Late to the party on this one. Some of my reviews are done way after my initial try of a fragrance but some classics do pass me by. This was one which I do remember from the 90's but hadn't seen for sale in years and figured it was discontinued, however recently I found it to revisit. It's a true classic this one. Tsar to me still has an authentic aromatic feel, a great fresh sappy/citrus opening, then moss, leather, lavender and a hint of smoke. As it settles the prominence of the opening sappy green aldehydes show themselves as wonderful resinous pine. Complex, beautiful, masculine and perhaps a little dated but this kind of scent is more palatable to me than VC&A Pour Homme for example. The drydown is a gently smoky, sandalwood/pine/leather I suppose? Lavender and pine give this perfume a laid back, soothing feel to what could be quite a strong manly affair. Well worth revisiting, nice strong silage for the first couple of hours then dying down nicely to a decent longevity performance. Nothing not to like here if you're a fan of the classics.
