Citrus ( tart lemon) and a lot of oak moss. Animalic notes. It is very 70’s . Strong citrus barbershop old fashioned style of fragrance. Half way between Musgo Real and Moustache Original EDT. A clean gentlemanly fragrance from a fading era of fragrance world. It's in the same category with things like Eau Sauvage, Gucci Pour Homme 1976, Chanel Pour Monsieur etc. They are similar but different in their own ways. Suitable for moderate temp days. It is an OK fragrance to me and it is not something that I have reached for quite a while now. Longevity is about average and silage is not that good. It becomes a skin scent on me pretty fast.

Although it smells good, it smells nothing like the original.CONCLUSION | ★★★ If you like this fragrance profile and don't own the original formulation then this release is extremely wearable but sadly (to my nose) it is a pale imitation of the 76% volume original bottles I own. I think I found the last bottle on the internet that was going for decent price from an authorized retailer. It arrived today and it is the square black lacquered bottle. I think I panicked about the fact that it has been dicontinued. Glad I found it again and quite a flashback. I had a couple of bottles with the red top on repeat when I was young. A stunning fragrance and indeed there is nothing like it on the market today. Cultural heritage that sh...
