Alain Delon / AD by Alain Delon

Another love at first sniff frag .
Super rich , complex & very masculine .
Nothing synthetic or cloying .
A little secret I will share to those lucky enough to venture this deep researching this sleeper .
This my friends came before Santos & Caron's 3rd Man , and these two others I believe were crafted , mixed & released with the same results in mind .
They both came close first Santos , which is like a brother but is a lot weaker hence the Concentree that followed .
Then 3rd Man which was released some 5 years after AD which I regard a twin but not identical .
If you like Cartiers & Carons offerings , try & get a sample of this sleeper !
***** 4 & half STARS *****
.
.ps ... Is nothing like Yatagan as mentioned below .

Nemo by Cacharel

I liked this very much straight from the first whiff ..
Nothing pungent or synthetic to my nose .. Reminds me of Opium PH & Varvatos ..
A super sexy frag .

Maxims pour Homme by Maxims

A big thumbs up to this masterpeice !
It was love at first sniff .
I disagree completely with TV's absurd comparison to it being a combo of F Smalto & Montana ,, this is nothing of the sort .
Incredible opening & rich throughout the drydown , with a musk that just really must be worn to be appreciated
***** This is in my top five *****

GrigioPerla by La Perla

Thumbs up ! Its green & fresh and leaves you wanting more & more ,, I believe its longevity was its demise ,, A concentree would be most welcome ,, I use it for intimacy rather than day long projection/attention .

Im glad I bought this as a blind buy almost a year ago ,, Its sweetness is mild and hidden deep in its makeup of spices ,, I wear it in rotation with and find it interesting ,, 4/5

YSL pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

Very very ordinary ,, I don't honestly see how this can be liked by so many ,, It smells like concentrated Lemon toilet disinfectant !

Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene

very fruity and un-appealing .. Actually reminds me of walking into a fruit shop on a stinky hot day and most of the goods are over ripe .
