Edit: so for longevity it lasted on my skin about 5 hrs before it turned into a skin scent. If not for it being on my clothes, it would have disappeared altogether. Tom Ford Private Blends have finally explicitly dipped into fougere territory, this time with the brand's own re-imagining of the formula, oakmoss being replaced with akigala wood, said by one source to be a enzymatic variation of patchouli.

B-612 reminded me of what niche perfumery generally is to "designer-heads" such as myself; natural, realistic, and creative. This is not sexy. It is not beast mode. It is a simple, high quality fragrance that you catch slight wisps of for 8+ hours that remind you that you are clean and interesting. Its aromatic, a bit balsamic, sweet undertone, creamy, super smooth and an incredible high quality natural smell. The name really even conveys the way this smells, and the Le Petit Prince story behind really giveS this Ethereal and innocent vibe to it. I originally had a review below that I'd edited a few times, but it was in jeopardy of becoming a wall of text (as this is about to be) if I continued to update it, so here are my thoughts after about six months experience with this fragrance. Firstly, I do not like or own YSL Libre, which is why I held off buying this fragrance. Sometimes, what one person smells is not what another person does. Having said this, I did blind buy this based on the notes of mandarin, Jasmine, cedar, cashmere wood, vanilla and bergamot, and I’m glad I did. I made the mistake of overlooking Fougère d'Argent & Fougère Platine when they first came out in 2018. By the time I was in the market for some more Tom Ford, Beau De Jour had just been released at the start of 2019, & I instantly went for the big bottle. Absolutely love it.

PLAĆANJE I ISPORUKA

Nishane as a brand is not for the faint of heart in my opinion. On me this lasts easily 8-12 hours with strong projection and I will still feel it the day after I have used it until I shower. And on clothes until you wash them… WOW RATING: 7/10. This is a good woody and spicy fragrance with a sweet touch, pleasant, good but not impressive.

Very high up in my "barbershop" Fougere collection. Very similar to, and right behind in my collection, Penhaligon Sartorial. Fougere D'Argent is closer to Sartorial in scent profile than to its Tom Ford cousin Beau de Jour. Beau de Jour is #1 in my collection, but they are different enough to not be redundant in a collection. D'Argent is closer to a traditional Fougere to me than Beau de Jour, probably with more sweetness than a classical Fougere. Guess they swapped out the traditional Fougere B-612 is ethereal green, but becomes much softer over time due to different woods and the everlasting "shady" lavender. This lavender is always present when the nose allows some distance to the action and then forms a part of barbershoppiness. The scent is a rather classic fougére scent with a distinct cedar note, which is something to keep in mind. Cedar and lavender go hand in hand and fit together quite well - the woods, patchouli and oakmoss do the darker work. B-612 looks coherently pine wood and exactly then it doesn't correspond to the idea of a relatively naked asteroid in space. The prince seems to have landed on Earth for a short time... I have been loving this fragrance since 2018. At the time when I received my first bottle as a gift, I had no idea what a fougere was and no preconceptions about perfumery in general. I simply thought it smelled very good, and so I wore it. Just about every day. It suits most occasions and it has a clean, hint of powdery smell. The plum is front and center, rose extremely smooth and ethereal. The sweetness at the end is very reserved, a little bitter and hardly worth mentioning. You shouldn't expect an oriental Sillage-Wummser here, but on the performance side he does quite well and stays on my skin all day long.I wore it the other day at work for the first time and I even got a few compliments from my coworkers! Fun fact: when I tested it for the first time I thought of it as a bit weak performer considering Extrait de Parfum concentration but I just think that after a while I don't feel it anymore but it seems everyone around me actually do! Revisiting my samples, both are fantastic & worth owning alongside BDJ. I love all 3 & to me, they each fit a mood, although they're entirely interchangeable to suit yours. All 3 are going to be general crowd-pleasers.

Anyway, this cologne starts with tuberose. This floral aroma will blow your mind away. Soon it mixes with peach and mandarin orange and creates a fantastic opening.

Because of how Tempfluo also behaves I urge you to not make the mistake to just smell it from the bottle or from a blotter as that will most certainly give off the wrong impression. Tempfluo needs to be tried out on your skin. This scent has been considered to be a tribute to the each “unique love” ever experienced on earth by the creative directors Murat Katran and Mert Guzel. In the novella we see that the prince’s love for his flower causes him much pain and heartbreak. The flower grows from a strange seed that somehow lands up on the prince’s planet. The first thing we learn about her is that she is beautiful. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” NISHANE’s objective has been to bring the smell of this flower that Little Prince is love with into reality. To be able to bring into existence this coquettish flower that has trouble expressing her love for the little prince and consequently drives him away, NISHANE had to refer to varying notes to underline the mood that is simultaneously vain and naïve. The flower informs the little prince of her love for him too late to persuade him to stay home and not to travel. Throughout the story, she occupies the prince’s thoughts and heart." - a note from the brand. VERSATILITY: 7/10. This is a relatively inoffensive fragrance, the woody and spicy accords are not harsh. Platine is more herbaceous & bracing, or "cooling". It's probably the hardest to quit sniffing of the 3. The blend is just fantastic & so soothing. A bit more "serious" than d'Argent, Platine strikes me as mature, confident & sexy... Perfect for the office, a date, or dinner Nishane Tempfluo with its funny name is really an interesting scent indeed. And quite lovely if you let it be.

Even if you haven’t smelled this 2019 release from the No Boundaries Collection, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about it. That’s how popular it is. People go seriously gaga for this stuff. DISLIKE RATING: 2/10. The spicy accords are noticeable; some people are likely to find them offensive. This is very beautiful. If you’re looking for a better made libre, without the astringent smell most designers have or the abhorrent lavender note, this is the perfume for you. This is remarkably well made, something that even untrained noses upon smelling this said that it “smells expensive”. I personally enjoy libre on others very much, there’s quite a bit more vanilla and you can't quite smell the astringent thing unless you’re wearing it yourself, and it has a beautiful scent bubble. This is better, stronger and more refined. All in all, this dna isn’t for me because it’s associated too closely to people I know and wear things like this exclusively (the same person that said this smells “expensive and like it costs billion upon billions of dollar to have it, and you still have much more to wear it”)

Statistics

This is a very Multifaceted unique perfume that is incredibly wearable and likeable, i give it a solid 4.4 Fragrantica stars. Love and signature scent worthy! Wish i had bought the 100ml but only found the 50ml.
