Can't go wrong for $10
Myrurgia has been around for a million yrs so anytime I come across a fragrance from a legendary perfume house I always give it some thought. There's not too much to say about this one. It's a decent fruity citrusy offering that's on the synthetic side, which means it's worth every bit of the sawbuck I spent on it
This is part of Myrurgia's Yacht Man series and this is the only one I currently own but if I like this one enough I'll most likely check out some of the other releases.

Kenny would be proud
Cool masculine quite linear fragrance with the typical dreamy nuclear drydown. This looks really good on my dresser next to other heavyweights of the era but the thing is this is no heavyweight. There could be a few reasons why. Maybe my skin is too dry which I doubt, maybe the fragrance longevity is over hyped, which is possible or maybe the almost 41yr old bottle has seen better stronger days, which is the most likely reason. I guess I'll just have to get a couple more bottles to see. Lol
Versatile freshness
This to me has a Lapidus Pour Homme feel to it with a nod to those early 1990's aquatics with a sweet synthetic feel. I don't get the low ratings on this one but I'm certainly no expert, however it's not a bad fragrance all around and it's extremely metallic when first applied. As a matter of fact do not spray to close to the nose as a headache will soon appear. Keep it down to a dull roar and the fragrance will behave much more nicely. A total departure from the house's other masculine offering, the nuclear sized Giorgio for men. That said, this fragrance has been discontinued for quite some time but has a cool looking bottle going for it
The scent itself is highly synthetic and it'll take some time for it to calm down but when it does freshness abounds. I generally would not go for this type of fragrance but I'm a huge fan of Giorgio and I blind bought this bad boy and I'm not dissatisfied as a result. Not for everyone though so keep that in mind. Longevity is moderate to decent BTW
7/10

Vintage Gem
It seems like I'm always yapping about Vintage fragrances how great they are and this and that. The truth is that vintages are a cut above the fragrances currently saturating the market. Hawk is another example of the quality of fragrances from yesterday. 1981 wasn't exactly a century ago but it was 43 yrs ago and much has changed since then. I'm glad these older fragrances are still around and I wear them just about every chance I get. A masculine scent with decent longevity that can be quite expensive depending on the seller so it's a treat to own these bottles. Mennen is famous for the skin bracer name and Hawk isn't as well known as other popular drugstore fragrances like Brut or Hai Karate but certainly holds it's own against them.
Buying a Cologne shouldn't amount to taking out a mortgage so drugstore fragrances certainly have their place. This is only a casual scent that can be worn daily but I wouldn't wear it for formal occasions so keep that in mind is this fragrance generates your interest.

Cheap thrills!
It always brings a smile to my yap when a blind buy is outrageously successful. Case in point I just picked up a 4.2oz bottle of Moschino Uomo? Online for the everyday low low low price of $18! A most satisfying fragrance that has some nose catching notes inside and ends with an animalic finish. Now this contains Ambergris and I'm not sure of the quality. I mean Ambergris is thousands of dollars per piece and to include it in a fragrance that goes for under $20 it makes you wonder, but not wonder too much! Like I said this juice is banging and it reminds me of the Original Burberry for men. (1995). Longevity is impressive and I can't think of anything more important in a masculine fragrance BTW.
I've never ever owned anything from this brand but maybe this is the start of a new friendship
