This one is noticeably better than the blue fragrance from the same series. The sage comes through clearly, keeping the composition from seeming simple. A perfectly decent and interesting scent, though it's nowhere near truly original. It doesn't slide into mass-market banality

The perfume looks appealing, but it's clearly feminine. At first, citrus notes are felt, which quickly disappear, leaving behind a quiet floral sillage that sounds quite unusual, as if it's a fragrance for clothes. It reminds me of scents from Zara home diffusers - rich, beautiful, truly niche, I really like it. This fragrance seems made for young foreign grandmas 😁, but at the same time, it smells really cool and unusual, like Montale's fruity fragrances, only without the musky notes

Some kind of bitter, young grass. There's freshness, but it just screams! This isn't an oriental style, like Mancera, but something delicate, English. The fragrance is primitive, reminds me of Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme (like standing in a flower shop), but this one is softer and with added neroli. Linear, and hardly can be called masculine

I only found out here that this is a "women's" fragrance and was surprised. The "Diplomat" cologne from Russia costs mere pennies. Summer floral notes are more suitable for men. As for the women's version of Creed Aventus, it somewhat reminds me of those wet wipes they used to give on planes in the USSR. Creed and Zielinski & Rozen have several similar options. The fragrance is truly unusual

This scent reminds me a bit of sour beer or kvass. It has a light powdery note and floral accents. Although it's similar to Montale's oud perfumes, here the oud is very subtle and unobtrusive, and neroli adds softness (but you don't actually smell rose). Even in a closed space, like a car, it won't be suffocating. The fragrance is more suitable for men, but for people with refined taste - it's soft, but with character. It smells expensive, the sillage is pleasant in the wind, but unfortunately, it fades quickly. I'm already on my second intense bottle, but the regular colognes last longer )

I haven't smelled the black bottle version, but this scent reminds me of a mix of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue and Versace Pour Homme with grapefruit. Somewhere there's an aquatic note, somewhere a citrus one, but overall it's a bit sharp. In the drydown, maybe it's a little more interesting, but that doesn't save the situation. The smell is ordinary, cheap, like many other luxury perfumes that are a dime a dozen. Honestly, not impressive

I hear what sounds like woody oud, but not an oriental one, rather a delicate, European kind. It smells quite beautiful and masculine, although no citrus notes are felt. In winter, when it's frosty, the oud loses its richness and becomes somewhat glassy, even metallic, reminiscent of something "for shaving" It usually lasts quite well, but the sillage is practically non-existent - very close to the skin! By the way, I have a 2021 reformulation, and the hexagon is no longer there
