Scent

Everything used to be better-even the future...

There are some scents that you can recognize... metaphorically speaking... with your eyes closed. Be it Man Pure, Tuscan Leather, Aventus, Yatagan(etc.) and this very colleague here.
And there's even a "light" version of that by John Varvatos. How does anyone know him? That's the chrome bottle. I can't think of the name. At least the top note is JdJ in sweet. More precisely in cute as a box. But for a country that invented bacon jam, that's normal. Anyway, back to the subject! In fact, smoked ham is very dominant here in the initial phase. But in pure. In honest. Smoky and warm and fat. Point.
Later, cinnamon and clove appear, are rounded off after hours with patchouli and have an almost opposite effect to the opening in the base. Mild, warm and mossy.
In my opinion JdJ is not a fragrance for boys. After all, smell alone does not make a man out of a boy. And vice versa one does not get younger with the above mentioned John Varvatos or similar. At best and at best, fragrances underline the personality. At worst, they caricature them. Everything has its time. Also that of JdJ. Actually it is over. You can see the appreciation for this in the price.
Nevertheless, he has his... whatever... justification! Also as an antidote to all that uniform stuff. For vintage lovers. To "go back" the smell cells to the 70s, 80s. Away from Paulo Coehlo and towards the bulldozer under all the sand shovels. Get off the electric scooter and get on the bona fide bike. Get away from Ed Sheeran, who is Bon Scott. Loud (at least in the ovals), dirty, a bit sneaky, but... and that counts... still something warm
