Private Grey Saint Hilaire 2018

Immediately after spraying, 'Private Grey' is intensely citrusy, fresh and somewhat fruity. The fruit lasts barely five minutes, but the citric and freshness remain quite consistent.

Flowery and aromatic it will soon be. I can guess lavender, but the jasmine and the other floral notes are not recognizable to me.

After about two hours, the flowers have almost disappeared, a subtle wood note comes more and more to the fore and then fully asserts itself at the third hour. Sandalwood is indicated in the pyramid, maybe, but there is also an amber note in the background. So it stays like this until the end.

And this end comes quite soon, the shelf life of 'Private Grey' is just enough for four to five hours. And the charisma is really very close to the body. That's why the fragrance has the 'Private' in its name, and rightly so.

The bottle is reminiscent of 'Acqua di Gio' and fits the hand very well, but the leatherette coating is already detached from the glass in places, which reduces the good picture. The sprayer is unfortunately not perfect either, it spits more than it spreads a fine mist.

Private Grey' fits well in warm and also hot temperatures and can be worn for all occasions.
