What Fragrance Did You Use Today?

Sometimes all one wants is a simple but, effectively clean & fresh fragrance. One of Demachy's greatest creations. Yeah, it gets pooped on by a few for its performance or lack thereof (just spray more:unsure:) but, imo it epitomizes a cleanliness and freshness of class that very few fragrances today duplicate.

Master perfumery at the highest level with just 3 notes. Simplicity yet a genius creation.

Don’t know how the newer formulation holds up, but I got a ‘14 bottle and at least I could get whiffs for a full work day…and I didn’t spray any more than I would any of my other frags 🤷‍♂️

Great juice!
 
Olfactive Studio - Panorama
I’ve been waiting ages to get a sample of this. My next purchase is slated to be a fresh summer green, so this one was highly anticipated.
It claims to have a wasabi note, I absolutely love wasabi, and don’t get it here, but what I do get is a really fresh organic, green grass scent. Very nice, though not sure it’s going to dethrone Eau de Lierre though, this is arguably a more interesting frag. Let’s see how it develops!


The scent brief is a very cool concept, the perfumer gets a photo and tries to describe it in scent. IMO Panorama nails it!
Enjoying this more as the day goes on, 50 ml worthy for sure.

Quick follow up: Dry down went to a sweet floral musk, nothing wrong with it, it sort of makes sense for a warm weather scent, but not what I’m after, and a major right turn from that incredible green opening.
I’ll enjoy using the sample and see how I feel by then, but not in the running for a summer 2022 purchase now.

Damn. Off to the bay soon to see if it’s not jacked up in price.

Not necessary amigo. It's available right in the Ethos website. Here's a link to it.

Along the lines of Acqua di Parma Colonia but, a bit deeper & richer. More robust and masculine with a decent upkick in performance. Quite natural smelling as well.

Ooopss. Disregard my answer on this. I assumed you were referencing Ethos Colonia. I never looked at the image. My apologies. BR Metal Rain is similar to Creed's Silver Mountain Water. A bit more synthetic and not as natural smelling as SMW but, performs equally and perhaps slightly better in my experience. For the $$ outlay (Burlington discount retailer) of $19.99, it's a no brainer.

I’ve seen the $19.99 BR juice at that and other retailers. Definite no brainer even as blind buys
