Pros & Cons
- ✅ Sharp but still incredibly enjoyable, sophisticated but not snobby.
- ✅ A total no‑nonsense fragrance that lasts 12 hours with just 4‑6 sprays.
- ✅ An easy fragrance to wear everyday, an easy signature scent.
- ✅ Rich, very balsamic, peppery, fresh patchouli, strong geranium and juicy, sweet oranges.
- ✅ Woody, citrus masculine scent that leaves a fresh and masculine impression on the skin.
- ❌ Updated batches lack the longevity, sillage and projection of the original formula.
- ❌ Discontinued, making the Flacon H line end in 2020.
- ❌ Performance is really poor; I can barely smell it after 3 hours.
- ❌ Sillage wears off after 1 hour of spraying.
- ❌ Not very diffusive in the air; stays close to the skin.
