This was my daily driver for more than 20yrs. Was gifted a bottle in my late teens and wore it regularly until only just recently.

This receives all kinds of compliments, women love it, I love it. It's a mature(maybe even old fashioned), fresh, and clean scent. I never heard the barbershop thing until recently and I can totally understand why.

Good to wear year round from hanging w the boys, to the office, to taking your lady on a shopping date or out to brunch. Younger men may think it smells dated, I think it is mature and classic.

Would recommend

This is a classic and almost timeless scent. Masculine but not too overbearing. Great take on a fougere. But it does not seem to last very long on my skin. At first spray it is strong and then dies to a skin scent after 20-30 min. After about 4 hours it was hard to pick up on my skin.

equally as nice as Egoiste maybe alittle softer more floral and clean

Reminds me of PDM Perceval and a little like A&F fierce. Quality is on par with Perceval. I enjoy the way it smells quite a bit and projects and last of my skin, lasting 8 plus hours. Highly recommend.

I was sooo excited to try this! A mature scent suitable for the office and just about anywhere?! Sign me up! Unfortunately for me, the “old school barber” scent just doesn’t work. The memories evoked of visiting Harold’s Barbershop in early 1980s Toledo are great (I’m actually old school, old school LOL), but not something i want to smell like daily. It was an immediate “no” for wifey, who kinda has a say since she’s the one who’d be closest to me anyway. Modest sillage and projection and decent longevity with four sprays. It’s just business that we will have to agree to part ways. Oh well.
