Dry down is far better with a more restrained and virile twist of leather and benzoin (and a fortunately moderate woody - pencil shavings - effect).

of the time a reformulation does not change anything but this is one of the rare cases where it really did change the fragrance. Applying on my skin I feel a boozy leather lavender scent which is incredible and If any lady smells u up close she will be seduced in seconds. try to get a sample first and wait until the dry down before you make your decision, if you want to spend a lot of money for a discontinued bottle. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I tested two: A bottling, which I bought in the souk and a sample, which I kindly received from User MichH (thanks again!This was so addictive to me; however eventually l got burnt out on this one and started collecting fragrances that were higher quality and more refined, so I slept on this one for a bit . In fact, when i asked for my GF opinion she had the same feeling: she asked if this was a new Le Male release, haha! As it dries down it becomes more aggressive, it becomes Oriental spicy in my nostrils that projects about 6 strokes intensely.

At the time my nose was not well trained but I could pick up the booziness, tonka and the woody notes . I'd still wear Le Male Le Parfum over this though, but if you want an alternative to that frag within the same ballpark, CH Prive is a solid choice. I think this cologne best suits bar/lounge type of enviroment and will do you wonders on a date night. This makes me wana wear laced boots instead of sneakers , jeans instead of sweatpants ,jacket instead of a hoodie and turn steering wheel with one hand. The hype on this is not real, smells like John Varvatos dark rebel with out the ass juice, and also smells like Salvator ferragamo uomo signature just less spicy or balsamic and, smells like Tom Ford ombré leather.Opens up with a nice sweetness from the whiskey, the cardamom and lavender give it a nice spiciness slightly reminiscent of YSL la nuit de l'homme, and the leather and benzoin in the base make the scent wear thicker and sticker overall. Maybe with time, it will grow on me (that happened many times before), and I will surely be testing it again, and again, and again. Whisky is way more sharper than Bourbons and maybe it will be way better if they added whisky notes. I find it more versatile than just using it for evening occasions, with a slightly more mature taste than a youthful one. It only gives a hint of the fragrance at a distance and then reveals itself when people are closer to you.

better to not over convince the doubters since this has not been over played like la nuit etc and wont be likely an ex's scent etc!It applies nicely across a large area and you can bring it a little bit closer if you want a precise application. I'm probably like the others on the comments below saying this was over-hyped and that there's nothing really special about this. It should be said here that some products from these fashion houses can be quite high quality and I also own some, but they are not brands where a blind purchase will always be the same positive.

I have a 150ml bottle from the year of production, and longevity and projection are excellent on my skin! OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, business, casual, holidays, vacations, romantic, dating, clubbing. This helped me a lot when I first started dating my girlfriend; not only was the scent one of the best for dates but it also has massive mass appeal. La nuit de l'Homme from YSL is kinda sorta in the same ballpark, though it lacks the booziness of CH Men Prive.Whether you're in a suit or riding gear, expect to turn heads 😏 my most complimented fragrance, but personally my 6th or 7th favorite of all time. Spicebomb is the more similar to this of the two, both are better composed, without the questionable parts. But casual and date night are perfect, and you could probably get away with wearing it to the office. Therefore its not recommended as an all day scent but moreso is best only for evening wear, and times when you are up close to people (it is very hard to choke people out with this, even if you overspray. I haven't seen it available at any online discounters since I've been wearing it the past few months.
