Happy Friday. Welcome to the first review post of Vetiver en Paradiso.
Had you not read the first two posts, my name is Soren and I will be reviewing one of my old favorites on the board today, a young hipster fashionable cologne by the name of Versace Blue Jeans.
The packaging for this one is very odd. No cardboard boxes to be found anywhere in sight. The bottle itself comes in a hard metal case similar in shape to but harder than a 16oz Energy Drink can. The tin is decorated with a denim texture, and pictures of men in overalls at work and play, advocating a "jeans" lifestyle.
The bottle inside is somewhat small and understated, a decanter-shaped bottle with a plastic imitation lacquer top with the Versace lion embossed on top.
The fragrance itself starts out spicy, sweet, and friendly. It later opens up full-on with masculine woody and flowery scents, and finally lays itself to rest amid notes of sandalwood and musk.
It seems to make me approachable, and lends me many compliments at the hands of the ladies. Quite a good fougere, this one is.
According to Basenotes...
Top Notes: Citrus Cocktail, Galbanum.
Middle Notes: Juniper, Lavender, Jasmine, Violet, Nutmeg.
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Musk.
In terms of longevity it does not last as well on my body as it does on those of others. I've heard of it lasting up to ten hours on other people in the past, but on my own body it doesn't seem to elapse four hours before retreating to a light sandalwood tone.
Packaging: 7/10- Personal Preference. I seem to like the bottle and its outside cylinder.
Scent: 8.5/10- I enjoy it, and it garners compliments.
Longevity: 4/10- Alas it doesn't seem to last on my body.
