Not only that he liked Knize Ten, but, quite ironic for a scent which is usually perceived and defined as old-school, conservative and gentlemanly formal, I think Knize Ten captures and embodies many parts and aspects of his personality, as it is, in my opinion a frag which can be, at the same time, sensual, warm, manly, slightly dirty, yet also highly complex, edgy, even dark yet with an immense amount of self-assurance, yet also a slightly dandified tendency towards extravagance and elegant, composed ease ("ease" definitely not in the sense of being light, since it's a rather heavy scent, far more in the sense of effortless, laid-back pursuit of the finer things in life), as well as a far too energetic form of rebellion and unconventionality to be exclusively a dandy frag, and, maybe above all (although now I'm fully aware of quoting far more a movie industry stereotype, rather than a truly decisive feature of James Dean) leather, leather, leather and leather again, in all possible forms: spicy, aromatic, powdery, hunky, yet also extremely lush and alluring, bad boy leather as much as gentlemanly leather, exhaling an extreme warmth yet also a menacing, as well as equally captivating distance (fit for the truly complicated, unpredictable, extraordinarily blessed characters), leather halfway through between fetish and status symbol, leather halfway through between the boy and the man, the heartthrob and the misfit, leather as both a ritual and a fashion statement and the list may go on.
