Description
Launch & Profile
Released in 1985 by Roger & Gallet. It’s crafted around aromatic, herbal, and woody accords, aimed at maturity and boldness rather than ultra‑modern freshness.Fragrance Family & Style
Woody‑aromatic with spicy & herbal tones. Masculine, robust, and nostalgic. Feels like a blend of citrus freshness + smokier, heavier depth.Note Structure
Top notes: Lavender, Amalfi Lemon, Bergamot
Crisp citrus burst with lavender’s clean herbal edge.Heart (middle): Thyme, Sage
Herbal warmth, slightly medicinal or aromatic, lending depth and character.Base notes: Tobacco, Vetiver, Patchouli
Darker, smoky‑earthy woods and tobacco dominate the later phase, giving a strong, almost smoky leathery base.
Scent Evolution & Feel
On application: bright and sharp citrus (lemon + bergamot) and lavender give a clean, fresh herbal opening. As it settles, the thyme and sage bring in a green‑herbal texture. Then comes a shift: tobacco, vetiver, and patchouli emerge, adding smokiness, earthiness, and depth. The dry‑down is rich, somewhat bold, slightly soapy / incense‑like, with a masculine weight.Longevity & Projection
Lasts well overall; projection is strong in first hours (thanks to citrus, lavender) then becomes more intimate as the deeper notes settle. Good sillage in early to mid phases, then more skin‑close but still noticeable.Best Use / When It Shines
Cooler seasons especially (fall, winter) suit it well because the base notes have warmth and richness. Better for evening, social settings, or when you want to make an impression. Can be worn during the day if you prefer heavier scents, but might be too strong/bold in hot weather.Character & Vibe
Rugged elegance. Open gives off a confident, traditional masculine aura—not flashy, but respected. It’s vintage in nature: barbershop, smoky, herbal, with a character that many newer scents don’t replicate. Good if you enjoy classics or want something with personality.
