Ok, so...
I'm a huge fan of boozy accords in fragrances but on the other hand I'm not a fan of iris. I own Dior Homme Parfum Homme Original, Homme Eau for Men, Prada L'Homme Eau, L'Homme Intense, Valentino Uomo Intense... (you get my point) and despute how highly regarded those are in the frag comm none of them are a 'Love' to me. I find the iris not a little annoying if it's too heavy handed, I even sold Narciso Blue Noir Parfum and Prada L'Homme even though they are both great.
So then there is Gentleman Réserve Privée, I was caution about the iris note but on the other hand I'm a sucker for boozy accords so, Whiskey? Yes, please!
There was a lot of hype, all youtube reviews praising it unanimously so, it had to be good right? So I jumped at the first deal I found and yes, there is the iris I was dreading but it's within a range I tolerate so I wore it a couple of times and I was indifferent about it. I decided to wear it tonight and just as I sprayed it I thought to myself: "wait, wasn't there supposed to be a whisky note in here, where is it?". I can't detect any kind of boozy accord perhaps it's me so I came to browse the notes and surprise! There's in fact a whisky note declared!
The fragrance is really nice, there's the iris and it's quite notable so if you're into that note you may love it. There's a creamy sweet backbone, like vanilla which is not listed but it makes it very cozy and nice, ideal for date night. There's also a lovely nutty feel and some patchouli that makes really makes everything feel complete.
Performance is really good and perhaps if the whisky was more prominent (too me) I'd rank this higher. I'm a whisky guy, what can I say?
