Oriflame Architect is inspired by modern design and futuristic vision, aiming at creative and successful men.Architect is a fragrance belonging to the aromatic fougere olfactory group with dominant woody and spicy notes and aromatic nuances. Perfumer of the composition Alexis Dadier wanted to genuinely represent a combination of modern technology and nature, inspired by Paris' famed Quai Branly Museum and its stunning herbal facade. He tried to reflect the character of the building, a complex balance of technology and plant life. The fragrance is gradually evolving and thus revealing all its layers one by one - woody notes illustrate the brown facade and the wall of the museum is symbolized with aromatic notes.

The composition opens with cardamom, lemon and blue hemlock. The heart is extremely woody with notes of sequoia, cedar and guaiac, placed on the base of patchouli, heather, vetiver and tobacco, creating a harmony that should enhance the vision of a modern man.

Urban and futuristic bottle design is signed by Dominique Perrault, the world renowned architect who designed Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. His international projects have been awarded many times.

It is available as 75 ml EDT with supporting collection of after shave lotion and deodorant. Architect was launched in 2011.

I love the smell of this - absolutely beautiful aroma. Once you factor in the price (I can pick it up for around £10) I genuinely think this is one of the best fragrances that I own.

Initially a strong, deep scent with a rich nuttiness, a faithful tobacco sweetness and some spiciness that projects very well. I LOVE the tobacco note - it's like opening a well maintained humidor full of fine cigars.

I don't have any problems with longevity. It does fade and settle down to the skin but takes a reasonable time to do so. Smells less rich at 4 hours. Still pretty good at 6 hours with that fine, smooth, sweet, tobacco smell and a little musk which still projects a little. Very close to the skin at 8 hours and detectable (but only just) beyond 10 hours on me.

Could easily wear this formally. Definitely suits cooler weather better than hot. I've tried a few Oriflame fragrances and they are better than I expected - this IMO is the best of the lot by some distance. I will definitely be buying this again even if I have to pay full price (about £20) for it - it will still be excellent value.

As i am an addicit of fragrances,
I just wanna say that this is an amazing frag.
I cann't discribe how good it is ,
it blends all the notes that i like,
and it reminds me of burberry london (due to guiac and tobacco) in which i like so much indeed.
Low price too .
this is ma style in frag. or ma fav. stuff , so that , u could know my taste as a refrence :
if u like (bvlgari man , narciso rodriguez for him ,
L'eau de issey original and intense , burberry london)
I think u would like this too.
I would like 2 give a special thanks to the perfumer

Fantastic. Typically blended with woody and tobacco notes. Reminds me Givenchy Very Irresistible Men. Drydown is very mush impressive.

reminds me of Rocabar in a weird way.not sure but i do smell leather or is it the tobacco confusing me here in this one.It's woody alright.can smell trace of vetiver as the notes calm down after the initial burst which I find quite sharp.It does mellow to a sweet soft lingering smell.the woody smell lasts throughout and blends with the tobacco-which is very prominent in this fragrance.If you dont like the smell of tobacco,please avoid.I dont smoke but i find this smell appealing.i guess am in a good mood.the lasting power is well above average and you will be sniffed only people might offensively think you reek of you-know-what
for the price i got mine i consider it a huge bargain.and it's surely for keeps.recommended as an evening wear and will suit the mature man.Bottle design is cool.had me fooled for a while as I kept trying to adjust it to sit in line with the base till I realised it was part of the design!

I received my bottle of Architect today from Oriflame.
This is a subtle and well blended EDT. Herbal and woodsy, with a bit of citrus and spice. The tobacco note is so well controlled and clean. Architect is a classic masculine fragrance that wears very well at the office, or out on the town. Clean and fresh from start to finish. No note over-shadows another, and the drydown is beautiful. Well done Oriflame!

It's an elegant,very masculine, woody-spicy fragrance for every day.
On my skin the drydown is very close to Cacharel Nemo which was also a great scent.
Anyone who remembers Nemo could like it.
The bottle has eyecatching,unique form. I will keep it to decorate my room with it.
