Fragrance Reviews by JonB

This is a wonderful wood fragrance. Yes there is some incense, but it's not as important to Jaisalmer than it is to the other frags in this series. This is really a nice spicy cedar fragrance. It's thumbs way up for Jaisalmer, although it would be improved if there was a bit more incense. Layering this with Kyoto is very, very nice.

SirSlarty described this well; I don't need to add anything to his description of the scent. I can just say "Wow". This is a gem. Why aren't there more reviews of this wonderful fragrance (price perhaps?).

Tigrushka pretty much says it all: An elegant and meditative scent.

This could be worn for any occasion. This is one of the scents that made me say Wow the first time I wore it. It's a bit subtle, yet has very good longevity and moderate projection. This isn't a masculine or feminine scent. It's not about sex at all. It's for simple enjoyment. It's asexual. I look forward to sampling the rest of this series, since they all seem to be highly regarded.

Very clean and fresh, but I can't help but say that it doesn't smell like anything natural. Probably the most synthetic frag I own. I like it nonetheless.

More herbal than pine. In fact, don't come looking here for any pine needle type notes; they're not in PS. This is more of an herbal/cedar thing. There is definitely a BO note in this too.

Very, very weak. Very simple. What's interesting here? I don't know.

Smoky, woody, spicy, classy (but not snobby). This could be a daywear or evening wear fragrance. Excellent.

Nothing stupendous, but quite nice. Won't offend anyone. Very good longevity. Some faint fruitiness, spicy wood, and leather.

Honey, smoke, tobacco. A bit sweet for me, but nice. I don't think I would buy it, but it was pleasurable to test.

Blah. Smells like a lot of aftershaves of the 1960's (just like Cool Water). Safe I guess. Just not my genre.

Lemon and grapefruit making way for a light vetiver and white musk. Very tastefully done. A bit introverted. Seems like this could be unisex. I like it very much.

Pine only shows up for about the first 45 minutes. After that, you've got artemisia and a bit of nutmeg. A very nice composition.

Unlikely to offend anyone. Light woodsy. Pretty simple. A bit synthetic smelling. A bit sweet and boring. Won't buy it again.

I can understand that some people may not like vetiver. I've got to say though, as far as I am concerned, it adds a tremendous amount of "freshness" to a fragrance and is a good counterpoint to any sweet notes. It's a sweet-sour kind of thing. I love this stuff. I sniff myself over and over during the day when I wear it.

Longevity is very good for me.
You can't complain too much about the price either.

A very nice wood note that lasts. It would be even nicer with a bit of complexity. Gets a thumbs up nevertheless.

If you like oak moss you will love this one. It's not lacking in the moss. Vetiver and Sandalwood make it a nice trio because of their similarities. This is just as you would expect, very dry, spicy wood, slightly smokey. Long lasting, but lies close to the skin. Apply to your wrist, or back of the hand if you want some projection.

While drying, this smells almost exactly like Irish spring bath soap (though much stronger). After about 30 minutes it's lost much of the bite, and I smell sage, slightly sweet, and a small amount of celery. Nice, spicy, fairly strong. I like it, but am not enraptured.

To my uneducated nose this doesn't smell like musk at all. It smells like baby powder. To me this is much more to the feminine side. I don't smell a single note that smells animalistic or dirty. Quite sweet. Oh well, it was worth buying the small sample to discover this.

Wonderful, peppery scent. Just wonderful.
A definite thumbs up.

Smooth, sweet Sandalwood, moss, amber. I don't get any coffee, or any bad notes here; but maybe it's just my body chemistry.

A bit on the dry side, but that's perfect in my estimation. Good longevity. I can't imagine anyone who likes Sandalwood not liking this one. This is formal, but not only for black-tie events. I can think of many occasions when it would be appropriate.

I fell in love on the first wearing.

9.5/10

Kind of smells like rosemary and cucumber. What a strange scent. Smell first before buying.

Citrus/aquatic scent. Not my taste at all.

A blast of green at the open, and the green stays for a long time. Settles down to a clean, somwhat green with great basenotes of musk, honey, moss. The first fragrance I truly fell in love with (some 20 odd years ago). Today it seems tremendously powerful; it's a bit of a challenge getting just one "small spritz" that fits my chemistry. Lasts forever. When used judiciously, this is a great addition to anyone's collection.

Just too powerful on the leather and patchouli for me. Overbearing. Sillage= A lot!
I will be generous and give it a neutral.

Woodsy and sweet (but not over-the-top sweet). Smells pretty much the same after a short dry down. Good lasting power on me. Projects well. A really nice woodsy, spicy, somewhat sweet fragrance. A very nice scent for a man.
