I really adore the scent of musk. It's such an interesting aroma, both clean and animalistic. Unfortunately I am asnomic, meaning I often find it difficult to smell certain moments in a fragrance's development, particularly when the musk note is dominant.

Narciso Rodriguez for Him is all about musk, at least in the early stages of the composition. I expected something masculine, fresh and clean, however the musk in this fragrance is surprisingly dirty and vegetal, in an interestingly good way.

When I first smelt this fragrance I took a step back, it was very new to me and so raw. I quite like its odd dirty greeness and heavy musk accords, and I think it would lack something if the perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, had gone for a more pleasant approach.

It's a love it or hate it fragrance, something that men will either adore or feel dirty wearing (in terms of assuming it encourages bad body odour). To my nose, Narciso Rodriguez for Him is animalistic, dry and dirty in a totally positive way. To be honest it's not something I'd probably buy for a loved one, but I wouldn't mind smelling this on a passer-by.

Unfortunately I was unable to smell the cucumber accord, so I won't be labelling this fragrance as anything even remotely refreshing. I did however enjoy the diverse drydown of smokey and smooth amber. It was unfortunate that this fragrance didn't last long enough for me to truly revel in this sudden twist in the composition.

For all musk cravings I still turn to Kiehl's Original Musk with its sexy dirtiness and unisex qualities, but I haven't dismissed Narciso Rodriguez for Him entirely.

How would you guyz mark this one in comparison to the weather?
It is more suitable for winter or summer in terms of better sillage and projection.

وقتی بو میکنید متوجه میشید که با یه بوی بسیار قوی، زیبا و یک طراحی قوی مواجهین .تلخی در بو واضح است. یک تلخی کمی زیاد و البته زیبا و شیک
اما
اما به نظرم این بو وقتی به مشام میرسه یاداور یک بوی مدرن و جدید نیست .گویا بو تکراریه برای شما و یاداور عطرهای قدیمی و البته خوبو قوی
به نظرم برای افرادحدودا زیر 28 سال خیلی مناسب نباشه

i think this is not a perfume for blind buy, when you come to perfume shop you need at least one hour to decide whether you must buy it or not.at my first sniff i felt strange about this perfume, to me the first scent smells like women's frag and unpleasant, after one hour the miracle comes! you will find something elegant like sweet woody aroma.after more than 6 hours, then scent seems to lose from my skin, but just like any other perfumes from Kurkdjian, people around me can smell it and they give me good compliment..

I have to echo the feelings of the last post stating that this fragrance is "grey and sad" because it is rather melancholy. Perfumes, the Guide says that this is "a well-made fragrance for "mean, forgettable people."

I don't really think it's for sad or angry folks, however this stuff does smell rather bleak (even though it's a very creative composition) for a lack of a better word. The violet leaf and wet concrete-like musk make me reminisce about lonely, sad times. Anyone else get this vibe?

I just wish I could wear it without feeling like the weather should be grey, rainy and cold. Again - a very good blend - it just triggers emotions.

I have again a bottle of this perfume, but this time I also have deodorant.
I can guarantee that this scent is absolutely excellent.
Its longevity is superb, and the projection, in conjunction with deodorant, is simply fantastic.
I love all the creations of Francis Kurkdjian.
Another important aspect for me is the uniqueness of this perfume.
I am again amazed by this fabulous Narciso Rodriguez.
Highly recommended.

I was hoping for a butchier version of the womans from the black bottle. No such luck. This is a chapped very masculine, almost rugged cowboy smell. I dont like it. Nothing smooth about it. I was looking for something to break me out of my clean and fresh mode and this was not it.

Nothing launched on the market until present days resembles at this Narciso For Him. It's unique!

A perfect marriage between amber and patchouli.(I think the leaves of violet is included).

This is not a daily fragrance,and your best use is in colder or winter night.
This is perfect for this seasons.

I do get a Tresor vibe from this fragrance. It may remind you of the 80's fougere perfumes for men, but to me it smells modern, and maybe even unisex. I get a lot from Tresor and Volare/Oriflame perfumes, but not as fruity-sweet: it may actually be your fragrance if your woman wears one of those fragrances, like a love that was meant to be.Anyway, extremely well blended, awesome sillage and lasting power, originality for a men's cologne and one of the few fragrances insisting on a theme of musks which one can actually smell( not like a lot of fragrances "claiming" to contain sensual musks that you cannot perceive).

I bought this when i was young and naive. I thought i liked it testing it in the shop but after a few wears i realised this is one big bland headache in a bottle.

The fragrance doesnt change much, it just remains this dark cloud of grey gloom. Eu de Gloom is what they should have called it.

با سلام
بسیار خوشبو، کلاسیک، جذاب، شیک و مردانه

از رایحه آن هـیچوقت سیر نمی شوم و دوست دارم رایحه آن را دائم استشمام کنم.
کاری بس ارجمند و گرامی که جزو بهـترین هـای دنیای عطر و ادکلن باقی خواهـند ماند.
در این بازار بوهـای عجیب و غریب و تکراری و مشابه بوی نارسیس رایحه ای نادر و تک میباشد.
از لحاظ رایحه دارای نت آروماتیک و فرح بخش بوده و خیلی پر انرژی و فرش میباشد البته به نظر بنده چون بیان و اظهار دقیق نت ها و روایح اصلی هر عطری جزو رازهای محرمانه هر شرکتی بوده و فرمول آن را و حتی نتهای اصلی آنرا بیان نمی نمایند این ادکلن هم بعد از بررسی متوجه شدم فقط از نعنای هندی و عنبر تشکیل نشده است و حتما از رایحه گل مریم و نرگس در رده نت های اصلی آن استفاده گردیده است ازاینرو میتوان با مراجعه به گلفروشی ها در فصل تابستان و رد بدو ورود رایحه گل مریم و عطر نارسیس خود را دریابید.

هنگام خواب هـم شیشه نارسیس را در دست گرفته و پس از اسپری نمودن بر روی بالشت خود از رایحه و عطر شادی آفرین آن سرمست شوید تا صبح که از بستر بر می خیزید با شادی و شادکامی روزتان را با احساس خوش زندگی نمایید
ناگفته نماند که استفاده از عطر و اسانس اسطخودوس یا لاواندر در هنگام خواب بر روی بالشت اثر آرامبخشی برای اعصاب و حتی رفع خرو پوف نیز بهمراه دارد

Not for everyone but true masculine and dark at that. Another one like this is Viktor & Rolf. If you like strong masculine musky fragrances like this, try some of these: Viktor & Rolf, Bijan, Fahrenheit, Paco Robanne, Grey Flannel, Opium, Antaeus, Pour homme by Balenciaga, Drakkar, Polo, Maxim's...Although some of these are oldies or forgotten, they are that strong musky 80's brooding classic smells from when fragrances used to be very masculine. Viktor & Rolf possibly being the most high end and closest to Narciso Rodriguez for him.

Please don't knock down a fragrance upon the first spray. You must wear it on skin and smell the different notes throughout the day as well as the mix with your own skin. Its very ignorant to be so negative. This is a great fragrance although not for everyone, you should form an opinion after a second time of wearing it as most fragrances. This fragrance grows on you, the initial first impression it gives is manipulative and only truly appreciated wearing it out a second time.

I think this fragrance is quite unique. It maybe smell like a old perfume on the first but it get interesting after few minutes. I dare not to say this is for older people cause i think everyone can wear it. Suitable if you want to make this as your signature notes cause it have a smell of its own

For him is an ode to the times when men fragrances used to evoke an atmosphere of power and masculinity - only and basically that. It's a modern take on those fragrances that were strong and powerful. NR for him actually relies on all these features and goes beyond, giving the wearer the same aura of power and masculinity but at the same time brings about some kind of dubiety so common in present fragrances.
Give it a try, even if it feels like the kind of fragrance you'd never wear. I have swapped 2 bottles, and know I seem to have found the right taste for it.

Took me 2 visits to the perfume store to finally buy it.

First try, I'm too young for it.
Second try, I absolutely love it's coolness and wetness, both in an extremely grey shade, especially during the cold weather in the fall(about 5-10C now)

According to a russian onlinestore(i'm currently residing in russia btw), NR For Him consists of, and i'm quoting this:

Violet leaves
Patchouli
Hypericum
Musk taken from the present Egyptian musk oil
Ambergris

This is perhaps one of the most enigmatic perfumes that I own. I agree with the reviewer below who commented this bottle could be used as a weapon! It is heavy, made of very thick glass, with an opaque inner chamber that protects the juice from light. Although the scent itself is rather murky, I would not necessarily call it a dark scent. More "mysterious" and "haunting"...

Many have compared it to Grey Flannel, or said it smelled like asphalt on a rainy day...I think maybe the bottle or presentation have elicited those comments. THIS smells nothing like Grey Flannel (other than some thick violet leaves). Wet asphalt?...Maybe, it has a subtle smoky, almost tarry, smell wrapped in a very "wet" somewhat thick juiciness. It is a true aromatic fougere in that it has that "ferny" green and leafy feeling at first, and a thick moist patch of violet leaves soaked in a white musky note. It is musky, but not exactly animalic. More of a clean, but slightly salty, man's skin musk type of scent. It definitely enhances your natural musk, instead of trying to cover it up...it magnifies and celebrates it, in a very elegant and refined way. The drydown of earthy patchouli and warm amber create something not quite oriental but amazingly sexy! I must add that it is looking like rain here today and the sky is overcast and the air is somewhat damp and thick...and NR For Him is shining. According to the Perfumer, they wanted to make a fern scent (fougere) that developed along three lines: woody, floral and ambery-around a musky heart. Francis Kurkdjian has done what he set out to do...and then some!! For Him is unlike any other manscent I own, wear or have tested; it's fresh (but NOT aquatic) warm (but not spicy) and very SEXY. It is one of those scents that makes you notice it, without overpowering you; and though, at first, it seems strange and somewhat alien-you realize it is not all that bizarre but more of a beautiful creature that though soft and sensitive is powerful and elegant. I cannot get enough of NR for Him, so it is a good thing I have the largest bottle made!

Sillage: Amazing
Longevity: Excellent
Overall: 4.5/5

Almost all of my perfumes are kept (away from light and heat) in a wooden armoire in an air-conditioned area. FOR HIM sits proudly on my dresser, and I must say that the more I wear it...the more I love it. I am one of those people who is not afraid to wear something a little "different", and NR for Him is definitely that. This scent always gets compliments and so far, no one has ever complained about it...just sniffed, sighed and said "Wow!". Need I say more?

I can not draw back, I talk about this perfume: the opening is grassy tones with wood, there is something astringent ... could be a flower patchouli and noble that I can give the name, a flower ghost emerges here and there to lull us with its fragrance, it seems to see hints of smoke but it is very special new grass takes over, the evolution continues to amaze; was a long time since I've heard of such a perfume proportions, I hope to receive the success it deserves.In at times reminds me of Eau pour Homme by Giorgio Armani, but they are only shades ...... Him by Narciso Rodriguez-
Kurkdjian is truly monstrous.

This goes on with a cologne blast; it smells like arid woods mingled with something sweet just shy of cloying (jasmine?). I guess it could either be experienced as sexy or feminine. I’m on the fence about it.

There is a bit of aridness that persists throughout, and I suppose that is the wet asphalt smell that others have mentioned, but it’s just not that prominent. It seems to be part of the sweet woods smell, and only in the beginning, when the scent sets into your skin do you smell it alone. I’ve smelled this as a transitory note in many other colognes, so I was really underwhelmed by it. What was more interesting was the brief appearance of the suntan lotion note! Anyways, for the first hour or so, it’s close, cool, and feels a bit too intimate for a work scent. As it dries down it becomes less powerful the arid woods scent takes hold.

Four hours in, it becomes the same-old same-old sweet musky smell. The projection is pretty constant at being strong enough (I can still smell it on myself without going to my wrists at 9 hours). The sweet musky smell alternates with a stronger, woodsy kind of musk, for a little variation.

On the whole, this scent strikes me as nothing special. It doesn’t make me feel anything except a little self-conscious; it doesn’t smell bad, but it doesn’t smell great; if anything, it smells like a hundred other musky colognes out there. It does have staying power, but that’s all it’s got.

I tried an oil version at Bloomingdale's and I didn't even knew there was an oil version. To me, yes, it does smell like mud; an expensive mud mask to be exact. It can be a turn-off at first, but you should let the fragrance play its part on your skin and see how others react because the longer I wear, the more I like it. It grabs attention.

I normally hate patchouli but the patchouli here is exception because it's clean and deep with something musky and incensey. I find it very enticing and very appealing; making me wanting more without feeling too herbal or medicinal at all. I also smell something like violet leaf, which provides so green freshness like cucumber. It's a edgy sexy manly scent. The price is quite hefty, but I got a decent deal online. The scent may not appeal to everyone, but it smells unique, lasts a long time and the bottle is beautiful. Not recommend to wear in summer time, but it's quite magical during colder season.

Such a happy and energetic odor!
Have you ever seen the cucumber shrub? There are lots of tiny delicious cucumbers hiding behind broad leaves...
This perfume smells exactly like that cucumbers, fresh but biting and pleasantly sharp!
I love it so much. It was a couple of mounts that I was looking for a strange perfume and I shot at point!
It's 3 hour after the time I sprayed it on my wrist. It's steel here strongly and stubbornly! More than cucumber it has some herbs and it must be patchouli that smells like cucumber but sharper and warmer.
It's smart and evokes young sexiness, young masculinity. You can wear it outdoor and in hot days. Not good in rainy weather, I suggest sunny!

this is my favourite scent.wont bother going into the notes but love it for its uniqueness and projection.hasnt got the smell of most fragrances around and yes,wearing something that you know is not being worn by everyone gives you a good feeling-at least i get that.I dont bother about compliments cos I dont need that to make me feel good so I go for scents that appeal to me and this one really does it.am waiting for my bottle of Encre Noire to compare the two.
I actually do feel sorry for those that hate this fragrance.the more haters there are,the better.Just let me know where u live so i can pass by you all the time and leave a trail of weird scent for u to sniff into unconsciousness.lol

On my skin:
Top: A dark, mossy, violet, woody, musk scent pops out. It is similar to Fahrenheit (almost 50%), but the only thing 'musking' around is the charcoal-like scent, and funny thing is, it also has that 'rocks-near-the-waterfall' type of scent, the damp, fresh rock scent. 5 hours.

Middle: The scent calms down to a sweet, flowery, subtle, type of scent, but the musk, violet, woody scent tones down. The charcoal like scent hangs around, but on the back ground. 5 hours.

Base: The tamer version of the middle notes. 2 hours.

I don't give a shit about when to use it (OK I lied, I will be careful with the trigger during the hot weather).

This is me in the bottle (OK i lied again, Opium pour homme is me in the bottle, this is the second me, no the third, second is Fahrenheit....ARGHHHHH can't decide!!). This, musky type of scent, it reminds me of Fahrenheit, only this is darker then it.

Fahrenheit and this are like SHAZAM and BLACK ADAM.
LOL

Complements across the board. So far, no hates XD.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 5 (unique).

Sillage: 5 (monster).

Time length: 5 (I don't even know how long it last actually, sometimes 8, sometimes 15, it just keeps going and going and going).

Occasion: 5 (I don't give a shit).

Overall base on mathematics: 5/5

Fuerte, con carácter, agresiva.

En mi piel dice “Estoy aquí”, y es lo suficientemente versátil para soportar cualquier salida de fin de semana.

Pensaba que no perduraba mucho en mi piel, pero con un par más de aplicaciones de lo habitual perdura todo el día sin problemas.

Diferente a lo habitual en el resto de personas, una original elección.

Wow, musk is right! The has to be the second dirtiest smell I've found. It's hard to wear, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Although I got alot of comments when I wore it, most of them were about how strong and musky it is.
I still love this smell, I think it wad pretty risky/genius to create something with so much punch, though I won't get it again, as I have olive skin and find it's really violent on my skin.

Longevity was fine, they say if a perfume is good quality the wearer can't smell it on themself. This applies with NR for men, the sillage adopts the amber and musk notes, the patchouli mixed with the musk isnthe initial punch in the face.

I Recommend you try on skin before you buy, the sample cards don't tell the same story

I have a friend who made this one his signature scent.
Some days ago he offered a dinner in his house to a group of friends in which I was and I had the opportunity to ask him to try this fragance on me.

The opening is floral almost feminin. It doesn't choke me however because it has some sort of deep in it. After about twenty minutes it gets woodsy in an interesting tone clearly masculin.
The problem is the same problem I found on him each time he is wearing it. Doesn't last long. The projection is good but it only gives 2 happy hours. After that the solution is reaply.
So... it is pleasant but as I don't like reaplys and as I have friend that wears it, I will pass on this one.

I really appreciate this scent despite its masculanity. Yes, it is a grey smell, not just the minimalist bottle itself, but the feeling, the 'aura' is grey too. But I like it.
The overture is almost sweet still very animalic , from the heavy mix of patchouli and amber, together they create a strange halloween darkness and dirtiness to the whole stuff. Violet leaf freshens the scent, wich is dancing around the musk.
This one is not for the good boys.
It's minimalist, still very sophisticated style (thanks to the genious Kurkdjian) brings you to the Western world. Seldom speaking tough guys with huge secrets..... This one is not a parfume, it is the skin of the masculanity.

The bottle is heavy and may be a good defense weapon. The scent itself looks like the color of the liquid: gray. Not necessary a bad thing, if you find the right place, the right weather and the right occasion, when it could be a great mysterious. But so far I didn’t. I’ve heard allusions to wet concrete smell, vomit (at basenotes.net), and other things. I didn’t detect the vomit note, and the idea of wet concrete attracts me, although I didn’t detect it either. In general, I like the idea of dark, smoky, gray sort of smells, but I didn’t find the right scent yet. Kenneth Cole Black could have got there, but whenever I wear KCB it always feels like if was dying before reach the beach. The same for Emporio Armani Night, and the drydown of Aramis Life. As for NR for Him something is very wrong. Maybe the absence of a cold note, a wet musk that should feel like if you were in a mysterious room next to an humid and rainy place, instead of a dry one full of ashes. I was thinking how it would be on Barrow, Alaska, on those 30 days of night, since here we have 39-40º of temperature, and 6% Relative humidity of air (a record), but still I think that it wouldn’t have credit enough.

This is weird. It smells like an old, forgotten cemetary overgrown and covered in moss. Its eerie and unnerving.

Its hard not to like something so strange that evokes such a powerful picture in my mind.

Unfortunately i cant wear it as it gives me a terrible headache. Im glad it exists though.

I have a really interesting "relatonship" with this fragrance. Some months ago when I was shopping in a dep.store I accidentally found this NR fragrance. The bottle was so inspiring, so I decided to give it a try and spray one to the paper. I smelled it and I was really unpleased. It had such a harsh smell, so I said this is the worst parfume on the world. BUT a few months later I decided to buy a small sample, although it was harsh that time too, it really captured my nose, my mind and my heart. Since than everytime I go to a dep.store I spray at least one on my wrist. I have to test it really carefully. I tried a lot of other perfumes as well, but somehow I always think that this is the one I'm going to buy. It is harsh, unique, edgy and you won't be unrecognised. This is the kind of perfume which is better for autumn and winter, because it is a bit heavy for the summer time. To put it in a nutshell, you shouldn't judge a perfume due to the first impression...

Hi.

Some people are really In love with this or really hate it!i wouldnt say i adore NR in my opeinion it is different kind of fragrance.Yes it is modern but with different style maybe because it is spanish!

Surprise at the begining in fact former smells NR are Strong and Sharp.Middle notes are the best part this one for me as it has a beautiful scent like a dream pn my skin.It is not a simple fragrance. Modern, Sophisticated,Masculine, Wonderful and a undeniable Seductive fragrance too.

The ladies adore this scent.It is not a Evereday scent.it is for all those individuals who seek to be different.i would also recommend this for a formal dinner in AUTUMN weather.Nonetheless i am not very impressed with it.

Sillage?Good.

Lonegvity?+ 5 hours on my skin.

7/10

Today I recived my sample of NR for Him.
It smells like a forest after a rain. Maybe the violet leaf envelops the fragrance in this aura.
I'm not good at describing a fragrance after the notes but this one smells divine and it shouts to you that it's full of richness and it abounds of classiness.
Definetly something that you can't forget very easy and a fragrance that to me have the power to bring back memoris from my childhood although this was released in 2007 and I never smelled it before. But who knows ? To be the violet leaf in this fragrance that makes all the difference ?

Full of surprises!! Starts with an aggressive smell and gradually releases it's musk and amber until it settles onto the skin to reveal an intensely sensual and mysterious smell.

Ah!!! This perfume is the one which is very difficult to describe. I am not getting exactly the notes of this fragrance. It is Dark, Mysterious, Aquatic fragrance maybe having the notes of precious sea salts, marine water and rock bottom sand. I don't know what i am talking about,but i must say that it is a very very unique fragrance perhaps not liked by everyone.
The longevity is moderate but the projection is weak.
Very nice heavy and elegant bottle with excellent packaging. Descent one!
One drawback is that the perfume doesn't go with it's price. It's very expensive one.
"I give it 8 out of 10" for its unique fragrance and great packaging.

This is an awesome fragrance, very very unique.
It is not easy to describe how it smells, some kinda sweety spicy musky, this is a thing that my medium-trained olfaction system is not enough to determine the notes.
As I smell the whole composition it smells so gr8.
A must have if u wanna be different.
Sexy and masculine.
And very strong!

This perfum is a very modern type of exoctic perfume. I give it 9/10.

It not the aggressive in your face type but it settles on your body like a silk coat.

the last few days has been raining a lot and the clouds were dark as the bottle. Every time it rains, I think of this beautiful fragrance. In hot days when the asphalts is hot and gets wet by the rain, then it has a wonderful smell which I really love. This fragrance has exactly the same smell!!
the bottle also has the same color as the asphalt.

I think you can use this fragrance year round. but in the summer time it´s better to use it when it rains, it´s just my opinion. But otherwise it is perfect for the evening because it is masculine, sexy and elegant and also has the dark smell which is perfect for the evening.

First thing that came to my mind trying it in a perfumery for the first time was FAHRENHEIT. The main violet note is so similar. Now when I have my own bottle I have to say I like that fragrance quite much. It's subtle, near to skin, elegant, seductive. Kurdkijan says it was inspired by the great fougeres of 80's. I agree. The main inspirations was of corse FAHRENHEIT. The main difference between them is the lack of the petrol note which we can find in FAHRENHEIT. And of course For Him has smaller sillage and is far moderner. But it's a great scent especially when you mind the time it was made to the public. And one thing: it is nowhere, I mean NOWHERE, near to Grey Flannel which I own and I knwo very well. Violets in GF are different. So I don't understand all that hum about similarity between FH and GF. Besides - GF was not one of the great fougeres of 80's....It was made in 1976.
Ach and the bottle....The bottle is realy beautiful, simple but with taste. And it's very heavy :-)

The Nose: Francis Kurkdjian.

For me Fleur D' Male & Le Male were his big mistakes... which he had overcome by creating this marvel Narciso Rodriguez, even Silver Shadow was also done very well by him... But amongst these 4 under my observation NR is the best yet modern, complex and sexiest fragrance.

Violet and musk are so well blended. NR has a dry affect but is quite suitable for a moist / cold weather. Lasting and silage are appropriate for the fragrance category of intimate / romantic wear.

NR is highly recommended for highly sophisticated.

I didn’t find any sort of resemblance b/w Grey Flannel (also in my top favs.) and Narciso Rodriguez; both are totally different worlds and inspiration never meant any ditto reproductions.

After 3 consecutive days of rain, I was in the mood for a sensual and elegant scent.

This is a modern and urban fragrance.

I was enjoying smelling the scent of clean sidewalk mixing with soft blend of the musk and patchouli notes from this fragrance as I walked to work.

Great fragrance for a nice cool wet day or romantic evening.

This scent is VERY sexy, I'd really love it on a man.

I thought it smells like ginseng and smoky green, which is very sophisticated and charismatic, almost chauvinistic in a way.

The drydown on paper was truly deceptive because it's surprisingly floral! It's a deep and comforting scent and I have to say I am totally in love.

To me, musk is a very dangerous component in fragrances although used commonly. If the musk in a fragrance stands out, then there is no point in wearing that fragrance. Musk will always be extremely dominant over all other notes and make the wearer feel dirty and others will think that you stink.

In this fragrance, musk does not overpower other notes for a couple of hours but ruins the drydown the moment it sets in.

I would recommend this to those that love musky drydowns.

When I was first introduce to this fragrance, I was not sure what I thought about it. Then I smelled it on someone and ask them what they were wearing, it was For Him, by Narcisco R. When I first put it on (although it does not contain these notes) it smell like cucumber & melon. After a couple of hours it blends into a lavender & amber scent with a hint of patchouli. I recommend this fragrance for those who are looking for something different and something not everyone will be have.

It is not 'simply pleasant' like modern men's fragrances, I've read that the composition was "inspired by the great fougere of 1980-tih".
It is musky-ambery, but the great portion of patchouly do not allow these velvety sweet and pleasant nuances to dominate the composition. The accord of patchouly, I feel it in the middle, makes it sharper and truly masculine. The violet leaf makes it radiant, fresher, sharper and elegant.

It's very interesting scent. After "for Her" version, which is very sexy and seductive, this perfume is something different... I have to test it more but first contact was with allot of expectations, that is problem sometimes.
