10 Corso Como is all dry, lofty sandalwood, smoky desert resins, and earthy, weirdly off-kilter - almost alien or at least otherworldy- florals. It calls to mind a mysterious, aromatic wooden chest, unearthed by a strange sandstorm. At once both sensual and spiritual, and without a doubt a very, very handsome scent, I find myself frequently craving it and nothing else will do.
This is the unsettlingly mysterious woman in the film noir who is instantly pegged as the murderer because she’s beautiful and slightly “off”. You later find out she is hiding a terrible secret that has nothing to do with the murder, maybe her twin sister drowned in Monte Carlo and she has stolen her identity in order to escape a lecherous suitor or something like that. It smells of some sort of enigmatic green flower whose essence has been preserved to deepen and darken before it is crushed with a handful of strange, sweet herbs and left in an antique potpourri dish in a dusty lady’s boudoir. A beautifully strange and enigmatic scent, for lipsticked and rouged facades masking dark, dramatic pasts.
Strong, fiery ginger steeped in sticky, honeyed amber, wound with wisps of smoky lapsong souchang. Yet for all this deep, dusky luxuriance, it is surprisingly sheer...as if a silken scarf had been dipped in this concoction, and hung in a sunlit window to dry. The scent clings to the fabric and is lightly released as one knots and folds it about ones throat.
On first application, Les Nuits d'Hadrien smelled a bit like musty celery, but after sniffing my wrist repeatedly over the course of the next hour or so, the weird thing is...I liked it. (The boyfriend thought it smelled like soy sauce). It didn't change much over the course of the evening, except that maybe it became softer and ever so slightly sweeter. For me, it seems very much like a skin scent, and maybe something for those unexpectedly grey, rainy summer days.
Sitting by an open window on a rainy morning, curtains fluttering in the damp breeze, a single rose in a vase before you. Its crimson blooms, a vivid velvet contrast to the early glooms, offer their dawn song to the ghostly morning light. Beneath it, a misty musk mingles with barely-there spices, like steam rising from wet earth. The fragrance undulates like those curtains – whispering past, then drawn back, never still, never quite solid.
Beautifully smooth, cozy, incense amber for a cold day like today in the Northeast. A little loud and a little too sweet late in its development but I love it nonetheless. The performance is really strong if that’s your thing. On previous wears, I’ve sometimes wished it would chill out a bit in the late dry down.
Uomo intense is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite fragrances. The leather comes out on my skin with nice powdery notes. I get the mandarin orange when I sit there and study it, but I mostly get iris/leather the way through. Very lipsticky.
They all try to be like Aventus so what's that tell ya
I know many people love it but it is not for me for me it just smells like dirt
Absolutely gorgeous scent!
I heard, that this scent reminds Creed Aventus. I catch that smell only after spraying. But then it turns to earthy, woody dark smell
My sons signature scent. His girlfriend and her mom both loved it now he won't wear anything else.
Very nice sweet scent
A seemingly standard clean citrus scent with a twist. I don’t know exactly what I’m smelling that separates it from any other clean designer scent, but the opening of the fragrance is unique among everything I’ve smelled. It dries down into a pleasant citrus with some light woods. Preforms very well for me, 12+ hours longevity. Projection is nothing to complain about, pretty standard. I would say this scent leans towards a younger audience overall. Overall a very nice clean unoffensive everyday office or school scent worthy to be a signature for someone.
Nice, fresh and overall good fragrance
I fuck!ng LOVE it. The opening is very nice and drydown is AMAZING. It also lasts 10h+ Ive never seen someone wearing it so its Sage to say that younwill smell AMAZING.
IMO It honestly smells like sh!t
Opens up with a blast of pineapple and lemon and mellows out a tad to a smooth pineapple/fresh aquatic smell. Smells like what i imagine creed aventus (before the reformulation) and BR540 mixed together. The citrus notes can be a touch synthetic smelling but I love it! 1 spray on my hand lasted all day so be careful with over spraying.
it is a very spicy fragrance that that i feel some people would love but personally i dont like it
Really good smell also cheap so i will recommend to every one to try it
This is an epic fragrance. It’s very affordable, long lasting and smells delectable.
The apple and spices make this great in colder weather. The sweetness is balanced by the oud/leather notes and it’s a sophisticated attention grabbing scent without being over powering.
at the price point blind buy it and just give it a whirl.
just amazing
Jorum Studio's Gorseland is a convergence of many paths of light blazing through the borderlands between cultivated and wild, where neon-bright blooms stun with their electric intensity. While I spend my days mostly indoors, I've traveled countless wild paths through spellbinding nature writer Robert MacFarlane's writing, where his luminous prose captures the poetry of wild places, showing how ancient ways and old growth persist alongside us, part of our daily world rather than separate from it. This scent unfolds like one of these vicarious journeys: sharp-edged and biting in the high places, then deepening to a piercing sourness in the shadows of valley-bottom herbs. The shock of fluorescent petals never quite settles as you climb higher, maintaining their strange luminosity even as shoots twist upward with their raw, cutting brightness. Eventually, softer notes emerge - the apple-sweet fluff of chamomile and grassy vanilla whispers of woodruff - like finding an unexpected meadow after a steep climb. In this scent, the air crackles with the voltage of growing things, refusing our attempts at categorization - too bright, too fierce, too alive to be contained.
This is my favorite from the LV line but it‘s overpriced for what it is and how it performs. Get around 4-5 hours before it becomes a skin scent.
Dune from Christian Dior is a misty, windswept shore of lonely paths lined with bracken, gorse, and heather leading to treacherous cliffs, where there lurches a corrupt and crumbling old inn. The sort of lodgings preferred by smugglers and murderers-- a place where dead men tell no tales. Perfume critic Luca Turin believes that true menacing darkness is found in this fragrance and that it's a strong contender for the “bleakest beauty in all perfumery.” My creepy goblin heart is dreadfully influenced by this sort of hyperbole and after reading that over a decade ago… I had purchased a bottle within milliseconds.
Great value for money. Doesn't smell cheap at all
An amazing and unique fragrance
