Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance. This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance. Men’s Aftershave: Get a Paul Smith MAN 2 100ml aftershave lotion spray to get your new signature scent! I'm discovering a love-hate relationship with violet leaf. There's a tipping point right in the middle between sweet and dry compositions, and in the dry compositions violet leaf is a huge turn off, where is in those on the sweet side of the ledger - from just over the line (Azzaro Chrome United) to the moderately sweet (Mont Blanc Emblem) to the decidedly sweet (YSL L'Homme) I find it quite pleasant. I suppose that means I prefer it as more of a complementary note to sweeter components.

Not a bad move I suppose, because men will continue to buy these fragrances and I will continue to moan about them, inevitable really? Like the movement of the planets or the tides...this was set in motion long before I was around and it's sure to go on long after I'm gone. Design: Features a daringly bold scent like the signature stripes that decorate the sides of the bottle and the box. Essential by Paul Smith is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Essential was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Hamid Merati-Kashani. Top note is Ozonic notes; middle notes are Lavender, Rosemary, Orange and Sage; base notes are Cedar, Patchouli and Musk. I tried this years ago and despite being a real violet fan I've never taken to this or Paul Smith fragrances in general but I felt I should revisit it and make sure. I'm so happy I've found this lost treasure. I think it could be good for women as well since it is not strong or overwhelming.It is so cool, fresh and simple and not synthetic-like. I could smell it on me but unfortunately just does not seem to last for long or project far.

Sorry to be so down on this fragrance, I expect if it was a new release from an unknown house I wouldn't be so hard on it. I just expect someone as creative as Paul Smith to strive for more when associating his name with a fragrance. Paul Smith Men is a modern and subtle perfume with notes of woody, green and aromatic. The base note of vetiver gives the fragrance it's natural freshness. Features However, I don't get the comparison to Fahrenheit other than a similar violet note. This is much greener than Fahrenheit, brighter and more spring-like. Don't get me wrong, I love Fahrenheit, and it's also in my spring rotation. They're just different fragrances and for in my case for different occasions. Fahrenheit obviously is much more masculine and for men primarily IMO. Smith began lifting at fifteen, having grown up getting involved in boxing, athletics and even parkour. He has experience in weightlifting but began training for strongman at sixteen and entered his first novice contest a year later. He admits that he came away from that contest with a somewhat bruised ego and would train for sixteen months before his next contest. During this time, he played rugby and thought seriously about which sport to focus on, eventually settling on strongman.You can apply as much as you want without fear of over-applying, in fact you will need to. If you put a lot on it will last the entire day leaving you smelling fresh of the outdoors and soapy. Yes, the comparisons to fahrenheit are valid, this would be its strippped down counterpart, no leather and desiel here. I think of this as a sharper more herbal take on mugler cologne. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
