A classic, includes notes of lavender, oakmoss and tobacco. Recently, the packaging was updated but the scent remains the same.

  |  Fantastically powerful and long lasting so apply with caution or no-one will be able to get near you! But still an absolute classic that has stood the test of time. If you search ebay it is remarkable how few used bottles are on offer compared to other famous fragrances.05 July 2008 |
 | One of the early so-called aromatic (or herbal) fougères. This class of "fern" scents ("fougère" means "fern" in French) traditionally include the trio of oakmoss, clary sage, and coumarin (in this one, that's the tonka bean); they also often include lavender. Jean Martel's take on this cleverly introduced rosemary and laurel. These are both herbal-resinous notes that aid in yielding a much stronger projection than the earlier fougère scents. The rosewood in the top adds a fresh, floral-woody note, and the honey in the base gives some depth, richness, and a bit of animal "sweat." The times were right for this pumped-up version of the fresh, lighter masculine EdT. It was, after all, the era of the muscle car... 15 June 2008 |

|  I can smell the notes individually: lavender, moss, sage, all good but together it becomes a soapy linear scent. Well composed but too strong sometimes.26 May 2008 |

| a stone cold classic. just bought a bottle of this today. the last time i'd smelled it was when i had a tiny sample when i was 12 years old. I got re-interested in this after i smelled Bond No. 9's "Great Jones"....which is an EXACT (i mean really really exact) copy of Paco Rabanne PH. To me, this smells like an underground indie rock and roll show. I don't get all the reviews about lavender and floral, and blah blah blah....to me, this smells like petrol, musk, and a rubber/leather compound. It really glows and lasts forever. I can sense its presence at all times...... absolutely brilliant. completely masculine...with driving gloves, a leather helmet....aiming for the tight turns of an italian mountain road. 29 April 2008 |

| Good on me. top notes are powerful and lasting. Great value, only best to apply lightly. Often attracts admiring comments widely used, probably not for those seeking something rare or individual. 16 December 2007 |
