If ever there was a Nᵒ 5 for men, I imagine it would smell something along the lines of this. I recently got a vintage bottle, all I know is it’s pre-1976, and I fell in love immediately. This is a darker, dirtier take on this classic fragrance with an alluring and sexual character. The Eau de Cologne is still all about the classic powdery aldehydes and floral medley of ylang, orris and rose - however this is noticeably more animalic. A much heavier dose of civet and musk give this scent a more masculine and animalic edge. It’s got some filth and some skank but in an incredibly addictive way. I also feel the patchouli and amber base is more prominent in here, creating an incredible alternative to Nᵒ 5 which is more suited to the colder weather. I really have no idea why this was called an Eau de Cologne when not only is this scent animalic and very strong, but the perfume concentration is 25%. Nevertheless, I love this stuff and I would recommend anyone to seek it out.
