Cologne Grand Siècle 07 (2005)
by Parfumerie Generale

First impression is a combination of colours; grren and orange with a hint of yellow.
A cologne with definately tangerine (not orange) and a little sharp lemon. The green brings to mind tomato plants whilst the fruit is still green (which sets me a little on edge as I'm allergic to the plants).
It doesn't change character, it just fades. On me after 20 minutes it's all but gone; after an hour it's hard to detect where it was sprayed.

Ordered a sample.Couldn't wait to get it.I guess it was the thrill of trying something new.I thought with the price tag($120 for 50ml 1.7) it would be phenomenal.Not so.It' doen't smell bad at all but if your going to charge that much for that little I would prefer to smell it longer than 15 min on myself without sniffing myself.However longevity and silliage aside it smells great.

Like with the opening of Trumpers GFT the lemon is fresh and uncomplicated, though not quite as bright or sharp. Within an hour all I'm left with is a lemony soap smell, a bit of a let down.

This should be mentioned as a good lemon cologne. It is very fresh, and strong upon application, although I cannot attest to the longevity. The notes are primarily lemon, orange, and tangerine, and there is nothing else to interfere with their clarity, no vanilla, musk, amber, or wood lurking in the base. Only a clear citrus fragrance is imparted.

Reminded me too much of instant lemonade powder.
Too synthetic, but long-lasting.
Art of Shaving 's Lemon is much better.

Word of warning: this, while amazing smelling, disappears after 3-4 hours. I supposed it's because of the organic (non-synthetics) that were used. Pros and cons

A zap of citrus woods at the top. This had me! Loving it. I applied it in the morning and around a lunchtime break when things at work had calmed down enough for me to search for the scent I put on earlier. Sadly, it was not to be found.
