This smells like a deeper version of Pulp. As if the perfumer wanted a calmer, woodier version than the blast of fruit that is Pulp. So basically this smells more interesting and complex, more...
What a beautiful citrus. Sweet, tangy, realistic orange with hints of white flowers for seriousness and wearability. My only criticism is that it fades into soap on my skin, but on fabric it...
For those reading my reviews, you know my #1 favorite cologne is Diesel, Only the Brave.. I am also a fan of that Diesel's "big brother", Fuel for Life...
Fuel comes out of the bottle with...
Ok - I am a "sucker" for new designer fragrances... Living Stromboli was one of these purchases.. I am pleasantly surprised with the scent - I just wish it lasted longer.

Guerlain's Arsène Lupin Voyou. First wearing, one hour into the drydown. I like the fact that Jean-Paul Guerlain's two Lupins have clear development during drydown. Voyou has a refreshing start of spicy herbs, pepper and coriander, but then turns to a surprising almost fruity rose scent, and I now begin to smell benzoin and patchouli, with a resiny-dry edge that smells a bit leathery. A smoky sandalwood at the end. Sort of Coriolan meets Bois d'Armenie meets - hold on! - Nuit d'Amour (that fruity rose). I like it. Didn't think I really would. Read the bad reviews about it smelling like all the other fresh-woody ones. The rose and the benzoin do the trick for me I guess. That sweet touch to all Guerlains.
