   |  Don't let the poor sillage and longevity stop you; STORY is easily wearable. So go ahead and go crazy with this one. The first time I tried it the grapefruit in the top notes kicked like a mule. But a second wearing quickly unveiled a green heart which is nothing like the harsh pine note in Bowling Green. Rather it is softer, with perhaps a touch of floral that reminds me of my time in the military, lying in concealment among dew-covered ferns and leaves, waiting to ambush the enemy troops. Just before the crack of dawn. But that's another story...11 September 2009 |
  | This story is printed on acid-free,100% recycled paper...yeah, it's that Green. To my nose this an alternative take along the lines of Mugler's Cologne and Bulgari PH. It has the same bright opening accord as Mugler. I think it is even brighter, it's "vetiver" is razor-sharp yet still very pleasant. In the middle notes, I detect a slight musk begin to creep in, which combined with the green opening quickly brings to mind Bulgari PH. It has neither wood, leather or vanilla in its base, which is to say it fades off to nothing, rather quickly. Despite the sub-par longevity (Mugler Cologne and Bulgari PH last ages on me) for the summer and the price one can't really complain. 02 July 2009 |
  | I had a change of heart with this one. A while back I was not too impressed with it since I found it to be too subtle. However, now I see that I was mistaken when spraying a bit more on this time and getting some sprays on the clothes as well. The longevity and strength is much greater than I originally thought and that was my main complaint when I first tested it. This has a light clean aura about it that is enjoyable. This is an all-around scent that can be worn throughout the year but is one that I will be reaching for in the warmer months. 19 June 2009 |
  | wow, a fresh scent that's manly, it reminds me of D'Issey in that aspect. It smells like a grown-up's Curve to me. However this would've been a borderline rating for the lack of longevity and projection, I'm giving it a thumbs up because I love the smell. 17 June 2009 |
  |  After reading the reviews, and paying particular attention to the comparison between Story and, I assume, Creed Vetiver, I bought a bottle. Very attractive packaging, indeed! And the juice is a warm, welcoming citrus, drying down to the woody accords. I wouldn't describe this as a Vetiver fragrance, however. As other writers note, sillage is a problem. Thankfully I was prepared for a VERY short story, which is what I actually received. Hopefully the manufacturer can be encouraged to release an Intense version of this fragrance. 29 May 2009 |
 | Nice, green, understated scent. The ivy definitely gives it a certain something, though. I like it, my partner loves it. Definitely worth trying. 27 April 2009 |
