Rubikon66

Very sweet, very synthetic, very annoying, and fades away quickly. Supposedly fougère-oriental (according to the manufacturer).

A bold, niche attempt. A brief chili kick leads into a wrestling match of tolu balsam and dark rose, with no winner. Test at R.

Rounder than the original (tested in direct comparison). Nice scent with weak sillage and low longevity.

Tested it twice and I don't get it: solvent + mushy fruit = scent? Solar musk? I'd rather have a pan-galactic gargle blaster...

Gentle rose oud with plum jam and a hint of quince jelly in an amber-vanilla winter coat with wooden shoes on Rodeo Drive. A pleasant surprise.
