Noble vetiver/fougère style
Discovered by chance while shopping at a men's outfitter, tested and immediately bought, Vìllero inspires as a classic vetiver with subtle nuances that evoke memories of Fougère Royale, but is more finely elaborated by the white musk in the base, as well as grapefruit (Aventus borrowings).
A total surprise from an Italian brand unknown to me from the "Barolo" valley Langhe, as an extrait du parfum also with solid longevity and subtle sillage.
Perfect companion for business outfits. Rather unsuitable for casual or sporty use.

FRANCK MULLER's GENEVE olfactory complication
As soon as a busy Paris Fashion Week was finished, I had to pay homage to my muse of the olfactory arts again and accordingly a visit to Jovoy was on the program again.
A highly risky undertaking, as one always loses oneself as a perfume-monista hopelessly in this temple of sin of enticing olfactory fruits.
If originally only the etude of "Fragrance du Bois" perfumes was on the list, you simply can't resist the temptation to look for other, still unknown fragrances.
Invited by Valérie to the rear Séparée - how could I disagree with such an invitation - my astonished eyes saw a splendid golden display by Franck Muller Geneve!
Completely surprised that this Maître Horlogère now also has perfumes, they would of course have to be tested immediately.
The splendid bottle, with referencing lithography of the watches Manufacture F M G at hand, was first sprayed with the noble golden Test Cartonage and immediately a cloud of full-bodied cognacs, in which supposedly for weeks berries were inserted, beguiled the senses.
Immediately another spray on the wrist to test the kick on the skin. What a broadside from which one must first recover...
In order to process this impression for the first time, attention was initially focused on the nobly embossed test cartons, which were available in an elongated 5-panel display. Each of the five different fragrances had its own test card with the name of the fragrance imprinted on it.
Absolutely exemplary, in order to be able to still assign these after several tested smells!
After recovering from the first flash, we went into fine analysis.
Still dominant, the fruity berry component remains present throughout the entire wearing period and is finely integrated florally.
Slowly, the warm, balsamic ingredients make their presence felt and transform the perfume into an extremely animal scent, which probably helps it to its name. Bedded on leather, the different base notes play their lustful game, which lasts for hours and simply doesn't want to find an end.
Applied again early in the evening before going out, the fragrance was clearly perceptible the next morning.
Thus, the test and purchase of Conquistador was a real surprise and give the existence of F M G as a perfume brand its justification.
So Jovoy's visit was once again an olfactory trip on the highest level, which turned out to be expensive again, as I left this temple of sin with five new bottles and many rehearsals, which should fix you back on the next trip...
PS:
After leaving the store, I learned of the death of Charles Aznavour in a brasserie. A sad event which diminished my joy in the new perfumes on this day.
