This is arguably the first major classic fragrance that I will be reviewing on my channel. It's really hard to judge a fragrance that has such a cult following , and it's even harder when your opinion differs to the rest of the world. I know this is a fragrance that has been on the market since the 60's and I had to really open my mind that this is one of the pioneer's in the fragrance game for masculines. Well first and foremost yes this fragrance will be reviewed in May and it took me a while to really understand what this fragrance is about, there is so much history attached to this classic. My first impressions of this is yes it's a classic and yes it stood the test of time for so long and it has it's fans (basenotes has like 120 likes to 20 negs) and almost religious followers. Do I think this is something I would wear on the regular ?? Not at all actually . Would I recommend this to my subscribers ??? No not really, unless someone is really looking for something like this. Do I think it's well made ? To a certain point yes ! I like it but not enough to wear on a day to day occasion. I think it's something every cologne head needs to smell, the smell of the past.
Overall I love the opening to this , then it just goes downhill from there. This might be the first review I feel that I am taking a classic that lots of the experienced frag heads respect and love and actually give it a fairly bland score. I respect it (kinda like rive gauche pour homme by ysl) but it's not for me.
