The closest I've seen to it in recent years is Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM Pour Homme (A Piece of Me), which presents a similarly glowing, orange amber. This is how Paloma Picasso's fragmented memories, in the morning after a febrile dream about a heroic antiquity smelled like. I was always intrigued by this fragrance and it wasn't really love at first sniff, but I was drawn into the whole packaging and the name Picasso sold it to me. There's nothing remotely stinky about it it's just a healthy masculine cloud that you can enjoy all day any season.

There is a note in the opening that tingles my nose and doesnt correspond with the other notes in balance. Again, test before purchase, but do give this one a chance if there's a half-god, half-beast lurking inside your soul somewhere. The difference is that APOM feels intentional and sort of forced--it wears conspicuously, with niche characteristics applied to what ought to be a designer perfume--while Minotaur seems more or less effortless--a quality release at ease in its era, and now something of a timeless cult-classic.None the less, this is definitely one of my favorites right now, and I can definitely see the differences to Sculpture. Overall, it's an alluring oriental reminiscent of certain olfactory trends of the 90's, however it avoids smelling dated due to the fact that it's a rather fresh, smooth composition, able to stand on its own as a quality release.

I would be curious to experience the original formulation, and can only recommend testing before purchase to make sure you really want to play in the Labyrinth that they have created here.What's strange, though, is I could have sworn I was blown away by this stuff when I tried it before, that it was exactly how I like my spiced woods to be done, but I may just be confusing it with Nemo. I also think that (due to the wide range of notes) this could be worn by a woman - in the same way Habit Rouge could. A substantial muskiness envelopes the amber, holding it down in the base and lending a sensual feeling to the scent. A nice woody oriental with a bit of fruit and some booze, almost like our friend Zino skipped his sour topnotes and then got drunk.

Our designer shoe sale offers plenty of inspiration with its sleek silhouettes, luxe textures and sparkling embellishments. Given the rarity of good fruity woody orientals, it's a decidedly good predecessor to YSL's L'Homme. I have wonderful memories of when I wore it, Minotaure met a few years before and started using it in 1995. So I spray it again after an hour, and top notes melt with heart notes from the previous spray, and finally that kills the frag. Sandalwood talc and tonka powder settle above the skin, shimmering for hours, both comforting and seductive, sexy Stardust indeed.

It´s very difficulty to describe Minotaure in words but it´s it to say that I loved and I find it the best one i have knoun. But we must consider what men's fragrances were like in 1992 -- Le Male and A*Men weren't around yet. I would recommend the newer version of this for other people, because it smells nice and I'm having a negative experience with the vintage bottle. Soapy aldehydes, florals, and sandalwood mixed with an accord that I swear Mugler copied exactly in Pure Malt- this fruity/vanilla slightly plasticky, boozy smell that is at the core of Minotaure.
