Roi Sans Equipage
Henry Jacques (2016)

It smells like a tamer, slightly modern version of original Bugatti.

Good, but not worth the asking price for me.

This is classic, masculine, French perfumery done at a very high level. The opening is aromatic, giving way to a core of tobacco, leather, and amber. One of my favorites form the house.

The best fragrance of anything I've ever smelled....period!

To my nose, the notes pyramid is spot on, but this fragrance is more than the sum of its parts. The quality of the ingredients is unmatched. The blending is pure genius. I am glad to own a bottle, (although it took me some time to convince myself to part with the asking price).

Strong but not overwhelming sillage, 8 hours + longevity on me. Comes with a somewhat cheap atomizer that can be installed on the luxurious bottle in place of the lovely stopper for those who prefer sprays to daubs.

Extraordinary; but at these prices, for those with the income of a mere mortal, it has to remain a special occasion scent. Which is a pitty because it would make a remarkable signature scent for an elegant, mature man.

Crikey!!
This must be popular in the well heeled Masculine circles. A light Citric start. Tobacco, Clary Sage, Patch and Wood. A draw to the Leather. A touch of Jasmine to elegant it all up. Sound simple. Yes, simply sublime.
