This is an amazing smelling fragrance absolutely top marks to Aramis for making something fresh and accessible, without the usual generic trates. It opens fresh, and even a little green but instantly sweet and uplifting with that combination of resins, elemi, mastique...etc...combined with juniper making for a really sparkling opener. The fragrance is warm boozy and with some sweetness too but it's not easy to discern notes, apart from the apparent balsamic, incense vibe. Aramis black is never a cliche though and I can honestly say these notes are a breath of fresh air making for a unique opening. I'm afraid the bad news is the performance...absolutely pathetic and I coated myself in the stuff!!! I could still smell it faintly but very disappointing considering how good this stuff smells. I've put myself down as wanting a bottle but I'd only get it out of the bargain bin. This is not an exaggeration on my part I'm usually forgiving even to the weakest of scents but this one does die down very quick...it might just be my skin...who knows? Don't get me wrong the opening is fantastic though so I'd recommend you at least check it out for yourself.
I've been familiar with this one for years, my dad never owned it or anything (at least I don't think he did?) but I distinctly remember sampling it on a market stall when I was about 12 and not really liking it. Well I think my tastes have changed because I don't think Pino has a great deal. To say it smells of pine doesn't really do it justice as a composition. It has that fresh juniper and pine in the opening which also has green notes of basil and mint. The main thing I get though is a tough, spiced, anise note which has to be coming from carnation. The drydown is a pine/cedar/mossy affair. I like Pino Silvestre a lot because it is unashamedly a gents fragrance and it's quite sour...maybe that's not the right word? It's pleasant ...but just a bit 'off' You can't argue it's poor on any front... price, performance, or development of notes. I have a bottle now and I'm more than happy to wear it.
Bagatelle is a luminous woody floral. Radiant because of the neroli and citrus oils that Guerlain does so well, woody curtesy of cedar and vetiver, and floral, well floral because. The opening is one of the most glorious citrus openings I've ever encountered in a fragrance. Mostly because of the neroli that seems to cut the sweetness that is typical in such a heavy floral composition. There's a nanosecond of Fracas, a nanosecond of Herrera classic and then they both leave so that Bagatelle can show its true colors. A tuberose rich heart, with gardenia noticeable too, orange blossom and magnolia, which lends its unmistakeable sweetness, in the same way it sweetens up Mito by Vero Kern. As hard as it is to believe, the heart feels anything but cloying. It doesn't have the buttery feel of Fracas, nor the come hither excess of Poison, but instead it showcases the white florals in a sort of cologne way. When launched, Bagatelle was conceived as a bright and sparkling edt, so even though it's diffusive and long lasting, the aldehydes along with the citrus showcase the more innocent side of this garden. It's powerful alright, but with a joie de vivre. The woody drydown is lovely, as my skin tends to showcase the vetiver, along with a delicate but not clean musk. Many guys who love big white florals, but are kind of hesitant to use something like the aforementioned ones, have a good chance of liking Bagatelle as is decidedly woodier without losing the narcotic effect that tuberose and the like have. In a way, it doesn't feel Guerlain-ish. There's a big departure from the earlier scents of the house, but when you smell the entire evolution of the fragrance, you notice that even though the heavy nature of an 80's white floral has not been reduced, as that would be both impossible and sinful, the airyness of the whole composition screams elegance. It feels like the lemon meringue airyness that would later appear in Shalimar Legere. Take the 80's and infuse some table manners, and you get Jardins de Bagatelle. Guerlain can't do cheap and trashy even if they wanted to. Instead, they bring their answer to the fashionable powerhouses of the decade, in this 1983 creation that somehow remained hidden among the Samsaras, the Shalimars and the Mitsoukos, passing mostly unnoticed as my 2007 bottle, bought in the busiest department store of Madrid in 2015, shows. It has its fans, but I don't think there are too many. I just hope it doesn't get axed in favor of more gourmands. The new packaging is a good decision, if it means it's staying, but I'm not sure how that one smells. Don't give up the chance to give it a try next time you see it. It's an under the radar Guerlain that has a lot to offer.
The main thing letting this one down is performance...it's average...which is okay but disappointing because it develops nicely for the first couple of hours, leading you into a false sense of security and believe that it might be quite long lived. Then...bam! It's gone. Such a shame because this is one of the better 'sport' fragrances I've tried in recent years. Fresh sharp opening of citrus and aquatic tones, offset with the subtlety herbaceous basil and lavender, then a ton of pepper hits and as the woody base of cedar and musk start to dry down, this is actually quite a well conceived, masculine fragrance and not a million miles from it's predecessor. Just to mention that this flanker comes out a mere 28 years after the original surely it hasn't been in the making all that time???? Well as nice as it is it ain't worth the wait even for Loewe fans. I liked it, had it of lasted I would of added it to my collection to prove a point that sport fragrances can be simple and refined and above all masculine. But it doesn't so I won't.
I was quite looking forward to this, unfortunately Cedro just fell short for me. The opening does have a pronounced woody musk but as soon as that's gone, and we are talking a matter of minutes here, it dries down to a very similar accord of the solo line. It's that resinous balmy smell which is quite artificial and reminds me of bandages, quite an odd medicinal smell with hints of fresh lavender on the top. Sounds awful from the description but I actually like it a lot, and own Solo Platinum which is just 'that' throughout without trying to be woody or anything that it's not. I guess over all this is slightly lighter and fresher than Platinum but too much like the original to be that noteworthy. I just deem it a pointless flanker, shame really because the wood grain on the bottle cap looks great. Longevity is similar to platinum pretty good and clings well to clothes (not like that's saying much.)
Lush is a bombastic realistic jasmine in the major sense of the word. And even though there are many comparisons, mostly to Jasmin Rouge and A la Nuit, they eat Lust's dust. Lust is basically a jasmine soliflore on steroids. There's a lot of bubblegum sweetness and A LOT of indolic funk. Rose tries to enter the party, but is quickly pushed to the back, where the sandalwood is getting ready to make an entrance. And btw, the sandalwood smells amazingly creamy, even though it is not Mysore. But veeery close. Jasmine, sandalwood... First thing that came to my mind before trying, and just by reading the notes, was Samsara. Not by a long shot; they share nothing but a common feature. Armed with powerful sillage, projection and longevity, Lust would fit right in with the most notorious bad boys from the 80's. Whether you'll like it or not, it depends on how you feel about jasmine. Lust can easily turn you into a convert, even if jasmine is not your thing. It can also make you hate it more than you think you do. Just 1 spray and you're set. Red liquid stains clothes, so apply with caution if you're wearing white or light colored clothing. And mysteriously, it works wonders under a suit and tie! Massive sillage and longevity.
Sikkim girls is a very intriguing perfume. Under the tropical frangipani and tuberose, there's a very nice smokiness. That particular smoky effect also feels lightly incense like. I'm not sure where it comes from, but I'm guessing the vanilla used has its rough aspects enhanced rather than blurred. After Lust, I was expecting a bomb, but Sikkim is less in your face. Strange, considering it is tuberose rich! What I mostly get is the frangipani, which combines aspects of gardenia and jasmine, and a banana like sweetness that could be related to ylang ylang or the frangipani star of the show. Up until the third hour there is hardly any change; it's all white creamy dreams. But tuberose is invited to the party, so she has to make her presence known. Mostly in the form of a cool camphor breeze that cuts through the sweetness as she briefly exits the scene. And this is Sikkim on my skin. White flowers, small intervals of tuberose camphor, and smoky tendrils in the background. Utterly beautiful. Quietly meditative. Long lasting with average sillage.
Absolute class. A tone poem of masculine aromatic notes blended to smell like a man should. To me similarities to Azzurro pour homme or Paco Rabanne or countless others of the period are obvious but with one striking difference, Roger & Gallet is just better behaved on my skin. I think the blend is just right so as not to be 'too' anything. It's the usual blend of clean, soapy, spicy and recent formulations although lacking in oakmoss and sheer power, L'Homme is still reserved enough to last okay and give the wearer a nice clean, blokey feel without choking anybody out. I like it a great deal.
This is a typical aquatic for me, opening with lovely refreshing notes of mandarin and sea breeze, the cleanness of cardamom and vetiver and the hint of spice and woods from cedar and pepper. This is a good fragrance which settles very nicely...it's not great...but it's not to be dismissed off hand either. The performance is average but I will forgive it. It's as worth a look as any other fresh scent in the designer game. Shop around and you might find yourself a bargain.
oooh this is absolute magic! If ever a scent appealed to me it's this one. Sweet, sticky, warm, balmy base which is never cloying even for a second. Then that delicate fruity accord of cola, yes it's very similar to Dunhill Custom, I only wish I had discovered this sooner. It's far more refined than the Dunhill and releases more subtle complex notes. I'd also say it's woodier and all in all better smelling and the best thing about it....Baldesarinni Ambre lasts quite well. This is a great hidden gem of a scent and cheap enough to not feel guilty about buying. I'm getting it.
This one crept up on me, as I had no idea Colonia Club was out. Tried it the other day and I have to say I'm extremely impressed by the smell of this stuff. AdP will never be one of my favorite brands but they do make solid, classy fragrances which open very well and I enjoy hugely. They seem to be afforded leeway that I wouldn't give to other houses for making mediocrity a trademark. Anyway...Colonia Club has a wonderfully fresh opening of citruses as you'd expect but with a hint of herbaceous green qualities, lavender, mint and a touch of white florals. There's a lightweight musk, and in the heart a geranium note under long lasting citrus, all of which conspires to create that classic aromatic fougere type fragrance, making this hard not to like. The vetiver really comes out in the dry down and that's about it. Club delivers what I expect from Aqua di Parma topping it off with average performance I'd say all in all another good product from the house. I think I prefer this to the black one...colonia essenza?? is it??? Fan's of AdP will definitely like this one it's very hard not to and I really like the green bottle.
When I first tried Loretta more than a year ago, I felt a bit disappointed. I was expecting a ripe fruit drenched tuberose. Leather. The bad stuff IFRA wants out of our diet. Sorry, perfume. Instead I got a kind of musty gasoline accord, something that I wasn't expecting at all, and that I would later find amplified in Sotto la Luna Gardenia. I couldn't for the life of me imagine the star of the movie by Brian Pera wearing it. It wasn't right. Many wearings later I kind of found the appeal in Gardenia, and while I no longer feel like crawling out of my skin when I wear it, I long to be in Lorreta's skin. Tauer offerings tend to divide people; love or hate. And if you hate them at first, there's a little voice that whispers "try me" deep inside the bottle. Loretta has evolved. Or rather, I've evolved. Now, under the misty halo, there's everything I wanted from her. There's a ripe fruitiness I can't quit figure, but it feels extremely decadent. The kind of ripeness that is well past expiration. There's a tuberose that feels austere, but at the same time elegant. The matriarch tuberose. The gasoline accord feels more like an 'oily' accord. As if the perfume was drawn as an oil canvas, rich in color saturation. The leather and the Tauerade add a musky feel to the entire picture. I guess that I saw Loretta, the protagonist, as full of life. But that's not the case. Loretta lives in a dream world. And as is so often the case, imaginary is quite often more vivid. More languid. It might work or it might not. I'm happy that I kept paying attention to the little voice, because when I let Loretta take me inside her world, her imagination became mine. I dreamt her dreams. As much as it sounds austere and weird, it isn't. After all it's a tuberose fragrance. With animalic leather, and plum, and carnations. It's a powerhouse floral, in the dream dimension. I'm just happy to be there, whenever I feel like escaping my world. Out of the 3 offerings, I found my alter ego in Loretta; she's strong, powerful and long lasting. She feels with her heart, and if you're one of the lucky ones to enter her world, well it's a hell of a ride. But be prepared for it; she ain't easy, and she ain't here to please you. She's just here to help you please yourself. A hedonistic tuberose ride!
To my nose this is Bond No.9 (The self titled signature fragrance) that slightly tepid sweetness, book-ended by fresh top notes and woody base notes. I have to say as someone who owns the Perfume version of the signature (basically the same as the original but stronger and with the addition of Oud) I can't say I entirely dislike the smell. However, there's one crucial difference here and it's not what I'd expected (the addition of Patchouli) but a distinctly horrifying smell. I have a whopping 4 vials of this (obviously not a popular sample) and I had thought that it may have been a reaction with the plastic wrapper. You know? Those bon bon sweetie wrappers that the samples come in. I had struggled to remove the vial from the wrapper and some of the dye stuff came off on my hands and had this horrible pissy smell. I thought to myself I hope that's not the perfume! Unfortunately It was. Yes New York patchouli actually smells like the back streets of New York City, Urine and all. Just as you take in the sugary sweetness and generic 'Bond accord' a split second later it is soured with a sharp, metallic musk and what can only be described as a pissy smell. I hate to be crude...but there it is. The only remarkable thing about New York Patchouli is that there's no trace of patchouli in it! No hippie herbaceous dirt, or thick, creamy chocolate. Maybe that could be the piss smell, a metallic sharpness when interacting with citrus and cedar...who knows? What is known is that something is really wrong with this fragrance. Maybe some people can't smell that? Or like it? Nobody else has mentioned it in comments...could it be the humble Lychee causing such offence? I really don't know but I could never wear this awful concoction. Like most stinkers, when you don't want them to have great performance...they inevitably do.
I love the validation of retrying a fragrance and then reading an old review and being like..."You nailed it back then dude!" ...to myself. Kinda sad I know, but it's true. What I feel I NEED to comment on is the unrelenting and frankly horrible drydown. I applied it yesterday evening, when out for a walk in humid conditions, went to bed, showered this morning and reapplied another fragrance. I've been walking around in the sunshine all day and it's still, really strong! I'm amazed I can smell it through my shirt, and I'm not exaggerating to be dramatic, really New York Patchouli is atomic! Crucially there's still NO bloody patchouli, just a mental, cat pissy accord. What's even stranger is that....I sort of like it!!! There's still a metallic note of that 'Bond accord' of sweet citrus.
This one is a real banger! Rarely do fragrances live up to their name, especially when they are called 'Intense' but if there's anyone you could be sure of making something Intense... It's Pierre Montale. I actually love how the tropical, sweet, white floral vibes of exotic Tiare flower and Jasmine assault the senses. This fragrance does have an edge of coconut but it's not cloying and doesn't smell like a tacky sun cream in small doses it's quite elegant. I think worn in moderation this is a very bright and uplifting scent which dries to a talcum, musk which reminds me of my mums rose talc she used to wear when I was a kid. So yeah there is a very subtle rose note in there. I don't often say this about a fragrance because I like to think I'm open minded in my fragrance choices but this to me is 100% feminine. If a guy wants to wear this, then more power to you but I just wouldn't. A lovely thing then and very, very potent indeed.
Dear oh dear, I wondered why I had tried all of this houses perfumes except for Kid Mohair, I must have read the comments on here. I'd obviously forgotten what they said when I ordered my sample but this is not a great fragrance. It did do one thing though...transport me back to a golden era in my early teens (when I actually had hair!) on occasion instead of gel or Brylcreem I would borrow my sisters hair Moose. The opening minute of Kid mohair (arguably as the alcohol is still evaporating) is exactly this smell, its a kind of bitter chemical musk shrouded in dense fruity aroma chemicals. It's a kind of primordial soup of choking, slightly nostril tingling juice. As it settles I get a white floral edge of peony, magnolia perhaps some rose, But still wrapped in that fruity shampoo smell which on skin almost smells a little of scalp too. Whenever I say that I'm conscious of how creepy it might sound but it reminds me of the sensation of kissing my girlfriend on the top of her head, so it's kinda sweet really. This dries down to a clean white musk and despite the barrage of abuse I've now contributed to, I can't hate kid mohair. After that first minute it doesn't smell bad as such, just like uninspiring perfume, lacking the sophistication and complexity that fragrance lovers want to smell. It doesn't work on me and could become slightly irritating after a while, I don't imagine ever wanting to smell like this, so it's a no from me.
Beautiful understated opening of citrus and juniper berries which fades quickly revealing a powdered violet leaf note. The notes and spicing is so delicate, coriander seed and vetiver amongst the careful blended concerto which makes up this masculine aromatic fragrance. The overbearing vibe I get from Jermyn street is not one of a citrus vetiver or even a floral aromatic, it's more like Knise Ten. That thing people refer to as leather and kinda is, that is what I get from this except instead of orange blossom like in Creed Royal English leather for example, it's replaced with a very toned down violet. Jermyn street is extremely light in the sense of an eau de Cologne type fragrance and the unfortunate sense that it doesn't last all that long. Still, like the well blended traditional offerings of Penhaligon's and Floris I just can't fault the majority of what they do.
Maai is perhaps the best modern take on a classic floral chypre. This thing is an absolute bomb! It explodes out of the bottle with tonnes of aldehydes and a sucker punch of musk...the two complementing but also kind of fighting each other...wow! I'm finding it hard to believe this wasn't created before the restrictions on raw materials, which will be welcomed with open arms by lovers of classical perfume. The opening is so interesting it's like a mixture between sweet n sour, the power of musk and the warmth of civet, possibly benzoin but with a sharpness too...maybe Labdanum...it's mental. I actually thought the opening 2 mins or so were leaning toward a masculine powder like carnation or a hint of rose, then BANG tuberose. The heart of this scent is a spectacular but crushing, musky tuberose, that renders Maai totally unwearable for me. Tuberose can be really stinky when I'm this kind of quantity but luckily enough some of the other notes stick around to keep it barable. Be warned the deep drydown is all animal stink. I have to say I'm impressed overall but this isn't my cup of tea in the slightest, apart from maybe elements of the opening. Sniff this out I'd recommend fragrance connoisseurs to try this. As you'd expect, projection is insane at first but then settling to very good, so is longevity.
Shams Oud is a real knockout and top marks for creative vision, I can't recall smelling a fragrance like this? Shams opens with the full on might of the rest of this line, definite oud quality with a balsamic warmth and pepper sharpness. This is an onslaught, a total envelopment of quality ingredients like saffron and oud taking on that strange, other worldly smell. The top notes remain and I get a definite spicy sweetness like clove/cinnamon/ginger throughout this fragrance which along with the deep resins and precious woods make Shams oud a very special brew indeed. I only tried this in store first on a card then on my skin, so I need to get a proper sample to wear. However I wrote the review because I was dying to comment on this wonderful stuff. Still far too much money to shell out for one of these and far too much juice in the bottle for me. For the record I do have full test size samples of Moon Leather (not in the database yet), African Leather and maybe a couple of others so I have the opportunity to see if they stack up. My opinion of Memo from what I have tried is pretty high though.
Wow! This fragrance has taken my understanding of vanilla fragrances and totally shaken them up. I expect a double vanilla, thick, dark coloured liquid like essence when I think of a good niche vanilla. Shunkoin has a much more delicate hand though, leading me into the composition very steadily. I mean this fragrance is sweet but very cleverly engineered not to be cloying or curdle with spices out of place in what is quite a sheer and milky context. There's a greenness to the opening which is not unlike that papyrus/sandalwood thing I don't like. This can only be the tea judging by the notes listed here and in combination with a very subtle powder note from iris or orris root. This becomes more apparent as the fragrance goes on. Another thing which surprises me is a lovely almond and coconut smell, a natural partner for vanilla but can go very wrong, the handling here is with care and quality, all hallmarks of Xerjoff. I really like this scent I have to say, if you like powdery understated vanilla then you've come to the right place. Also despite being a very subdued scent by nature it lasted very, very well on my skin to the point I was surprised even suspecting that it got stronger than when first applied.
I've always been a defender of By Kilian as a brand because when they hit...they hit! Unfortunately some of the recent releases have been sadly lacking, certainly in creativity and those prices are so high, made me start to wonder why I'd been such an apologist. I appreciate the packaging is fantastic but it's style over substance when the scent isn't even good or original and the cardinal sin...it doesn't last. Also...just to make things worse the SA and my local store which stocks By Kilian is dreadfully rude and looks at me like something he just scraped off the bottom of his shoe. Moving on... I'd heard good things about Apple brandy though and was excited to try it and thankfully... I wasn't disappointed. Apple brandy starts out with a lovely warming boozy apple smell, which I was hoping wouldn't be reminiscent of cider and thankfully it isn't. I can't recall ever drinking 'apple' Brandy but this is definitely more of the subtle, infused flavour you'd expect from a fine brandy liqueur. By that I mean it smells like one complete, coherent, entity rather than a apple flavouring on some heavy boozy notes. This is what you get for a good couple of hours then the fragrance reveals that it actually has a really decent strong woody base. This perfectly encapsulates the 'cask' effect a deep and gorgeous oak note which lasted on my skin for hours. There's my favourite labdanum too...you'd be forgiven for thinking this fragrance could be a damp squib and run out of life after that boozy entrance but that's just masking the great basis this fragrance has in wood and resin. Apple Brandy is definitely up there in terms of creativity with the likes of B2B and Straight to Heaven rather than many poorer efforts, which shall remain nameless. It's even better than those two in my my book because it performs better that S2H and I prefer the smell to B2B. A winner here from By Kilian but because it's apparently not available in the refill or atomiser pack, I won't be buying it anytime soon. Longevity 10 hours easy but it does go very low on the skin quite quickly and doesn't project all that much but that doesn't matter.
The first I've tried from Ormonde Jane...I think? Well this is the first review in any case and I have to say, a very impressive fragrance. The composition of this scent is truly well conceived, I often think of Geza Schoen being an ultra modern, minimalist (or con-artist?) due to the eccentric Molecules line. In fairness he's done many works worthy of note like Kinski and Bouddica Wode which are pretty complex. Anyway... Montabaco is a real knockout and I'd say it's quite a floral focused scent at it's core. The sweetness of jasmine and magnolia definite chime strong in this and more so as I was expecting it to be laden with heavy tobacco, especially from the way the SA sold it to me. The tobacco isn't that strong though and even the bergamot, and herbal clary sage/tea combo comes through delivering quite a fresh and uplifting scent. There's a warmth behind it all the time though and I'd attributed that to sandalwood and cedar ~(ISO) but when the main event lands the tobacco sits subtly but powerfully under those top notes. I genuinely couldn't Identify it as tobacco from the first couple of hours and then, as if by magic it's there and suiting the other notes perfectly. It's even a little bit smokey too when you get deep into the drydown. I don't know what else to say about this fragrance other than I wholeheartedly love it, and I want a bottle.
I was very, very impressed with this fragrance initially, it goes on strong and really is full of Citrus and woods as the name suggests. Sharp citrus opening which is neither lemon, grapefruit, bergamot but then slightly orange too. The balance is added by Cedar, vetiver and birch smoke, hint of spices in particular ginger and oakmoss, which had me thinking I'd found a real masculine gem in Yardley Citrus and Wood. The main problem comes when it doesn't even last an hour on my skin, before it just goes 'poof' into the ether, leaving nothing behind. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to performance but I can't rate a fragrance that is this poor on longevity, no matter how good the opening is. Sorry this gets a thumbs down from me.
When will I ever learn? I blind bought this....foolishly. I was hoping it might resemble the original more than some had been stated in the (largely hateful) reviews below, or if it didn't perhaps it would even be a little like the summer cologne tonic...that would've been fine. I'm sorry fragranticans I didn't heed your warnings, I blind bought and not even at a particularly good price either. The opening is Apple (like) I suppose, but then descends into a kinda sage note and a powdered back drop of chemical Amber. This really is quite a bad fragrance. I had forgiven Dior for the recent Sauvage because it seemed like a focused and deliberate attempt to make something minimal based around Ambroxan. So many reviewers here have mentioned what Kouros Silver smells like and many of them are plain wrong. The closest fragrance to this by a mile is easily Paco Rabanne Invictus difference being this has less notes. I don't like it, it's not an awful smell but something about this, Invictus, and Versace Eros etc...turns my stomach. The performance is as I expected...INSANE. It lasts and lasts projecting heavily.
Oh dear there seems to be a lot of hate here, not sure it's got a lot to do with the actual fragrance probably more the man himself. As a mancunian and a die hard United fan, you can understand that there could be some bias here but never fear fragrance fans, I'm on a quest for the truth and if this fragrance was bad....I would tell you so. Truth is, for a designer release and especially for a celeb fragrance, Legacy is really quite good. I'd say mediocre and a little bland perhaps but totally wearable, no jarring notes, no god awful repellent aroma chemicals sticking out, just a smooth ride all the way. I can't say I can imagine Ronaldo wearing this, I thought he'd wear/create something much louder. I understand he didn't formulate it but I'm assuming he had some input? Anyway, it's understated opening is basically violet leaf, citrus and lavender but really well done. The dry down has a little more powder and I thought perhaps a touch of iris I like this because it's sort a balancing act between this and citrus/vetiver and a hint of spices. Please don't write this fragrance off because it isn't half bad...worth a sniff at anyway. I personally wouldn't buy it but it's no doubt as good or better than half the stuff on designer shelves at the moment. Update: Well I did end up buying it (only at a rock bottom price) and I must say I have to revise my initial statement slightly. I've allowed this fragrance to get away with olfactory crimes I would not forgive from the likes of Boss or YSL etc... just because it's a celebrity scent (and therefore the enemy) I did set the bar quite low, only to be surprised when it wasn't awful. Wearing Legacy today however and it's a bit of a mess...might be giving this away.
