Fragrance Reviews by tfaust

I bought this not long ago and it's become a mainstay in my collection. The opening is powerful - spray lightly or you'll be changing your shirt by lunchtime. I was 15 minutes into this one when nostalgia hit like a hammer, and I was reminded of Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men. It's not precisely the same, but the bright herbs and woods became a strong reminder, and ever since I've worn this one at least once a week. The drydown is addictive. A keeper, to be sure.

Andy Tauer notwithstanding, Yatagan is my Lonestar Memory. This is summer evenings in the dry and dusty central Texas hill country. A bonfire of dry live oak branches, with a little oak moss. Some grass and a hint of livestock give it some warmth as it develops, but it never gets sweet.

It's a flinty-eyed ranch boss with a deep tan and a black hat. It's quiet and versatile and dry. Wear it with a dark suit, but not a light one. You'll walk tall in this scent.
