  The first thing that catches my attention is that leather notes aren’t listed. At first, it smells a bit like The Golden Secret by Antonio Banderas, but it changes over time.

  Here’s another creation that didn’t win me over at first, but at such a steal of a price ($15), walking away would be a sin. What a surprise when I saw Michel Almairac’s name on it and decided to give it a second chance without the bias from my 2014 test. Michel already has quite a roster of men under his belt, and some discontinued scents can leave more than one person sad, unable to drop $350 on an Escada Magnetism, GPH 1, or Lui de Rochas. It’s clear this spiced woody fragrance for men didn’t achieve the commercial success expected, but I believe it’s a great creation, unjustly forgotten—perhaps overshadowed by Salvador in its early version, which some friends say is nothing short of superb. While Salvador by Salvador Dalí (2010) is an innocent aroma, I’d describe it as a fresh woody fragrance with many attributes; a reimagining of the house’s concepts for today’s times. First off, its opening is strange, saturated with complex impressions, yet with a fruity edge coming from the pear—a very long-lived fruit that’s handled beautifully. It’s unusual to see this fruit paired with incense and amber, which hold the composition together while the rest of the notes linger. One thing I appreciate is that vanilla isn’t the star; its presence is subtle. Overall, it reminds me at times of CK Truth mixed with Minotaure by Paloma Picasso, but in a darker order with a retro twist on the classics. In conclusion; you can still find it in online stores at very reasonable prices. If you don’t own anything by Mr. Almairac and you’re over 38, there’s no loss here, because while the price is great, what truly sets this apart is the fragrance itself. On top of that, it’s a true four-season, multi-surface scent. Moderate projection and 8 hours of longevity (with some application).

  Okay, here’s another creation that didn’t convince me at first, but at $15, letting it go would be a sin. Tremendous surprise to see Michel Almairac’s signature and realize I should revisit my 2014 test偏见. Mr. Almairac has several classics in his history, and some discontinued ones can leave anyone depressed seeing that Escada Magnetism, GPH 1, or Lui de Rochas cost $350. It’s clear this spicy woody men’s fragrance didn’t achieve the commercial success expected, yet I believe it’s a great creation, unjustly forgotten—perhaps due to the shadow of Salvador in its early version, which some say is superb. While Salvador by Salvador Dali (2010) is harmless, I think it’s a fresh woody fragrance with many attributes: a reimagining of the house’s concepts for the era. First, its opening is strange, saturated with complex impressions but with a sharp pear fruitiness, very long-lasting and well-handled. It’s atypical to see this fruit paired with incense and amber, which hold the composition together while the rest of the notes linger. One thing I appreciate is that vanilla isn’t the star; its role is subtle. The overall vibe reminds me of CK Truth mixed with Minotaure by Paloma Picasso, but darker and with a classic twist. In conclusion: you can still find it in online stores at very reasonable prices. If you don’t own anything by Mr. Almairac and you’re over 38, there’s no loss here. Though the price is great, the fragrance’s nature surpasses it. Plus, it’s all-season and multi-surface. Average projection and 8 hours of longevity (with proper application).

  Very poor performance from this fragrance by master Michel Almairac, the creator of the perfume of my life, Minotaure by Paloma Picasso. It’s just a burst of pear at first, and then I don’t feel the other elements that make up the scent. I expected something better, but not every shot in life goes as planned.

  Pleasant to the point of annoyance, but not much more. What a pity. It’s not spectacular or loud; it’s spicy and masculine with a Coca-Cola note I absolutely love. The downside is it smells watery and weak; it lasts about 5 hours but feels diluted. It’s hard to detect, though it becomes more noticeable in heat. The bottle is massive and super Dalí. Reminded me of Loewe’s Solo, but this one is simpler, fun, and sparkly, with less cinnamon and nutmeg.

  Very poor performance from this fragrance by master Michel Almairac, the creator of my all-time favorite, Minotaure by Paloma Picasso. Only the pear explodes at the start, and then I smell nothing else. I expected better, but not everything in life is a hit.

  It’s the most mysterious of all—not because it’s rare, but because after an hour, it smells like nothing at all. A total disaster.
