Neither the sophistication
nor the labdanum notes behind soft leather lids
can disguise it:
This guy is dirty
and he knows it! *

Ah, with fragrances, there's no need to mourn or romanticize the past. And if all else fails, there's the internet. ;)

Actually, yes! Normally not my comfort zone, but here the base wraps me around its finger so much... And no woody ambers in sight.

I'm so glad to hear that this Sander flagship has impressed you too. The chances are 0.00000000001%, but if I ever decide to part with it, you're my number 1 for its new home 😀

This is really an exciting new discovery, especially since this classic men's fragrance area isn't my usual territory. Thanks for that! ☺️

A herbaceous-bitter chypre, both edgy and soft, very unisex to my nose. Simply wonderful!

A decade my signature.
It has left a gap that hasn't been filled to this day.
UNIQUE ❗️

@Midnights I haven't found this "spicy-bitter" anywhere else to this day. Not in Antaeus, neither vintage nor current...

You’ve smelled great for a decade. I’m sure you still do. 😉 I’m so excited that I might have tracked it down and ordered it. 😎
P.S. “Antaeus” can definitely fill the gap a little bit.

Back then, it didn't resonate with me or I wasn't ready for it. I've now got a mini version that I'm testing out. Jil has a lot of fans.

It's funny how sometimes you're just not ready for certain scents. Every now and then, a new gem pops up in the box of samples. :)

Thank you! I've only known it for a few days, but I find it so wonderfully timeless. The family council sees it more critically. I don't care. ;)

The kind of man can be dangerous and fun, usually both at the same time (especially when he smells like this). Let the game begin...

Especially the part about "and he knows it" makes this type of man dangerous (and sometimes a bit irresistible 🙄). It's a lovely Chypre; it might be a bit too strong for you, but you never know...

It smells like a lovely, herbaceous velvet geranium leaf that’s been tucked into moss and wood.

That's beautifully said! I actually got a lot of leather and even more castoreum with oak moss. I think it's brilliant!

* As soon as I spray it on, I know it will wrap me around its finger on the first date. The second date will just confirm that, and by the third, reason will be out the window. The zesty opening is a given. More interesting is the herbal, slightly rugged accent, nicely softened by the clary sage. Patchouli adds earthy (and grounding) contrasts to the floral heart, with a hint of something eastern; the emerging base allows for neither sweetness nor overly typical oriental references. So far, I’m very impressed, but the base puts me in absolute high spirits: the dry leather of a yet-to-be-worn leather jacket, traces of civet, resinous tendencies, and an addictive oakmoss-castoreum foundation. It’s robust yet balsamically soft, refinedly sensual, and outrageously sexy. @ParfumAholic, you’ve stirred something here. If you ever want to part with the bottle, you know where to find me. 😉
