I see a lot of comparisons to White Citrus (specifically the non-Men's version which is different), but I think that is quite a bit zestier and drier than this. The "salty" note comes off a bit ozonic which I don't love. This has moments of being something a bit more special than straight citrus, but it keeps going back to being lemon Pledge-adjacent (though not overwhelmingly so). For that alone, it's a pass from me.
Rumored to be Werner Herzog’s signature scent, I wore this to the funeral of my ex-stepgrandma and everyone was clambering to bury their faces in my collar. I soaked up their tears and their compliments like a sponge. What an absolutely stunning and transcendent fragrance.
worth buying for someone who likes woody base
A masterpiece
It envelops me with a hint of nostalgia, slightly sweet, classic with one foot in the seventies, the other completely contemporary.
Such a masterpiece scent. Would love if it lasted longer but one of the best scents I own. Will always have a bottle of this
I don’t have any tattoos so I’m ill-equipped to assess whether this smells like a tattoo parlour (which is the idea), but it definitely smells like a salon: it has a rubbery, industrial vetiver-ink note that evokes black pleather salon chairs, and a slightly ozonic quality that makes me think of hair dryers. It’s also smoky, as if from cigarettes outside the shop door. I wouldn’t have identified the jasmine note (I wouldn’t call anything in here “floral”) but I think it might be manifesting as the fragrance of hair or skin treatments. There are also woody and musky facets going on that smooth and mellow it into a velvety texture that keeps the industrial touches from feeling harsh. Overall a very interesting and well-executed perfume, cool and a little edgy but not actually “weird,” nicely balanced. It’s not quite what I want from an “inky” fragrance, though, personally. I’d want it to reference books rather than tattoos, so, something more papery and natural, maybe with a more antique leather, incense, or some green touches. (Like Perfumer H’s Ink, in other words).
Not the most "special" tobacco fragrance per se, but my god is it smooth. Volutes Eau de Parfum is one of those fragrances that I feel really shines in the air. On close inspection, the iris kind of overpowers all the other notes, which makes me feel very anosmic. But the sillage - oh my god. It is a nuanced spicy tobacco, not overly sweet or cloying, the perfect amount of dryness and a touch of spice (I would like to say ginger?) with a honey touch that feels magical in the autumn breeze or warmer winter days. Not as magical as Volutes EDT but an great piece from Diptyque nonetheless.
Synthetic opening but if you get past that it's beautiful I get so many compliments and it's great dupe I would suggest the edp it's alot smoother and last longer overall 9/10
this is the best scent i’ve ever smelt in my life. It’s a very very green, fougére that minds me of a musky, woody, piece of green clover☘️ and its phenomenal.
Clasy clean fragance, smell great and lots of compliments. Definitely an upgrade of Prada L'homme
Good casual fragance for winter and cold days.
Overall Smell: 4/5 - To me this smells like a few other Le Labo prodcuts. I bought both this and Bergamote together and they're similar scents, but I prefer Bergamote.
Longevity: 3/5 - 4 hours tops
Price: not worth it
Overall Smell: 4/5 - It's a very nice, floraly and citrusy smell that's quite refreshing and good for everyday use. I've received a few compliments on it, but my experience with this and other Le Labo scents is that they don't last long (4 hours).
Not worth the price, but if you do like it I would buy the smaller bottle.
Overall: 3/5 - It's a solid fragrance, but it's performance isn't the best. Only time anyone's ever noticed it is when I sprayed it about 8 times on the pulse points. Smells nice and clean but wouldn't buy it again.
Overall Scent: 5/5 - It's not for everyone, but I do love this smell. It's subtle but very refreshing and a decent compliment getter. Longevity is a downside compared to other Creed's, so I don't think it's worth the cost.
Overall Scent 5/5: Love the fresh, citrus smell. It's clean, it's iconic. Downside is every dude and their brother wears it, you won't stand out. This was the first expensive fragrance I've ever purchased and still get tons of compliments.
Overall Smell Rating: 5/5 - I love this citrusy, sweet, youthful scent. It's addicting to me personally and my girlfriend loves it. The youthful/sweetness isn't for everyone though.
Price/Value 3/5: A bit overpriced
Sillage 5/5: strong trail
Longevity 4/5: I get about 5-6 hours
It's a very citrusy, fresh, clean, soapy smell that is very nice & refreshing. It's longevity and price are the downsides. Feel like it only lasts 4 hours tops and the price is hard to justify. I love the clean, citrus smell to it and could rock it for every day use if I didn't feel like I had to reapply it half way through the day. I would recommend just getting a dupe (Game of Spade Full House is like a 95% match).
Like this scent but don’t love it. Longevity is solid on me (6 or so hours), but not worth the hype or the price. I think there are better spicy fragrances for the price/value. Overall a 3.5/5 for me.
10/10 scent. My first oud and it was not a let down. The Price/Value is the only downside of this fragrance for me, it’s expensive. However, it lasts 6-8 hours for me, smells incredible & sophisticated. Would recommend to anyone willing to pay for the price!
I absolutely love this scent. May not be year round for everyone but I absolutely would wear this year round. big compliment getter, overall a 4.75/5. Just a bit on the higher end for price
This scent is amazing, the initial top notes smell very clean, peppery, cinnamony and the base notes are delectable. Overall a 4.5/5 for me, only wish it lasted longer (still a solid 6 or so hours for me).
Vetiver by Guerlain reinterpreted by Xerjoff or Parfums de Marly or something. The edge is completely gone, and all of the rooty, earthiness has been replaced by a sickly, cloyingly sweet base,...so very sweet and pretty annoying. I'd like to say it's superfluous but it's actually probably a pretty smart move by Guerlain, to make an old classic marketable to the hordes who love crap like Initio and PDM. They really need to sort out their bottles if they want to reach this market though, it screams budget.
