Bel Ami vibe that's lighter
When I first applied Silhouette, it struck me as very sweet and floral. I didn't get much of any citrus note. As it started to dry, the sweetness and florals pulled back. Surprisingly, I detected a scent that I can only describe as a newly printed magazine - something I only noticed before in Ganymede. It then turned some more and came to the final dry down transition. Didn't take long - maybe about 10 minutes. The best I can describe the endpoint scent is a lighter and fresher Bel Ami. So, Bel Ami is round and thick while Silhouette is sharp, thin and airy. That's not to say it's weak. It's quite strong and has very good performance. Also, Silhouette is masculine in the same way Bel Ami is. I don't think it's redundant to own both. Don't mean to imply that it smells exactly like Bel Ami. It has some part of the Bel Ami DNA, but Silhouette stands on its own. If you like Bel Ami, you would probably like Silhouette. If you don't like Bel Ami, you MAY like Silhouette because it is different. In all cases, test first!
TL;DR - Awesome scent with a Bel Ami vibe and super performance.
