Numero Uno can't help but have high expectations with a name like that. It's a classic take on the chypre type perfume I'd have sworn there's oakmoss in here as it has that trditional feel. In essence it's a woody warm, slightly floral, herbal, musk fragrance. Opens with bergamot and clean vetiver then the sharp labdanum, and myhrr start to come through. Then as it dries down settles to a more herbal type fragrance with patchouli, all these elements excellently balanced and don't take long to transition & quickly settle into a singular entity. I get a kind of animal smell, it's a natural one of pheromones, like skin or more specifically...scalp. Bare with me on this one. Some fragrances evoke this quality of when I kiss my girlfriend on the top of her head and I get a slightly herbal, soapy, shampoo, hair and warm scalp smell. Sounds a bit pervy I know...I don't have a scalp fetish honestly. So a good fragrance then...good but not great. It certainly communicates what it needs to with clarity and has good longevity and projection on my skin.
