I grabbed this at a steal of a deal and absolutely love the scent. It reminds me of my Chanel Platinum Egoiste, but Cardigan is way more potent. I put it on at 8 AM and when I got home at 10 PM, it was still going strong; with the Chanel, it only lasts about 6 hours. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something affordable that actually performs.

I grabbed it at a super cheap price and absolutely loved it. Reminded me of my Chanel Platinum Egoiste, but Cardigan feels more imposing. I sprayed it at 8 am and it was still going at 10 pm, whereas the Chanel lasted only 6 hours. Recommended for anyone looking for something affordable and reliable.

Very rich, manly, and woody. Elegant; I had a friend who loved it when we were kids. The cypress gives it a mentholated and camphorated sensation; it’s the epitome of herbal, very potent, smells clean, a bit astringent… I love it. It reminds me a lot of classic Polo Green.

This fragrance smells like Castilian rosemary. At first, the scent is pleasant, but after half an hour, it starts to get annoying—it’s like smelling freshly dressed food. I didn’t like it at all; it feels like a cologne for an old man.

Cardigan is a charming clone of Guy Laroche’s Drakkar Noir. That’s why it’s mentholated, citrusy, and slightly powdery; it feels classic (not outdated), formal, sensual, and elegant. I especially recommend it for casual evening wear.

This is my go-to herbal scent. I love it for certain occasions, always using just a few sprays to keep it moderate in this warm city where I live. I adore it and will always keep one in my closet or something very similar.

A friend of mine absolutely loved this men’s fragrance by Esika for its herbal and fresh vibe. Honestly, I always got a 50-year-old man vibe from it. My surprise was learning it’s similar to Drakkar Noir.

Smells like Castilian rosemary; it’s okay at first but gets tiring after half an hour, like freshly dressed food. I didn’t like it at all, more for an old man.
Bryan Parfums
The Esika Drakkar Noir is an 80s aroma that smells like an older man, cleanliness, and neatness. Not my cup of tea. Cheers.

It’s a very stately, potent, and vintage fragrance for my taste.
