Clean, clean, clean and soapy as they get. The top notes are really unique and lovely, but the dry-down becomes, as one poster noted - "Lava Soap". Still, if you want to offend absolutely nobody, this is a great cologne, although you can achieve the same effect for a lot less money. I like the Gendarme line a lot, but this one...hmmm.

One reviewer has noted a “good tar soap” note; another a tar note. For me, those are very close to my experience. It reminds me of a pumice soap I used years ago (called Lava). At any rate, this is a clean scent, albeit a different type of clean. Not bad, but something I would go for. I get decent longevity out Grabazzi.

Loud soapy laundry detergent. If you want to smell like this, why not dab some softner on your neck?

Smells like really good tar soap, and really good lavender. Reasonable sillage and longevity. The most linear and one-dimensional offering in the gendarme line-up. It's good, just really expensive for something so plain.

You know that "new car smell", the one that's attributed to the chemicals in the car's upholstery that haven't settled yet? I get a hint of that in this at first. Right from the vial. Ah well. This stuff is overratedly rich. Better than the regular ol' Gendarme male fragrance. This has a bit of a chintzy personality. A good patchouli with a hint of lavender. Other notes just get lost.

The top notes are lively and bright: a citrus / floral / pepper accord with a very apparent lavender rising up from the middle notes. I seem to get a rather odd note in there somewhere, but I can’t quite place it — sort of a dull tar-like note. The jasmine and other florals from the middle give a soapy smell that I don’t really care very much for — it’s just seems so Procter and Gambles’ detergent. The dry down is light and subtle but there’s not much more I can say about it because it is basically nondescript. The fragrance does not have a very good longevity on my skin. No, I will take any of the other Gendarmes over this one any day.
