Adventure Quasar (1999)
by J del Pozo

This one is light and clean, and its notes are quite enjoyable. It’s opening contains a bit of exoticness by means of the Asian citrus, and green notes — or maybe it’s that Bombay Gin note effervescing up from the middle that does it. Regardless, Quasar Adventure opens more green than citrus and I really admire the balance and refinement of the accord. True, it is subtle and a bit aquatic, but it is also a finely assembled accord. This is a quite complex fragrance — more complex than most aquatics – and less synthetic. The complexity enters in even more strongly to the middle accord, where I can find the geranium, the Bombay Gin, and the sage up front in a bit of an exotic accord; the soft lavender textures the background of the middle. As other reviewers have mentioned, the base is, perhaps, the most important and impressive aspect of the fragrance: I get primarily a wood base with a very nice musk echo. It’s not the traditional wood base, it, too, forms part of the adventure. This is a quietly unique fragrance — its excellence is in its minutia, which is something I wouldn’t have expected judging from its rather clunky bottle. Unfortunately, close to the skin, the fragrance does carry a slight alcohol / cologny characteristic, but that condition doesn’t show up in the sillage. From the broader view, Quasar Adventure is short on overt drama, but there’s a lot of adventure in the details. All things considered, Quasar Adventure is a very fine fragrance that deserves more attention that it gets.

I don´t think this perfume is just simple, i think it´s quite complex and in a way very genuine.
It´s quite different and reacts quite differently in any skin creating a unique aura.
yuzu,ginger flower,seaweed,and the amazing note of the fig(quite aquatic and juicy)make it as unique as Kenzo pour Homme in my opinion.
For sure it´s a non for all perfume.
Give it a try;)

Not terribly complex, but one of the most pleasant of its genre. Yes, reminds me of many other things but the light musky drydown is very pleasant and at the price, it's well worth it. Similar to Echo, D&G Light Blue, Into the Blue, etc...but surprisingly good longevity.

I gave this try because I like "Quasar". This is just as good. It almost has a Acqua Di Gio kind of smell to it. Nice and warm. Not too sharp or overbearing. I don't know who J. Del Pozo is, but he makes two good fragrances!

I bought a bottle of 'Adventure Quasar' from Perfumaina last week after sniffing it on a tester card for several days. After testing it on my skin, I (too) haven't decided if I Œreally¹ like it that much. I'm not very good at describing notes and granted it does smell similar to something else(that I can't pinpont just now....) but it has a 'different' drydown(that's a basenote, right?),which makes it interesting. I'll have to 'give it another go' here soon and let it 'evolve' ;^). The jury is still out. It may grow on me, but right now I've been into Bvlgari 'Extreme'

I'm not sure when I'd wear Adventure Quasar. The drydown is certainly the best part. Before that it's just the same as loads of other mediocre fragrances out there. The sort of light spiciness reminds me a little of Creed's Neroli Sauvage (as well as D&G Masculine.). Anyway, it should come in handy from time to time!
