Grezzo d'Eleganza
by AbdesSalaam Attar Profumo

A classical blend of dry aromatic resins and citrus-herbs with just the right touch of sweetness in the base. Any listed animalics (castoreum?) probably project within the subliminal plane of existence for it melds with my natural skin scent into one helluva suave 'player'. GREZZO may not be very original in terms of composition but in execution, it surpasses most. I think my search for Mediterranean styled classic eau de colognes has finally ended with this quintessential embodiment of Italian flair and virility. Guys, hold on to your ladies for they cannot help but swoon!

this is my new signature scent, i love this stuff! for me it had such a sweet opening scent that even though top notes, i could catch its even during the dry down. deff some oud in here and tempered with the neroli wich is deff a fem scent balanced out perfectly for me. tried it with the sample scents of the soul and immediatly bought the larger bottle. i wore it to a car show(99% men) and one lady said she liked my smell. i asked her to tell me what she thought when she smelled it and, she said it seemed like my bodys natural odor but, it was very pleasing. i deff feel a confidence boost with this scent and will wear as often as i can!

I got a start of lively citrus and bergamot. This passes quickly, and I get some elegant flowers and herbs, and something very animalistic, which I understand is castoreum. This is an arresting note, and balances boldly with the florals. Later the herbs develop as the flowers pass, and elegant woods and resins join in. The castoreum remains and balances this arresting, bold fragrance. The mood is dry, elegant, and sensuously masculine. The drydown comes fairly soon, and again it is dry and masculine, with aromatic woods and a touch of incense, all brought out by the castoreum. Really dry, with a sophisticated, masculine edge.

Semi-sweet balsams, dry herbs, and the hint of distant sweet woodsmoke in a forest. Intoxicating, masculine, and powerful with not a hint of harshness, synthetics, or vanilla (although it is said to be used in the formula) in the drydown. I also got the slightest hint of citrus oils in the first few minutes. Sillage is low-moderate and longevity is maybe a half a day, presumably since Dubrana's scents are certified, completely, natural substances.
Everything comes together as one of the most pleasant, evocative, and unusual accords I have ever smelled.

Starts out like a traditional eau, but has an Italian flair with a healthy dose of thyme. This is definitely masculine. The thyme is at once resinous, dry, spicy. Excellent. A big thumbs up.
