Fragrance Reviews by R_R

Legendary Harley-Davidson was my first cologne: a gift of my mother when I was 14 or so.
It was my signature for years and I still think it's great: simple and sensual, masculine and intelligent, with this fragrance I started to love patchouli and sandalwood.
I wore it day and night, but I put nearly double quantities for the night since it doesn't last.
I read it's similar to XS by PAco Rabanne and I admit I like it very much too, but XS is much more aggressive. I NEVER put XS when I went to school, while I had no problems with Harley Davidson.

Zino was the first cologne I really chose for me and I must say I went for it after having fell in love with Davidoff cigarettes years before. I first tried Cool Water and Deep and I loved them, but I wanted something more... More Davidoff! And Zino is that thing: I can spray it right under my nose and nearly reach ecstasy. Don't bother the ones who tell you that this isn't good when you meet a girl: intelligent girls will associate you with Zino's class and richness. Because classics always have something to teach.

A little bit effeminate on me, I still think it's wearable in many occasions in which you want something fresh but not so "cool" like Cool Water.
A litle complicated: that's its strongeness and weakness at the same time.
One negative note: it doesn't last on me more than 3 hours or so.

This is the first fragrance I bought only after having read reviews instead of having tried it myself.
The bottle charmed me, the name too and the reviews confirmed it. It's the scent I was loking for!
I'm half-Mexican half-Italian and Sybaris remembers me of the colognes that many adult people (uncles and maybe my father too, but I know he used Antaeus at the time) wore in Mexico during my childhood.
It revives some part of me that sleeps most of the time...
Speaking of the notes, I think the Cumin is the touch of class: you cannot find a Mexican dish without Cumin!
My thanks to all the reviewers of Sybaris and to Antonio Puig.

P.S.: I'm in my first 20s, not in my late 30s, but I care not! It's a matter of personality instead!
