JPG's new golden star
Wow, so many things happening here.
First, a burst of lavender and mint, then, it starts to get warm, a bit sweet. Tobacco appears, vanilla, a kind of black licorice accord too... Then, the honey makes it appearance together with the resinous part of the fragrance.
It's weird, because it is fresh because of the lavender and mint, but warm and cosy, because of the honey, benzoin, tonka and tobacco.
I'd wear this at cold or rainy days, and at night, while hanging out at bars or a terrace. But, to be honest, it would not surprise me in any other situation. It is noticeable, but not as cloying/bomb as other Elixir fragrances.
It is similar to Le Parfum? A little. Is it similar to Xerjoff? A little too. This scent is kind of in the middle ground of sweet scents, you can recognise a couple of accords from different parfums. It is not something completely new, but it will stand out from your collection.
When it is dry, a beautiful rough tobacco (similar to Bvlgari MIB in my opinion) softened by a sweeter honey, while all other notes swing around making it a "What's that, let me smell a bit more" kind of scent.
Overall, warm, calming, really wearable, made to be like by the masses, stands out (but wont make you the "another Sauvage elixir guy arrived at the club") and it lasts long enough (8-10h). Unisex? Yes yes yes.
Safe blind-buy? Well, if you hate sweet, no. If you tolerate it just to a certain point, and you are not afraid of a tobbacco note, you like spices, lavender, mint, and you've been around slightly resinous scents, then yes.
My favourite JPG so far. Oh, and the bottle, what a masterpiece, easily new part of the decoration at home.
