Was an impulse buy when I was searching for another one from the brand. I love the opening and middle notes from the unknown fruit, so good. Unfortunately it only lasts an hour and dries into an unremarkable powdery lavender scent. I love the opening enough to reach for it and usually reapply or layer it.
With a name as absolute as ‘The Scent’, you would expect something groundbreaking - as though this is THE only scent a man could need. You would be dead wrong, this is The Scent every man should avoid, unless you want to smell like the most boring person on the planet. It’s a sort of fresh, citrusy lavender thing with sharp, scratchy bursts of ginger and horrible synthetic-smelling woods. There’s some sense of coherence, but very little; it’s just shy of a total disaster. It’s the same generic fresh scent profile we’ve been smelling for years now on the designer market. When will these brands stop repackaging the same scent into new bottles? Probably never as they wouldn’t be doing it if it didn’t sell, clearly something about this horrid DNA works for a lot of people. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Well, I'd seen a couple of YouTube reviews before I got my nose on this and I have to say I didn't have high hopes. The general concensus was that "...it's okay." and I have to say I think the same. It starts out with a fruity, fresh accord which I can't really attribute to the fruit (which I've never heard of before) but nevertheless is very pleasant. There is warmer tones and perhaps some ginger? But the scent inevitably turns into a generic smel that is vaguely reminiscent but hard to place. If usually jump on the bandwagon of haters and say ..."why can't the designer game come up with something original for a change?" Or words to that effect. Well...do you know what? As long it's not awful I'm going to can that kind of rhetoric. Boss have made a scent which maybe uninteresting but is it bad? No...it dries down to a vaguely boring lavender, and spiced rum accord mixed with a clean artificial musk/Ambery vibe, which in essence is a crowd pleasing, chemical blob, neither one thing or another but as such appeals to most (well not most Fragranticians it would seem?) is pretty warm and nice and actually lasts about 4 hours, projecting mildly. I've no hate for this one only luke warm "meh"
What a fumble! Interesting DNA. This one is unique but feels incomplete. Non existent performance.
