A Tygar in the bush
Many a fraghead shy away from citrusy perfumes. I think it’s an unwritten rule in the sub-culture (I’m more than pleased to be a part of, however finicky). Most would scoff at this one as well. I, however, enjoy it very much given the practical opportunity: warmer weather.
Do you know the famous and popular Bvlgari Tygar? 3 notes: Grapefruit, ginger, and ambroxan. Actually quite nice. Constructed by the legendary Jacques Cavallier. Tygar is hidden here, as in a bush, behind leafy mint and spiced rum. Less BR540 airy, as Tygar is, relying on that ambroxan for that near invisible push that others enjoy and you will rarely experience after the initial sprays. This is more standard fare in such regards. You will enjoy it throughout.
It is long lasting for its genre, very pleasant, and never boring. I have to give kudos here.
Some say it’s like a mojito. I can’t disagree. It’s much more bright and citrusy than the other mojito experience you might find in Guerlain’s Homme, which is about 1/10th the price, btw, and far more floral than citrus in comparison.
Liken to colors and textures, Burlington is bright, sparkling gold-hued yellow while GH is velvety bright pink. Both are great in their own right! I get FAR more mint in Burlington, and as much of a fan of Guerlain as I am I must admit the Roja smells much more luxurious (as usual, and why I am such a fan).
There’s much more going on here than I give justice to. In the end, if you know Tygar and like the idea of that with an addition of potent mint supported by rum then you won’t go wrong here. There is certainly a Tygar hiding inside Burlington 1819.
