When I first heard of the comparisons to Versace Man, I was very doubtful, as I own and love Man and could not get into my head how an oud-based scent could be similar to a saffron-based scent. Now that I've owned it for some time I must say it is very similar to Man, but with deeper and more fullfilled notes. More oud...
Read review →Reviewing the vintage version in a dark blue bottle. This perfume is more about "that what is not", all that is in between. The sum of it all is just much more than the notes in common. An 80's powerhouse with a mediterranean feel based on moss, amber and leather, but very clean. Opening with lavender and hints of alde...

Read review →I borrowed this at the gym from a friend after a workout (mental note: always remember your personal smells) and yes, he is about five years older than me. Anyway I gave two sprays of this beast to the chest and two to the neck and BAZINGA! : instantly I was Cologne Guy oozing man from the mid-eighties. This stuff shou...
Read review →Not a heavy woods scent as might be expected from the name, but more of an airy, fresh, summery and slightly fruity concoction with added Iso-E Super. Opening with lemon and blackcurrant, this one gives way to sweet, somewhat muted cedar with hints of apricot in the heart and ends on a base of vetiver and white musk. V...
Read review →Patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, leather and even some incense interact in ways that makes it hard for me to keep track of top, heart and basenotes. The scent to me is not constructed by the individual notes, but is actually a sum of all the notes together. It gives off the notion of someone mysterious, the sense that t...
Read review →First off, Riflesso is not something that has not been seen before - slightly fruity, slightly dry, slightly powdery and leaning to the mature side, it comes off as a suede-like composition for fans of La Nuit de l'Homme with added leather. The scent has a very appealing mix of apple, bergamot, lavender, musk and vetiv...
Read review →Opening with bergamot & citrus, after about 20 minutes enters the drydown with lots of lavender, clary sage with a shot of geranium, cedar and fern thrown in the mix. The base consists of oakmoss, tonka and some musk. To me it seems strong in projection and very traditional. If you're into early 80s types of masculine...

Read review →This opens with a great, dusty dry incense/pencil note without any sweetness at all - kinda like Gucci PH or a cleaner blast of Balmain Carbone with incense and peppery coriander. The sweetness then comes slowly creeping from the opoponax disguised as a resinous vanilla wrapped in amber. I do get a hint of the menthol/...
Read review →The opening is heavy on tonka and vanilla and reminds me of Allure Homme, then the leather blends in, at which stage there is some resemblance to Spicebomb. As the drydown enters, I can see why people compare this to The One for men, the main difference being the ginger being replaced by (vanilla) orchid. This makes th...
