial was still in good shape and the scent hadn't suffered much. I'm going to test it again right now! 馃檹馃槃

Do that, and maybe you'll come to the same realization, even if you're not a big fan of patchouli ;-)

Oh, that sounds really nice! The brand has a lot of interesting offerings and doesn't come across as too extreme or experimental. I鈥檓 sure I鈥檇 like this blend as well.

It's really nice, but apparently it's already been discontinued :-(

So with jasmine and labdanum, this patchouli guy could be very interesting for me too.

It seems you've come across a chameleon-like scent. I'm reading your description with joy and curiosity.
