#etro #mahogany is an absolute revelation!!! It smells of something I can’t place, it’s familiar but not like anything remotely in fashion these days. Very vintage, like uncool 80’s perhaps early 90’s dawn of the aquatic, outlying flanker. Does it remind me a touch of Guy Laroche Horizon? That’s a pretty hideous ‘Manimal’ of a fragrance so I might be being a bit mean/inaccurate because this is very pleasurably musky, certainly later on and Horizon is an openly stinky, B.O and melon lolly, seaside mashup! The opening is a spicy, herbal thing, has a boozy, fresh transparency, it’s zingy with citrus but it’s one of those low lying scents which build overtime, their angularities gradually smoothed over. The name Mahogany suggests wood no? I’m not a moron for thinking that right? But although I’d loosely describe this as a woody musk, it’s not really all that woody, certainly not a positive wood note, except perhaps sandalwood adding to the creamy, pink hue of the musks in the drydown.
