Roger & Gallet. A brand that was unknown to me before Parfumo, which has supported me on my journey to find the holy vintage fragrance grail, can also convince me with this beautiful creation!
Open should be a term familiar to (almost) anyone who knows R&G, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful wonderfully dry tobacco scents.
To get to my point:
Recently, I had the pleasure of discovering Open Black through a blind purchase, and I must be honest, Open Black on the left hand, L'homme on the right hand, as much as I try to find a difference between the two, I can't find it. They are so similar...!
There isn't much more to say about this spicy-herbaceous scent. I don't want to break it down into individual fragrance components; it's too perfectly balanced for that.
Finally, I can only say: Open Black has already been discontinued, this one has not. So, anyone who wants to know how Open Black smells or is looking for a replacement can confidently go for this one!
Regarding longevity: 3-4 hours
Sillage is good at first, but quickly tapers off.
Ylang-Ylang comes through a bit and slowly fades with vetiver and sandalwood in the base, and I think that's also the special thing about R&G L'Homme as well as Open Black.
Overall, a great scent, but Open Black is more than enough for me.
