Torino21(T21) offers a beautiful green summer option that can be dressed up or down. It is extremely versatile and could easily be pulled off by a woman.

T21 has a minty and herbaceous opening. It is both cooling and refreshing. The top notes project on my skin for about an hour. After the top notes shift to the dry down I’m left with a calming floral scent that is truly unisex. The mint stays in the background during the remainder of the scent.

Overall, I experience about six hours of longevity. The first ninety minutes it projects about five feet with moderate sillage. I’ve received a variety of compliments from both men and women. It is definitely office safe and can be worn year round. However, it shines best during the summer.

If I had to describe how I feel when I wear it, I can say T21 reminds me of summers when I was a young man enjoying a mojito drink while smelling a blooming garden surrounded by fresh cut grass. Completely relaxed and taking in the scenery and the scent of the surroundings.

T21 is a great fragrance, but if you’re concerned about the price, I recommend checking out Montagne Parfums Torino 2021. It is about $40 and smells exceptionally similar. I own the original and the dupe. I’m very satisfied with both.

I hope you enjoy T21 as much as I do.

Visionary is a pleasant citrusy tea scent that works perfectly for the warm spring and summer months. It is bright and uplifting. It can be worn day/night and in an office. It pulls compliments and won’t offend anyone. It lasts about 8 hours on my skin and projects for the initial 1-2 hours. I haven’t tried LV Imagination so I can’t speak for how close Visionary is to the original. For the price of Visionary and its quality it is definitely worth a purchase.

MU is a great and versatile scent for a very reasonable price. It definitely follows the Sauvage Parfum path. It is a scent that has a slightly citrusy opening that doesn’t overpower a room. It quickly unfolds into a fragrance that exposes the patchouli and vetiver that is surrounded by a hint of light incense. The incense is not powerful in the way one experiences Interlude or in church. The incense is more comforting than anything.

MU can be worn day or night and during any season. It also has hallmarks of professional scent that can be worn in an office. To put it simply, MU is a nice fragrance that will pull compliments and make you smell like a professional man that has his act together. For the price of about $25 you can’t do much better.

With Boss Absolu and the elixir getting all the recent smoke I believe this beauty has hidden in plain sight.

Boss Bottled Parfum (BBP) is a quality flanker that doesn’t follow the latest trend of super sweet or citrusy men’s fragrances. BBP opens with a subtle mandarin orange rind note that is flanked by incense. After about 30 minutes to an hour it smooths out with a light touch of floral before settling into a more green leather base. The incense note lingers in the background throughout the life of this fragrance.

This gem would certainly do well in the fall or winter months. It can also handle the spring and cooler summer days as long as you are mindful of the trigger.

Overall, BBP lasts about 6-8 hours with an arm’s length of projection. This scent can be dressed upped or slightly down. This is definitely a man’s fragrance. Boys need not apply.

If you like the classical Green Irish Tweed you are going to enjoy this fougere. The camphor, lavender, hay and oakmoss are built in such a way you will feel like a gentleman that knows a thing or two about the world. You can expect to get approximately seven to eight hours of longevity with about two hours of projection. In my opinion, this one outperforms GIT by a considerable margin.

If you already have GIT I would pass on this one until you need a new bottle. If you love GIT, but don’t love its price, pick this one up and you’ll be doing just fine.
