I am seeing a lot of "orange" scent comments, but to me, I smell a lot of Iris scent in it?

It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

Pour Homme is very pleasant scent that once you apply, you have the clean and fresh showered feeling. I am a big fan of Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances and have many to chose from. Free Time has...

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...

also got to try this was told it smells "like a frenchwoman's crotch" didn't catch the name.

all I've got to say is, men, don't start wearing this one, whatever the perverse pleasure of wearing ladies' frags, STAY AWAY!

it's actually nicely done and I think some men here will wear it, but maybe not, I don't think there are many men wearing like Malle Lipstick Rose around here are there? it's not similar in smell at all but it's got just the same vibe. it's actually beautiful but "for her" not him.

I strongly disagree. I find it extremely wearable as a man.

I wore Citizen Queen for a couple of days over the weekend, and found it a phenomenally good aldehydic animalic floral.
(Perhaps if Chanel No5 and Agent Provocateur produced a love child, Citizen Queen would be it).
I found the wonderful musks emerged and the florals receded.

In anycase, I have been underwhelmed by the Juliette has a gun line. Additionally, I find them all very feminine and unwearable for me. The fact that Brittany Spears wears them is another deterrent.

I've had the experience of several French women's crotches and they were all delicious. Can't say I noticed any Bulgarian rose though. They were enticingly musky though.

Anyway, I liked Lady Vengeance by JHAG, it being a fragrance they now openly sell to men, as it has a more of a male feel to it.

If this is leather and rose and animalic with it, I would definitely wear it.

Luckyscent has this now.

Sounds a lot like No. 18 by Chanel. Which I don't like.

The bottle's ace.

it's not like 19 I wouldn't say at all, it's more like a caron.

in answer to the question of what will happen, maybe your cremaster will go berserk if you wear it...
