This begins as a strong "dirty" blast of sweaty musk (giving Muscs de Koublai Khan a run for its money). It calms down to a powdery musk after 15 minutes. Slowly a delicate rose note...

Onto the fragrance. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain a sample of this through a generous BN'er. In my quest to find a cheap alternative to Philosykos, This one was not what I was...

Hi Azul, Welcome to Basenotes.

Concentre D'Orange Verte - A very natural smelling citrus scent. I had this on last night and it has good longevity and sillage on me. But can be a little expensive compared to other designer frags. Really nice in hot weather.

Live Jazz - Love the grapefruit in this. Very refreshing because of the good use of mint. But longevity and sillage on me is a tad low.

Givenchy Gentleman - I'm quite new to this frag and sampled it the other day. The drydown is very good. If u like frags like Kouros then u might like GG. Its been reformulated and members have said that the vintage version is even better.
