TILT!

It is generally a pleasantly fresh and quite synthetic fragrance. It has some wood, it has powder, it has something spicy, it has something fruity bubble-gummy, it has something like Coca Cola, it has something metallic... and all this goes back and forth as if your nose is a ball and shakes left and right in Mr. Quentin's pinball machine. Some might find it a great ride. I tried to like it since the majority here agrees that it is a stellar fragrance, but I find it headache/ tilt inducing.

Sprayed a piece of paper and got it to my girlfriend to smell it (she loves heavy vintage 80s smells, aldehydes and classic macho perfumes). She could not stand it so she threw it in an already full garbage bin under the kitchen sink. After a couple of minutes she told me to throw the garbage bag because the entire kitchen was smelling Bois Imperial! Well.. I could not find a better way to answer the question about projection.

A sidenote. I found that the metallic phase of Bois Imperial resembles quite a bit Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver Parfum which I liked.

Great longevity and even greater price tag.
