Fragrance Reviews by gordonm

This is a really clever fragrance. All the private collection are marketed as unisex, but in my experience, this one smells either very masculine or very feminine according to the wearer's skin- i.e- not unisex but one or the other as opposed to a fence-sitter. Not an every day at the office type of thing, but could be worn day or night. It has great subtlety in a very distinctive manner. A great blend of amber with wood, a dry / sweet balance with great lasting power. A refreshing detour from the mainstream "ozonic note, low-carbon-footprint, inoffensive, Walmart, boil-in-the-bag " rubbish. Whilst this might be twice as expensive as a bottle of "everyman's juice", do not be put off. It's easy to know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Check it out!

Isn't it just amazing how an individual's reaction to a particular fragrance can differ so radically to that of the next guy! I am a great fan of this site, but I do not often feel moved to write a review. I read the last two reviews of Duro and felt I had to add my own. This perfume is the most powerful intense, masculine fragrance for years! To use the term of the "cognoscenti", the sillage is in the realms of science fiction. If I pick a shirt out of the washbasket a week later, I can still get that wonderful refined, deep, dark and expensive aura. As for sweetness- Trebor- are you sure you werent eating a toffee apple when testing this one? This is dry, dry, dry- on me anyway. All joking apart, this is one to try for any guy who is a serious scent fan. And Trebor, as I said at the start, I'm amazed at your experience with this one, but hey, funny world if we all liked the same. To any readers, try this, it's streets ahead of 95% of what you can get out there. Not an every-day fragrance, but top-drawer evening wear.
