  I’m almost done with my review of Sukimuki 16. With this one, I had to try it three times to get it right, but yes… it’s the jewel of the men’s collection. The blend of bergamot and leather creates a liquor-like sensation, very masculine; for me, it’s season-neutral, but it points to evening wear, like bars or nights out with friends. The vetiver and geranium add freshness (I detect patchouli, but it doesn’t reach floral), so I don’t see it as ideal for spring/summer on very hot days. I’ve finished the decant and ordered the full bottle (along with the 17 for my girlfriend, the 12, 10, and 1 for my mom). Rating: 9.5/10.

  I just finished my review of Sukimuki 16. With this one, I had to try it three times to get it right, but yes… it’s the best in the men’s line. The combination of bergamot and leather gives a liquor-like touch, quite masculine; for me, it’s season-neutral, but it suggests evening wear, like at bars or gatherings with friends. The vetiver and geranium bring freshness (I detect patchouli, but it doesn’t feel floral), so it’s not ideal for spring/summer, at least on very hot days. I’ve used up the decant and ordered the full bottle (along with the 17 for my girlfriend, the 12, 10, and 1 for my mom). Rating: 9.5/10.

  Citrus and leather with a slightly animal touch, period. Very pleasant to wear, the best from this house. 9/10

  It’s a complex fragrance for untrained noses. At first sniff, it smells like fresh mint but isn’t quite that, and the green, earthy notes feel more opaque—like green olive, though not as dark as the Sukimuki color suggests. This is my first real encounter with these notes at full strength. I agree it has a liquor-like aroma, that strong alcoholic opening that eventually yields to dark, earthy nuances. I wished it were brighter, greener, and fresher to be more versatile; maybe the 15 was my option, but I was looking for something more elegant, like a Carlo Corinto Classic. It can seem very mature, like a dad’s cologne, and people are right that it’s the most niche in its line. It’s curious; you have to wait for the right climate and see if oxidation improves it. For now, I don’t find it heavy or too difficult to wear, but it requires a specific occasion and purpose. It’s elegant and seems to reflect a personality, perhaps a masculine one. Edit: I just tried YSL ULTIME and they smell very similar in the dry down, though Sukimuki is more strident; if you liked ULTIME, this is a great alternative.
