    In the 90s I worked in the mall and used to spray this one on whenever possible. I loved how sweet and woody it was. I was a poor college kid at the time and no way could I afford such an extravagant cologne. 37 years later I tracked down a bottle on eBay to see if it smelled the same as I remember. Unfortunately it turned bad and I was sorely disappointed. I then read an article about old vintage perfumes. The alcohol often goes bad in the spray release and in the plastic tubing, but usually you can give it a good 10-15 sprays to clear it all about. Eagerly I pumped the sprayer on my old IL bottle a good 10 times to see if it was the case. Well, it did smell a whole lot better. Its still the old sweet woody fragrance I remembered. The mossy and leather background layered against the sweet amber and carnation is there, this is what I remember liking about this fragrance. It was so different than any other colognes I knew of at the time. Although the pumping action did expel lot of old foul smelling alcohol, I still think the fragrance as turned a bit, as it smells a bit stale and muddy. Thats the risk of buying vintage perfumes, you never know the condition it’s in as a lot of them turn sharp as they age. Its nice to sometimes reminisce about an old favorite fragrance, you’re usually better off not looking back, and investing with a freshly packaged bottle of something new.

    I don’t get clear sandalwood like some others seem to think, but there is a light and dry woody quality, no doubt. However, for me this is a lighter and smoother version of Azzaro Pour Homme. It’s rich and natural smelling but if you find the anisic fougere type accord boring, as I do, then this might not work for you. Don’t expect a wallop of leather, vetiver, amber, or moss here. This is more of a a blend with the anisic fougere element front and center. I think I prefer Grigioperla to this one, but that’s due to better note separation. And I think I’d rather go with APH’s crudeness, actually, because of the better dynamism.

    A more refined version of Egoiste.
    Whereas Egoiste is quite rough and jagged, Il is much richer and smoother.

    IL is one great fragrance. I think it has been discontinued – which is a shame, because it was a very nice fragrance. Think of it as a precursor to Fierce or Montblanc Legend…even Armani Mania, to some degree.
