Fresh, airy (fig), bit fruity (orange), sweet opening (short-lived) Then the floral (ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose), spicy (cinnamon) immediately creeps in Great projection and sillage Fruity-Floral-Amber blend The fruitiness is just done right and the florals are not overwhelming and not too feminine-leaning.. definitely not headache-inducing Luxurious, Mature, Unisex fragrance Good for the office and best for evenings and private formal occasions Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, velvety, creamy, ambery, vanillic, still sweet and fruity, woody, bit incensy on dry down Iconic Xerjoff silhouette bottle, gray, glitter-flecked (they got rid of the velvet exterior); golden heavy cap; good atomizer Great longevity Very prominent for 3-4 hours and stays as a skin scent for 3-4 more hours Great overall performance I would highly recommend Ouverture ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensual-Seductive-Sophisticated This is not blind buy safe..

Today I’d like to give a shout out to @Nestor Lopez for sharing this decant of Guapo with me. I appreciate it Nestor. Now this fragrance caught me off guard because for some reason I thought this was one of the darker wintry offerings and it is not. Guapo is a musky, fresh spicy fragrance off of my skin which I think would shine in the spring and summer evenings. The ambroxan, white musk, vetiver and ambergris seem to be the stars of this fragrance. So far I’m not getting any tonka or apple. I’ll update this if any significant swings occur. So far I’m enjoying it but it definitely reminds me of something else. Not quite Sauvagish maybe more A&F fierce for men if there was such a thing.

acquired this sample on my saturday trip. and oh my stars am i in love. ive tried a lot of freshies before, i dont think very many come close to this one. definitely up there. opening notes are very bright and sparkly. think minty fresh mojito on a yacht. you get some citrus, mint, black currant, and a nice, soft, spicy edge with coriander. the middle notes are a very dominant, photorealistic and noticeable apricot, complimented by an herbal, floral slice of basil, carrot seed, and rose, before descending into a rich, fruity, musky base of fig and dates. this is ultimate vacation in a bottle. it’s bright, playful, yet mature with a sophisticated edge amongst the sweetness. an absolute compliment beast. i’ve gotten so many compliments from this one today. performance? absolutely amazing for a freshie. i get about 7-8 hours out of this, with fantastic projection, and that’s with just using the sample, although LV sample atomizers are genuinely amazing. only con is the price tag, but honestly after 4 months of careful budgeting, i think i could buy a full sized bottle. i’m at least looking to direct that amount of money for SOMETHING that high end, just not sure yet. but definitely consider this one.
