Heely / Jogging Cologne Officinale
Superb old school herbal fougere. This is a colab with the Jogging shop in Marseille. Opens with the classic herbal combo of basil, lavender, rosemary, and sage. It adds a somewhat animailic raw soap note, which I personally love, it gives the fragrance a bit of weight, and excellent longevity, without loosing the herbal quality. But I some find it a bit off-putting, getting a cat-pee feeling from it. I don't get that at all, just the sort of buzzy aromatic feeling that the lye in soap can give. I find I actually like the modern versions of these kinds of scents more than the vintage I have. The top is still in tact, and there's a balance between light and heavy.
This is a bit more 'everyday' for me, and my other favorite, that just needs to be out there is Maria Candida Gentile's Gentile, which subs leather for the soap and has a very fancy date night vibe for me.

TBH.. it's a nice fragrance but a bit light for an EDP.
