When pupils know more than teachers...
Since I have both Stand In Omerta (SIO) bottle and Azzaro Pour Homme (APH) mini spray I've decided to compare the two of them. Thus, I've sprayed one on my left back hand and the other on the right one.... and you know what? At the beginning I can recognize something zesty and citrus in both, lemon I would guess, even if not mentioned in SIO. Then, both lavender, star anise, and fennel explode in a magical combination. I don't know if fennel in SIO is supposed to replace caraway in APH, fact is it works well together with other notes. Few minutes later, APH presents some flowery notes that flies around, the magnificent iris I think, whereas SIO goes straightforward to the masculine character made of vetiver. patchouli, and just a little bit of cardamom. But is right after half an hour that SIO makes its best... bitter drops of leather and oakmoss fell off the fragrance and surround you. Well, it is a pleasant bitterness in respect with the sweetness of APH, which sometimes I like, but oftentimes I dislike.
In my humble opinion, SIO is a modern version of APH, and even if not identical they are very similar. Sillage is good and longevity is above the expectation. I worn SIO this morning before going to office and I can still smell it, on both my skin and clothes.
Allow me to say "When pupils know more than teachers"!!!
