Open Roger & Gallet for men

vintage scents, plastic part on top of the bottle and cap make OPEN look very cheap, citrus opened gone in 5 minutes and soapy smell call the back old days . Another nice scents for 30+ male.

what a composition is this!
soapy, lavender, sage , citrussy feel at the opening.
very lovely woody dry base, almost burned woody with lavender soap.
very refined
longevity is very good 8-10 hours
silage a good 6-8 hours

van gils classic, has the same smell, but is younger and more wearable

What I get here are flash backs of Antaues, Kiton and Havana. A great scent. It's like when I prepared French dinners and could smell the freshly cut sage and thyme on my hands for hours afterwards. Open is that burst of herbs. Very genuinly done. Amazing you can get 100 ml of it for 40 euro.

THIS is Different from the other usual scents out there, I don't see the comparisons to Quorum and such.

It definitely comes across as a more mature gentleman's cologne. To me it starts off as rather acrid but if given time it mellows out......a little.

Why a "little"?.........well it is still a rather DRY and herbal scent with some citrus thrown in.

It does have good longevity and you should not have to worry about wearing something that other gents at the party might be wearing.

یه ادکلن کلاسیک و آروم.که پخش بو و دوامش عالیه.نسبت به قیمتش فوق العاده رضایت بخشه.

If you're interested in trying this, get ready for a super DRY scent! Look at the notes: sage, thyme, vetiver, lemon, lavender. Wearing this could dehydrate you.

Although it's got great sillage and longevity (12+ hours), I don't find Open very powerful. It's light, herbal and very transparent, not rich or heavy at all. It smells like a soap scented with sage and cloves, and it has a great tart, woody drydown with the vetiver and tobacco in the base.

If you're a fan of stuff like Equipage or Jacomo de Jacomo, you'll probably really like Open. I love it.

MY RATING: 8.5/10

This is a master of woody scents. I bought this blind on first spray I wasn’t sure if this is for me. But I was wrong the woody and spicy notes started kicking in and I was happy that I got this EDT. It’s really for a man, very masculine, I don’t think this is retro this is all time fragrance. I still smell this after 10 hours.

My ratings out of 10-:

Longevity – 9.5
Scent -9.5
Silage 9

Overall 9.50

This is a great woody aromatic fragrance. The spices are really nice. This fragrance is not for everyone it’s kind of love or hate fragrance. I suggest try before you buy. The longevity is excellent, projection and silage is very good. Drydown is very nice. I am not sure if any one below 25 yrs will use it. But yes my score is 8.5/10

A retro soapy monster that definitely seems to get its inspiration from the 1970s. Very similar in my opinion to Sung Homme and Quorum in its unashamedly masculine dry down, and just as inexpensive to buy as either. I love it!!

One of my first colognes, long lasting and lingers on. Good

This is a very good EDT.
One of those you want to smell and smell and smell...
Roger & Gallet is an old house coming from 19 century. If someone knows something about perfumes, were them.
In our days is dificult to find because L'Oreal bought the company in 2008.
Sometimes it happens - a bunch of idiots comeout and buy a good company just because. They can do it, they do it.
They do it not to promote and continue the work but to kill all the work.
And everything ends just because...
I miss this very much.
It is possible to find but not like some years ago when it could be found anywhere.

Great old school fragrance very fresh and spicy. truly a classic. Highly complimented.
I give it 8 out of 10.

Used to have this ages ago - remember it was a pleasant scent - would like to get some more

I have "open" in my collection, It's a good scent .. but I don't want it to be attached to my character.
I didn't find it a long-lasting scent.

Yes I agree with previous reviews, it's a prestigious French perfume. I simply like it 9/10.

heavyyyyyyyy , but masculine and nice !

It was a big surprise for me to access the website today and have the grateful chance of seing Open added to Fragrantica.com.
This scent is made for active, dominant men.
Open was idealized for men who have "open mind" to the world and its passions.
Its fragrance is very powerful, refined and virile.
It remains in the skin for more than 6 hours with the same intensity.

Its coolness and, at the same time, its base notes make this perfume a true champion in the compliments category.

When I wear this one, I have the absolute certainty that I become the most confident and elegant man in the world.

And, of course, the best for the last: just a few people know it!

Filling the opening is Spices, Green, and Resinous woods, with a zesty Citrus background. When I first tried Open it was surprisingly potent to me, I was expecting it to be an Eau de Cologne strength. It is a full-bodied, sharp and rich EDT, with excellent sillage.

Moss, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Amber contribute to the scent's masculine soapy overtone that lingers throughout the heart and base notes. The soapiness is even present during the opening. There is a very light peppery sharpness in the background that lasts for the life of the scent.

This was my first Roger & Gallet fragrance and I was impressed. I find I am reaching for Open more and more as a regular daily spritz. Energizing. Very well done and long lasting.
