From that high-quality catalog, I bought two for my mother’s friend in 2013 after testing them. Flamboyant is the best of the three I own, though like Fuse or GGM, it eventually gets nose-tiring. It smells of sweet, not too acidic citrus, with a hint of medicine, gin, and that white tape adhesive scent plus a vanilla nuance. Ideal for a college girl in formal afternoon wear. It doesn’t smell masculine; it’s more unisex—I think it’s a men’s perfume made to please women, but without the strength or charisma to conquer. It comes across as too boring and cloying for daytime use.

If you want to know what this smells like, I’ll tell you: it’s like sharpening a pencil. It has strong echoes of the discontinued Insense (yellow) jewel by Givenchy; it’s a tender unisex-masculine fragrance that wants to stand out from the crowd and be niche. No one talks about it, but if you want to break the mold, give it a try. At family gatherings, where there’s almost always politics, no relative has ever told me how good I smell. Like it or not, with this, you’ll never go unnoticed.

I’m not sure if it’s the laurel, the excessive cardamom, or the many citrus notes (I think it’s the latter) that turn me off, even though it’s quite mild. This happened to me too, but even more strikingly with Chrome Legend by Azzaro; they’re different, but there’s something that just kills it for my nose.
