Great cheap fragrance! Loud vetiver with a boozy background. These Cremo fragrances get better the more they age.
Zefiro is Naxos’ dark, quiet, mysterious, more mature brother. I’m very glad I bought it! It was a blind buy, which I don’t recommend doing. However, this time is a win. I always recommend sampling before you buy.
I will say that it is unisex, but leans a bit more masculine. I really want to smell it on my wife.
I get a gourmet cinnamon pastry, that is comforting. While eating it in a bakery near the Swiss Alps. I have all my loved ones with me, and don’t have a worry on my mind. You do get a creaminess from it, while yet a fizziness.
For me, fragrance is more than what smells good, it‘s about the emotional journey it takes you on. Or perhaps takes you to places you have never been, while giving you pleasant memories that have never happened.
Zefiro has done exactly that! Sergio nailed this one! @Xerjoff @Fragflex #1861
I wish I liked it more. I only get iris and fig. I don’t smell tea or woods. The Extrate is a bit better in longevity and silage. This really reminds me of Prada L’ Homme, which IMO smells better. The temperature outside is in the upper 80’s, maybe I should give it another try when the weather gets cold.
This is supposed to smell close to Absolute Aventus from Creed. I really don’t get that. What I do get is oak moss and pineapple right off the bat. It does last about 10 hours, and is quite strong. Very nice presentation and sprayer. However, it does smell on the cheap side, and it is cheap. I would recommend this to someone who isn’t as familiar with fragrance. It’s a decent scent, just not anywhere near Aventus.
This is my second Micheal Malul fragrance. I also have Blue Ridge/South Slope. I think I like this one a lot better. Some could say it’s mid, but I don’t think so. It is a fougere fragrance. It’s very clean smelling. I think of a a crisp ironed white dress shirt when I smell this. I really don’t think anyone would not like it. To me, this has more personality to it than Bleu D’ Chanel. I got it for $29 at TJ Maxx, and I’m considering going back and buying the other on. I will say that the bottle and lid look extremely cheap, but the liquid is solid! I would even consider buying it, if it was $91 like I seen in other shops.
This fragrance has been rebranded South Slope. I picked this up for $29 at Marshal’s. That’s a decent price for this fragrance, but I can’t imagine spending more than that. The performance is about like a Bath & Body fragrance. It may get better with age. I don’t get the similarities to Y EDP. It’s your basic barber shop smell. Pretty heavy on lavender. Longevity is maybe 3 hours, with a very close projection. Would call it a skin scent. I may edit this more as I wear this fragrance. I do want to give it a fair review.
This is arguably the best cherry fragrance out there! It’s beautiful. I would say all aspects of this fragrance is perfectly balanced. The smokiness gives it just enough masculinity, but the amber gives it that feminine touch to balance it out. And when it comes to the cherry aspect, I can’t explain it. Rouge Smoking Extrate from BDK is about 85% simulator and I like it, well enough that I bought a bottle, but Houbigant Paris Ambre Rubis blows it out of the water, by the smell, and performance. On Rouge Smoking Extrate , the cherry aspect fades away, but it stays with Ambre Rubis. This one is on my wish list, and I will be getting it!
This stuff is so good! It’s one of those scents that you forget you are wearing, then you catch a glorious sniff. This is what this line needed. I still think $275 for a 3 ounce bottle is crazy for a designer. However, this isn’t your typical blue fragrance. I still love the Sauvage line from Dior, but I feel like Bleu D‘ Chanel Exclusive is more of a formal fragrance. This is perfect for evening wear. It’s The amount of smoke and resin is well balanced.blue but dark.
This is so good! Could be unisex but leans slightly male. I would say the best of the line. That cherry is so perfectly balance! Longevity is easily 10 hours. A bit less sweet than Intensely. You could ware this all seasons except summer.
It seems very ozonic, with slight lavender and violet. Slightly woody, but would say ozonic and mineralic for sure. Best way to describe it is a breezy spring day right before a tornado.
