Cravache 2007, from Robert Piguet was released in 2007. The perfumer behind this creation is Aurélien Guichard. It has the top notes of Lemon, Mandarin Orange, and Petitgrain, middle notes of Clary Sage, Lavender, and Nutmeg, and base notes of Oakmoss, Patchouli, and Vetiver.
Wow! perfect juice this one. Exactly in the style of a classic french cologne from years gone by, Cravache delivers for me. The only issue I have with this sort of fragrance is the price niche houses charge. For example I love Dior Cologne Royale but I couldn't justify the high price. That doesn't apply to this one fortunately as it's a EDT and as such reasonably affordable for sheer quality. Opens with juicy lemon and madarin orange then becomes herby but not overly mossy like Chanel pour monsieur to which it is similar. The clary sage, nutmeg and of course lavender are more prominent without over powering, Cravache is very well put together and blended. Vetiver and herbs in the drydown on my skin but not very good longevity I have to say, I was a bit stingey with the application so next time I'll use more. There's a definite hint of minty menthol in this fragrance just after applied as @LookOut mentioned...and I was surprised not to see it in the notes on my sample card or on here. All in all a great fragrance it's calming and cerebral and a good day to day scent.
