The smart choice.
I am not very open to write reviews as I do not own the gift of words but I received today this Bois Imperial, due to the hype around it and also because I am a BIG fan of Marc Antoine Barrois (specially B683 and also its Extrait) and a Quentin Bisch gruppy XDD so I could not help coming to Parfumo to share my happyness.
This fragrance might not be nothing new in modern perfumery but from the moment I opened the package received from Le Secret du Marais (wich by the way took less than 24h to get my order, send it and receive it) you perceive Essential Parfums is a smart brand. The package is simple but effective, made out of recycled material in a interesting way, making it simple,easy but most important CHEAP! yes CHEAP! That will let the money focused on what really matters....and what is it¿? THE PERFUME.
I see a clear connection with Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford.....yes Grey Vetiver and to be more accurate I would say EDP. I can tell a nice vetiver, not sweet, I would say dry......kinda smokey-mild.....but also reminds me of something I have smelled before.....what is it......beside Tom Fords....wow this is elegant......uhmmm......nice......what is it.......wich other fragrance I had that smell pretty close to this one.........DAMN!!!!!! ROJA DOVE VETIVER EDP!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS! Thats it!!!!
It is a simple, easy, not intrusive, long lasting, elegant and manly fragance that has an awesome price for 100ml (68€ with discount but 72€ in their own webpage) nice packaging......I can not expect more from the price paid. It is the smartest choice I have encountered in years of purchasing fragrances.
Many say that comes close to Ganymede, not to me. To my nose Ganymede is like B683 but brighter and lighter.
Very satisfied :)
EDIT: This is by far my most complimented fragrance in my huge collection. I gifted one to my brother who LOVES it and many friends of mine have asked about it.
Lovely...i will be purchasing a back up bottle just in case is reformulated haha!

I think I would eat some hazelnuts while I take coffe break
I received the other day a couple samples of Xerjoff fragances and one of them is this interesting Golden Dallah.
Im not good at all into figuring out notes blindly but this time I wanted to try. I hit 3 sprays on my hand and let my nose speak. Oh well I couldnt tell.......something citric.....something sweet.....oh wait.....wait.....that......i can recognise......cant be......I eat it everyday......is it hazelnut?it HAS TO be hazelnut!!!!So I went fast to Parfumo's website and checked if at least my nose was neither broken nor COVID affected.......MAN!!! it´s hazelnut!!!!!!! I felt so proud....... (sic) actually it is so clear that afterall I guess a child could tell.
Anyways..... besides that hazelnut I can smell coffe but not toasted seeds or morning coffe, to me smells like coffe with milk.....you know.....cafe au leit....and sugar or something sweet. Following these notes I took a look at % of men and women owning this perfume and it is clearly more loved by men than women wich actually schocked me.
After 10-15min of wearing the fragance, I can explain why man would prefer this perfume rather than women. Frankincense says HI! together with amber. Frankincense reminds me kinda of Amouage Interlude but obviously softer.....I also can tell a clear Amber note just like in Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac.
After a while Frankincense is there, coffe, amber and hazelnut is toned down.
It is clearly a gourmand fragance with that little incense detail that would make it lean on the masculine side but I think I would also fit a woman taste.
Seems to project well and it is lasting quite a while.

This is not Aventus, this is VIKING. Get over it.
After reading all this hate about Viking, I decided to give it a go and get a 50ml decant on Sharing Thread, if it has a Sauvage vibe can´t be really that awful.
The first sniff you get when you spray Viking its a citrus-pepper smell. It turns alittle sweet after that and you can start smelling that Sauvage kindathing. The fragrance then settles and lets a nice sweet, mild, Sauvage, barber cologne, bergamot, lemony mix come out.
It is a nice fragrance, that needs to settle to give its 100%.
It is not Aventus, it is VIKING. It is different, it is expensive, it is nice, it is pleasant. Needs a few wears to explore all details, but we know that nowadays we want everything here and now.If you are patient, you will like it.

Awesome classic scent sadly discontinued.
I´ve received a decant of Tom Fords Italian Cypress from 2010.
I really like it. It is similiar to Polo Green, but is not that strong. Don´t understand me wrong, this 2010 version is long lasting ,projects pretty good, but the scent is not that overwhelming as Polo Green was (dont know now)
It opens with a citrus,woody (somekind of incense?) leather, green scent,pine.... very nice. It evolves to a little sweeter scent and projects very good, lasts quite a few hours. After 8h i can still smell easily on clothes and wrist.
It is a mature scent, im not talking about age, im talking about confident, elegant.....a gentleman.

The batch scent. To birch or not to birch, that is the question :)
I guess nothing new will be added in this review, but i needed to play my part. I´ve been very interested in this scent since I heard about it.
Bought different batches and all of them have something particular.More pineapple, more fruitty, some are alittle smokey, others last alot, others few.
I like the smokey touch that gives I think the birch, wich I think was taken away on reformulations.
It is very masculine, pleasant, evolves pretty good and depending on the bach lasts and projects fair enough.
It is an awesome scent and like all blockbusters they will always make us talk.
I will always have Aventus on my collection for sure.
