Il Mondo di Odore

This 1965 release from Gres is still available......and still a good masculine scent. Do you like polite fragrances that lead with lavender? If the answer is yes, then you need to sample Gres Pour Homme. The fragrance is an understated fougere from opening to finish. There isn't a rude accord to be found. It's no secret that I gravitate toward impolite masculines frequently, but there's something to be said for having a subtle masculine in your arsenal. I find Gres PH to be a very pleasant wear. Gres opens with citrus, petitgrain and a dominant lavender note. This particular lavender isn't the harsh variety by any means. It's soft and transparent ; followed by an uncoventional woody heart that possesses a green halo. I don't get the florals or patchouli for that matter, but the rosewood and cedar with fern are lighthearted and harmonious. The anamalic leather, moss and tonka in the base are gentlemen as well. This is in keeping with the overall volume from...

It's unfortunate that Homme de Gres is not only discontinued, but that it's not well known. This found its way to the public in 1996 and is an edgy, herbal lemon oriented scent with woody undertones. This is a fresh take on herbaceousness. It's charm is being uncomplicated and being good at what it does...and that is being a terrific spring and summer herbal addition with acceptable sillage and longevity. I find it oddly comforting and energizing. Take the opportunity to sample this if you are able. You may find yourself logging onto payapl and pulling the trigger.
