Rykiel Man by Sonia Rykiel is a fragrance for men. Rykiel Man was launched in 2004. The fragrance features sandalwood, musk, green leaves, pepper, vanilla, grapefruit, vetiver, bergamot and cardamom.
The opening reminds me of a something strange...soapy and light if that can describe it, a very distinct fragrance that i will grow to Love!!!
Fresh 12 hours. Expands seamlessly, fragrance is very unusual, playful, creates a magical aura of purity and serenity. (Soap notes, fresh, cool, green water,sinthetic notes...)
Rykiel Man -NOT FOR WOMEN!-
i sampled this today and wasn't very fond of it.
These are the notes that Sonia Rykiel .com says are in Rykiel Man:
Top: Citrus, Neroli, Green Tangerine, Sea Breeze
Heart: Rosemary, Nutmeg, Toscanol, Saffron
Base: Patchouli, Moss, Vanilla, Musk
Rykiel Man opens with a very rich Citrus and light Green accord, with Neroli backing it. Almost immediately the heart joins the lush opening with the spices Rosemary, Nutmeg, and Saffron. I can believe that the Toscanol is doing it's job here, as all the notes and accords it adds or enhances are indeed added or enhanced in this fragrance, and the longevity is better than most other scents I've tried that are similar to this.
There is a light Anisic-like note from the Toscanol that seems to stretch right down to the base and join the Musk, it's a very aromatic Muskiness. It is very sexy, but in a sublte way.
A touch of Vanilla from the base, not too much, adds to the very light sweetness that encompasses the whole scent. It's 'freshness' seems to be undying for hours. The base is Mossy and adds just a light Patchouli note that doesn't join with the sweet, it seems to accompany the spices and anise-like accord in the mix with it's pungency. The Patchouli is very well played in this, only noticeable if looked for.
Rykiel Man has become one of my favorite daytime scents and, because of it's sexiness, it can double as a night scent. The sillage and longevity are better than anything like it, it is lively, and it also doubles as a sexy romantic/intimate fragrance. There are not many 'Aquatic-like' scents, if any at all, that I could say that about.
In it's class I would have to call the sillage and longevity above average. It's the best aquatic alternative I've found so far.
