Fragrance Reviews by G23riel

OK, the bottle was less gay than the one pictured above. The bottle looked like the Ferrari black but cap was silver and box was obviously red.

The EDT gave me headache and I hardly ever get headaches from EDTs.

The notes did seem to clash and it was not a smooth fragrance.

I am kinda amazed this EDT is in production.

Yeah, a very mild pleasant oriental. Comparable to Hugo Boss, yes but less sophisticated. More comparable to Hugo's Energize which I call Boringize.

Does not develop, but it is a pleasant frag. Sillage and stay average. I would recommend frag only if you do not want something distugstingly sweet like Pi but want a mild oriental. Me, I want more personality.

A good clone of Platinum Egoiste PE, but less pricy.

Overall, the top notes simpler and slightly more peppery then PE but then the drydown is the same to PE. Not sure how come PE is not such a lady attractant as VS. Almost as if VS accomplishes the same scents w/ fewer notes.

I have and love PE, and T from Tommy, and think VS is great. VS has _much better staying power than T. T is much more peppery.

Somehow, T and VS are more simple and much more popular w/ the ladies. I get compliments from T but not from PE. Go figure, I think girls like something simple, crisp, fresh. Cheaper?

VS1 will do well with the ladies, and you may also like it as well.

I did not like its synthetic characteristics. I tried it a while back and I was disappointed.

This just did not have enough fragrance and the fragrance that it had was cheap and synthetic. I guess even a good house can have a boo-boo.

Liked the bottle and the color.

Not much to say that it has not been said: very masculine, in your face Spanish EDT.

The top notes can be very overpowering so for quarter hour I don't really like it, but then then once it dries down it is very masculine and dry (not sweet).

I usually apply Quorum on the left and on my dominant side Faconnable which is a woodsy sweet complex EDT. Faconnable is distinguished but soft. Qourome is dominant and blunt.

Surprisingly, on my skin they don't clash and are very complimentary and become multidemensional.

Love it.

I am surprised w/ the mixed reviews. Yes, not overly manly components but this frag is delightful, fresh and sophisticated.

Not unisex, nor sweet. Slightly soapy. Top notes not outstanding but not offensive either. Top reminds me of Versaci PH or D&G tops, not what I expected.

The drydown is better than the above mentioned frags and is spectacular. It is true that the sillage for the drydown is not as impressive as the D&G but that is not necessarly a negative aspect. I would dare compare this drydown to Safari in its sophistication but it is mostly exotic woods and not leathery/soapy.

This is a phenomenal floral/woody frag. If you like orientals at all, give this frag a shot.

Yes, I bought.

Essential Green Lacoste = somewhat masculine, citrucy/floral frag

I like it b/c it is fresh, but it was ran by tangerine. Much better than Cerruti Image, not nearly as manly and bold as Tuscani by Aramis.

Could see where this frag could get old quickly even if you like the scent. There is not much in the way of development, but the stay is pretty good for a citrucy frag. Sillage was good.

If anybody really loves Essential and thinks it is the bomb, try YSL Kourous _Fraicheur_ which has more dimension, is fresher and lasts longer. It is worth the premium price (it was discontinued) :(

Overall, Essential is not a bad frag and is a safe buy.

Armani Code = Black Code = Clean oriental unisex frag

Very pleasant, could easily be an office scent.

Not sure where the "black" comes from: this scent is not solemn, not sophisticated, just soft and clean. Not overly sweet.

Stay and sillage were average. Not very dimensional, just smells "nice" as per my girlfriend.

I like Burbery Brit, Jaipur, and Lacoste Green PH more and they are within the same class and have more complexity. Not nauseating like Pi. Code is not a bad frag, and would go along with a timid but well meaning demeanor. Just not me :)

Very unique and masculine. The drawback is that it does have a cleaning product strong citric note but that is spiced up very nicely. Not a "me too" scent.

To compare it to a classic fougeree would be a crime since this frag is distinct. Yes, you will get the tonka notes but also the citrucy notes will be there as well. Does not develop, but I consider that a plus b/c on me this is the first citrusy frag that actually lasts more than an aftershave. Overall, I like it, not sure if I will buy.

Disclaimer - when G PH is one of your all time favorites, it is hard not to be biased.

Envy is great, but it reminds me of medicinal creams. So I use this setback to my advantage as my new daytime clinic frag.

The drydown is amazing. Based on reviews, I don't see how this fragrance could be described as refined. It is pleasant, powerfull and powdery but far from refined.

On me, if I took vanilla, antimicrobial triple ointment cream, topical anesthetic cream and some ginger/nutmeg spice I would end up with the same medium and base. The amazing part to this frag, is that it actually works together!

Aqua de Bulgari = Aquatic male fresh fragrance. Light.

Less character than the Acua de Gio and Polo's Black.

Better stay than Polo Black, much less A de G on me.

Not a bad try for the aquatic fan. Personally, don't like aquatics. Tried it wanting to see if it had another dimension to it, and it failed: it was very predictable, aquatic.

Mixed feelings - I tried the EDT. I was expecting the frag to be sweeter and crisper but it is smooth, almost powdery. I like it more than Pi as it is more spicy and less nauseating.

More refined than many orientals including Gucci's Envy.

Somehow, I wanted to get intoxicated in the frag and it was bland but pleasant. Stay was good even for EDT. I personally like Santana and Gray Homme Lacoste more as they simply have more layers and complexity. Ditto for Burberry London.

I also have Envy which I like more as a basic non-offensive medicinal smelling vanilla clinic frag.

Definately should try if you are a fan of orientals.

Not much more to add. A very good, classy fouragee. I have Chanel's Platinum Egoiste and this frag is basically the same. Well, I have Realities as well, and I am pretty sure that if I combine 2 parts PE and 1 part Realities, I get this fragrance. Overall, very good frag for the money, opens up intensely, base is smooth and pleasant. A+

Synthetic yes, may have a limited niche. It reminds me of the sweet smells associated with the upholstery scorched by the sun. It is sweet, synthetic, metalic. The base has a fabric softner aspect to it that is not as distinct as your average oriental but pleasant.

Overall, I could see somebody like this fragrance based on that burnt car seat smell - it reminded me of my first car. The base is nice.

Boringise!

Very light on my skin. Tried it as a comparison to Hugo and Energise just failed to inspire.

I found the scent pleasant, just not enough notes. Nor did it have the dimension of the original.

In retrospect, I should have sprayed 3x more than once so I could have something to say about the frag. Bad sillage and stength. Pass.

Very safe Oriental frag.

I find this frag pleasant, but do not like it nearly as much as Lacoste PH (grey) as it just does not have as much dimension. Yes, all the notes come together well like the political correctness of fragraces. Could see why it is still a favorite after all these years.

I have read a review and bought the knock off fragrance which I like more b/c it has an added dirty musk scent to it that makes it slightly edgy and at the same time keeps the oriental scents.

Originally, the top was very brisk refreshing and rather manly. Similar to the top for Kouros for men.

But then more subtle notes appear which are sweet, floral and feminine. I still like it, but not for a guy.

I tried the oil, which had a stickiness to it that was almost organic. I don't want to get to graphic, but I had thought of its sexual aspects even prior to reading about the "dirty musk."

From my perspective, very sexy frag on a girl. I disagree that it goes with jeans and T shirts, I think it would go better with more formal attire to add a little dimension.

The top is like liquerish. I don't like the liquerish candy, but this frag is _slightly sweeter and I like it, but almost as an aquired appreciation.

30 min later the middle and the base are oriental warm. Definately still manly. More generic at this stage, and similar scnets to V man / D&G.

I like it, but I could see where I could get tired of this frag as the top is very commited to liquerish.

By comparison, black Jeans is a lot more unique, dark asphalty and refined. V man is more generic, but more easily tolerated. The Dremer is a pretty good compromise between acceptance and being unique, but I would try before buying.

Platinum Egoiste = manly, aromatic, fouragee.

Went off from the reviews and the pyramid and bought blind. Sillage excellent, stay average.

Not bad, but I was expecting a bit more dimension coming from a '93 fouragee. It reminds me of the 70s fouragees where top = middle = base. Now, I do admit the base notes are more generic but the scent is an all around a aromatic fougeree.

Fresh and pleasant, not offensive and could see where this scent could transition very easily from day into the night.

Borderline refined VS copy of 70's fouragees.

Oversprayed = offesive.

I like it, but think there are fouragees out there that have more personality / dimension now at the same or sllightly cheaper price tag. Not in my top 5.

If I remember correctly, it was a pleasant generic frag when I first tried it about 10 years ago. It was advertised all over and it was sweet and sporty (unidimensional).

Longetivity was a joke, as this was a mass EDT, aimed at selling the ounces not the quality. Amazing, but 10 years later, EDT is still going strong.

I don't see anything unique with the fragrance, and find it a safe EDT for the timid teenager. Now, priced for that age group as well.

Knock yourself out if this is your thing, at least is not going to make me gag.

Bellagio EDT = disgusting Aquatic

The top notes are pleasant and citrusy, that's it. The fragrance then develops itself into an intense aquatic.

To me it smelled like 2 day old stale fruit salad. Amazing, because I expected the sillage and longetivity to be less than a well known Aqua the Gio (which I can stomach). The longetivity I cannot tell since I went to scrubbing the essence out, but the sillage was excellent for triggering my gag reflex. Maybe other folks had different batches that were more washed out than mine, but this EDT was intense.

So I washed, rinsed, and repeated. Came home and killed off the rest of the scent with the original Aramis. I think I will have a gag reflex when I think of Bellagio EDT for some time.

At first I thought the notes were too sophisticated to be a sporty EDT.

But then, as the sweeter top notes quickly disappear, the frag becomes very sporty and unidimensional indeed. I like that it is not Zesty/citrucy fresh, but a seaweed/tobacco/spice blend that somehow surprisingly passes as fresh.

Now, I think Tommy's T or the Nauticas are better sporty EDTs (more fresh and bold/unidimensional), but I could see where this frag has its place as a bridge between RL and a sporty EDT. Sillage and stay average.

Polo Blue mellow fougere/aquatic/slight spicy = mild little pony.

Not a stallion, like Green.

Polo black has a more aquatic rotten mellon top and blue has a more pleasant cucumbery yet still slightly aquatic top. The middle and base blend together into a very pleasant frag that tries to have personality but falls short due to its disapointing silage and stay.

Overall, I like it, could not justify paying a premium cost, as I just cannot put into the same category as Safari and/or Green. I guess I would pay 20 cents on the dollar for this frag.

I am amazed that nobody has compared Versace Man to D&G. The top notes are slightly different as more sweet, refined and more multidimensional than D&G, but thereafter the frag is the same. And D&G outstays V M.

The bottle is toyish, with the large plastic cap more suited for an adolescent playing oversized Legos than an adult.

Overall, I really like V M, but wanted more differences between it and D and G. I just wish they were bolder in making a variant from the classic D&G that most of us adore.

Aramis original = classic, masculine, aromatic, woody, fouragee.

I admit it, this stuff gives me a headache if I don't put it directly on skin or if I overapply (2 full sprays max).

But otherwise it is perfect: non apologetic, in your face, I own the world (and you) type of fragrance. This is what I imagine General Patton, John Wayne and Dirty Harry wore.

Oh, and the girls who say they don't like it, they are attracted to the fragrance whether they admit it or not. I have (and love) plenty of oriental frags but I don't wear them when meeting girls although the girls like them more. Ladies want a man, not a guy that smells delightful. And who am I to disappoint when I still have 2 ouces left.

But take my word, overapply and you are toast.

Polo Green =
Dated, yes.
Heavy, yes.
Multidimensional, edgy, spice fougeree, yes.
Classic, absolutely.

Not for wussies.

I think Kouros wins the longevity, and P Green the heaviness.

I think a man in his early 30s should wear this over the over advertised Aquatics anyday, but I would advise wearing this frag to parties rather than offices as frag is _not_ subtle. Overall, I love it as I am not subtle either.

Polo Black = Aromatic, subcategory Aquatic.

Better than the few other aquatics I have tried, as it has more dimension. Paradoxically it last much less than Acqua de Gio. Sillage is great but lasting power is low. If I _had_ to wear an aquatic, this would be it as it is a little more edgy and spicy than the average aquatic. And yes, it does have the stale melon smell which is an aquired sense. Just goes to show that you should wear what you like not what girls like, so Green for me.

It is an awesome spicy and pleasant frag. However, the spicy notes disappear and what you get is your own skin scents as the base notes. This frag desperately needs woody base to make it complete. Would get thumbs up then.

Wonder what will happen if I combine this with Gucci's PH (on my skin), as I think it will be bad@ss combo!

As far as comparing Silver Romance to Safari, that scent is opposite - Safari starts off ordinary fouragee and builds up into a leathery, tobacco, soapy base that is phenomenal and long lasting.

Aramis Always is aromatic, subcategory aquatic. Citrusy notes were on me a whopping 10 minutes. Overall, Very Very similar to Agua de Gio but cheaper on the wallet.

As I don't care for aquatic scents, I did not really like this. I did get one compliment wearing it. Sillage and stay are less than Agua de Gio but I can actually stand this fragrance without wanting to run into a shower. Medium stay. Safe fragrance if aquatic is your thing.

I agree with the reviews: not a young man's EDT, a very powerful green frag that becomes slightly woody and mostly detergenty with time. Not lemony on me.

Undeniably fresh: you feel like you have just rubbed a bunch of leaves between your hands. It has a floral aspect that is not feminine (not sweet, but dry) and prominent that I really like.

Amazing frag for the price given that it has an average stay. Not for weaklings as there is nothing tame about it.

Awesome, just amazing frag. I love the tar dry down. I agree it is evening wear.

It is unique and general public is not going to wear this. Not cheap smelling, but rather dry, and sophisticated.

There is a small chance of offending people because it does smell like tar meets green leaves. This is a risk that I more than willing to take if I can find a bottle of my own.

Overall a mix that works: starts off with a date/exotic fruit and ends up more fresh(aromatic) and oriental (warmth that everybody noted).

Problem is that it does not last that long to be considered a classic.

And for the asking price, there are other excellent frags that beat this one in sillage and longetivity and draw even on uniqueness. So, if you are getting a good deal, I would recommend it.

Tried it without reading the reviews beforehand. Really funny b/c I thought it reminded me of _good_ alcohol (brandy) and spicy fruity notes combined. Then, I read all these refences to holidays :)

First of all, it is unique. It is not a 'me too' frag. I did not get that much woody scent on me, but I could sense a little. Longetivity is not as good as Burberry brit, but I would easily call it average, possibly above average.

I really liked the frag at first then got slightly annoyed of its drunken sweetness 2-3 hours later than by hour 4 enjoyed it again.

My word of advice is to keep in mind that people may think you've been drinking.

Pleasant aromatic fourage, unfortunately there is just nothing unique about it.

It is a weaker product than the discontinued but very cheap Clairborne for Men which you can now get off web for 15$ delivered. The floral aspect is captured much better by the Clairborne.

Another option is Perceive by Avon which is an EDC which lasts just as long but costs 4 times less. Same pleasant 'me too' scent.

Sillage, longetivity average to below average.

Not much else to add = aquatic scent. Longetivity, sillage excellent. Personally, I just don't like the scent. Very commercialised and possible a victim of its own success as 'me too' fragrance.

I really like it b/c it is not sweet. Androgenic chypre yes, slight gardenia top which quickly dissapears into a soapy and powdery base that retains a trace flowery scent which is never sweet but is very pleasant. Much better frag than ones thrice as expensive.

I have to admit that I was biased by my previous experience with Black which I hated b/c it lasted few minutes so I wanted this frag to be better so I could see something redeaming about this house. But, this frag is just as bad as the Black. Starts off with a very invigorating clean crisp top that fades into nothing in less than 1 hour. I would venture say that it is aftershave strength but lets just play it safe and call it eau de aftershave. :)

Shame on you, Kenneth Cole, calling this an EDT.

On the classic versus outdated debate, I believe it fits into classic. Definately not a "me too" fragrance. Yes, starts off citrusy/fourage but then matures into a base that is unique now b/c it is not oriental, not powdery, but fresh. The longetivity was above average but not outstanding. I usually burn through fourages and citrusy fragrance in minutes to 2 hours and this one lasted much more. Still between this and D&G, I think I would wear D&G more. I recommend this frag, may buy it if price is right :)

After trying the EDT, I was expecting to come to basenotes and read more people have negative reviews b/c I really loved the scent - kinda scary when people are in agreement w/ me.

The top is spice, cinnamon, apple, fruits, lavender and are just awe inspiring.

The middle continues w/ this top, but builts in, a manly smoky smell along the lines of incense or tobacco. The base does away w/ deserty notes and you get a drydown that is oriental and manly at the same time.

This is Avon's Tomorrow, thrice improved: made less sweet, more spicy and with smoky notes. Great staying power, just like Tomorrow. Cannot see why women would not love this scent (on me).

Carlos, A+, amigo.

Aromatic ( Fougere + Spicy ) + then powdery >> trace woody.

Top notes are wonderful fougere and spicy. Intense, manly and powerful, kinda like the name implies. I was hoping this would continue but no viagra here. Instead, it turns into a powdery version of the fougere which is deodoranty and very forgetable. very trace wood scent.

Starts off hard, goes limp in no time. Sorry Liz! Never my style - I would much rather take on Safari than this...

Light citrusy smells come to mind. It is fruity but not sweet. The middle notes are still fresh but quickly diminish. I have tried colognes or after shaves that last more than this. The frangrance is fresh, citrusy and pleasant, and if it came in EDP then I would retry it. But until the staying power is reasonable, I will stay away. Even then, I would have to reconsider its variety of scents.

Cool bottle. Yes, I saw it, yey. Good for them, they made a fragrance with a wonderful bottle.

Wow, what amazing top notes: for 15 minutes I am in berries and rose ecstasy! Bear in mind, this top is not overtly sweet, is unisex, and is my equivalent of digging into those representative jams. So, I loved the first 15 minutes. Then middle notes take over and it is a generic citrusy smell which become more bland and indistinct in a matter of 2-3 hours. Does every fragrance need a base?

Kinda of a heartache for such an inspirational top. Since I don't do drugs it is my equivalent of fragrance cocaine. Kids, don't say you have not been warned.

"Citrus notes of mandarin and grapefruit, grounded with earthy sage, sensual patchouli and calming cedarwood."

Cheaper Drakkar Noir, yes, but a flattering rendition. It IS EDC strength and not an EDT, so the stay is about 3-4 hours on me but the scent is always fresh, not powdery, not synthetic. On me it is an aromatic sligtly more then citrus smell, it is comparable in stay with other well known EDTs. So I give it a lukewarm thumbs up based on price per fragrance, despite a short stay.

Nice sweet oriental. 10$ per ounce for a pretty sweet fruity, cocoa smell is a good deal. Not overly sweet. Reminds me of synthetic flavored candy. Unisex. Could be a little bit more spicy and more manly for my preferrence but then people would call it too pumpkin pie(ish). Fair staying power. Overall, comes on stronger and remains sweeter than Lacoste pour Homme, finishes earliear and does not have the unique rum notes of Lacoste. But I like it and keep it despite having Lacoste.

Multidimensional and great fragrance which people don't readily pick up on. OK, hardly ever anybody can name it. 8/10 On my skin, top and base notes blend together and are difficult to distinguish - but it is unmistakably full refined oriental/fourage mix which is unique to this fragrance. Excellent lasting power. I got it as a dual EDT package gift, and I always wore this rather than original kourus which is stronger but more bland with fourage/incense only smell. I would agree this scent is a 'hidden' gem.

Stetson Black - a lot more refined than regular Stetson or any other brand discount fragrance. Not offensive in top notes (which are usually offensive in expensive forage EDTs). I was pleasantly surprised, did not buy it b/c the lasting power was as bad as all other EDC. Is it an EDC or EDT anyways? I agree w/ Allen-at-home, this fragrance is better than Kenneth Cole Black and actually has a sense of blackness or dignity to it. It is as if the higher priced brands want to make money, while this one just to make a good fragrance. Stay is EDC grade on me, unfortunately. And then if I overapply, I would be no better than the average jerk who overapplies a Stetson. Its people who may kill this fragrance, the fragrance is great.

A marriage of top and middle notes form an aromatic, masculine scent. A powerful rosemary/sage top note is noted. Unfortunately, does not discriminate itself very much from the green deodorant in the dollar store: it is a a little more smooth than spicy but otherwise on me does not smell all that much more than if I took a shower with irish spring and then put generic green deodorant on. Cannot pickup the honey base note on me. Like the smell, do not find it refined, not sure if worth the price.

Priced greatly for the product. Old fashioned smell could easily think of grandpa putting this stuff on. Very aromatic but unfortunately has one or 2 dimensions (notes within the aromatic range). Lasting power mildly below average for me about 6 hours before all essence off. Good product for the price. 7/10

Aromatic fougere but oriental as well. Very refined, starts off being more aromatic then oriental notes are notable. Surprisingly classy smell with medium high staying power. I liked it as an fougere EDT since I found it multidimensional, and refined. I am not sure how I would deal with saying that I am wearing Beckhem Instinct, since it is not sporty. The name of the EDT should be changed to "classic" or "night" since most people would assume the essence to be sporty. Expensive 7/10

A modern sporty, fresh smell. I love the smell, but it does not have much dimension and surprisingly top, middle and base notes blend together. I would admit it is kinda generic smelling, ie a Nautica cousin, but it is nice and more modern. The staying power is above average although truth be said, Nautica Competition stays a bit longer. A sporty daywear. Good fragrance for the price.

For an aromatic fougere scent, it did have a considereble amount of woody smell. However the heart and base were pretty bland, but not ambery and not generic. The top notes were surprisingly refreshing for an unmistakably fougere EDT - which I usually find offensive at first.
Relatively new and expensive for what you get, stay was medium. I recommend it for the people who are sensitive to aromatics but are addicted to them. 5/10

Unfortunately, on me the fragrance was aromatic (fresh) then oriental. No woody, coffee, chocolate, sweet or unusual scents at all. Did have the oriental/aromatic mixture which was invigorating and pleasant, but not sure if worth the high price considering the stay was medium/low. Sorry, very plain on my skin, and I would not buy based on price. 4-5/10

First few minutes are wonderful: the top is a medley of notes including incense, leaves, ginger, mint married together to give a an aromatic uplifting pleasure. Then the the middle notes are amber and very forgetable. The fragrance lasts less than 3 hours on me and the good part 30 minutes! What a ripoff! I have given this to someone else! 1/10

The top notes are aromatic annoying and cheap. Somehow their combined effect smells like a typical cheap aromatic cologne that Mr Sleazy wears. The middle is more refined and the offensive notes disappear and the frangrance become more generic aromatic at this stage. The base is amazing becouse it is slightly aromatic but more woody/leathery, difficult to pinpoint. The base lasts for a very long time and is pleasant. I have mixed feelings about this EDT b/c it starts off horrible, becomes generic and then unique in the end. The lasting power is above average. Price is still high (cannot get it dirt cheap). 5-6/10

Top notes very very spicy and pepperish. Kinda reminds me of grinding black pepper and putting it on my skin. Then the green notes become notable. A very mellow pleasant freshness is noted. Not offensive. Stay power is horrible 3 hrs max on me then nothing. No wood scents (don't be fooled). I usually rate EDTs w/ low staying power poorly, but this has a clean aromatic fresh smell that is worth having even for a short while. For ths stay to $ ratio, this is an extremely, extremely expensive EDT that should be downgraded to an EDC. But I love it.

Aromatic ( Fougere ) meets woody

Marriage of the aromatic top/middle and the woody base is classic. Nightwear for me. Love it and overall a great smell. Most people will love this masculine fragrance. Hate the ads for D&G as it usually shows 2 dudes about to screw a third guy. This is a horrible image for their line which I would hate even if I was gay. But the scent is already a classic.

Oriental = Woody

Marriage of woody scent with an oriental refined smells. The base is more woody while the top is more aromatic. Great smell that is sophisticated and pleasant. Unmistakably masculine and to some degrees alpha masculine as a trade off between strong woody smells and an oriental pleasing notes. Nightwear.

Aramis, Life - men, citrus >= aromatic

Top notes are sweet and citrusy, then the middle and base are more masculine and aromatic. While I cannot pick up on the specific scents, I pick up a subtle woodiness to the this scent that catapults the EDT way above average because of an interesting marriage of citrus (very early), aromatic and woodiness (little).
This scent is not sporty as Agasi's face may portray, and I would not hesitate wearing it as a day EDT. Don't care for Agasi's face on the cover, as it takes away from the product and makes too commercialiazed. I guess better for seller.

Realities - top notes more are very flowery but heart is aromatic masculine and full (many notes come together). Overall, a pleasant fresh smell that is full of aromatic notes which I cannot pinpoint. I like this more than Paco Rabonne because it has more dimension and a richer flavor. Better than the cheapest aromatic Gray Flannel but a lot more expensive as well. Not in the same class as D & G because it does not marry aromatic and woody smells together. It does combine an aromatic and generic amber like scent together to give it extra dimension. Do not think anybody would ever stop you to ask you about the fragrance, but it is a comfy aromatic.
