In it's 'lightness' does it resemble any of the notes of the original 'Woolite-esque' Gendarme?
Thread: I received my Gendarme Sky today |
During my lunch break, my Gendarme Sky order came in. First thoughts:
1. Bottle is just a bottle
2. First spray..."it smells like the sky", meaning, air
3. I'm starting to get mad at how light this is (but it is called sky...)
4. After eating lunch, I'm picking up the scent now...its hard to describe. Definitely peppery, something something.
5. Scent is turning very Frederic Malle like, meaning, its very light but distinct. This does remind me of Angeliques Sous La Pluie (sp?)
Of interest, my bottle is personally signed by Topper himself. I don't remember this being part of the description.
More to come.

It is completely and totally unique from the current Gendarme line. The pepper and the cognac are nicely blended.

Aaaaaah ... that sucks. I really had high hopes for this one. I thought it would be different than the usual Original Gendarme "variations", and that it would be longer lasting.
Oh well, at least they just released the EdP version along with Sky. I'm very curious how much different this one will be than Gendarme 20.
Also, the website did say that any bottle of Gendarme EdP ordered before May 25th would be signed by Topper himself. It didn't say anything about Sky though ... but maybe he was hanging out by those bottles and just decided to sign those also.
It is definitely different from the usual Gendarme line. Surpringly, as long lasting as the original as well, well over 6 hours. Not bad for an EdT.

So overall, thumbs up or thumbs down?![]()

A great summer scent. The cognac makes me want to have a cognac.

So far, the only Gendarme that is a "keeper" for me is Gendarme V.
And I have been a "sucker" for almost everything Topper has put out.
I purchased both the EDP and SKY and both of my bottles were signed....
on a side note though....are all GENDARME spayers weird? Like as in the spray puff clouds....not at all what I'm used to in other sprayer frags....Don't know if I really like that...Other thoughts???

I agree with you about those sprayers. They somehow manage to spray almost 180 degrees! You have to have the sprayer very close to catch it all, or you end up wasting 50% every spray!
Lately I've been wearing:
Windsor, Bois de Santal, Original Santal, Elixir, Douro, Endymion, Reflection, Arcus, Marwah
I also agree, the sprayer for my Sky is lame.

OK ... so what's the verdict on this one guys?
Yay or Nay?
Awesome!
I've been dying to get a whiff of this ever since I heard about it. This has pretty much solidified that desire.
Thanks man!

I never remember this until it is too late and the spray that is aimed at my chest always hits me in the mouth.
Now I know how my ex felt.![]()
