This is my favorite scent out of the YSL line, hands down. A powerful fragrance that exudes masculinity, but doesn't take it too far. The longevity of this fragrance was about 5-6 hours on my skin. So, having a decanter to reapply might be needed. If there is another cologne out there that has a similar profile to this, I haven't tried it yet. This is the perfect addition to any collection.
A classic spicy lavender but really well done !
Very very sexy for a man. I'd say it's a perfect scent for a date.
Good value for the price.
It smells great very strong tobacco smelling scent. Well blended. The problem is it has zero projection and the longevity is okay.
So glad I didn’t get a full bottle of this. Sex in a bottle? What have folk been smoking? This smells like any ordinary high street fragrance. It’s exactly the same as any Hugo Boss or Diesel fragrance and it lasts about ten minutes.
To my surprise this is yet another fragrance I thought I'd reviewed or at least posted my review for ages ago...but obviously not. I won't go on too much as pretty much everything that needs to be said regarding this fragrance has been. I get an overwhelming air of sexiness and an alluring quality which I think was exactly it's intention...the perfect mixture of cardamom, bergamot and a hint of lavender. The drydown is superb slightly powdery and a very clean cedar/vetiver. The citrus and fruity berry vibe comes more to the forefront than the spice which is probably what makes this fragrance so socially excepted and commercially successful. I for one can take a bit more cardamom (the likes of Hypnose) but obviously YSL wanted to strike up a balance that would appeal to many. It's funny how many of my friends who are not into fragrance (that's all of them!) own this fragrance. One of my very good friends told me he wears it almost exclusively now after years of searching for his signature. I should point out that he is a bit of a ladies man and I was informed on good authority that this fragrance was a lady killer and drives them wild apparently? I don't know about all that but I don't see why the average non collector or scent enthusiast couldn't wear this everyday in every situation, just smell incredibly good and be content. I need more variation in my life but I enjoy owning and wearing this on occasion it's an excellent fragrance.
Great Cardamom spicy fragrance with a creamy woody background, smells incredible. clos projection and moderate longevity, butd
