Composition
The 1988 original by Dominique Preyssas: a baroque citrus-herbal aromatic opening with basil, grapefruit and lavender, a floral heart of gardenia, carnation and rose, and a classic base of oakmoss, leather, tobacco, sandalwood and amber. A true gentleman's classic.
To me this smells like 1988 in a bottle — basil, grapefruit, lavender and bergamot opening in a baroque citrus-herbal rush. Fir, carnation, nutmeg, gardenia, rose and jasmine bloom in a grand, old-world heart. Oakmoss, leather, tobacco, sandalwood, amber and vanilla settle into a true gentleman's classic base. It is Dominique Preyssas's original: the gentleman's classic, full and proud. Beginner-friendly — a rich classic that's smooth and dignified.
