If there were only a few roses...
I bought this blind. Unfortunately, it is a typical rose-oud combo.
Rose is dominant at the beginning, and soon leather comes in with raspberries.
This reminded me of TF Tuscan Leather. But the raspberries don't last long.
After about 30 minutes, the rose remains, supporting the oud and incense.
Leather is still present, but the oud is relatively more prominent than the leather.
After the drydown, it becomes quite harmonious, so not unpleasant.
It almost smells slightly sweet woody (oud). This reminded me of Gucci Intense Oud.
I cannot compare it to Ombre Nomade by Louis Vuitton.
Probably in the end, it could go in the direction of Ombre Nomade (drydown).
But at least the beginning of the scent is different, due to the rose.
At the very beginning, it was almost like Maahir by Lattafa or typical Middle Eastern fragrances because of the rose.
Beginning: typical rose-oud combo, personally unpleasant,
Middle: slightly milder due to raspberries,
End: finally harmonious
The bottle is very beautiful, a downside is that the magnetic strength of the cap is weak,
so one should not lift the bottle just by the cap.

At the Beach Under the Summer Sun
Today I tested this. It gives me the feeling of walking on the beach.
At first, the ginger reminds me of Dior Homme Sport or Cologne, but then
the watermelon comes out and transforms into a subtle aquatic hue.
Although it is EDP concentration, the sillage and longevity are relatively weak.
It lasts only 3-4 hours on my skin. I find it better on clothing.
It is not masculine, rather unisex.
The year of release is 2022 and the perfumer is Jérôme Epinette.

Siblings of Voyage
When I was looking for a sport fragrance instead of Voyage, I found CR7 Play It Cool. At that time, Voyage cost over 20 euros and CR7 Play It Cool was just under 16 euros. So I took it without hesitation.
You can't find much in common in the fragrance notes, yet I smell similarities.
The differences are that Voyage has a more delicate floral scent than Play It Cool and doesn't have a sweet fragrance.
In my opinion, Play It Cool is more playful and better suited for teenagers, probably because I noticed a sweet chewing gum scent in it.
It's a blend of the fresh scent of Voyage and a bit of the sweet scent of Invictus or Invictus Aqua.
The top note hits the nose with a sweet fruity scent, and at the same time, the maritime note comes to the nose. This made me feel fresh and sporty. And then the sweet scent of tonka bean developed the playful image.
The sillage is strong for 1 hour and the longevity is not bad. It stayed on my skin for 6 hours.
The bottle also doesn't look cheap. The clear blue color of the bottle says: I am a summer fragrance! Although the cap and silver-colored decoration are made of plastic, it doesn't look that cheap.
If someone is looking for a sport fragrance or a summer fragrance for teenagers and those in their 20s, I can gladly recommend this.

A sweet seductive scent for low-budget
Basil hits the nose with a spicy scent, while the sweetness of maple syrup has struck the nose. My nose was overwhelmed by the maple syrup, so I couldn't smell the floral scent of neroli. After a while, the delicate scent of wood spread, along with the sweetness of tonka beans. Finally, the combination of amber and vanilla gave an oriental feel, enhancing the spicy and sweet fragrance and evolving into a seductive scent.
The sillage is strong for the first 1.5 - 2 hours. The longevity is also good. It stayed on my skin for 8 hours.
The bottle also looks chic. The dark blue bottle is heavy enough and has a metal cap. This cap is a magnetic cap. The cap and the side of the bottle have a decoration with a tire pattern made of plastic. If this black plastic decoration were rubber, it would have been a bit more luxurious. Still, it already looks good.
It is a good scent for autumn and winter and is more classic than casual, so it is more suitable for well-dressed outings, evening dates rather than for everyday wear.
Most fragrances from sports brands are the typical drugstore perfumes that come to mind. Usually, such scents smell cheap or have poor longevity.
But Legacy Private Edition has reasonable and good quality, even though it is under 30 euros per 100 ml.
I believe there is a matter of taste regarding this, as the combination of sweet notes from maple syrup and spicy-oriental notes is not common for men's fragrances.
If someone likes the sweet scent of maple syrup, I can recommend this. And if one tries it without prejudice, they will probably be satisfied with it.

It's Not Dark
I bought the 2018 version. It is not dark, so it is lighter than Tobacco Collection RWA, and because of the top notes (mint and apple) it reminded me of Versace Eros. (and the atmosphere as well) I believe Tobacco Collection - IDE 2018 version is a fragrance for spring and autumn. So, it doesn't suit the cold winter.
