Even the little noticed deserves attention
The brand S.T. Dupont was previously known to me only as a manufacturer of high-priced luxury items such as lighters, leather goods, accessories, writing utensils and watches.
Scents of this brand were unknown to me until recently. Here are 53 fragrances listed, but many of them are no longer available. And all in all the scents here fly a little under the radar.
Now one or two scents of S.T. Dupont came to my nose through a kind exchange of samples and I could see that these are really not bad or even very good
The company S. T. Dupont was founded by Simon Tissot-Dupont as early as 1872 and started producing high-quality briefcases for diplomats and wealthy businessmen. Already in 1884 it became a supplier for "Les Grands Magasins du Louvre". By the 1920s, the company already had 250 employees.
After a stagnation caused by the war and the poor availability of leather, the company switched to the production of lighters, which are still very popular today.
However, the production of leather goods could be resumed after the 2nd World War.
In the meantime, aristocrats and statesmen were also counted among the clientele.
Queen Elizabeth II received a S. T. Dupont briefcase as a gift from the then French President Vincent Auriol for her wedding in 1947 and has been a customer of the brand ever since.
Since 1998, the company has also offered perfumes that are or were distributed by Inter Parfums.
I have taken a closer look at the Signature for Men. And I liked the scent immediately Despite the quite numerous ingredients listed here in the fragrance pyramid, Signature for Men is a very pleasant and beautifully balanced fragrance that never becomes heavy or intrusive.
The attack is slightly citrusy, a little herbaceous and a nice fine spiciness is noticeable. No note pushes itself forward and a slight sweetness is added.
Woody and floral tones mix in quite quickly and I also notice a soft smoky note. One could almost think that some crumbs of tobacco have been added as well.
The base notes are actually almost noticeable from the beginning, the sweetness of benzoin, tonka and vanilla emerges very quickly, but does not make the fragrance unnecessarily heavy.
Despite the abundance of ingredients, Signature for Men does not appear overloaded or unrounded, but light-footed, bright and friendly.
The fragrance also has a good shelf life, I can perceive it for a good 8 hours. It does not spread an immense veil of scent, but it radiates quite well in the first hour
Among other things, Gucci Envy for Men is listed here as the fragrance twin. I cannot confirm this. Envy accompanied me for a long time until it was used up and unfortunately it was not to be found in the shops anymore. Envy is much darker, even herbaceous and heavier. But every nose decides differently, as we all know.
The flacon is also beautifully designed with the hinged lid and the angular shape. Thus it reminds of an inkwell or one of these noble lighters. A fine eye-catcher he is always.
Meanwhile, the fragrance has been around for 20 years, but is so timeless that it still works today.
Nevertheless, the scent is no longer produced. I suppose too little marketing led to too little attention. I also don't remember ever having seen scents of S.T. Dupont in the usual shops Some scents are a pity But recently a bottle has been in my possession and I am very happy about it.
I would like to thank Precious once again for the great fragrance experience and the big surprise!
