VERMEIL FOR MEN
by JEAN LUIS VERMEIL
VERMEIL FOR MEN
Tobacco and booze and a touch of tang: a fine combination.
The opening is boozy with a touch of citrus, bergamot mainly, and a herbal undertone. After the first hour a very nice, deep note of mildly sweet pipe tobacco takes over, and dominates until the end. It ins partly contributed to by a patchouli impression and is not a dark one, and some violet leaf. It is quite sharp ant times, especially in the beginning.
Throughout the drydown whiffs of ginger are in the background, giving it a nigh-metallic undertone at times. There is a transient admixture of a gentle amber, and towards the end a touch of oakmoss appears temporarily, with touches of a fruity undertone - blackcurrants with whiffs of green, unripe apples.
Overall this scent, released about 1995, for warm autumn days is quite linear but well done, a confident strong scent with good silage and projection. Longevity is decent on my skin - over five hours.
3.5/5
