Solo Loewe by Loewe

This is class! The packaging/bottle are of the highest quality, and the product contained within lives up to expectations generated by them. Floral, yes, but in a very "masculine " way. Peppery, yes, but not overpoweringly so. The other ingredients are very well balanced and longevity is expected (at the price) and is delivered in spades.I see no reason why this should not become a classic. Probably unknown to many, but do give it a try. You will not be disappointed(IMHO).

Ghost Man by Ghost

This was a blind buy, and I have to say that I am impressed. The top note resembled XS Black(Paco Rabanne),with which I am definitely not enthusiastic. However, the mid- notes resemble Kouros, the YSL evergreen(pardon the pun). The base notes are sweeter than Kouros(on which this just has to be inspired by - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)and just as long lasting. I am more than happy with my purchase, and would recommend without qualification. Great packaging too!

Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent

The way it used to be. If you wanted a film for photos of your daughter's wedding you would choose Kodak. Similarly if you wanted an edt for guaranteed freshness(relative term) throughout the day/evening you might choose Kouros.Now superceded by " modern" fragrances, it will always be regarded IMHO as the one to make an impact. This however, could be , as well as it's greatest strength, also it's weakness. Everyone knows what you are wearing, it is unmistakeable, perhaps unique.No one will ask you what you are wearing; they will know. Classic is overused sometimes , but not here. Enduring it is, as with few others.
