Richer than the EDP with a wondeful ginger element. I also get a tobacco vibe as someone else mentioned. Together this makes for a sexy, smokey scent. On the opening, it's seems similar to the wonderful Homme Idéal Intense from Guerlain, but this one has stronger sillage, legs and complexity, which is only right given the huge price. Given the criminally bad performance of the EDP, the Parfum slightly redeems the line. I say slightly because it's way overpriced. Now I have smelt this, I find the EDP insipid and quite horrible.
This leaves me completely cold in the winter but is incredible on a hot, humid day. Who would have thought 🤷
Nope nope nope. This is not the one. Smells like an ashtray with some noir extreme edp sprinkled on top. Harsh, spicy, leathery, animalic, smokey, filthy, dirty with a TINY bit of sweetness. No way is anyone gonna say that this is better than the edp😡
