Carolina Herrera CH Men Prive Eau de Toilette, 100 milimeter

Product Information

I have a 2015 batch and it mostly sits unused in my collection because I don’t want to use it all and never be able to smell it again lol.

This is a "bad boy leather" fragrance for someone who isn't a bad boy and doesn't own a leather jacket. But they are short-lived, soon after the fragrance is applied, the leather, tonka, and spices will start developing taking the lead of the fragrance as the citruses move towards the back.

It's leathery, added with that whiskey note, has some really nice sweetness, just enough to be inviting and not nauseating. Got a memory of my girlfriend sleeping on a couch on a cold and snowy February day in front of the fireplace, wearing one of my hoodies zipped up all the way up covering her nose. The fragrance feels bold, boozy, casual, commanding, delectable, dense, dry, elegant, energizing, exotic, heavy, high-quality, hot, inviting, leathery, masculine, modern, natural nicely-blended, resinous, seductive, sweet, warm, wild, woody, and very pleasant.

In the following section, we’ll break down Ch Men Privé’s individual notes and accords, which you will discover is an overall woody oriental amber fragrance. This helped me a lot when I first started dating my girlfriend; not only was the scent one of the best for dates but it also has massive mass appeal. Only a series of synthetic wood notes like Twin for Men Azzaro with a sweet synthetic tonka and a leather that is more synthetic than all of them can be felt here. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening favors the citruses, they come across as intense, fresh, and bittersweet. For those reviews that say you need to be wearing a leather jacket and boots to wear this, it is not necessary but it would definitely go with this scent the best.

The whiskey is a featured note, boozy, woody oak, sweet, honeyed, fruity, and spicy; very close is the leather, an intense note, with that gasoline or combustible nuance found in leathery fragrances although without any animalic or offensive roughness. Azzaro Pour Homme Intense EDP is an excellent, sweet, cinnamon, boozy brandy, resinous amber, tonka, and green vetiver fragrance. To me its a mix of dior fahrenheit edt and a touch of bentley for men intense but imagine if those are heavy for you but you love the type of smell, this is a perfect match for you. I’m not sure if I was noseblind from another fragrance, or what, but the next time I wore it I was blown away!

CH Men Privée opens with fragrant notes of fresh and vibrant citrus fruits such as grapefruit, emphasised with a touch of iced lavender, cardamom, sage and red thyme. In everything you read and see, you should always remember that perfumes, like all other things, are a matter of taste.The hype on this is not real, smells like John Varvatos dark rebel with out the ass juice, and also smells like Salvator ferragamo uomo signature just less spicy or balsamic and, smells like Tom Ford ombré leather.

It lasts for about 7-8 hours on my skin with a projection of the first 2 hours, later it becomes a skin scent. This gorgeous fragrance is that rare beast that can be worn by any age group and provoke the same response from most people, . I grew really fond to it because of the crazy memories that I have while wearing this and I might be biased cause of this, but to date I truly believe this is one of the sexiest fragrances that have ever been created, a master piece in the designer sector. For alcohol scents I would rather recommend Pure Malt by Thierry Mugler or Jazz Club by Maison Margiela, because they offer better performance and are a little less sweet in the process. It applies nicely across a large area and you can bring it a little bit closer if you want a precise application.

The relatively poorer performance combined with the outgoing scent profile makes this perfect for a date or evening at the bar, but I really cannot imagine it anywhere else, and not for longer periods of time without reapplying.
