You can guess what Montagne was inspired by. I haven't done a side by side, but some very serious folks told me very seriously that I should get the Montagne version. I also heard from @Aditya Choksi Velixir Icarus was another banger. I havent done a side by side, @Frank Barnett I think sent me a sample of the OG but I don't recall what it smelled like.

Ok guys I know this is a fake, but it was 45 bucks for a discontinued fragrance. I was feeling froggy so decided what the heck. Let’s see how this goes. Took maybe 2 weeks and just got it today. I have to say this presentation looks pretty legit. The QR code on it even went to the amouage website. Did a test spray and smells pretty close to what i remember, like a citrusy rose scent. I will further review it on a full wear, but I am pretty impressed by the quality of fakes now. Stay safe out there with your buys, if its this easy to get a high quality fake like this, you just never know nowadays. Also if we ever meet and I smell like a citrus rose, mind ya business. 🤣🤣🤣 Stay smelling great my brothers.

... I mean it's great that a new generation is getting into fragrances and all, but ...

I don’t usually like to post links to videos, I tend to prefer using this platform for written reviews and communications. But I saw this and it’s pretty funny and I wanted to share it. You might need to have Facebook though. Remember, the family that sprays together, stays together https://www.facebook.com/RenJones30s/videos/free-game-yall-can-thank-me-later-fragranceaddict-datinghumor-relationshiphumor-/1364007142017196/

This one’s from @Henry Clay , another home run from him. Pulling this out tonight to pair with a cigar. What’s interesting is the opening doesn’t even read as a tobacco fragrance at first, it comes across more like a dessert. Sweet, almost gourmand, with vanilla leading the charge before the tobacco settles in. The tobacco is there, just really well blended into the rest of it. There’s a faint sweetness running through the whole thing, plum wine most likely, that keeps it from ever feeling like a straightforward smoky tobacco scent. This is going to be perfect for a night with the cigar.
