TWO PROBLEMS... ARNOLD R. 03/28/2003 03:36 AM 3 out of 5 stars
 
MESSAGE BY ARNOLD R.
Hmm. I see that this one seems to be a popular favorite, but I have a couple of problems with it. First of all, it's too sweet -- which gives it a kind of "prissy" quality that I find distasteful. (Although I have smelled worse in that regard; it's not as disgustingly sweet as Angel Men [Thierry Mugler 1996], for instance.) And secondly, there's something "clashy" about having citrus notes and tobacco notes in a fragrance. It doesn't work. I don't mind citrus per se, some of my favorite fragrances have citrus notes (cKOne, Armani, Acqua di Gio), and probably my all time favorite has an unusual citrus blend in it (Halston Z-14), but I think this is the first time I've ever come across that particular combination: citrus and tobacco. It smells wrong. But in spite of all that, it still isn't terrible. You can tell there's some quality ingredients going on, and I can certainly see how people who like the newer stuff dig it. It's just not for me.
