I really liked the perfume. The Guerlain DNA is quite noticeable: a powdery-sandalwood base with a vibrant citrus start. The longevity and sillage are quite impressive. Surprisingly, there is not much vetiver in a fragrance with such a name, but there is a lot of black pepper with a sharp, non-sweet tobacco note. Overall, it's magnificent and versatile.
Fresh summer. Super.
I am crazy about this fragrance. It has a vintage and rich tone. It's old-school. It starts with a strong herbaceousness, then transitions into intense cloves, which eventually blend into tobacco leaves. The leather-suede accord comes right before the base notes. It's self-willed and intolerant, a beauty! It represents an era!
This is a classic. And whoever says that it reminds them of cheap cologne simply doesn't understand elite perfumery (by the way, it used to be niche). The scent of Guerlain's vetiver is one of the pillars of high perfumery.
The fragrance is serious and captivating, not for noses accustomed to popular "fresh" scents. It is more suitable for hot summer days.
