Amethyst Pour Monsieur
... or perhaps the Grown Man's Aventus? *provocative look*
As I read the comments while simultaneously experiencing the first impressions on my wrist, I was prepared for the worst & thought I couldn't have chosen a worse/quieter/inappropriate scent to test while I have a cold. But luckily, it quickly fades away for me, yet is strong enough in the first few hours to make an impact and impress. A wonderful, fruity gentlemen's cologne full of feeling, clarity, refinement & summer!
This really makes me eager to try the other Eaus from Rance, almost to the point of considering a purchase at that sexy price. Unfortunately, the classic bottles with ribbons are so rarely seen in stores. And in Munich, just as Apicius writes, I completely overlooked them amidst the pompous neighbors. How far ahead of his time Apicius was almost 4 years ago is once again evident in his intriguing & fitting comment - yet I'm only just now catching on. I bow my head ;)
Eau Duc de Berry is an ultra-light fruity scent, without becoming too feminine. Unisex but naturally impeccable. It dances sweetly between powdery musk and noble fruits; I would have guessed a mix of forest berries, pineapple & mandarin. A faint lilac would have suited Eau Duc de Berry very well as a scent color, although I am a bit surprised that the good Taurus didn't find it a bit more praiseworthy ;) It's hardly spicy for me, rather green, zesty, summery, refined. The rose adds a lovely touch in the background & cedar wood closes quickly and almost imperceptibly.
Bottle: Chloe For Men
Sillage: an absolute wallflower
Longevity: 3-4 hours, then it's time to reapply!
Conclusion: for those who appreciate fruity-beautiful, classic Eaus of substance (and/or also Amethyst by Lalique or the pineapple in Aventus) and who can't get enough of subtlety, this is a real match!

Well described, a real quiet achiever. Personally, I find it too subtle. Trophy to you!
