Even though I am not a fan of splash bottles, the risk of the expensive purchase of a Sagamore bottle (visually the best is the old one) was simply too great, so the affordable 30ml splash bottle from a nice parfumista came in handy. Now it stands in my collection under the category "Masculine, herbal, old school." Yet it is so much more than just that.
Sagamore is green, spicy, with a lot of patchouli, a true chypre that gains depth in its slow but multifaceted development. Sagamore is masculine without being cold. Warm without being sweet. Herbal without being off-putting. Sagamore is proud of itself and knows what it can do, and that should also apply to the wearer from the age of 30. Sagamore is criminally underrated, and its disappearance is a shame. Sagamore is an herbaceous-masculine floral scent, full of spice, dignity, and authenticity. Sagamore is fascinating, surely even after years. Sagamore is best from the spray bottle, as the more skin is finely covered with it, the greater its aura and reach become. Sagamore is a nobly beautiful scent, yet as down-to-earth as the most loyal farmer. A pretty perfect blend, a fragrance that you can arrive at. No distraction yet so much to miss, to discover. They don't make 'em like this anymore - and not just today, even back then such an exceptional phenomenon was not a matter of course.
Sagamore is man
Bottle: the new edition is also elegant, and I should have acted better two years ago when this was still available online for 80-90€... but the original bottle is iconic and also perfectly tactile for men's hands!
Sillage: quite weak for me... perhaps also due to its age. But there are no signs of fading otherwise.
Longevity: varies from time to time, very dependent on temperature and especially skin circulation and excitement.
Conclusion: an overlooked milestone and the perfect companion for the accomplished, mature man who is proud of all his facets!
Check this out... there's almost everything - still - https://www.ebay.de/itm/Sagamore-Lancome-100-ml-Eau-De-Toilette-Raritat-EDT-Vintage-100ml-Flakon-Spray/143721408554?hash=item217676a82a:g:AW4AAOSwlsNfU4wz
Absolutely spot-on description. I received two 30ml splash bottles today, untouched. It's like a good single malt whisky or red wine; I just can't get enough.
You've described my reference scent for the next few months very accurately; there's not much to add. I use both the old (pre-2007) and the new version and love them equally.
"Herb-masculine floral scent, full of spice, dignity & truth" - you’ve portrayed this fragrance very well. I really enjoy wearing it (in the vintage version) and appreciate it a lot.
Wonderful, sounds fantastic! Although... it's making me even more eager to finally test the Lancomes (especially Balafre) on my wishlist... but it'll be a while before I'm back in Paris this summer.
Thank you!
