Overall rating 7/10
Deroxczgym – :
Reviews here and elsewhere, including YouTube, variously describe Original and its predecessors (Body Care and Gentlemen, supposedly the same thing re-packaged) as reminiscent of 4711, Aqua di Parma, dry green florals from yesteryear, and barbershop muskiness.
I can’t see the connection with any of those descriptions. I confess, I only own the soap, but it registers as something vaguely like Versace’s Dreamer with a somewhat lime-like top note.
It’s nice, but nothing like I expected based on reviews. I’m a little disappointed, but it will get used for sure.
REG96 – :
A simple, sweet and powdery barbershop fragrance that’s not offensive in the least.
While all the listed notes above are probably in there to some degree, the strongest to my nose is an unlisted powdery coumarin (could be part of the amber accord, but very tonkabean-like). I’ll admit I’m fairly sensitive to this note, so it may or may not come across as strong to others.
Most of the initial citruses die quickly, although the lime has surprising tenacity. The mid-notes to dry down are mainly light spices over aromatic and powdery oakmoss/coumarin with some subtle woody notes way in the background.
The first 2-3 hours push out pretty far, so easy on the sprays to avoid choking in a cloud. After it calms down, it’s much more manageable through the day and longevity is easily 8 hrs. with very mild projection.
People who like the original Chanel Allure Homme or even YSL L’Homme may enjoy this as a cheaper alternative, although I’d say it has a slightly more mature, powdery barbershop feel than either.
This can be found cheap online.
Overall: 6-7/10
Orion Commander – :
I tested it today with my boyfriend, he found it a bit sharp, but I love it. It’s almost unisex, fresh but sweet at the same time. The sillage is OK, but the longevity is not enough to me. I might purchase a bottle of this in case I become bored with mainstrem female fragrances.
Requai – :
This smells totally unique to my nose but if I had to try and describe it I would say it was the fresher, beautiful bastard child of Caroline Herrera’s 212 Sexy for men and Versace’s The Dreamer.
Absolutely gorgeous frangrance, middling longevity, quite a sweet smelling fragrance but still manages to smell fresh and not in the slightest bit cloying as some sweeter fragrances can.
It’s a breath of fresh air and is one of my all time favourites next to Creed Millesime and Creed Virgin Island Water. At this price I literally bathe myself in it and it makes me smile all day long.
