Slightly Interesting

Think Xerjoff More than Words but a bit more grown up with a bowtie.
It's dry, more mature. Could be unisex, but feels more masculine.
While More Than Words is heavy on the fruits all through, this is fairly more balanced with the Oud in it.

Burst of fruits on the initial spray, then calmly drifts into the oud. You'd really not notice the till you pay attention to it. Now you can smell the oud and the fruit side by side. Great stuff!

I'm not sure how it would do in warm climates, but it would certainly perform beastly in the cooler climes.

Yeah! I like it, I really do. Was a bit upset that I may have purchased MTW blindly. But as I typed this review, and as it changed with the 2 sprays, color me impressed.

You might not need more than 2 or 3 sprays with this. I'm an oversprayer, so I'll definitely try upwards of 7 sprays on this.
Will update this with my experience lol

I'd say it is well made, my first bottle from SHL. I'll look into the house more.

perfect fruity oud

This is one gorgeous creation that demonstrates what an unparalleled master of Modern Oriental perfumery Stephane Humbert Lucas is. Full of warmth, sophistication and masculine radiance, SHL combines a central note of Cambodian Oud in this one with notes of Yuzu, blackcurrant, mint, spices, and balsamic notes. The results are utterly winning and reflect an opulent Middle Eastern opulence transposed with modern elegant masculinity. Enormous sillage and projection, please use the spray button with caution. Not your typical Oud Rose combination which predominates the market, this is a dry, almost shimmering translucent sweet Oud that is not seen much these days in perfumery. Simply magnificent!

2022 Generation Man - ”The Golden Boy”

An amber-woody fragrance , with a fresh and citrusy opening , where you’ll get the oud accord mixed with the Black Currant and Yuzu fruit -> a bit green , a bit rosey , quite zesty and little spicy ! The mint is also there , to give it a refreshing vibe !
In the base and dry-down, it’s getting more woody - you’ll get some CedarWood+Birch Wood = Precious Wood , but also some balsamic nuances - he uses Peru Balsam...
ISO E Super -> is also , a key component , in my opinion , in order to make this smoother and softer , but also to increase its longevity !
Overall it's a 8 / 10 , if you would like to try a fruity/oriental perfume ( although and unfortunately , not my kind of scent anymore ! )

Perplexed In The Best Possible Way

For the last couple years I’ve described Cécile Zarokian as my favorite perfumer. I don’t know if that’s still the case as I have begun paying much more attention to the Stéphane Humbert Lucas offerings I have in my collection. I find myself wowed, at times, by fragrances where I can pick up on the individual notes / facets of a fragrance, where the photorealism is profound. However, I am just as wowed by those fragrances where my nose simply does not pick up on individual notes and the sum of the parts is greater than the parts themselves. I’ve found, at times, both of these 2 perfumers battling in my mind for the top slot, achieve both of those things in their different works I’ve been lucky enough to behold with my nose.

I absolutely adore all of the Stéphane fragrances in my collection and the samples I have. A couple of the samples I have are too feminine leaning for me to want to wear but they’re lovely nonetheless. This particular fragrance has left me perplexed. I’ve not smelled any of the frags people have compared it to, and this is one of those frags where I can’t really pick up on the individual notes, but the sum of the parts blends into something that is simply beautiful.

I wore this a few nights ago for what was my 3rd or 4th wearing. I wore it as an evening fragrance and for the few hours I was awake I could not stop smelling the back of my hand. In fact, once I became sleepy and went to bed, I’m pretty certain I fell asleep with my nose buried into the back of my hand so I could enjoy the scent with every breath until I fell asleep.

While I’ve not smelled any of the compared fragrances, there was something deeply comforting and familiar about this scent. I don’t know if it’s that it reminds me of something from years gone by, or if it was my mind playing tricks on me and making it seem familiar out of enjoying it so much. I have been wracking my brain taking inventory of familiar scents over the years, with hopes that eventually I’ll have a “eureka moment” where what it reminds me of will suddenly come to the forefront of my mind. Alas, that has not occurred. This fragrance is one of those ones where what I do get in the forefront of my mind is texture rather than recalling something this scent reminds me of. What I get is smooth, soft, and comforting like cashmere sweater.

While it doesn’t remind me of an old book, it conjures up the feeling of cracking open a book that is 100+ years old where the paper has an almost burned scent to it. Again, I don’t necessarily get that smell per say, but that feeling… it’s reminiscent of something oldish, earthy, yet smooth and comforting. Like being in an antique shop and finding a hidden gem, something you’ve long searched for but not found until suddenly there it is before your eyes, yet beheld by your nose. I’m oddly hopeful eventually when wearing this, that moment will occur where I understand what it is this reminds me - where in my scent memory this familiarity comes from. I say oddly because I’m so perplexed that I can’t come up with an association and cannot adequately compare this to anything fully. What I do know is my nose loves this and can’t get enough of the magic SHL conjures up. If I had to start over, had to trade away, or sell off my collection with only a few dozen I could save, SHLs would be staying or if forced to trade, I’d trade several away for a single SHL offering and this would be among those that survived or that I’d start over with.

Self-portrait?

"A picture of a man!" it says!
With "2022 Generation Man" I want to say "A scent of a man!"
As "the racy perfume of handsome, ruthless men" it is called!
And to conclude this adoration - which is here once at the very beginning:
Stéphane Humbert Lucas famously gives each of his fragrances a motto; for "2022 Generation Man" it is:
"A man who owns Dom Perignon Cuvée 53 can't be all bad!" (James Bond)
I guess that's all it takes.
Anyone who has problems with this had better not read any further!

What do I, not a man, but a petite elderly blonde, experience during my rendezvous with this fragrance tycoon?
As the first and fragrance-determining link of this chain of aromas, a powdery hint of oud - woody and dominant - makes its way through this masterpiece.
Whereby companions are always welcome to him:
The spicy oil from the peel of the Japanese yuzu fruit and the tart, fruity aroma of blackcurrant are the first to join.
I also seem to detect a few dashes of mint.
A flash of freshness in the voluminous dark of the woody, the senses brushing oud.
To say it right away: until the end of the fragrance path, these three can not keep up.
Since Galbanum with its resinous and yet balsamic-oily personality already beats better.
In far-reaching scent waves "2022 Generation Man" conquers my skin, takes possession of it and leaves me already slightly confused.
This precious dark-woody spice is tamed by the balsamic warmth of Peru balsam.
The strong conqueror becomes softer, more mature and more self-confident: he no longer has to put his head through the scent wall!
Some (yes, I almost want to say kitchen) spices, whose secret even SHL does not reveal, conclude this fragrance power; they sand off corners and fragrance edges, leaving a charismatic conqueror!
Who nevertheless unmistakably shows that pomp and elegance belong to him quite naturally.

Whew! The first time I just sat there and surrendered almost breathlessly to the fragrance wave that rolled over me:
Tsunami danger!
But give up is not valid; for this, these creations are much too interesting and I'm also much too curious to run away!
So, after collecting myself and arming myself a bit, I find a confusingly fragrant race man who lets his charm play uninhibitedly and even wins as a result!
Wow!
But "Hello!", where are we? James Bond in his original form seems to be back!

Stéphane Humbert Lucas: a charismatic artist and dreamer, describes even the Orient as his "cradle country".
Probably for this reason, his fragrance creations repeatedly follow these familiar and yet so foreign paths, accompanied by sensual scents and shining stars in the sky that seems so mysterious there.

A not too small part of this fragrance philosophy can be found in his series "Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777" and especially in "2022 Generation Man".
Should we encounter him, it is certainly worth listening and engaging with him.
I have not regretted this with this "Generation Man", which has not without reason the subtitle "Generation Black"!
