Get Bentley Intense if you want a similarly boozy leather fragrance or The One if you want something generally autumnal. CH Men has become a longstanding success due to its delectable combination of grassy notes, sugar and leather. In fact, if you put Le Male Aviator and Le Parfum and layer/mix them, that's exactly what you get here. But mostly all of my collection, going on 100 bottles I can detect the changes, might can't single out the note, but I can smell the changes.

Carolina Herrera CH Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, citrus, green, floral, leathery and woody notes. I recommend for cold weather use, and if you wear with an actual leather jacket or coat it would make one hell of a combo! The benzoin and woody notes are there to provide support, the benzoin adds a noticeable warm, resinous, dense, sweet, and vanilla-like touch.Scentster I have both the red ribbon version (batch 42091 - 2014) and gold cap version (batch C1791 - 2016/17) in front of me. I can't smell any leather however I prefer it to my Bvlgari Man In Black Essence : this more subtile, deep and has definitly the X factor.

For all intents and purposes, pretend the entire “base notes” section, along with the top half of the “main accords” section, doesn’t exist.After having sampled more than 100 fragrances over this period, I am beginning to appreciate the originality of this - it is subtle yet loud, sweet yet bitter, dark yet aromatic. Not so - in other words, if you have the ones mentioned, you end up thinking that getting this is redundant. benzoin, cardamom, lavender, and very nicely done leather turn it into an alluring, very manly scent. If you dont want to reapply, I recommend spraying behind left ear, right ear, back of neck, back of one hand (then rub it onto the back of the other hand), and finally one spray into your hair beyond your hairline, above your forehead. Smells classy, to say the least, not entirely unique, but a true no-brainer scent for colder days, familiar boozy sweet serious but playful at the same time kind of DNA, a warm scent, sits close, decent longevity, for people who like to smell something pleasant in general this is a hit, and I see why it's got the hype it has amongst designer fragrances.
