Viennese refined

Scentrack: Anton Karas - A Third Man Theme

Unlike Knize tailor shop Knize perfumery is still firmly going on. This is perfume of middle European well mannered gentlemen. Nothing explosive is here, every note is well polished. Leather with some oily aspect dominates from the opening. Warm amber, sandalwood and flowers and other notes are melted really nice.
One of the last old school scents playing double game. In one moment leather has some sweet fruity undertones (strawberry), in next it reminds me of oily mechanic's garage. Every modern perfume owes something to this legend. Maybe the famous gasoline note of Fahrenheit was inspired by Knize. Antaeus definitely has a role model in Knize Ten.
Moustaches, coffee, Sacher cake and Knize. A perfect Mittel European sunny weekend in old, imperial Vienna.

...but like it, too

As a homo, I don't really go in for the classic masculine thing. It’s just not queer enough. I’m more of a ‘cafeteria’ male. Whether I measure up or not, I’ll take what I like from masculinity and leave the rest. Femininity as well, for that matter. Gentlemanly, yes. Boorish, no. Sports, no, but also Broadway musicals, no. It gets confusing, yes?

But Knize Ten is pretty and strapping in equal measure. If this is what it is to be a man, sign me up.

I’ve finally found a socially acknowledged manly fragrance that I’ll buy into without reservation. (Well, current masculinity is bound to look a bit like dandy-drag on me, but at least it's not such bad theater as the whole-hog Ralph Lauren anglo-psychodrama.)

Wonderfully scottish

Good that, at the moment, I am looking after the home alone.
I have misappropriated the good Scottish Islay single-painting whiskey of my husband. This has made more fun secret.
The handle to the bottle had to be.
I love this whiskey since he tastes very earthily and still more smoky.
This was the transition to Knize Ten.

One is the smell for me with this whiskey. Actually a bottle should directly be hidden in the packing at every bottle of whiskey. And this pair has a leather box as packing. Yes, earth, much smoke and much leather, shows itself Knize Ten so. Much later completely shows himself easy, mild sweet one.
I love this composition and could put me in proverbially.
Not ladylike? I don't care.

Knize Ten

A very sophisticated leather.
Wearing this envokes the feeling of late 18th century to early 19th century atsitrocacy.
Imagine hunting fowl in the countryside or picnicking by a brook in late winter.

Starts out fresh and leathery and then develops into a vivid floral bouquet wrapped in a leather sheath that was laying in a spice pantry.
