Bowling Green (for men)

flannelman

Bowling Green may have been discontinued but it's still easy to find. This woody spicy fragrance opens very sharply with a blast of fresh citrus notes accompanied by juniper berries and a little hint of pimento which you will notice and wonder about if you haven't read the notes list before trying the perfume. The heart is spicy, and the transition to the middle notes is fairly smooth. Most noticeable for me are notes of nutmeg, lemon verbena and cardamom. Then, you are whisked off to a fragrant pine forest until the base notes start to establish themselves. There are still quite a few woody notes, albeit a bit more mellow: sandalwood, rosewood among others, backed up with classic notes of amber and patchouli. The drydown is delightful, and the longevity is great. A great fragrance, masculine and refined and definitely worth trying.

Very nice frag and very rare. Actually it's discontinued but you can catch it for a nice price on eBay. Absolutely straight in your face lemony beginning (like nothing else!), which changes during hours to woody, VERY masculine notes. I would call it a classic cologne-like scent for man but with it's own strong personality that makes it different from other ones. And the longevity is brilliant.
