After a week of wear, I've decided that DCB is lighter, simpler, and easier to wear than Al Wisam Day, but also less interesting, and not nearly as charismatic. Where the Rasasi scent utilizes an interesting interplay between herbal, citrus, floral, and sandalwood tones, Armaf's settles for a quartet ensemble of thin citrus, dry tea, sweet (and vague) berry, and an aqueous musk in the far drydown. The whole thing is overbearingly fresh and high-pitched, so longevity and projection are difficult to gauge, but I definitely get at least four hours out of it (based on compliments received), and I suspect it carries a bit, as those compliments were proffered from several feet away. I may still wear this, but I won't be buying a second bottle of this stuff. If you're looking for a Silver Mountain Water alternative, you will be much more satisfied with Al-Wisam Day or Ajmal Silver Shade. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays, vacations, romantic, dating, clubbing. This is an office-friendly fragrance. Derby Club House smells nothing like Bois du Portugal in my opinion; zero, nodda, nil, zilch. BdP is my favorite Fall gentleman's fragrance and I keep a 250ml flacon in my scent armory - so I know Bois du Porgual. Anyway, I have had this fragrance on my skin for the past hour and I am not enjoying the experience. While it is not a terrible scent, this one is is a swing-and-a-miss (Strikeout!) IMO.

The bottle look elegent, no doubt about it. I dare to say this bottle look more beautiful compared to Terre de Hermes. Honestly, that day I went shopping with my wife to find a perfume that smell like Terre de Hermes but I don't want to spend RM300 for a bottle of perfume. In this economy, there's a lot of things you can buy with that RM300. It lead me to a small perfume shop in Plaza Alam Central, Shah Alam in Malaysia where we coincidently passed by. It sell a lot of Dubai perfumes that imitate most of popular & high end perfumes...with a bargain price that we cannot resist! The salesgirl is also very friendly & helpful. This is a nice clean scent, however, while clean and smooth, the opening, and the first half hour of wear, have an unnatural, almost pungently clean smell that reminds me of cleaning products. After 30 minutes to 1 hour however, or after it's exposed to heat, the scent changes DRASTICALLY! After that, it's smooth, clean, like freshly washed clothes in Tide detergent but cooler and more powdery, almost floral. When those powdery notes start to appear, THAT's where the scent really shines, and that's where the scent stays until it dissipates. It is up and running just in time for tennis fans as Wimbledon gets under way today. There are 16 TV screens inside, so plenty available for those hoping to watch British hopes Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray in action.

Who may Use

The drydown is a bit woody,creamy,bitter,green and musky and I get some -fruitiness,sandalwood,galbanum and musk. I definitely don't get any similarities between this and Bois du Portugal. And after smelling this, it's clear that this was probably never intended as a clone of Bois du Portugal either, but moreso that was just some misinterpretation (or misinformation) that people came up with.

In my opinion, a stronger floral note and less pungently clean opening would make this a very popular scent. For me, I'll wear this before bed, while cleaning, or possibly use it to spray my bed sheets or car with. That's by no means a terrible thing, if I didn't like it I wouldn't keep it, however it's not one that I'll wear out very often. Unless I'm heading to the car wash. On that occasion, I think this would be my first choice. UPDATE: To avoid the pungent opening, spray from further away to mist yourself rather than letting it saturate any one specific area. If you want a stronger smell, allow it to dry, then reapply, again, in a mist. The end result smells AWESOME! A new sports bar will open its doors in Derby city centre later this month. The opening date has been revealed for The Clubhouse, which will be run by Derby Brewing in the former Las Iguanas restaurant premises in Friar Gate. This is stout. Three sprays and you taste it. Two is too many. This is one of those rare one spray overkills! I notice it is too strong when sprayed on my shirt. New photos have given punters a first look inside a new sports bar now open in Derby city centre. Run by Derby Brewing, The Clubhouse opened in the former Las Iguanas restaurant premises in Friar Gate on Thursday, June 23.SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, daytime, nighttime, and climate-controlled environments. A fresh bottle of Silver Mountain Water has a very distinct complexity and depth to it, with this fruity and floral accord that swirls and mixes in and out of perception like the stirring of the clouds. When i first smelled this opening omy, just a ton of metallic 'stuff' i don't even know how to describe what that opening is but it isn't nice imo.
