Lautus Navitus Parfums 2020
A Good Fougere
On paper this has a very spearminty and lavender vibe. It must be how the top notes are all blending but that is what you get off the top and you dry down to a nice creamy fougere. It is ok.
On skin, it wears like an old school classic and definitely is above the grade. I get a very strong connection to the type of fougere like Creed's Bois de Portugal, Naughton & Wilson's Gravatas Pour Homme, and Tom Ford's Beau de Jour in both scent, projection, and longevity. If you would have handed it to me and said, this is a clone of the fragrances mentioned, I would have believed you.
You get the same enveloping creamyness of the sandalwood along with the nice herbal notes of a fougere. To me, it is a linear scent once you get past the 'minty' opening feel on my nose, it turns right into a classic.
It really doesn't break out from those fragrances but it is very pleasant and a great addition. I would recommend this fragrance but get the discovery kit first or decant and then wait for the discounts to hit.
