Ha! Oh my good god! Who on earth were they modelling that bottle on? They certainly haven’t captured the obesity and orangeness too well.
Currently has a ranking of 1.61 out of 5 on Fragrantica and some pretty scathing reviews so far. From the note breakdown, I’d say this was a pretty generic attempt at a Fougere.
Silver mate. It’s a similar DNA to Aventus but more pineapple/bergamot from the off then more amber musk at the tail end but overall just more smooth and complex.
Edited to say: slight sweet note that balances the above better than AV does
Was intrigued to have a sniff of this walking through town this afternoon; you’re absolutely right, I can’t not smell gin! I must admit I think I preferred the gold to the silver.
Was looking for a suitable upgrade for my wife, who is looking for an alternative to YSL Cinema as it’s being discontinued and they’ve changed the recipe - it does smell amazing but also appears to be quite unique!
Tesori D’Oriente’s ‘Hammam’ is supposed to be very similar to Cinema. I’ve not smelled either of them, so can’t verify, and the bottle isn’t as nice either.
