this is like a well rehearsed opera. every note is in tune with each other.the 3 players are the amber/vanilla/incense mix. very intoxicating but also cloying after a few hours. I only have a 3ml...
Elegant, subtle, and refined,
For an introspective frame of mind.
Close to the skin, it lingers on,
I'll re-apply before it's gone.
I wish that it would longer stay,
But "Less is More,"...
Bentley for Men Intense opens with the faintest brief spray of dulled citrus mingling with a sheen of black pepper, before quickly adding laurel and cinnamon spiced smooth boozy rum-laced incense...
Skimming through the reviews of Habit Rouge it's apparent that this scent comes/came in many incarnations, wastly different. I've tried a current EdT. .. There's nothing masculine about this...
Wazamba is better in all ways, better scent, better longevity and sillage. The only thing I really don't like about Fille en Aiguilles is the super short longevity.
I get a full day from Fille en Aiguilles, easily. Two sprays is all I need to project and enjoy for 10 hours or more. Surprised anyone would find it short-lived.
Fille has quite acceptable longevity for me as well. I'm wearing it quite a bit right now, as it seems perfect for this time of year.
Can't say much about Wazamba, so you might want to test the two, but as was said above, Fille is really some wonderful stuff, and it's unlikely you would ever regret having it.
I much prefer Fille en Aiguilles. Wazamba sounds like something I would like, but the overly sweet fruitiness of it just put me off both times I've tried it.
I would go for Wazamba as it's a more rounded and longer-lasting scent. Fd'A had an initial blast of pine that reminds me of bathroom cleaner and it lingers, ruining the fruity incense drydown, which is nice but not nice enough given the pine intrusion.
