From a sample: This only has one note listed, cistus, which comes from the same plant (rockrose) as labdanum, however, cistus is more woody, and less sweet ambery. Raw, but beautiful another scent that makes you think if medieval wooden buildings. Yet, it's very wearable, like a dark rich leather, with virtually no sweetness, only machismo.

Truly an underrated scent that is both elegant, refined yet everyday wearable. Might be missing the signature Iris note but, with the Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver & Musk you need not more to smell like a Gentleman. Dior Homme 2020 is blind buy worthy in my book.

Yesterday: I tried my sample of ELdO Rien and Rien Incense Intense
Having heard tale of how nuclear this stuff is I went easy, just one spray of the OG Rien. I wasn't that bad, and maybe half an hour later I thought I would be interesting to compare the two side by side.
BAD IDEA! Totally gassed myself out and had to take a shower!
As far as the scents, they are really very close to each other, but I guess the intense was more intense, to me, just too much.
The scent itself is not at all what I expected. It's an aldehydic leather, but the overall feeling I got was the smell of a musty old building. The smell of musty old carpets, but with a shimmering grape soda overtone.
I did actually like it, but you guys know I like those sorts of smells.
In the PM after letting my nose clear out, I went with a safe great leather, Gucci Guilty Absolute
Today to keep the Gucci Guilty roll going, the EdP, which is becoming one of my favorite feel good scents this fall.

I've always been interested in Allure.
Severely underrated cheapie. Not the best in performance but, for the $$$ it smells 5 times the price that I paid for it ($19.99US). Great masculine woody scent for the cooler weather ahead.
