I'd been looking to try this for a while and finally now I have. Boy treated me to the usual...'Chanelness' that kind of chic understatement and this perfume is definitely understated. It's a subtle, silky, milky, musky texture which to me smells quite simple with easily definable notes despite the overall 'blending' for want of a better word. Some reviews I'm aware of the notes beforehand and this informs what I say about a perfume and others like Boy...I've no idea...reassuring to see everything I got listed here. The fragrance has a lemony, citrus which is sharp but then 'poofs' into a powdery, clean almost soapy geranium, lavender then the smooth base of vanilla/sandalwood. It's classic meets new in that it's actually quite modern as if something from Juliette has a Gun or Geza Schoen and I like that sort of minimalism but with a respect for it's fougere heritage. It reminds me a little of Allure Homme or more accurately edition blanche the crucial difference being the geranium and lavender in this. I thought it was quite weak to begin with settling back to a very low lying skin scent, however it was actually more persistant than I first thought and I suspect other people would be able to smell it better than the wearer...one of those weird effects. I really liked it. Boy is a little pricey for me and there's better offerings in this line but I thought it was very nice.
