This smells like a deeper version of Pulp. As if the perfumer wanted a calmer, woodier version than the blast of fruit that is Pulp. So basically this smells more interesting and complex, more...

What a beautiful citrus. Sweet, tangy, realistic orange with hints of white flowers for seriousness and wearability. My only criticism is that it fades into soap on my skin, but on fabric it...

Palermo by Byredo, 2010

To my nose, this is a rather simple fragrance that starts with grapefruit amd ends with woody rose. If that's what you're after, you should try it.

I smelled some Michael Kors for Men today, and I felt it was very familiar. When I got home, I took out my bottle of the original Davidoff, and damned if they weren't very similar to my nose.

I checked the notes here in the Basenotes Directory, and they seem pretty different. Maybe my Davidoff is so old that it's gone off...

But what do you think, guys? Do these two seem similar to y'all?

I really think they have nothing in common. Totally different to me...

Long story short: Michael is GOOD - Davidoff is HORRIBLE.

Thanks, guys!

I guess my Davidoff is very old, and perhaps mellowed from its former stinkiness. Either that or my nose is off... Could well be.

Wiser heads... and sharper noses!
