Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Now that that's outta the way, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Ok ok...
I should probably write a thing or two. Ok two it is:
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (1)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (2)
LOL (no I'm not actually laughing out loud...but if I didn't put that in there you'll think I was silly and immature).
Alright so here is something other than Mmmmmmmmmmm:
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy. LOL ( see above)
I wasted all that space. Or did I .. Raised left eyebrow.
You see, my review is not going to do a thing for you that Buzzlepuff hasn't already done. Nicely, may I add. :)
However I should add a thing or two. Two.
Then.... Add up all the m's (capital M's too) and the rest of the "meaningful" words and you may get a "taste" for this Gentle Giant.
1st- I'm compelled to mention here a very important fact.
If your not a fan of Dior's Leather Oud (La Collection Privee Line), then walk - NO RUN from this. To my nose they are quite similar.
I said similar. Same vibe/DNA .. You can insert what ever word best helps you see that point.
If you are a fan ... Stick around. I really do wanna help.
But first- Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
There. Promise that's the last one.
As I mentioned earlier, the Dior reference, I'll use that assuming that you've gotten a whiff or two of that one.
If you haven't. You will either glean or grin. Both good.
I love the Dior (a promise is a promise, you know... all the m/M's.
BUT I ADORE THIS!
Animalic, leather with a tad of "tamed" woodsy undertones that are seemlessly blended with Vetiver/Amber. That is correct this is a Vetiver based ( add some Patty) frag.
It's not in your face but trust me it's there and it lends a "sharp" edge to this fragrance whilst still maintaining this amazingly soft woody undertone.
Smeared throughout this concoction .. To my olfactory bulb, is a hint of warm spices, the perfect amount of civet, which when combined with that beeswax .... Mmm (nope. I promised)
If what I wrote there sounds a bit paradoxical. Well it is.
Hence my second point:
Look at those notes. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Look at those big, fat, heavy, turbo charged (twin) notes. Not one of those, in that 3 tiered triangle is NOT a heavy hitter.
Yet BTV has done a masterful job of making them so seemlessly blended that you never feel the stiletto as it goes in.
Deep.
But you don't feel it cut. Promise.
Because... Well... Ita a Gentle Giant.
A friendly monster that you can bond with.
Sit.
Chat...It's ok.
He (whispered) doesn't bite.
"Coffee Mayfair?"
"Sure... I'd love a cup- espresso of course- ha ha ha."
"Mayfair you really crack me up sometimes!"
"I know.. I know.. I could crush you if I wanted to ya know...but I would never do that. EVER!"
"I love you Mayfair."
"I love ya back buddy."
One of the most interesting, quite remarkable and UN- boring fragrance I've ever sniffed!
I'm sure some will complain because of the price point here but you really do get what you pay for.
Also... What ever happened to a good "haggle" now and then?
I got this for a super price (with $100 worth of samples) simply because I asked. Heh heh heh (that's my mob laugh)
But I digress..
Sample first. PLEASE??!!
The verdict : (from the Latin- "truth")
Scent- 9/10
Projection- this ones tricky 7-8.45377/10 -Weather :-/
Sillage: leaves a "Moses parts the Red Sea" wake... 9.5/10
Longevity- 8.5/10 (sometimes it borders eternal-Weather :-/)
Overall I have to give this a 8.9999/10
Or.....
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
