If you like a characterful, vintage, and aromatic scent, this is it. At first, it smells very green and spicy. Then, as it settles on the skin, ginger, basil, geranium, and a touch of oakmoss become clear, giving a leather and amber vibe. In the mid-phase, ivy and patchouli appear, adding an earthy note. I don’t get the blackcurrant or vetiver, maybe because the geranium covers them, but that adds to its dark character. It’s a well-rounded, mature, and dark fragrance. It reminds me a lot of Nishane’s Anutaman; there are similarities, but Vaadhoo is a bit brighter and fits a more avant-garde style. I see it as an all-season scent, except for extreme heat. It’s not super versatile, but works well for night, evenings, and outings. Maybe not for the office if you apply it generously. With 5 sprays, it lasts 10 hours: strong at first, then fading to a pleasant personal bubble. Great trail and longevity, ideal for formal or semi-formal wear, leaning masculine. Scent 8/10, Trail 9/10, Longevity 8.5/10, Projection 8.5/10.
What does this smell like? Ginger with basil and ivy over a woody base. It’s not very original; it reminds me of others, but with clear differences: here, the quality is exceptional. It’s green, fresh, elegant, and refined. Very versatile, suitable for everyday wear and special occasions; it works well in winter and summer thanks to its freshness and woody base. It has good performance and trail, without being too loud. In short, I liked it, but the issue is the high price; I’m not sure it’s worth it given there are cheaper alternatives, though in my opinion, they are lower quality.
An exquisite fragrance. Although listed as unisex, I think it suits men better; on a male pH, it exudes a lot of sensuality. It feels thirty-something, perfect for warm climates (though it wouldn’t be bad in winter either) and relaxed. The scent reminds me of beautiful Mediterranean beaches in summer. A bit sweet, but not gourmand; it’s a more floral and botanical sweetness, with a wonderful creaminess that wraps around very masculine and elegant woods. I don’t think it’s a mass-pleaser, but I wish scents like this became more popular. The man wearing it will receive compliments from both women and men (as my husband confessed to me).
Rich fragrance. While testing it, I knew it reminded me of something familiar; and yes, risking sounding crazy, I compared it side-by-side with Gres’ Piece Unique. Even though I don’t consider them clones, my nose sees similarities; they also share notes and style: spicy and piquant opening, floral heart, and patchouli base here, while the PU is musky. I think it’s a good unisex alternative at a ridiculous price compared to Vaadhoo.
