Autoportrait Olfactive Studio for women and men

First impression: I am quite impressed by this. It smells very modern and sophisticated. It goes on my skin softly and gets stronger and stay strong enough throughout my day. Just the way I like it. In a nutshell, it does smell a bit like a soft pensil shaving. It seems masculine, but there is something nice and fresh that soften and restrain it from being so manly. Nice touch of sweet freshness, lightly smokey wood, and pleasant musk.
Sure, it does smell familiar but I cannot exactly pinpoint what it smells like. Dsquared2 He Wood (without violet leafs) maybe? Anyway, I really enjoy this, and I still have more scents from this house to try to decide which is best for me. Problem, then, would be how and where I am gonna get one because it's not available in North America.

I decided to revisit this just because the sample was sitting in front of me and I honestly didn't remember the scent at all.

Awful awful awful smell! I totally agree with Sherapop on this one. Insignificant top notes and a pseudo-structure. None of these matter when they drown in that all consuming base. In fact that base is so familiar for another reason too. It has found a use mostly in room scents because it is so persistent and ambient and also so generic that almost anyone can relate to it on some level. To me it is the cloying smell of many clothes shops of unexceptional quality where it usually mixes with the smell of synthetic fibers and dust accumulating on the shelves.

Big disappointment from Lorson for whom I had a better opinion before I smelled this

I like this sort of scent, but I feel like you could find a nearly identical scent for half the price.

Unfortunately my first foray into the creations of Olfactive Studio was AUTOPORTRAIT, which features a base in near ubiquity these days. Most of what I smell smacks of what appears to be an aromachemical mixture (ambroxan + ? + iso-E-super) which someone at the big chemical companies has been successfully selling by the ton to perfumers at every stratum. It is very strong and overpowers all of the other notes present (here, incense).

I may be hyperosmic to this base, but the truth is that it makes all of the fragrances smell very similar to one another by the drydown. They may open up a bit differently, but the persistent quality is found in this base.

As a result, when I donned AUTOPORTRAIT, after only a few moments I was thinking of several recent masculine launches from both designer and niche houses, perhaps the closest of which was Balmain CARBONE. I'm sure that this smells good to people who have not yet become jaded by the scent, but it does not appeal very much to me.

Sickly, I wouldn't find this nice on a man or woman. Reminds me of newly washed clothes that haven't been dried or aired properly. Incense quite prevalent but smells a bit synthetic. Stale laundry basket.

Typically masculine, simplistic and old school. Opens lemony-green with a woody backbone. There is a peppery element from the start that lasts quite a bit on skin and cannot attribute it to any of the given notes or a natural spice. Perhaps it is the overdose of synthetic wood that produces this effect. The overall impression is similar to several 80's aftershaves and I can't imagine anyone gaining any points for smelling like that. The final blow for me is that I find the aforementioned element physically nauseating.

Autoportrait is just a mediocre fragrance like a vagabond, wandering between some themes without clear direction. It reminds some of Gucci works as "alfarom" mentioned below. The quality is low as well; testing in a perfume shop you almost get nothing but close to skin. Nice longevity but poor sillage.

A COPY of Carbone by Balmain. And for this, thumbs totally down and SHAME for Olfactive Studio for copying and not creating something new (although it is the work of the same nose - Nathalie Lorson). But copying other fragrances refers to all frags by Olfactive Studio - I definitely prefer created originals.

Down with Olfactive Studio - they just copy perfumes of other brands, do rip-offs, do not create anything new and own. Total shame.

I have no respect to such companies.

Again another copy done by olfactive studio... 100% identical to Potion by Dsquared2. I don't see any difference between these two fragrances.

this is my favorite from this serie, it has a very nice drydown, very Gucci like.

Promising perfume pyramid, semi-disappointing execution. Autoportrait is an average modern woody-oriental which seats somewhere between Gucci Rush, Gucci Pour Homme I, Let Me Play The Lion and Celine Ellena's Un Parfum des Sens et Bois for The Different Company. Yet another minimalistic, transparent cedarwood/incense concoction that smells fine but it's overall forgettable. Weak.

Rating: 6/10

WOW! Just received this sample, went and bathed, dried and sprayed. WTF! I am enraptured.
That was an hour ago. If this lasts it's BOTTLE TIME!

So that was about 10 hours ago. I gave myself a 5th hour resquirt because the fragrance had become so soft and I wanted to hear it scream again. I put half on me and half on my fabric. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM So delicious still.

Next morning (15 hours) there is a whisper of lovely amber soap left. It smells clean and fresh but VERY close to my skin.

This is definitely more masculine than feminine - it has a lot of cedar. Very nice though, I won't get a full bottle but I will use up my sample on days when I'm feeling artsy and different. Somehow I picture myself painting while wearing this.

very good mix of tom of finland(%70) and montale greyland(%30).peppery and a litte bit cloying sweet.Pureblood niche...suitable for cold.it is on the feminen side

i like it :)))

Very peppery in the opening, then more quiet and woody.
Like Marc Jacob Bang.
