For me, this is most similar to Ungaro II, but that may be my skin chemistry. The animalic quality (civet and castoreum, I’d guess) dominates. It has a rich and natural quality (better than U2 for naturalness), but it’s thin on complexity (U2 is more complex) and there’s not much note separation. Some may call this a “dirty ashtray” smell, for those who do or don’t like that quality. I have bottles of similar ones, including U2, which I think I prefer, so if I eventually get around to sampling this a couple more times, I should be able to make a final decision about it. Projection (“sillage” is excellent. After a few hours, however, it really petered out, though this may be because I applied so little. At this point, a subtle musk with hints of wood, etc. emerged. Overall, I don’t find this complex enough to consider buying a bottle. It strikes me as somewhat amateurish, to be honest.
UPDATE: Smelled up close, you get a sense of the dry spicy/woody quality, with nice moss as counterbalance. The animalic element, which seems to be civet-dominated, is really strong, so for me thjis is just not balanced well, but for those who seek this construction, this may be one to buy. I would compare this to Joint for Men, which tones the animalics down a bit and includes a tobacco note, but it’s also very dry. Joint is much better balanced so I don’t see a need for this Pascal fragrance.

This is one potent fragrance. I would have to say the dirty jasmine competes with the intense spice for the first half of the scent’s life. There is a persistent and gorgeous mossy base for the duration, and that duration is at least 12 hours on my skin. I could swear there are some more floral notes in this juice, especially as this dries down. It ends being a very musky floral (heady jasmine). Worth the experience to try this juice. There is nothing else like it on the market. Did I mention this was potent?
