Futur, from Robert Piguet was released in 2009. The perfumer behind this creation is Aurélien Guichard. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Green Notes, and Neroli, middle notes of Jasmine, Violet, Violet Leaf, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Vetiver.
If I had glanced at the notes prior to testing Futur I might've thought I'd like it...boy would I have been wrong! Women can keep this one! It's like something from a bygone era and definitely not for this man. No violets, sweet jasmine or ylang ylang it's too harsh in opening to get past and had to be scrubbed. I thought I liked green scents? but this is going too far I don't get anything pleasant, sweet or fresh from it. I'll be honest breaking down the notes would be difficult as I was pretty repulsed by it. If you read my reviews generally I'm pretty upbeat even when not keen on a fragrance so I don't use the word 'repulsed' lightly. Having said that I have a habit of revisiting and changing my mind so I won't reserve judgement just yet. Still Like this house though, good quality and variety.
