Hypnôse Homme (2007)
by Lancôme

Different, yet easily becomes boring. A spicy floral top, with a sweet woodsy/musky dry down. Almost identical to Antonio by Antonio Banderas.

Great opening of cardamon and mint. Starts falling apart as the weak lavender and amber creep in. All surface and no feeling. If you enjoy topnotes exclusively and want to carry around a bottle all day to relive them, then HH is your fragrance. Otherwise, I can think of 10 fragrances in this genre that run rings around HH. Roucel must have had a off-day when he created this juice as only one day was needed to get the top notes right and 5 seconds for the base.

This is a quality fragrance. Classy and sensual and one of the most under rated fragrances I've come across. It's lavendar heavy, but it blends so well with all the notes that it's just a pleasure to wear.

This fragrance has a dominant opening of lavender, followed by a very soft bergamot. And so this combination continues to the end without major changes.

Finally, a very linear fragrance, safe and easy to use. Pleasant aroma, but not a big deal. My thumbs down will focus on longevity. 3 ~ 4 hours after application and virtually disappeared from the skin.

On a lavender-citrus-mint foundation some resinous and musky elements try hardly and very faintly to develop without being able to complete the transition towards something really  hypnotic,  fully dusty or anyway towards any kind of creamy smoothness. The scent indeed remains along a bit harsh, citric and herbal (the lavender is prominent) just taming endly its drought due to a touch of woodsy amber and milky-spicy air. The combination of lavender, amber and spices impresses that sort of cool-sweet-bit dusty feel with a touch of synthetic milky-talky effect. A bit of prickly bitterness announces that there are some spices in this composition that is anyway basically green and bit aromatic notes, lavender, may be cedarwood, moss and final amber. There is a touch of orange initially detectable. The fragrance turns out subtle anyway and well balanced with a classy and bit conservative temperament and with a masculine final depth of amber and patchouli. The final issue reminds vaguely a decidedly less dusty and dense kind of One Million's or Xeryus Rouge's dry down. Those fragrances  are anyway different and more talky-resinous kind of scents. In the average the longevity. This one turns out close to the skin.
