Jasper Conran Him, from Jasper Conran was released in 2003. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Provenzano. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Petitgrain, and Sage, middle notes of Jasmine, Mate, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Amber, Musk, Vetiver, and Woody Notes.
Wow! This is a hidden gem for all you vetiver lovers it really is and the key to this fragrance is balance. The opening is a stunning, bright green, blast of chlorophyll and grapefruit, very reminiscent of Annick Goutal's Ninfeo mio. Lush green notes that slowly give way to clean earthy vetiver that has a slight smoke to it. The citrus stays very prominent too and is helped along by the tiniest hint of white floral, neroli and petitgrain. This is a tried and tested formula sure but when executed perfectly cannot be argued with. I can see the comparison to Mugler Cologne, except with far less neroli and more of an emphasis on the vetiver. The drydown is long and natural and although this scent retreats quite quickly, it has massive lasting power and I was very impressed with the performance, despite a very sparring application. Clean, well executed Jasper Conran gets a thumbs up for me despite not really being my cup of tea, it serves a purpose and does it very well.
