I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! It's not heavy, and is more of a natural soap smell than an actual eau de parfum smell. If they bottled a bar of Ivory soap this would be it. I live in an...

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY encourage you guys to wear it. It's HOT. Seriously. I really want there to be more men that wear this. Thanks for your consideration.

It's supposedly unisex, but I'm afraid it's too urbane and masculine for me right now. :/ C'est la vie.

I quite like it...but I prefer 53. I find 71 a bit "soapy", and 53 more floral (apparently 50% hedione).

I wish the bottles were more accessible too...the large bottle is too big, and the small bottles are just too expensive. rant rant.

I like Odeur 71; on me, though, it isn't soapy; it starts out smelling like mowed grass, and then moves more towards copier toner. I like the copier toner.

I want to try Odeur 53; I can't smell anything from it on paper and haven't tried it on my skin yet.
