Back in 1992, I got lucky enough to try this gem. It’s a super masculine fougère; I wore it twice and I’m still hunting for it in 2025, so it’s probably discontinued. A true work of art. If you’re looking to track it down, try the Club Select line at O’Boticario—it’s very similar.

A masterpiece. It was the best thing about my youth. I treated it like a treasure from Luxor, knowing I’d never find that special scent again.

I own it. Lasts 7 to 8 hours with moderate projection. The opening is strong and smells a lot like Azzaro Pour Homme but woodier, with a very sharp anise kick. I have the 30ml mini. It’s not cheap (around $50) and it’s best reserved for winter use. I absolutely love it. A gentleman of secret intentions and audacity. A rarity that needs to be preserved and enjoyed.

Ahhh, why did you leave? You were a beast that needed taming. The first time I tried you, I didn’t like you, but I gave you another chance and you stole my heart. Why did you leave? Without a doubt, the best of the 80s.
