Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
To put it simply: it’s Dior Homme with Midnight in Paris at the opening, very cool. Then it evolves on its own and becomes interesting. It’s not a beast in projection, but the longevity is more than enough and it fits any occasion. A modern oriental that many will love, warm and spicy, with a flawless quality-to-price ratio. Pure elegance from the Sejano77 collection.
Agreeing with the previous reviews. It’s a bit less potent than DH, making it ideal for the office, meetings, or work dinners; it adds seriousness and distinction. Not for jeans and a t-shirt. It’s not annoying, lasts about 6-8 hours, and is versatile for spring, autumn, and summer nights. I think it’s for people over 30. I’m absolutely in love with its quality-to-price ratio.
Just to give you an idea: it’s 50% Midnight in Paris and 50% Dior Homme. It’s a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Dior Homme with touches of aromatic tea and rosemary like Midnight. The opening is potent, reminiscent of Dior Homme, and it has excellent quality and versatility. The scent bubble lasts a good while, very good. The rosemary gives it a special touch, and the fresh mentholated cedar softens the iris. Try it first; I think it’s great for this summer. Every skin will highlight different notes, but generally it works very well and is elegant.
I saw the notes and imagined the scent… upon trying it, my theory was confirmed: it’s a less intense clone of Dior Homme. Nothing more to say.
