Hey @freddiefingers I agree with your original point and repost to an extent. I have often fell victim to modern technology(ie iPhones iPads etc...) when surfing the web pressing things mistakenly due to touch screen swishing and swiping. I've noticed I've voted on sillage and longevity before without being aware and sometimes without having tried the fragrance which is what is frustrating to both of us given that this corrupts the results and the data becomes impure and subject to false positives/negatives. I suspect this might account for some of the 'early bird' responses. Just a thought. Anyway...I'm truly looking forward to trying this as a proud owner of Hommage L'Homme it seems really interesting from the notes listed here and the bottle looks stunning in that colour.
I've been waiting to try this fragrance since long before it was released and I can't believe it's taken me until now to finally get my nose on and subsequently purchase Lalique Hommage A L'Homme Voyageur. The main reason was that the release of this scent coincided with the withdrawal of Lalique from Selfridges in the UK meaning that Lalique could only be found in the remotest boutiques and even then many didn't carry the new fragrances like this one or Encre Noire Sport. I managed to find this in an ornament shop which sold Lalique glassware and several nice fragrances from Lalique and Bentley. The opening of this was just a yes for me straight out of the bottle, I found it to be a masculine poem of notes which invoked a list of fragrance comparisons in my mind but nothing, the same or copied as you'd expect from Lalique. The citrus brightness of the opening then woods of vetiver and cypress with oakmoss it actually evoked Vintage Halston Z14 or TF Italian Cypress. That was my impression on the first wear but with each subsequent wear this fragrance changes and the main event now is the unforgettable and smooth signature of patchouli adding the earthy smokey effect of birch wood at times. Another comparison would be to Guerlain Heritage or even Lubin Idole. This fragrance coupled with the smokey smell of cigar smoke on my coat actually conjured up Creed Aventus for a brief moment. Very interesting and subtle stuff from Lalique the drydown is a pleasant combination of amber and patchouli which is chunky but smooth and the citrus top notes actually last a long time before retreating. Personally, I think this fragrance is another success story from Lalique and very nearly something I love unconditionally. The only reason I don't and have slightly less enthusiasm for it than I did at first sniff is because wearing HL'HV a few times my 'love' has mellowed & dwindled to just a 'like'. Lasting power is okay and silage too, Lalique have added a really decent fragrance to an already strong lineup.
