I started a similar thread several months ago and it received very few responses, as this seems to be a pretty unknown fragrance. It's not listed in the directory, although a Googe search will easily lead you to it. It seems to sell for about $30. for a 1.7 and $50. for a 3.4.
The owner of my local perfume shop offered me a 3.4, wrapped in a faux leather pouch, for $30. several months ago. I took a whiff, and was intriqued but I had already spent a hundred bucks and decided to draw the line--for that day, anyway! Anyhoo he eventually came down to $20. and I bought it.
This is a quite unique product. The bottle is a striking cobal blue. The name "John Sterling" hangs on a faux leather tag (presumably) glued to the bottle. Sounds cheap but it doesn't look it.
The scent itself is quite hard to describe. It's "different" but not in the offbeat/weird way of, say, a Dzing!. It's different in that I have a very hard time comparing it to anything else. It's KINDA "fresh" but not in the current meaning of the word. It has some real depth to it and longetivity is decent. Every time I wear it I seem to discover something different, which is unusual for me in a cologne. I usually "get it" (though rarely can describe it) upon a first spray of a cologne, but this one really is kinda mysterious for me as it seems to reveal more every time I wear it (which is all of twice now). It seems complex to me and I suspect it has a fair number of notes.
I searched in vain for the notes in this one, hoping to give you guys an idea of what it's like...I'd love to see someone who knows this weigh in with his/her opinion and write-up.
If you're looking for an unusual, stand-out scent, this one may be worth exploring. I like it quite a bit.
