KerPlaibianen – :
Vintage chypre.
It has big time oakmoss, lime, vetiver, neroli, jasmines, sandalwood, & roses within a slight powdery frame. It is quite vintage old school chypre type of fragrance. Fair
One more thing, I’m sorry but whose the smell deaf who compared this to “Yvresse (Champagne)” by Yves Saint Laurent? I mean are you serious?
Arnash – :
I agree with celina and only add that I smell some combination that adds up in my mind to cola or ginger ale or possibly root beer. It’s not the best association. I think this is because the ‘chypre’ nature of this scent is quite different. I would still use the appellation, but it has more of a growl and less of a pure tone than what I think of as being a classic chypre.

I simply cannot stop myself from wearing this.
It is so exquisitely, perfectly rendered that I feel instantly transported to Grasse.
VVVengerov – :
It starts woody- spicy- warm: moss, vetiver (less dry kind), sandalwood and well anchored by beeswax. There is a resinous feeling in this. After reading about the brazilian vetiver I can see where this unexpected note came from. It seems this type of vetiver is woody, resinous and aromatic. Quite interesting.
After 20 min the neroli and orris notes become more evident. The neroli brings its bitterish side and the orris is not powdery but green, leafy and woody. Other unexpected twist. I like this touch a lot.
The composition has roses, jasmine and carnations just enough to bring a feminine side. It takes more than 2 hours for these notes to become more powerful.
The top notes are hard to discern, probably they just add up to the initial illusion of floral notes.
Nice chypre floral, somehow too heavy for my nose. Probably too much vetiver. Maybe a different type of vetiver or other woody tone would have brought a better balance in this composition.
I like the dry down that feels more floral and less resinous.
Nice variation on a classic chypre, with a modern label.
