Nuclear, floral, musky soap
I picked up the modern version of this 80s drugstore scent that is well-known (or infamous rather) in the UK. It opens with spicy citrus and immediately goes into a nuclear, floral, musky soap. A very old-school fresh out of the shower sort of thing. The huge dose of musk makes it go powdery in the dry-down. The vintage version by Shulton often gets compared to big pissy florals like Roccobarocco Joint and Bogart Furyo, maybe it had civet; this formulation does not.
It's one of the most projecting fragrances in my collection. Do. Not. Overspray. And don't spray the wrist and bring it close to your nose either, because the harsh musky soap overload will induce Viet Nam flashbacks of grandma's bathroom. One single spray on the nape is all it takes to enjoy Rapport.
There are better, higher quality musky soap bombs in production (some Pradas instantly come to mind), but heck, for only €8, Rapport can hit the spot on casual occasions, especially when I'm feeling nostalgic.
