I love this men’s classic barber shop fragrance. The dry down reveals a bit of spice. It definitely has the pine/ fir woodsy shaving cream “man’s” fragrance thing going on.

A lovely fir-scent. Fresh and classic. Sexy on a man. I thought I try it myself, but I guess it’s just a bit too masculine for me. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. Where I live, it’s for sale by the drugstore for just a few bucks.

This is a pretty decent fragrance, not Jules good, but its price is not Jules’ either. A solid soapy and green aldehydic opening that is unfortunately confined by the fragrance materials’ quality.
A Cuir De Russie wannabe that one smiles favorably at.
Overall the fragrance is of low quality, but its smell is pretty good. Give this chap some bucks and he’ll become your Bel Ami.
Chemical and addictive Caractere does have a character. A bit absent minded maybe (no money no focus) but it does try reaching unreachable (Derby) heights.
It fails but it is worth the try.

I found a small bottle in my parents cupboard, I think it’s probably over 20 years old, I remember it coming in a wooden box set with after shave and eau the toilette.
Very reluctant, i sprayed it and I have to admit that it’s very nice, definitely can’t smell leather (not as much as Dior Homme or Tom Ford’s tuscan leather) but very classic scent. It blows away all these anonymous scents of today.

Al though born late in the 80’s powerhouse era and Way less offensive than its partners Caractere opens quite aggressive animalistic and sharp. The spices kick in early and Will stay during the whole development of the trip.
What comes to mind at first is very spicy jasmin lemon soda then the cedarwood settles in to be the main character here. It s quite well balanced as you can detect amber and musk as the notes suggest. Even if listed patchouli and coconut are out of the equation. At least on my skin. The end is confortably sweeter and more Leathery. That s the part i Dig the most.
caractere is a very formal complex mature and even austere scent. One needs to find an occasion to wear it. The comparison with Chanel Antaeus is quite spot on especially in its animalistic notes although it doesn t shine like its old brother.
The longevity is way above moderate as people mentionned. Applied early morning it s still breathing late in the afternoon though sillage seems quite poor. Becomes a skin scent shortly after the brutal opening.
Price is around 10 euros for a 50ml bottle in Belgium which makes it worth trying. Deserve some room in your wardrobe

I don’t know why this is called a leather scent, as the leather is more of a mild background texture here. Up front is the fir, pepper, cedar, moss, and incense, and yet again we have a scent that blows the doors off of recent niche that tries to do the same kind of thing, but what we get are simplistic, overbearing compositions. The lavender here is obvious but blends into the other notes and acts to soften things up a bit, combined with the amber (and it doesn’t come across as soapy at all). If you are looking for a complex pine scent, this is one to try. Needless to say it smells natural, resinous, rich, and deep – the balance seems perfect too! Vintage Henry Cotton’s In Green has soapy lavender, by contrast, though I still think that one is excellent, with a more obvious incense note.
NOTE: I have a very old bottle and my guess, from reading some of the other reviews, is that the formula was cheapened to sell at a lower price point.

@Petrus : on dirait mon chéri… hahahahahahaha
Je lui avais acheté ce parfum dans les années 90 et il a fini en désodorisant dans les toilettes !!!
Voilà ce qu’il arrive quand, pour la fête des Pères, on est pris par le temps et on prend ce qui nous tombe sous la main… Je le regrette amèrement !!!
Mon Gilles chéri n’a jamais aimé ce parfum !! Il l’a porté une fois pour me faire plaisir et plus jamais !!!!
Depuis je me suis rattrapée !!! Du Cognac XO au matériel high tech’ !!!
Gilles je t’aime…..

Mauvais cuir.
Je possédais ce parfum il y a 20 ans… mon cauchemar. Un bien mauvais caractère que ce parfum là.
Senteur : 2/10. Que peut-on bien faire de ce parfum ? Il est mettable environ une fois par an, comme le suggère la photo de la publicité. Vous vous promenez au jardin du Luxembourg par un dimanche après-midi d’automne et tout à coup une rafale de vent emporte votre chapeau au loin, et votre sillage aussi… ce qui vous rend tout à coup Caractère plus supportable.
Sillage 0.5/2 Parce que lorsque ça sent mauvais vous ne voulez pas de sillage.
Longevité et évolution 0.5/6 Parce qu’il dure et empire sur sa durée
Masculinité 0/2 Un parfum de victime d’un vendeur peu scrupuleux ne fait pas de vous un homme.
TOTAL 3/20

Has anyone heard of midnight by Daniel hechter? Anyone try it? I’ve Been looking to try it for a while, but it is impossible to find? Thanks!

@MWill: as far as I know, it’s the aftershave that’s sold, not the EDT.

Another leather gone wrong! What a mess this is…
Some of my most beloved ingredients went into this bottle, but they didn’t make a nice fragrance that’s for sure.

As a resident of the Netherlands,
I can state that this fragrance is sold all over the country.
