Jesus this is gross. It starts like a 90's sporty "eau de cologne" mixed with a Daim Blond like suede accord. Vaguely salty and a bit synthetic. Then it suddendly pops out a spooky leather-vanillic accord which is just... wrong, halfway between gingerbread and burnt soup. Try to imagine a dry, dark, burnt-rubber leather (safraleine) note mixed with a milky rancid vanillin note. Then this sickening accord fades away again and you're back on the sporty cologne side. Totally disturbing – not in a cool way.

Designer in disguise. I've nothing against designer fragrances but I'm surely annoyed by generic mass market compositions selling at niche prices. Noir Gabardine is a masculine woody citrus with a remarkable oriental vibe and a strong deja vu aspect throughout. I can't actually put my finger on what other specific fragrance it exactly smells like but it resembles of thousands of modern masculines ranging from Gucci Envy For Men to Armani Code Sport.

A sparkling green citrus opening enriched by some ginger and laying on a generic (and slightly harsh) woody ambery base. No more, no less. Anything but distinctive.

Save your money.
