I would associate anything with too much oakmoss dated and candy sweet juvenile. This one has none of those. I think grandpa would rock Bogart Pour Homme instead. ESP is good for matured individuals and formal setting. Dry herbal opening with Encre Noire vetiver drydown. Has similar vibe as Fahrenheit Absolute, which I prefer more but unfortunately the seller doesn't have it. I like ESP and FA but I wouldn't pay retail for it. Moderate projection and good longevity on my skin.

I used to have Bogart PH before and quite like it but already sold it off.. I like the tobacco drydown, and this is crafted by mourice roucel smile.gif I think it gone thru reformulation coz I also didn't get the nuclear projection...

I would pay retail for FA... If it is slap with a niche brand, can sell higher price.

You bought it already? Where and how much? I see chocolate and patchouli. Does it smell like LIDGE? Wow, MJ rocked this.

SOTD - 24
Trying this today. Has that 80's vibe maybe due to Lavender and oak moss. Good projection and longevity on my skin.
*
I got it from my usual supplier, 100ml edp slightly less than 500 lo...

I should rephrase it this way, LIDGE is nth close to BO and BO is a class above LIDGE.

Projection - beast mode! Can't believe I use this word... 5hrs n still projects mildly, well I did 2sprays and no complaint from colleuges yet so far

Longevity - 10hrs

Scent - totally nth tat I ever smell of... very depth dark unisex oriental gourmand scent, quality top notch, should belong in the private blend line.. I smell fruity, blackcurrent, chocolate, floral, patchouli, woody all mixed together, u need to try it urself only can understand...

U will ge noticed for sure... I'm addicted to it, I can see my next purchase will likely to be a private blend

SOTD - Pure Havane

Trying this today. Smells like A*Men with a hint of Bogart Pour Homme without the tar note and oak moss.

Sniffed Eros again just now. Confirmed generic boring scent.

Trying Chergui again for the 2nd time. Kinda like it now. Good projection maybe for the first 2 hrs on my skin.
*
hahah waiting for my Pure Malt to arrive smile.gif

SOTD - Sean John tak boleh dimaafkan

Eros confirm is very boring tonka scent to my nose.... im saving up now for the following, after being raped by black orchid
- Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan (closest thing to TOM FORD Private Blend of Amber Absolute)
- PAPHI (close resemble of TOM FORD Noir, except weaker projection)
- Les Exclusifs de Chanel Coromandel (one of the highly rated from the line)
- Chanel Egoiste (Before i jump into Bois des Iles)
- Bond no 9 I love New York For All (I just love the whole process of Famous amos cookie making process, plus it is the cheapest bond)

Still waiting for my Ambre Sultan. Actually blind bought this based reviews that it might be "the one" for me.

Sprayed both PAPHI and TFN on my wrists recently. Both smelled very similar but TFN was stronger and lasted longer too.

I wanna get my nose on Aventus as well as it probably is the most hyped up frag from this house.

My SOTD is Pure Leather. Trying this today. One of bro Astroboy22 favorites. I get very strong leather note from this.
*
hmmm waiting for ur review on ambre sultan then smile.gif

as u say stronger n lasted longer, is it worth enough to pay double for TFN?

Aventus is overhyped.. but i must say.. it smell very nice smile.gif but then is it worth the price? IMO nope

Maybe not worth it. I could just spray PAPHI on shirt (juice's clear) or bring a decant for re-application. Moreover, it's not unique enough for the higher price tag since there's already a cheaper alternative. However, I would probably still get it if I see a tester at cheaper price.

Went to The Body Shop and tried Kistna, not bad for a citrus frag. Tried Arber thinking it was Amber. No, there's no amber. It's a bit sweet but not syrupy sweet. Not bad as well.

Went to an organic shop and to my surprise they have scented soaps. Bought the one with frankincense and myrrh just for fun. Doesn't smell like Fahrenheit Absolute though.

Wow that's interesting... you should try activist from Body shop.. it really smell like root beer smile.gif

Yay.. gotten my pure malt... what i can say about this gold star... Genius!! it is unique by its own... i love boozy fragrance.. had nice experience with dolcelisir and unforgivable... this is niche quality...

immediately i smell a strong whisky note with sweet berries smile.gif the whisky lean towards scotch single malt whisky which is my fav liquor...

this blew amen away! the drydown is just whisky amen without the tar... patchouli also been tone down in PM...

i can wear this everyday as my signature scent!!! another very satisfied blind buy from SN

For those who either like or hate amen, just go get pure malt, u will be surprised smile.gif
