Denim Musk (1982)
by Denim

You know what I thought, there is no DENIM
Cologne..Right now am in Singapore, 16hrs and ( two plane rides away from home) and am actually holding a bottle of DENIM COLOGNE!! NOT the AFTERSHAVE!(by the way that's not what i came for) I only cased the frag joints looking for something new or old, hey its new to me if Ive never tried it before! I admit it surprised me as a cologned, stronger, great longevity etc etc what more can i say read Ken Russel's Review if you don't believe me.

This is one of the scents that has made me more openmineded about mass- market scents. Not only that it smells good, it can also be affordable and outlast even moderately and costly priced eau de cologne and even vapid eaux de toilette. But what i liked most about it was the scent- like the Original, it combines above average scent strenght with something almost too classic and stylish to be smelled in a supermarket aftershave. One female friend told me it would smell of mint and truly the opening is minty fresh and icy. After this opening, mossy notes which also builds up the link, the transition towards the drydown. This one is is also mossy, woody and slightly leathery, the earthy note of musk adding class and persistence. I always thought Denim ( with all its variations) and othetr mass market scents are dated- yet not timeless or conservative, just old- fashioned- , suitable for dirty, senile, tasteless old men trying to believe that they can be thrifty(when buying scents) and still pick up the girls like in their lost youth. But this fascinating variation of Denim proved that i was soooo wrong.
