For the mature man. No boys allowed
The phrase "fresh and clean" makes my skin crawl, probably because I associate it with people who make cleanliness feel like a personality trait, who turn basic hygiene into aspirational lifestyle content, who kind of make you feel like a slob just by existing. Meanwhile, I hate to shower (I do it, but I don't like a single second of it!) and generally resent having to participate in hygiene theater; the whole thing is exhausting. Wood and Absinth sidesteps this entire obnoxious charade. Saponified anise, woody-soapiness that hits the sweet spot of ease; herbal bitterness like the toothpaste I'd choose because mint grosses me out, because the sight of someone working gum in their mouth makes me want to puke, because what's wrong with breath that smells like bagels and lox anyway. This is uncomplicated, which I mean as praise—not complex, not trying to conjure memories or transport you somewhere else, just a reliable background scent for everyday wearing when I don't want to think about it, but I also want something that smells like me. Wood, water, bitter leaves; simple, straightforward ingredients that coalesce in a scent that is ....what would I call this? An unfussy staple, slightly elevated? A functional fragrance, unembellished but not boring? This is a competent perfume that might benefit from a less clunky summation, but I'm not sure if a fragrance that's merely competent deserves much more work on my part.
Not usually a fan of a myrrh note but here I can actually smell its beauty as it pairs with a bit of iris and a lot of saffron. I like the fragrance a lot generally speaking. Only because of the myrrh I’m not tempted to buy a bottle. The extrair collection as a whole it’s absolutely stunning and tho.
Iced lemon slices in a cut glass bowl, encased in ice; fresh, crisp herbs soaking in ice water, subtle as a lacy front or two. The memory of a glass of sweet white wine, a honeyed, floral Gewürztraminer wisp; round, rich, luscious, and strangely absent for all its suggestion. Somewhere between charming and refreshing, gentle with a glint in its eye; Not overly polite yet definitely inoffensive, nothing weird you can put your finger on, but there's a phantom shimmer, a flickering presence, an impossible-to-name thing, which makes it either perfectly frustrating or frustratingly perfect.
Best in my collection so good for anything anywhere.
One of my favorites good for anywhere very Standard cologne but simple is some times better. It’s starts of very bland but the dry down turns more into a flower floral Woody mix. very good!
Very good Masculine and fresh cologne this is good for anywhere anytime.
Definitely over hyped but not over priced this is exactly what your paying for. it’s a little too feminine for my liking it’s pretty just mango so I don’t see myself wearing this to school or really anywhere endless im on a beach or something.
Never listening to TikTok creators again they said it was easy to wear and fresh. when I got it it was way too sweet smelled like bubble gum and was not fresh gave me a headach. do not blind buy!!
My wife said she won’t leave me anymore once I got this but I’ve seen “Her Friend” Tyrone a lot more after that.
a very pleasant fragrance that can be worn anywhere, very non-offensive. I really love this. It is light yet detectable, very fresh scent. PDM is my favorite house, I am yet to be disappointed by any of their parfums
Good for a special summer place. not too sweet, easier to wear.
A fresh inoffensive aquatic. Gentle hints of spice and floral work with aromatic green and citrus.
Just picked up a full bottle after toying for a while. Not any dearer than your average designer scent and good for grab and go.
Longevity is not bad for an aquatic
is sweet seductive and addictive, but the only issue about it Is the long Jeopardy. Five or six hours with this fragrance
This grew on me, well blended, high quality scent. The magic is in the dry down!
Well this was a surprise, I’ve gone off fragrances with rose and decluttered all my rose scents but this one is lovely. A fresh rose with some citrus and florals. It’s airy, bright and sparkly. Not an old fashioned rose scent at all. Fresh, uplifting and flirty.
For me this reads as a nice balance of green (oak moss is a favorite), light florals and aquatic. I tend to struggle with aquatics based on their longevity and it’s the same story here. Scent is interesting and pleasant, but after a few hours you’ve got nothing left. For this price point that is a hard sell.
Great winter colonge
😍
This is a mall vanilla, grown up. For how strictly sweet it is, there is enough complexity to make this feel more mature than many standard gourmands. Strongly evokes candied nuts for me which I think is its best quality. I don‘t want a full bottle of this, but I’m glad I tried it.
I get very green and a little powder. Good level of complexity, but doesn‘t rise to the level of great for me. I’d like more floral balance or more dedication to green spice.
This is my old ladies signature scent. She absolutely loves it gets so many compliments from her co workers. she gatekeeps it though and won't share so I'm here for you all.
This is a darker thick spicy cherry scent. spice like incents not hot peppers. the chocolate note gives it some warmth in the dry down. has a very powdery skin scent when you get in close makes me want to nibble a little to see if she'd taste as good as she smells.
she had one co worker tell her she can smell her 2 offices down the hall when she arrives, and another says it fills her office when she walks by. it's powerful is what I'm getting at
Jo Milano knocked it out of the park again with this one. It's that grapefruit ginger musk combo that has been tearing up the fragrance scene lately.
I love it opens with this sharp but not unpleasant grapefruit. The ginger gives it a bite that lingers through the drydown. This is an airy scent that has a great sillage.
i get a good 8 hours out of it i could still smell it on me after a 12 hour shift but it was a skin scent by then. Good for a man or a woman works best on hot summer days in my opinion
My favourite perfume. The best of the best. No other comes even close. I still have a tiny bit of it and I only use it few times a year. My heart breaks that it is discontinued
