I got this one as part of a trifecta of Michael Mulal fragrances. Two more of the Gent Scent collabs after the first one I got, Jet Black, was very wearable and well constructed scent. I will be sure to review the other two I got with this one that were two more of the Gent Scent Crossovers, but wanted to wear this one today as it matched the Friday vibes I wanted to go for. First off of the different variations of this citizen. Jack, I think this one is the one that spoke to me the most as the others had some notes that I was not as excited about like melon. This one opens with ginger and citrus opening that is quite nice and not overly in your face quite subtle in fact. There is an airiness to the fragrance that sort of gives off the feeling of the golden hour and wide open skies. Not sure if the name is shaping that or it's aptly named? Probably just a chicken egg /cart horse. My one knock on this one so far is that it is subtle and airy. I put on about four sprays a couple of hours ago and it's really sitting close to my skin or I'm nose blind. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you don't want to be beast mode intensity. Also, I tend to wear a lot ofElixe, Parfum and EDP concentrations and even fragrances like Spice Bomb can disappear into my skin at times. But if you do pick this up for a good price, a few extra sprays or some sprays on fabric might give it a bit more lift and push. I would say that the subtleness and pleasantness of the opening citrus and ginger is worth the top up especially in say an office setting where it might give a slight air of mystery and undeniable masculinity. Also, the vanilla and Tonka are not overly sweet. It's more the spicy vanilla, as I feel like there might even be a bit of cinnamon in there somewhere. Juniper berries can sometimes have a bit of a spicy horacious note as well, so the interplay between what is a very simple note breakdown is not groundbreaking, but quite pleasing. I don't know why, but it's giving me vibes of the now discontinued YSL L'Homme de Nuit Blue electric, probably that citrus and ginger open. I do admit though that that is just a nostalgia memory as I never scored a bottle and my samples of that fragrance are long gone at this point.

Picked this up fairly recently, and I’m absolutely loving it. Fresh, clean laundry type of smell. Like a classy soap at a five star hotel. Smells luxurious and clean! Seems like I get a compliment just about everytime I wear this. Wife approved as well! It’s hard to dislike this one. Longevity is actually really good for a clean, fresh fragrance. I get about 8-9 hours of good projection throughout the day.

Still cold in Central Florida so wearing something that I typically would not wear during the day. Angelique Noire by Guerlain is simply an elegant and sophisticated fragrance that wears very well on my skin. The opening is a semi-sweet herbal scent with some Musk coming from the Angelica and Pear notes. At 15 minutes the musk is becoming the more dominant scent along with some white floral notes. at 30 minutes I am starting to get some additional sweetness from the Angelica and Vanilla notes. It is a soft and creamy sweetness which is simply amazing. The drydown on this fragrance is simple, subtle, and elegant. There is a creamy sweetness coming from the Angelic and Vanilla but it is balanced by the woods. Performance: Projection is OK with the fragrance creating a scent bubble of about 18" for about 90 minutes. The Sillage is similar with a scent trail of about 2 feet for about 90 minutes as well. Longevity is OK with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 4 to 5 hours and becoming a skin scent at about 2.5 hours. This scent is 100% worth a re-spray because you get to enjoy the transition of the fragrance all over again. This moved Babycat out of my top 5 and took its place.

Wore Soleil Blanc today for the gym by special request. My girlfriend’s a big fan of anything tropical, and she practically insisted. From the first spray, it delivered: creamy coconut, soft white florals, and that radiant, sun-kissed warmth that feels like vacation skin after a day in the sun. It’s smooth, beachy. Honestly, I believe it smells better on her. However, it doesn’t hurt to make her happy. She had to endure some of the challenging fragrances in my collection. Longevity: Around 4 to 6 hours Sillage: Moderate, close and intimate but noticeable It’s easy to see why this one’s a go to comforting, tropical, and even better when someone you care about can’t get enough of it
