For fans of Bvlgari Black, eat your heart out.
What would happen if you took the suede accord from Ganymede, some of the florals from Tom of Finland and you removed the Lapsang Souchong from Bvlgari Black? Then you would be in the ballpark of The Grey by Nonfiction. The magnolia sets this fragrance in motion an also gives it a unique character, just like the tea accord achieved in BB.
Sometimes it's ok to be simpleton and say THIS SMELLS GOOD bc..it does. Bonus, it performs extremely well floating around for 6-8 hours and forever on skin! I love this scent profile, it's really what got me into this smelly hobby. Here, it is done extremely well by Maurice Roucel. The drydown has much more nuance and character than the scents I mentioned above save maybe Ganymede.
Lightly smokey, lightly resinous, a woody warmth, a suede accord, some fresh brushstrokes of floral touches, with a lovely warm benzoin. Feels like a modern suede in the realm of Animalique from Byredo, but dial down the sugar and dial up some warmth--sensuality. If you are a fan of this style this is a must try, imo.
Really digging these bottles too!
