Smells like the inside of a woman’s handbag. I absolutely love it; it brings back so many memories and is super nostalgic.
Very overrated. I finished the bottle but will never buy it again because I’m not a fan and it’s not my style. It smells like a mature, masculine man. My wife loved it, but I didn’t so much. The fragrance is fresh but quite formal. A 7/10.
Very reliable, I finished the bottle and will never buy it again because I just don’t like it and it’s not my style. It smells like a mature, masculine man. My wife loved it, but I didn’t so much. The fragrance is fresh but quite formal. A 7/10.
I own this perfume. It’s clean, elegant, and a bit complex to understand. I’ve had it for a year and a half and I’m about halfway through the bottle; I think I’ll wear it again in autumn because its notes are perfect for that season. At first, it’s strong and woody, which might make some think it’s a bad perfume, but if you give it a chance, you’ll realize it dries down to something splendid, with lots of personality and seriousness, perhaps best for the office. Lasts 6 to 8 hours on my skin.

I’ve had it for a year and a half and I’m still over halfway through the bottle; I think I’ll use it again in the fall because its notes are perfect for that season. At first, it smells strong and woody, which might make some think it’s a bad perfume, but if you give it a chance, you’ll see that once it dries down, it’s splendid, full of personality and seriousness—maybe best for the office.

Hi… Quick question. I just bought it as a gift. It’s strong when applied, but once it settles on the skin, it seems pleasant. I was wondering how well it might suit someone who normally wears One Million by Paco Rabanne.
That’s true, AngelMarc, it happened to me too. I tested it on my wrist and liked it, so I bought it immediately. But when I applied it at home, I smelled an unpleasant, almost synthetic scent. I tried to fix it by mixing it with another fragrance, but in the end, I gave it away; I just couldn’t stand it…
My dad gave it to me, but I could never tolerate it; there was something about this perfume I didn’t like, maybe the combination of a slightly synthetic vanilla with the benzoin and ginger. Honestly, I couldn’t explain it. Once it dried on my skin, the scent was tolerable, forcing me to apply very little so people noticed I was wearing it but didn’t actually smell it. In the end, my dad liked how it stayed on him and swapped it for an Armani Code he had, so I’ll be eternally grateful.
You’re right, AngelMarc, it happened to me too. I tried it on my wrist and liked it, bought it on the spot, but when I applied it at home, I felt an unpleasant, almost synthetic scent. I tried to fix it by mixing it with another fragrance, but in the end I gave it away; I just couldn’t stand it…
My dad gifted me this, but I never could stand it; there was something about it I just didn’t like, maybe the semi-synthetic vanilla blended with benzoin and ginger. Honestly, I couldn’t quite explain it. Once it dried on my skin, the scent was tolerable, so I had to apply it sparingly so people noticed I was wearing it without actually smelling it. In the end, my dad loved how long it lasted on him and swapped it for an Armani Code he had, which I’m eternally grateful for.
