This is my last purchase and I must say I love this one the most out of all others in my small collection. Is there anything similar to this one, either like a clone or something really similar like this? Not sure what note I love but it’s so good, so would like to explore and try something similar, with maybe even better performance.
hal649Unlogrere – :
Great scent! it quickly became my signature, the smell itself is unique, but it laks performance.. on my skin, in the coldest weather it last about 7 hours. The first 1 to 2 hours it radiates everywhere, it’s enormous! but after the 2nd hour mark it looses most of the power and becomes moderate or even close to skin for around 5 more hours.. Overall it’s an amazing smell with a disappointing performance.
oqp534Bessinepome – :
wayneharishun, my exemplar is rather strong. I think it depends on: a) skin, b) weather, c) production year.
anod07 – :
I agree with several of the reviews here. Phenomenal scent, it just lacks strength, complete lack of strength. Jeremy kind of hyped this and may have confused a lot of people. I think you get way more out the exclusive edition by D&G instead of this. Beautiful scent though, don’t be fooled by jemerys review. Save your cash for something that’s going to last longer than an hour..
Avetis – :
If it only had a better performace, It would be in my top 5 all time favorites. Cause the scent itself is just amazing. But a huge let down in performance. Still good for dates but I love to wear it outdoors when it’s cold but it’s weak and nobody notice it.
niggas – :
A More masculine and slightly darker la nuit de lomme with suede and booziness.
This is a real winner for sure and a great offering for men who thought la nuit de lomme was not masculine enough.
fair projection, good sillage and 6 to 7 hours longevity
A real winner and seductive one

I Never really considered buying this perfume. Tested it on my skin onetime just to see how it performs. After 4 hours in the office, I smelled something sweet and luxurious. Thought to myself that maybe it was someone who passed by. after a few minutes, i get to smell it again and realized I sprayed CH men prive on my skin. Bought it and have been my signature ever since. TO me its a sweet, bozzy scent that is really pleasing to my nose and to the people around me. One even complimented me that i smell delicious. As to my rating
Smell: 9/10
Longevity: 7/10 (Lasts 8 hours on me, on good days 12 hours)
Sillage: 8/10
Versatility: 6/10 I only use it inside the office and dates

I always have thought he might have stored some 2015 version to sell and now he is trying to affect customers choice even a bit. Or maybe its a bot!
that’s all my imagination can handle about someone that annoying!

Scentster – What on earth compels you to keep posting the same thing over and over and over… Very strange behavior indeed.
iwt204InsuffBooni – :
Being completely Honest with you guys, don’t believe the hype. Okay, everybody has seen great reviews about it, specially about how much girls love it. However, on my nose it smells cheap. Besides, why do you wear a fragrance, for compliments? Or, to self joy?
Reflect about that, before purchasing this based on reviews.
Demo1986 – :
The best part is the drydown the opening is not my style but in the drydown is very good but the original is better un my opinion.
alina_zaloznaya – :
@greuceanu
Of course this is nowhere near the hype and Jeremy is so wrong on this one. The original is still the best.
saha221 – :
Blind buy based on youtube reviews
Big mistake
Has a very unpleasent smell remunding me of the smell of cereal bugs eurygaster integriceps when are crushed.
Also some cheap bug killers sprays has a similar unpleasent scent.
This odour is part of the fragrance and is not lost during the perfume life.
Fortunately I bought this with Davidoff Silver Shadow and combining those 2 the unpleasent odour is canceled resulting a very nice scent.
Average performence both in sillage and longevity.
So I regret buying
Jeremy you are wrong with this one
Alishka17 – :
A nice, boozy scent. I get whiskey (lots of it), tonka, leather and cardamon. Sort of reminds me of JPG Le Male Essence De Parfum. Very nice indeed.
Longevity is moderate at around 4-6 hours. The scent projects well for the first hour or two but then settles to a skin scent.

haytan – :
I received it as a gift from my parents (originally it was supposed for my father but he already had another one). At the start, it appeared too posh, lush and mature to me (+ I tested in on my skin) but in a couple of hours the scent became so beatiful that I couldn’t help sniffing it. It is very long lasting (8+ hours) and the base is especially good.
I imagine it would suit quite well a guy from the Middle East or from North Africa… I’m seeing an oasis in the center of which there is a many-domed palace with a pool, palm trees, multiple pillows… Being worn by me, it makes me feel as if I were someone else but, I believe, when wearing this one I look more serious and high-status.
vladec7333 – :
I had a discount on this fragrance, so I purchased it for only 28$ 100ml.
Luckily, I guess, I got the 2016 formulation (batch: 60471). Longevity is 8+ hours and the projection is about average.
At the end of the day what’s matters is that my girlfriend loves it. 😉
I recommend!
timoss13 – :
A perfect fragrance for the leather jacket, bad-boy attitude kind of guy. Spicy, sweet leather with boozy undertones.
Simply put: One of the sexiest men fragrances on the market.
9/10
Nixpiestettit – :
Very interesting fragrance and this 1 is growing on me !
Prive opens up with a huge blast of whiskey that’s very smooth and boozy. I love whiskey so I really enjoyed it but if you dont like booze stay away from this 1. Once this dries down that loud opening calms down and I get some lavender making this airy but also the tonka takes over making this more sweet and smooth. This scent really surprised me with how different it is but also how good that whiskey note. To my nose this resembles whiskey more than pure malt.
Only downside is that on my skin I get a ton of whiskey so I have to limit this to going out type of occasions.
Performance is average as I get 4-6 hours with moderate projection. Also I need to note that this smells ok on skin but smells really nice in the air !
Overall rating—6.5 out of 10 ! Very unique and pleasant scent but after I finish my decant I won’t be purchasing this as I have other boozy scents I like better that are also more versatile
Кристина В. – :
Fresh, HUGE blast of whiskey and tonka bean at the start. Its like opening a 20 year old bottle of stout whiskey. Very strong opening.
Leather starts shining through, but the whiskey and tonka never stop. The leather simply mellows out the opening which is much needed. The lavender and very slight citrus comes through to make everything playful.
This is not only a “dark” winter frag….this is also a playful, “dark” winter frag. This is very different from your everyday heavy winter frags.
Good stuff.
reenrySiged – :
★★★★ (4 / 5 stars)
2nd bottle – 2018 and still very strong.
8+ hours of performance.
A classy spicy blend of whiskey accords with black leather and tonka sweetness in the dry down.
Will appeal to fans of Spicebomb, Bvlgari Man in Black, and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute. Sweeter more playful Bentley Intense perhaps.
Highly recommended.

I have the first release batch, terrible sillage its not going to work in dead of winter.
alexs1234 – :
Amazing scent , weak performance.
incircava – :
I know I’m going against the grain here lol but I do dislike this fragrance. I honestly smell a cheaper less well blended version of dolce and gabanas the one. Every time I were this I get a short of D&G the one vibe but there’s that odd note I’m assuming whiskey and feels slightly obnoxious wearing this. Like I question if it bothers people also. And whenever I wear it I just wish I would have chosen D&G the one. Which has the same type of vibe but it’s very nicely done. Ch prove to me feels like a cheap knock off of the one. Just in smell.
sasha l – :
Not bad, reminds me of Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso and hints of YSL M7. CH Men has a nice fruity freshness to the dry down, this has a sweet heavy oud/leather base.
demos80 – :
This is a raw, rugged, masculine leather and bright whiskey. The sage, cardamom, and benzoin blend in quite nicely and give it some spiciness. But the leather and whiskey are most prominent. Thankfully, I do not get an old man vibe from this as I kind of thought I would, I’m impressed. Like a saddle leather or new car leather, the leather is smooth and luxurious. The whiskey is a bright, musky Kentucky bourbon. But it’s note isn’t as strong as you would think. But it’s still prominent. Imagine a cowboy. Drinking whiskey and spilling a little onto his stubble ridden face and wiping it off with his leather glove. Or a wealthy executive with a new leather chair or leather overcoat, sipping whiskey neat in his office. That is this scent. It is upscale, but it is also rugged and masculine. If Matthew McConaughey wore a fragrance while driving a Lincoln, this would be it. Or if John Wayne had to smell like something on a cattle drive, this too would be it. I also get a little barbershop feel too.. Not sure where it’s coming from, but it goes well with the fragrance. Definitely a very masculine and demanding fragrance. I haven’t worn it yet but I will update this review as soon as I do to touch on performance.
izotovpv – :
Jeremy Fragrance hyped this badboy for a reason, this fragrance is everything you want in a boozy, smokey, aromatic, mature scent. I like to wear this in the winter, hanging out with the fellas or going out on a date with a beautiful senorita.
bobby46 – :
Look at me bitches! This is how the fragrance opens up ..
Sexy boozy party wear fragrance
The leather and cardamom accords strikes really well.
Fades away a bit quick 🙁
Better if used in colder days.
mifannn – :
CH Men Privé. Hyped over the internets, and for a good reason, that’s very, very boozy, I might drink my bottle soon.
Seriously, it’s dark boozy, you’ll get cardamome, leather, tonka bean and sweet, sweet benzoin, just a bit later.
The first time, I was put off by the booziness of it, not because I dont drink, maybe because I drink too much. Once again, more seriously, you have to like brown alcohol like whiskey and bourbon if you want to stand out that opening. But wow, when it opens a few minutes later, you’ll see it is much more subtle than it looks like at first.
Like I said, leather. Relaxing leather, sweet leather, tonka bean, lavender, smooooth leather.
First, it gets your attention, then, benzoin, thyme, sage, comes in. All of this is subtle but seems to be here for a reason. As a whole, it works. It’s a little bit loud, but it settles and then you have to approach just a bit to smell what it has to say.
It’s a demanding fragrance. It demands attention. Reactions are quite interesting. If people smells it from the bottle, it’s a “meh”, “too much”, or “I can only smell alcohol sorry”. But if you let it ages on your skin like good alcohol ages in barrels, people will smell something quite different.
Wear it for a date. It has presence. The benzoin in the back plays a smooth operator role. I love that note. It makes everything whole, believable, just with the addition of tonka bean, the fragrance is round, nothing’s out of place, it’s working for close encounters because the story that develops on the skin makes what’s coming next very promising. Tarragon. Yup I love this.
Thanks for reading my review!
hgf633Negeltzex – :
Nice night scent. It a bit louder at first. Whiskey and leather can be detected well in this. Longevity easily pass 7 hours and peoject so well. Can be unisex. One of the best in my collection.
photonposter – :
Don’t get the comparison with La Nuit or Black F at all.
To me, this leans towards a femimine scent for old ladies. My gf gave me weird looks after trying this in the airport duty free…
If you really like this scent, the positive thing I can say, is that lonegevity is great.
cemeh999 – :
Layered this with Bentley for Men Intense and… Whooooow!
They complement each other perfectly as in my opinion they both smell great but are incomplete by themselves.
CHMP lacks sillage and depth and quickly turns into a generic skin scent, whilst BFMI is absolutely deep and projects very well but it lacks sexiness as it’s a bit too static on its lovely woody notes.
I think the smokiness of CHMP is exactly what is missing to BFMI and the robustness of BFMI is exactly what is missing to CHMP, they work together perfectly!
Try to believe! 😉
lana_pa – :
glad someone mentioned The One…that’s what I get initially, grapefruit, sweet, a little booze/leather…very nice
vimax-74346703-vimax – :
It is a slightly boozy and more masculine version of YSL La Nuit De L’Homme, I honestly don’t get any leather from this but the cardamom and slightly citrusy soul they have in common makes them so close that… I won’t buy this unfortunately, as it would almost be a duplicate.
I have a full pre-reformulation bottle of La Nuit that already covers that category (sweet sexy date fragrance) and, even if I really love CH Men Privé, it currently doesn’t have a place on my shelf.
Hard to say which one I prefer. La Nuit is a bit deeper and smoother, this is slightly harsher and more masculine. Both absolutely lovely.
Since the reformulation of La Nuit has a shamefully poor performance, CH Men Privé will surely replace it when my bottle finishes, but I think that will take ages…
everittaer – :
This one has an excellent smokey leather note. The herbal accord and citruses keep it light while to my nose, tonka sweetens it up and the blend almost takes on a carbonated cola vibe. That said, accented and blended well, the leather is the star. I dont get a lot of the whiskey notes. I agree with the reviewers below who suggest James Bond might wear CH men prive. Not Connery or Moore, but Craig. Like James, Ch men prive is modern, a bit rugged and humble enough to be every man. At the same time its rich, sophisticated and seductive enough to be THE man. A blind buy worthy of its reputation.
s.ov.2011 – :
my like for this one change the 2nd time i smelled it. it smell too boozy and alcoholic. people will mistakenly thinking you are drunk. i mean who does want to smell like an alcohol? i don’t. 4/10
KALIHA – :
A decent fragrance, but something just didn’t quite work for me midway through my wearing. I think it’s because Prive doesn’t quite know what it wants to be? On the one hand the opening is great and really leads me to thinking it’s a classy, niche type affair, however when it dries down a little it’s right on the edge of one of those murky, confused compositions I’m so quick to critique. It’s in a place between a sexy night scent like l’nuit, with its caradmom smoothness, and boozy opening screams I’m high class. Then the Tonka and vanilla I’m the base starts to muddy it slightly. It does also have a hint of 212 Men to it all the time just grounding it back in the designer, men’s sporty realm. Look…the fact that I have so much inane waffle to spout about it says that it’s an interesting fragrance and sure enough when it really settled I very much began to enjoy the drydown, with hints of resinous sweetness. It’s nice.
max-makar – :
One of the best fragrance for the modern man.
This a modern, spicy, boozy fragrance with sex appeal.
It smells smooth and has a dryer sheet vibe, like mont blanc individuel and Ferragamo F black.
There are similarities, but the quality is better and the bright whisky vibe keeps it not too dark, mature or too macho.
This is called the one night stand for a reason. This is For the standoffish man who knows what and maybe who he wants.
A better alternative to Spicebomb or Ferragamo F Black and even competes with YSL la nuit de lomme.
Alespen – :
The Best Date fragrance IMHO, I Thought it’s not long lasting but i was wondering that i got compliment after 5 hours.
I bought 150ml(2016 Batch) at the beginning then i bought 150ml(2016 Batch) and 50ml(2015 Batch) bottles as a back up.
I think they have changed the box in the mid of 2016. The vintage box has the black background behind the golden CH HC letters, and the size of the bottle is printed in golden letters down.
The new Box has a golden background behind CH HC letters, and the size of the bottle is craved not printed.
But the strange thing is that, i found in the duty free a 100ml box from 2017 batch has the same shape as the vintage box, in the other side a 100ml box from 2017 also has the new box shape.
Regarding the smell and longevity / performance: i have tried 2015, 2016,and 2017 and all of them are the same.
Antisatte – :
A successful blind buy!!! I bought this after seeing a few YouTube videos – especially Jeremy Frangrance ones in which CH Men Prive was featured favourably. So without knowing what it smelt like, I bought it for my husband and when it arrived in the mail he sprayed it on and after an hour the fragrance just smelt AMAZING!! The citrus notes actually smelt fresh and sweetened by the tonka bean in the opening notes and the whiskey and leather notes strong in the dry down. Definitely a leather jacket scent either day or night in the colder months. Love this one!!
stsden – :
CH Men Prive is the fragrance I imagine james bond would wear. It’s Boozy, sweet, confident and seductive. I realy like the opening of Ch Men Prive, Dry down is also good but opening is amazing and it has the same DNA of the original Ch Men but this one is more mature and serious than Ch Men. performance of Ch Men Prive is also good for a date fragrance and it lasts at least 6 hours on my skin which is fair.
Scent:9.5/10 (Ch Men is 10/10 for me)
longevity:7/10
sillage:7/10
overall:9/10
noaraf – :

hhhqqqtpoazx – :
Great performance (10 hours-plus) and a scent that is reminiscent on my skin of One Million Prive, but with whisky and leather instead of cinnamon, tobacco and myrrh. It is a deep and warm perfume with great longevity and sillage (better than Privee) and a crowd pleasing one.
Marimme – :
It is a warm and spicy scent which I would say is crowd-pleasing. I cannot imagine anyone disliking it for its smell but there might be some people who might say that this is nothing new or unique as it can be placed in the same category as Valentino Uomo, Dior Homme and Rochas Man (all of them are sweet and yummy). It would do the work perfectly on a date, in class/school or when you are just chilling with your friends but I would not have it on me for a more serious occasion like a meeting or conference due to its sweet/boozy nature. Definitely a winter/autumn scent.
Scent: 8.5/10
Longevity: 10/10
Projection: 7/10
buywowgoldiuz – :
Smell: 10/10 I love the sensual sweetness in here, the scent is a thing of beauty! Starts with a sweet oriental smell with a touch of citrus, and ends with a soft leather note. I dont get much whiskey actually.
Performance: 8/10 The performance is actually good and surprising for a date fragrance of this type, i get a solid 6 hours of longevity and 1 and a half hour of alluring projection, and great silage!
Presentation: 10/10 CH nailed it with the bottle! I love the simplicity of it, and i loved the black and white contrats of the bottle. Also love playing around with the cap and opening it by swinging my arm feels badass!
Versatility: 9/10 Great for fall, winter and early spring, great for office and school! But for occasions its less versatilite, for dates this is perfect, for clubbing its too weak, and for formal its too sweet, but you could pull it off.
Compliments: 10/10 Women actually love it, and i got tons of compliments wearing this on dates!
Overall: 9.5/10 A great fragrance that could be even better if it was slightly tweaked.
xxxyach1982 – :
I have to admit that this one turned out to be sweeter than I had imagined. It’s not a bad thing because it is not overly sweet at all. Also the leather note is softer than I expected. To my nose the leather in Tuscan Leather is so much louder that I becomes a bit to animatic. But that’s me…
As far as performance this one makes me nuts. One day I can get 7-8h from it and the next day it’s gone after 3-4h. All in the same season and temperature. Weird!
123qqq – :
A wonderful masculine fragrance that gets you compliments when someone hugs you. I got a sample from 2016 .Today I sprayed 5 times on my neck and after two hours it’s a skin scent. I won’t buy a full bottle, because the performance is too bad. Watching out for a similar fragrance.

Wonderful “light/airy” leather scent. Contrary to the more common “deep/dark” leathers in a bottle.
Prominent notes in ascending order: leather, tonka, cardamom, wood, lavender. Nice balance between them all.
I strongly disagree on the whiskey note. Zero whiskey here. And I’m saying this as someone who is very sensitive to whiskey since it turns my stomach.
Now, performance and projection… Not good. This is a skin scent after 2 hours and a no-scent after 8 hours.

Yes this is a great leather jacket fragrance however imo I believe it’s a little overhyped….
I wore this numerous times over the past year and I only got a single compliment from an old lady at Walmart.

Whisky note drys down quite pleasantly after an hour to a nice relaxing sweet leather vanilla scent

live4488 – :
Is this an innovative perfume or imitately? At the first a bitter and carbonated scent is appreared. Something like whiskey. After 5 minute, grapfruit change the scent. I can imagine Bleu, by Chanel in this step. Then you can find another note after 15-20 minute, that is tonka. For me, Prive by CH after 20 minute is very similar to Armani Code, by Giorgio Armani. Prive doesn’t change after 15 minute and it is linear till fade out.
Prive is made after Armani Code, so it can imitate from this perfume (Maybe…)
عطر جالبی هست در مجموع. از چه نظر؛ در ادامه خدمتتون عرض میکنم. اولش که با بوی نسبتا تلخ و گاز دار شروع میشه. در واقع شروع ویسکی مانند داره. بعد از 5 دقیقه؛ گریپ فروت باعث میشه که بوی این عطر تا حدی شبیه به عطر بلو از برند شانل بشه. این رایحه ی بلو شانل مانند زیاد دوام نمیاره. بعد از حدود 15 دقیقه شما بطور محسوسی بوی تونکا رو احساس خواهید کرد. در اینجا عطر پرایو باز از نظر بویایی خیلی شبیه به عطر دیگه ای میشه (عطر آرمانی کد از برند جورجیو آرمانی) در واقع میشه گفت که عطر پرایو از برند کارولینا هررا بعد از حدود 20-15 دقیقه خود عطر آرمانی کد میشه! این شباهت بویایی دیگه تغییری نمیکنه و عطر تقریبا با همین رایحه ادامه پیدا میکنه و با همین بوی خطی خودش از این به بعد تا آخر کار ادامه پیدا میکنه.
نمیدونم علت شباهت این عطر به دو عطر یاد شده برای چیه. عطر پرایو کارولینا هررا از این دو عطر نام برده تقلید کرده؛ یا اینکه شباهت مربوطه کاملا اتفاقی هست. ولی در هر حال این عطر بعد از دو عطر مذکور وارد بازار شده و ممکنه از دو عطر فوق کمی در خلق رایحه اش الهام گرفته باشه. البته مدت زمان شباهت این عطر به بلو شانل خیلی کوتاهه ( در حد چند دقیقه و اصلا زیاد نیست). ولی مدت زمان شباهت این عطر به عطر آرمانی کد دیگه خیلی زیاده و شاید بشه گفت 85 در صد کل زمان این عطر بویی شبیه به آرمانی کد از برند جورجو آرمانی داره.

At first I didn’t like this scent, but I have grown to like it. I don’t love it though. Starts off sharp and boozy, after 30 mins it turns into a sweet, warming and inviting leathery spicy scent. About 2 hours in I get a similar dry down to the current formulation of La Nuit De L’homme with a sweet boozy touch. It lasts about 5-6 hours on me with average projection and sillage. Good for fall and winter. I do think it leans more mature, will suit guys aged 21 and up. Suits night outs, clubbing and casual wear. So far, only got a handful of compliments with this, although I rarely get compliments generally. I have a bottle from August 2015.

Scenster types this shit on every perfume, perhaps with the simple aim of luring people into goind and buying stuff from ebay where he or sb else is selling. Gtfo Scenster

This is one of the nicest fragrances I have.
I don’t use it a lot because it lacks performance. A shame.
It really does not make sense to buy an expensive fragrance and the get less than 40 minutes projection and 4~5 hours longevity, even if the scent is outstanding.
If you don’t mind about the weak perfomance, this is a must buy.
hakobyanarsen64 – :
I found this too synthetic to my nose.It tries to pull of that rum/pipe tobacco thing but its very synthetic. I would just get perry ellis M or 360 black and call it a day. Save some $$.May be headache inducing for some. Sillage is no beast and longevity if i remember was average(that was a 2016 bottle)
I like what its trying to pull off-dont get me wrong but it just doesnt smell high quality.
exviti – :
Stop expecting good performance. Manufacturers intentionally make weak colognes so they can sell their exclusive lines.
Devall – :
Dryer but boozyer than pure malt, so to put if you like pure malt but wished it could be less sweet or you like la nuit de lhomme but wished it was less spicyer i think this is the way to go.
50% pure malt 40% lanvin avant garde 10% ch men
Personally i wear this gladly in fall or spring, performance also nice

I get a ferragamo f black vibe, same sweet/bitter combination and some note similarity, if you like f black try this, and I don’t think it’s similar to 212 vip.

To those who concern about the reformulation
I own 2015 batch and have tried 2017 batch of my friend’s, and yes, smells awesome as you all know.
But for me, even 2015 batch doesn’t has an enormous peformance.
I don’t mean it’s weak, but it’s not so strong like versace eros, one million.
So I think people who say they got weak batch, it’s reformulated, expect too much…
Don’t worry about the reformulation, though it may not have an enormous performance, it’s the same performance even in 2015 batch.
batll – :
Ok I got a really strange experience with CH Men Prive.
Sometimes when I spray it on me, it’s not even projecting, and a very close to skin scent.
But today this evening, I sprayed it on the back of my wrist and it projects like crazy.
It’s the first time someone actually noticed it, I was wearing it. And it must be like on a distance of 2 meters…

I just tried this out and it smells incredible on a biting cold day. It was 3 degrees out and this has an inviting, warm, boozy scent to it that shines in these conditions when you come inside and want your lover near and dear to you. My girlfriend at the time gave it a thumbs up, and that’s good enough for me. I’m not yet sure how well it performs in 40-50 degree weather, but in the tried and true winter weather? It’s a champ. It doesn’t project well, but that’s OK, because it’s a welcoming fragrance to those around you.

I love this fragrance. It gets pretty sweet on me and the leather stays in the background depending on the weather. It last average on my about 5-6 hours so pretty good. I have to wear all black to work so it goes with the outfits

Black leather jacket, black denim jeans, black boots or shoes and CH Men Privé on your neck, and you are good to go. Ladies love this, however as people mention if you wear this out, bring an atomizer, cus it only lasts for 4-5 hours. Or spray your clothes!

This is one another fragrance that when start smelling beautiful in the dry down (don’t like its initial blast) runs out of its gas. Why C.H. perfumes last so short? i don’t have any answer but disappointment. And for the misleading lady killer fragrance part, i never ever got a single compliment with this as i do get with any batch of CH men.

In The First Smell , I Thought I Smelled DHI
Buy No , This Was Ch Men Prive
They Are Both In The “Woddy Leather” Category
For My Opinion , DHI iT’s More For Formal Events
And CH Prive It’s More Like .. Usual Night Out

It’s a good a fragrance! Sweet, sexy, leather but not overly doused w either it’s a very nice mixture. A gentleman’s cologne and a personal favorite of mine but imo it’s not a all around wear everywhere fragrance. Spray, walk, wear and decide yourself before u buy.

Not sure what year my 51871 batch is – but it’s irrelevant as this is the weakest fragrance I’ve ever encountered! It’s funny that I got it just one week after LIDG(E) which had become my no 1 poor performing frag.
Clearly from some of the comments below, I am not the only one who finds this has incredibly poor longevity..
Glad others are getting better performance from this joke and are eager to point that out – so if anyone wants a new bottle of this please feel free to contact me.

just got 2016 edition , must say its better than 2017 edition ! 2016 one lasts longer & smells slightly more crisp.

I’ve checked my bottle, batchcode is 51872 (year 2015) – performance is very solid, as I wrote earlier.

VictorL – mate, I always spray a scent on the back of my hand, a shirt and someone else before making up my mind. This stuff is so weak it is a joke. I am certain it is authentic, presentation, the retailer, the opening – all there. But when sprayed on the back of my hand – it’s gone within 30 minutes.
The scent is nice, a boozy
