Fragrance Reviews by David_M

I finally got this after a 2 year search; it's somewhat difficult to describe but I notice that this frag, shares almost identical notes with Zino Davidoff,except Arrogance does not have Vainilla in the Base notes and their is another notes that is different between this and Zino, I think its a Rose note, anyhow the frag is quite different from Zino in that there is a prominant leather note, but its very light, you can also smell some of the other notes that are similar to zino creeping in but they are subdued, the overall smell is luxurious, spicy leather but not to leathery smell, longevity is is so-so or it could be that its so light and wear close to the skin, personally I can still smell it on my skin after 4+ hours, its not overt like the typical scents of the 80s.I am sure it never gain popularity because of it's Name "Arrogance" or because it was so "loud" anyhow its's a good one for any collector to have

At first I was dissapointed when I first tried it, I thought it lacked longevity but after using for over 2 years I realized I was wrong, its actually has quite a staying power, the middle and basenotes seems to get stronger, its the kind of scent that lingers ,the notes are beautiful, people complain about the staying power? fragrance that are overly strong lacks elegance, creeds has the quality of subtlety, pepole seems notice this on, they lean in close to to get a whiff trying to figure out what you are wearing

Actually I was Looking for "Yatch Man Red", by the way the spelling on basenotes is wrong, is not Yaughtman but "Yatch Man" but its not here, anyway the "Red" smells kinda like the Original Joop except not as sweep and cloying, wears close to the skin, and it has the typical Spanish twist i.e its very manly and virile, the bottle is nice it is shape like a Yatch, I don't have the list of notes but I wish i did

Well, last reviewer said this smells like grey Flannel, I disagree, I think its more along the lines of John Varvatos, sort like a very formal and sophisticated scent,
