"Little brother without schnapps"
(Attention, first review. Please bear with me)
He's a good one. Really, REALLY good. Hardly DHI to my nose, but very closely related to Gentleman Reserve Privee.
Almost twins, but no whisky was entrusted to the "little one". The opening is correspondingly softer, somewhat gentler and tamer. Fruitier, sweeter and a little fresher. The chestnut also makes its presence felt a few minutes earlier in direct comparison.
The iris (and what a beautiful one - in both cases) is there right at the beginning and finds its way into the foreground, where it then nestles softly and powderily against the leather. Together they are warm, homely, yet always present in a restrained way.
They are VERY similar in DD. I can see differences, but really only when I wear both at the same time.
He's less the leather jacket-wearing, slightly disreputable gentleman on the bar stool. He leaves that to the reserve privee.
He's his buddy, a little more playful, not quite the go-getter. He COULD, but doesn't want to at the moment. H/S...well, he's a little less persistent, not quite as extroverted. But you can always take him again.
For me an absolute recommendation and a safe blind buy if you like DHI or Reserve Privee. Has daily potential in fall and winter, even for work. And for THAT price, you really can't go wrong here.
If necessary, if you don't like it at all, you have a great gift for someone with a leather jacket.
