Geco is quite decent but not what I'm looking for. The dealbreaker is the longevity. After 3-4 hours, it’s game over, and at this price point, that’s not enough, unfortunately.
It starts with a sharp alcohol note, which thankfully doesn’t smell like cheap hooch. Then a punch in the face - someone just took a whiff from the nutmeg jar - wow, I see stars.
After a few minutes, it becomes fruitier. I first smell coconut. This very vaguely reminds me of a woody/nutmeg Malibu. My wife perceives more of a plum note. I smell that too, but a bit later. More like a spiced plum schnapps, then back to coconut again.
In between, there are spices. First, nutmeg/cedarwood is dominant. In the base, delicious vanilla comes in. This is where the scent gets really good, with a slight sweetness, a bit spicy, and very subtle rum. Well balanced in the base. It would be really great if I didn’t have to do a forward roll to land my nose on my chest.
There’s hardly any sillage left, and I have to actively sniff to enjoy this wonderful composition. Argh! Nevertheless, in terms of mood, you sit with a glass by the wood stove and enjoy the view of the winter landscape from the warmth.
Even on clothing, the scent doesn’t last much longer. A quick shower and then the last scent relic was history. :(
Good, but with performance flaws & the price asked is not entirely justifiable. The rum is initially too nutmeg-heavy for me, but pleasantly soft in the base.
It's interesting how scents develop differently on the skin. One of my favorites is H, which lasts 7 hours, and S is also noticeable for 3 hours. It's really a fantastic composition. Among rum-based fragrances, it's currently the best one I personally know.
No, but the bottle and the lady with the aviator glasses are totally my style :)
I ordered it as a sample and it should arrive soon, thanks for the tip!
