Dua Nomad
Finally a fragrance that is worth a comment. Yes, I like it brutal, loud and long-lasting, that's exactly what I pay money for, plus the fragrance is very beautiful for me and the price is justified due to the economical use.
I know both Ombre Nomade and various dupes. However, Dua delivers the best here, even if this pseudo leather note of ON comes through less here, but more sweetness of raspberry, which is not a problem for me, on the contrary, this dimmed leather / wood note even makes it more wearable. Ombre Nomade Vibes still lasts for hours and is also surrounded by a beautiful sweetness.
So for me the conclusion is clear: if you like more oud notes, go for the original, if you like it a little sweeter and still want the fragrance to last a long time, go for Dua.

Take me now even if I stink, because otherwise I say wave, wave and goodbye....
My headline of course does not mean that one stinks if one sprays sex appeal on, unless one "dieselt" himself with it, yes then one ends up with my headline.
Sex appeal can be discreet if you want, but you do not have to, you can also give the 10 sprüher overkill and the people in the train have in the last car still something of it if you got on in front. So in sillage it lacks the Jovan really not!

Olfactory we move here in quite interesting realms, from the oriental spice bazaar we pilgrimage with Tom Selleck and He- Man (with or without loincloth) straight through the perfumery, where we have sprayed us briefly with Old Spice, Obsession and the dusty Patchouliduft down right in the corner where always these old fragrances are no longer interested in anyone, and go with the two lively girls who just tried to advise us so energetically in the swingers club.

So or so similarly I summarized times the statements to Sex Appeal :-)

On the whole, I can only say: Wow! Here Jovan has brought something, namely a fragrance that lives up to its name, and one of the few for which I got a compliment. So something attractive he must already have in itself.
At the beginning I hear quite strongly clove, clove and again clove, only when this has calmed down a bit, the spices come gradually to it, here the cinnamon joins relatively quickly, as well as cardamom and the sandalwood, which is present quite early. Initially, it reminds me of Old Spice, between the head and middle part, it then reminds me a bit of Obsession (women), but this impression then also subsides, because later the grounding patchouli comes to bear and Sex Appeal shows its independence.

Overall, it can be summarized: for its year of release a well-made fragrance, if perhaps a bit daring, but as you can see, successful to this day. What fascinates me most about the fragrance is the unbeatable P / L ratio, so much (good) fragrance for little money. Here is the damage at blind buy quickly estimated and if you do not like it, there is always a lover!

You're looking for old-fashioned? You get old fashioned
However, I mean here with old-fashioned not oldschool, which means the same, but the nicer word represents, no no, what I mean is old-fashioned, so here really!

Furyo is an extraordinary composition, here lightly aaßige flowers meet austere spices: Clove, cinnamon, thyme. The whole thing is rounded off by earthy patchouli and tart oakmoss. On top still come the animalic notes of musk and civet.

Furyo MUST be used very discreetly, because the smallest sprüher already drills into the nose and honestly, two small pffts are already more than enough, no matter where one sprays this on...
I have next to the Vintage Kouros and Ted Lapidus pour homme no more experienced such a significant impression, all the nicer that there is something like this still, because I like fragrances that are already at 100 kmh at idle speed.

With a spray under the T-shirt on the chest, comes in the nose again and again a spicy-floral note, which is even pleasant in this dosage. Furyo is one of those fragrances that I can not spray me near the face, so in the neck area, as he really makes every food or drink his own.

The durability is quite clearly in the double-digit range and the sillage is well perceptible for a long time. The bottle scores with me with its color scheme, feel and elegance.

All in all, it takes some courage to wear the fragrance outside the house, but with the mask madness most people should not notice too much :P

I will definitely put me another bottle on bunker, because SO I can imagine in the set age to smell!

It works (still)
The year 2021 brings a lot with it in terms of fragrances. However, the question often arises, the majority wants these fragrances at all? I guess for younger (15-25) should fit the exaggerated sweet assortment well, since some intrusive things are there to stand out at wild parties.

One (s) gets older, then comes the time, at least it was with me so the case, as one no longer has so much interest in the sweet party fragrances, or I find very rarely an occasion to wear them. Fortunately then hide (still) fragrances on the shelf of the perfumery with which I would have at that time still wrinkled the nose, meanwhile I'm glad that there are such oldschooler like the paco, or Kouros still, even if they are no longer the same as in the past.
I can still enjoy two copies with real oak moss and honestly wear them more often than any other.

New releases, especially in the oriental and niche area are partly nice, but a good feeling sets with me nevertheless only with the good old fragrances. Paco rabanne pour homme will always remain an unforgotten fragrance jewel for me, even if it disappears completely at some point.

Edit: To the fragrance itself is actually everything already said.
The vintage version which is still in a reddish brown, or amber shade in the bottle, stands out quite clearly from the current version. The Old version immediately ballers the entire spice potpourri out and remains first very long soapy spicy, until the components sort themselves and Slowly also the rose geranium emerges stronger. Honey, amber and oakmoss in the base note are perfectly understandable and the fragrance literally screams to be applied after a wet shave.
This is Barbershop as it's best, also today's fragrance, well my newer bottle is from 2012 after all, gives itself in color no longer so dark, rather dark yellow. The start is somewhat fresher, here comes the rosemary and clary sage more strongly to bear, I suspect that either with my Old Vintage the top note has already evaporated somewhat, or was actually intentionally even dimmer.
More power has of course the old, although rather in a subtle way, but also the newer is not a child of sadness, I can still clearly perceive him after 8-10h.
The sillage I find is the newer even a little stronger, but here it is the spices and herbs are almost better integrated, while the Vintage, however, is still noticeably driven the aldehyde rail and he remains only times over hours strongly soapy.

This stimulates me by the way to test the latest batches, since I can only report on these two versions, but I will add after an extensive test again.

Until then, I can say the Pour Homme is a men's fragrance of the first order and it does not play such a big role of which year you now get hold of a bottle.

Melancholy to the power of 10
Revillon R certainly makes no prisoners, however, it is a fragrance that screws into the nose. I received at the time kindly from a Parfumo colleague in a purchase of another fragrance a restflakon which held me long, because I did not wear the fragrance, but rather sprayed on the back of the hand to reminisce over and over again. Not memories of the fragrance itself, but of the century in which it was created...
It's hard to explain, but even if R had only been released in 2010, it would beam me back to the 90s just as much.

Many know it for sure, fragrances do not have to be finely chiseled and not every note must be perfectly matched to the other, just as little must be able to name each individual fragrance note, it is simply a certain duftakkord immediately stimulates a few gehirnwindungen and puts you in a certain memory. That's exactly the kind of scent I'm looking for, and with R de Revillon I found one. Thierry Muglers B men is also such a fragrance that triggers the same emotions with me, without that I want to compare the fragrances with each other.

Ok, I admit, that was now all very emotionally considered.
Subjectively, R de Revillon is nothing more than a well-made woody-fresh fragrance of the 90s with a (for its time) underground durability. Rather a skin scent with a good sillage in the first hour. In this fragrance, however, it is difficult for me to name the individual components, because this fragrance always invites me to revel in the past.

But I advise everyone who loves the 90s (like me) to test the fragrance simply times.

Edit: Revillon R is a "in the past everything was still good" fragrance. when I smell it I immediately think of beautiful events in my childhood, therefore perhaps this melancholy...
