The NEW Phone Books here! The NEW Phone Books here! CARON L'ANARCHISTE

[SixCats]

Hi all,

I'll cut right to the chase. I just now applied my first ever (test) Sprays of my new (just arrived) CARON L'ANARCHISTE. My first thoughts/impressions ? OMG! Caron L'Anarchiste is one of THE most AWESOME Colognes I've owned in the last (nearly) twenty years! I can not believe how OUTSTANDING this Caron. LOL, I can't stop smelling my Wrist lol. There is just sooooo much going on with this Fragrance, so many layers/depth. This may be one of THE best "blind buys" I've ever purchased.

Glad to hear that you enjoy it!

Thanks hednic, I'm finding L'Anarchiste truly most excellent! I however admit, I was hoping for more "weirdness/Animalic" but, nevertheless, a unique Fragrance to be sure.

Caron is so underrated, I hope you try others. My all time fav for men is Third Man by Caron. It is just perfection

Hi Lian,

Oooh, I'm way ahead of you Lian. Caron L'Anarchiste is my forth bottle of Caron now in my collection. Aside from "L'Anarchiste" I own "3rd. Man", Caron Sport and (in my TOP TEN) "Yatagan". Caron, along with Lalique and perhaps Bogart have been my "go to" best bang for the Buck Houses. The one Caron I have not tried as I fear it might be TOO sweet for my taste is Caron Pour Homme.

Congratulations and enjoy!

A truly great buy, providing often inexpensively (actually in the case of most if not nearly all offline and online retailers of this fragrance) a luxurious, mature stylish quality level with a contemporary classic niche feel.

Hi Ken_,

Oooh thank you Sir Ken. I truly believe I've found a "winner" with this Caron. I soooo love it when I discover (albeit late to the Party) such a HIGH quality/unique Fragrance without having to pay "Niche" prices. In my World, discovering/finding such Fragrances is what makes this Hobby so much fun and so rewarding.

Well, you're certainly one of the most enthusiastic Basenoters.

The number of new scent purchases that inspire me to be that giddy has slowed, but still happens on occasion.

Glad you like it.

[thrilledchilled]

this scent should have earned an award for originality. It is even more startling from a traditional house like Caron. I love it.

Hi Sty,

Thanks Sty. Yes Sir. I's call's em as I's seez em! I've made many Fragrance purchases over the last couple of Months and (to my Nose) this Caron is by far one of the best Fragrances that I've purchased in a long time. I especially love the opening. Recently, (in addition to the Caron) I have purchased the following :

Lalique "Encre Noire" (and all the Flankers)
Lalique "Lion"
Guerlain "Vetiver"
Guerlain "Homme"
Guerlain "Imperial"
E. Zegna "UOMO"
Tabac
JV Dark Rebel
Gray Flannel
Nautica Voyage
Nautica Blue
CK ONE Shock
Bentley Intense
Worth Je Reviens (mini)
Dior Fahrenheit
(awaiting MARLOU "AMBILUX")
and.....a "special" Fragrance from my past I will post about (with Glee) once I have it in Hand.

After this, there are at least two more "Special" Fragrances I really want to (must) purchase (albeit a little pricey) but, after those two future purchases, I MUST cool my Jets! I just did a quick inventory and I now have well over one hundred Bottles of Cologne/Perfume/Aftershave/Attars/not including "Decants/Samples". Uggggh. F.A.D. anyone ?

Hi tc,

Agreed! This is one rather unique smelling Fragrance. I can't believe this one isn't more popular.

I want my money back. I clicked in here thinking it was a thread about Steve Martin.

Cook,

I did put in the Steve Martin (Jerk) link above. Just because, "I'm a wild and crazy Guy!"

It was perfumer William Frasees fave...he developed Caron Pour Homme Sport which is great and under- rated.

MM: You come from a very important family in fragrance history and you work for a beacon of French perfumery. Do you carry the weight of this heritage with you?

WF: I feel free. Making perfumes is my passion and a pleasure. I am free to create.

MM: Which is your favorite perfume from Caron?

WF: L'Anarchiste.

[Surfacing]

L'Anarchiste is unique fragrance. Glad the blind buy worked out for you SixCats.

I hope to wear this one more often in the near future.

Hi thrilled,

Excellent! Thank you for posting this link/quotes about William Frasees. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my new founded love for L'Anarchiste.

HI Surf,

Thank you Surf. I so like it when I can find a (new to me) Fragrance that is completely different/unique than the too many "run of the Mill" Fragrances.
I hope you do wear more often (and enjoy) L'Anarchiste. If I have any one criticism regarding L'Anarchiste, it would be I wish it had longer Legs.

Thanks to your thread I pulled out my bottle as my SOTD, longevity seems totally fine to me. It still smells of a wonderful slightly minty, slightly fruity freshness 6 hours after a light application. I have great luck with Caron in general and find all of them to perform above average even though I am generally light on the trigger.

EDIT: it's now about 8hrs since application and I'm getting lovely pipe tobacco vibes.

A very good frag. Bright and dark at the same time. Neither a classic-retro, nor modern or mainstream. It simply IS and that's it.

[mrcologneguy]

Is it still packaged in the distinctive copper-clad bottle?

Hi mrcologn,

Sadly, it is not in the old Copper Bottle. I wish I had purchased that bottle back in the day.

Hi Zgb,

Yes indeed, it is a very good (unique) Fragrance to be sure. I like your comment, "it simply IS and that's it."

Hi chop,

Fantastic chop! I'm happy to hear you are again using your L'ANARCHISTE and enjoying (with great longevity).
