A unique summer fougere

This one is a must have staple in my summer collection. I have a small but fine collection where I limit myself to only own 6 fragrances for summer and 6 for winter for a total of 12 fragrances:
2 for going out/evenings,
2 for office/work/formal
2 for casual/daily wear.
Each for summer and winter.

The original Mefisto is already amazing but gives a rather floral and unisex vibe. This one takes the very same DNA (around 70% identical) and gives it a much more masculine touch.

As a fragrance lover, i much more lean towards freshies as my preference. I love the Aventuses, LV Imaginations, Xerjoff Renaissance or PdM Greenley's of this world. Freshies however usually have the same vibe: citrussy, orangy and fresh. This Mefisto here is different. It has a fresh Fougere aura to it, especially in the opening. Its perfect for the summer but adds a very pleasant powdery touch to it in the drydown. As the name suggest, its very gentlemanly and does smell expensive or luxurious. I have this as my Office fragrance next to Terre d'Hermes. The latter is the classical office freshie, very formal, elegant and slightly edgy. Mefisto on the other hand is soft, powdery while still having a fougere DNA. This makes Mefisto Gentiluommo hyper unique in my collection. I will make sure I always have a bottle around :)

great idea to limit the collection in that way.
