The Scent Le Parfum takes the basic The Scent DNA - maninka fruit - dials it down and adds a sweet fruity scent to it. I've mentioned in my other The Scent reviews that maninka fruit doesn't really resonate with me. However, if you're a guy who does like it and finds it works well for you, IMO you'd be much better off with Absolute or Magnetic. The maninka fruit is front and center making it unique and potentially carrying it into signature territory. Coupled with moderate longevity and projection, Le Parfum is just another sweet fruity scent that's been done many times over. In the far dry down, Le Parfum gives you a nondescript basic woody scent. Average and ho-hum.

Good opening, then meh

TLDR: a bittersweet scent, more bitter-spicy than sweet. The sweet component is fruity and floral, slightly sour. Overall the perfume is dry and powdery. Get Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée instead.

This scent opens very nicely, although this depends on the day, sometimes it's not as impressive. It's fruity and woody, warm, sweet and aromatic. A bit syrupy and tart, maybe, with a nutty note.

Unfortunately, after a few short minutes the iris emerges and with it this initial profile sinks into what smells like bittersweet hay, dry and spicy. You can still find the goodness, but it's veiled.

Curiously, an exact opposite happens in Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée: it starts very iris-heavy, and a few minutes transforms into fruity, woody and spicy. This component is very similar in both scents, though I'd probably prefer the initial version from The Scent, because in Gentleman it might be a little bit overdone. Moreover, Gentleman also has the quiet side. Overall, these two are very similar. I like the Gentleman better for the reasons described in the first paragraph.

After the opening The Scent smells bittersweet and spicy, with the nutty note still appearing sometimes. After a while it goes a little in the chocolatey direction, as the bottle would suggest. Then ther's sour violet. It might be how maninka combines with leather. The leather is not very leathery, but really bitter.

Overall, I found that how I perceive this scent really differs from day to day. Sometimes it's quiet and subdued, sometimes it's in your face. Sometimes it's pleasant in its composition, sometimes it's not.

I expected something similar to Dior Homme Intense, but it's not. They should really have toned down the bitterness and the spicyness and go in the woody iris direction. The Scent Private Accord is similar but better, there's more life in it. Joop Homme Le Parfum is also somewhat similar, although cooler and without the bitter leather.

It drives me crazy :))

Ah, "The Scent Le Parfum"; a mouthful to say, but lovely to smell. On a first whiff you get this loud raspberry soda vibe (i think it's the maninka note?) which never goes away. As time goes on, you get iris and a very sweet and dense leather note. Sillage is an arm's length, longevity is all-day long and it does pull compliments!

I have no idea why but on my skin it smells way more gourmand-y, almost cookie-like... love it.

Nice, sexy leather iris

I tested this fragrance yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. I think boss drop the "too sweet" to go into something different. Here you can feel the leather, the flowers, and a slight touch of sweetness. I really like it. It plunges us into something sexy, that men love, masculine, and sensual. If you don't like leather perfumes, it may surprise you.

Absolutely grand!

Inspired by the Eau de Toilette, I just had to get the perfume.
In the opening, I immediately notice the citrus notes. Unfortunately, the ginger quickly joins in, causing the fruity note to disappear rapidly, which should not diminish this fragrance. However, I find the opening of the Eau de Toilette a bit better.
After a while, I perceive patchouli and a pleasant sweetness, likely from the Matinka fruit. And now this fragrance starts to become really interesting. One must not be deceived by the first impression!
You really have to let it develop.
When the woody and leathery notes join in, it becomes the perfect fragrance for me. Fruity, not too sweet, woody, and leathery. Yes, that's how I like it.
I would place the longevity and sillage in the higher range, although the Eau de Toilette pleasantly surprised me in that regard. Here it is just a bit more intense, but this fragrance is by no means overpowering.
The bottle has, as always, a perfect shape and fits well in the hand.
I am certainly happy to have this fragrance in my collection.

One Million Lucky and Dior Homme Intense have a baby. The Scent le Parfum is the result—a citrus and herbal scent combined with leather.

The tropical fruitiness is wrapped by a riot of powdery and dry wood shavings. Much better than the original, it drives me crazy! Awesome

Good iris based scent. Sweet, smooth, and The Scent DNA underneath. The top is good, the base is quite forgettable.

Mass appealing powdery Iris. Inoffensive and fairly basic. I enjoy it quite a bit.

Smells like old man in the worst way. Annoying tacky leather scent with some fruit thrown on top to sweeten it in an attempt to save it… Too late.

This is the worst flanker for The Scent. I am using it as a bathroom air freshener.

Mature, clean but not fresh, slightly spicy, powdery scent. Drydown is noticably sweet. Lasts long but the sillage decreases significantly.

Smooth-sweet leather scent, that's not too dominant. Not bad at all...

Pleasant fine fruity scent with ginger freshness and not too much sweetness. I like it. I've smelled much worse!

Initially lovely, as it's iris-leathery and really pleasant. Then unfortunately sweet as hell: fruit leather syrup with tonka bean essence. Lavender/ginger only°°°
