Morgan de Toi Homme (2003)
by Morgan de Toi

I am a huge fan of Annick, so I just had to have this. All that can be said is that it's very simple and to the point. It simply does it's job of being a stronger version of a modern cologne and nothing more.

Like it or leave it, that's the extent of it.

I bought this kind of blind. I seem to recall sniffing it on card before buying online some time later.

I'm indifferent at best. It's very masculine but I find the blend to be rudimentary - very little complexity and not particularly nice to my taste. I do recall the lady in the shop I tested it in saying that she loved it which may have influenced my purchase. This for me will be a scent for the office until it is used up and it will not be re-purchased.

It's a sharp, metallic and slightly oily almost like a bodily secretion but with very little warmth or approachability. Sillage is nothing special and longevity is also nothing special. I could still smell it on my skin six hours later, but not in the air within minutes of application. To me there is so 'little' to this scent from start to finish that the sillage didn't surprise me.

Maybe it will work better in the summer, but with the snow threatening outside, I find myself non-plussed by this.

The moment I smelled it I liked it. I have never heard of this brand. There was a tester in one of the fragrance shop. I haven't payed any attention before. I went inside and looked if thay had something new and they had some very special limited fragrances with very special bottles (of course very expensive). While I was leaving the shop, I have seen these testers and gave a try to the one for males. The moment I sprayed it, I liked it but I wanted to give it a time. What I have noticed is that it dosn't change that much. Only diffrence is at the opening it is a bit more alcoholic and citrusy, but later on it becomes subtiler and becomes woody. Sandalwood, but a fresh sandalwood as if there is a bit touch of pine or cedar. Sometimes it reminds me scent I had in my room when I was at highschool; the mixture of pencil made of cedar, smell of my ereaser with a nice scent and the tangarines and apples I ate. Maybe that is why I like this fragrance. It brings me back to those days,but only that but also the people around me like this fragrance very much. A lot of friends a colleagues ask me which brand it is and wanted to buy it, but neither I nor they can find it. I hope that it is not bought by a big name to birng it to the market with it's own brand because I have seen prctices like that before. Many years ago I had special fragrance shop in Ankara and the owner of ths shop was crazy about scents. He used to France very often and came up with new fragrances with not very wel known brands. He used to let me know because I was a good customer of him. He used to tell that this scent would be very popular and come to the market by a different brand. One of the I can remember is CK One which I had it by a different brand 2 years ago before it was on the market by CK. The other one that I can remember is Jaguar.

I dont like this one at all. Its too heavy and seems to have a plastic/metallic smell. By the way, don't try to do what i did and pull off the top, as you snap the pump stem.....

Interesting that I tried to *dislike* this one at first. It does have a very simple, ordinary nature that may bore some. But as I kept smelling it, I found it to be a very confident scent to wear, which ladies tend to like (not all, though). It is very masculine, and can be worn by young or older alike (maybe not the Rocabar/Bel Ami/Antaeus/etc. demographic ;)) ... and for only $15 at Sephora for a 4 oz. bottle, I *had* to get one! Seems to resemble Platinum Egoiste a tad, which I also like a lot.

Decent fragrance, soft subtle, then raises up another level. The atomizer is awesome,ive worn this now like 3 times and it looks like nothing is missing.
