One of the best on the market!
Ginger and lemon at the start give the feeling that we are dealing with a classic mens cologne, but we are wrong. Galbanum and grapefruit join the first notes to give an unexpected and spectacular twist to the fragrance. A fragrance that is fresh but with body and a spectacular performance. The spicy heart, and the bass of moss and castoreum, among other notes complete this magnificent creation!

The Tycoon
This one is for an extremely well put together sharply dressed day, crisp and fresh chypre. To me it’s a modern take on an old school classic, it’s got real staying power too and will easily carry you through a full day wear. It opens green and spicy with that citrus and ginger bringing freshness and a real zing into play. It’s so clean and easy to wear, it gives you a real sense of confidence. I can see it being a top seller!

Class in a bottle.
this opens up blasting you with that combo of citrus and spice. Not harsh at all, very inviting. This settles quickly before the green notes of oakmoss, pepper and nutmeg take more affect. It feels like vvery mature juice that can easily make you feel confident.

Sillage on this is brilliant and the longevity is good enough with 8 good hours before becoming a light skin scent.

Fantastic work from the house of St Giles!

I took a risk & love it!
Always a bit of a risk buying aftershave without smelling it first.
However, this smells really nice; strong and fresh, rather than heavy and musky.
Came in nice packaging and you get a lot for your money. You can feel the quality of the fragrance when it’s on your skin.
Really pleased overall, would make a good Christmas present for whoever is nicest to me between now and December....

It is a loud piercing peppery fragrance that cuts through the air. It is a fragrance for the assertive confident and bold. I can imagine a boss in a smart fitted suit talking on the phone about a business move is about to execute wearing this!

A frontrunner in exquisite citrus.
Long position on galbanum and labdanum.
Going short on moss & animal notes.

It reminds me of those sporty shower gels from the nineties. Yet it's still so charming and high-quality. Ah, Duchaufour really knows how to do it.

A tightly woven scent of wood and spice notes with a serious, brittle presence. It softens a bit over time. Unsweetened and dry.

Citrusy-green galbanum juice in the morning drives away…
not the salty celery vegetable broth that stays on the wooden table until evening.*

Like a beautiful watercolor melting into bright citrus tones, sealed with sweet resin and framed in bitter moss. Fantastic!

A balanced, rounded fresh/spicy scent.
It knows how to impress. A truly great composition. It has that certain something!
