Mr. Duck strolls along the Champs Elysées
The mistral is blowing, that breezy, cold wind from the north, and it carries with it a fragrance unlike any other. It is a mix of sea salt water, spicy and aromatic herbs, and mossy woods. Smelling that fantastic aroma, I have a vision of a balcony crammed with aromatic plants and sweet-smelling flowers in a little neighborhood of Paris.
M. Duck Let's Travel to Paris is an aromatic-fougère scent, and the opening is a bit brisk, citrus, fruity, and herbal. The freshly peeled green apple melts with bergamot juice, and the sage is heavenly. Together with this mixture, I get an alcoholic base. Well, then the alcoholic vibe calms nicely, but almost a right after that when the rosemary and violet notes kick in it comes back. Not as strong as it was at the beginning but still. If I had to match this scent with a French liqueur, it would be a glass of iced Vermouth.
The heart is green, aromatic, salty. When it is healthy, rosemary is glossy, bushy and gives off that delicious earthy aroma. Its spikey green branches remind me of the Provencal countryside, The crunched violet leaves and the marine accord assume a watery facet, so crisp and so refreshing.
It's dry down is mossy, with oakmoss and amber keeping it clean but muddy with just enough warmth. It's masculine, sensual, green, and very smooth.
It may be considered for younger guys, but I am in my 50s and enjoy it very much. It is an all-around good green splash that seldom, if ever disappoints and always gets compliments. It's not a strong scent, and it's pleasant for people to smell on you, it's sporty, youthful and energetic, so it's perfect for casual wear or in the office. Wear this scent during the warming days of spring or through the heat of the summer, it wears well as a daytime informal or smart casual cologne, and it can both be used for formal and informal situations easily.
Let's Travel to Paris is closely akin to Pal Zileri Cerimonia pour Homme, Hugo by Hugo Boss, and the recently reformulated CH Men without the sweet accord, all are alternatives with a closely similar vibe.
