Imagine if you will a majestic golf course in the highlands of Scotland early on a cool morning. Around you is a green forest with heather covering the edges of the forest floor. You look up and see the snow tipped mountains as you walk to the green to tee off. You take a deep breath of the cool morning breeze as it caresses your senses. For a moment you close your eyes as carried on that breeze is a fresh green scent that is coupled with honeyed moss from the heather. Before you swing your club you stop to light a cigarette just to savor the moment. Again you take a second inhalation and the tobacco mingles with the green piney fresh mossy scent and you know it's going to be a great day!!
This is what I envision when I smell the current formulation on the shelves today. They have really done a good job as my previous bottles were a vintage aftershave and a vintage edt. The old vintage was more mossy which did add depth but also more rougher. The current formulation they have added more sweet honey accords and smoothed the composition out. There is still oakmoss in the current but its not as forward as the vintage.
I get two hours of decent projection and sillage which projects within a arms length and then a further two hours where it has reigned itself within half a arms length. Then it's mostly a skin scent but spray this on your clothes and I tell you it smells better than any fabric conditioner money can buy.
All in all a great smelling fragrance that still stands up today. A great designer Fougere at a great price at discounters. Big thumbs up to the current formulation on the shelves today.
