I'm sorry, but...
I'm sorry, but I'm going against the tide this time around. The much acclaimed captain, for me, is a nice perfume but nothing unforgettable. I'm now on the third bottle of the vintage version, the original formulation and no, it didn't excite me or, better, it didn't fully convince me, the fault of the really modest performance. Beautiful, elegant, an aromatic masculine scent, sharp opening, creamy and round heart and base, balsamic and aromatic but.... the duration and strength are far below average. Unfortunately it is a perfume that lasts very little and feels even less. As soon as it is sprayed, it projects for the first 30min then it settles very close to the skin and remains there for the (few) following 4 hours or so. Let me be clear, I am not discussing the quality, the ingredients have an exceptional aroma and it is something that cannot be contradicted but, quoting a user from the American forum, the captain is like "a friend who just met you shakes your hand and leaves it goes". Too bad, maybe that's why it has never had a great success ... who knows? final judgement? nice perfume but as I see it it is absolutely not worth the money they ask for the vintage. On the other hand, the modern is a completely different perfume from the original, very chemical and banal, to be avoided absolutely.
