Pros & Cons
- ✅ Absolutely gorgeous aromatic from Xerjoff centered around an incensy citrus. The perfume opens with a citrusy top of bergamot and Italian lemon. The heart has a central incense note surrounded by galbanum, myrtle, basil, lavender and elemi resin. The perfume dries down to a powdery base of patchouli, cedar and labdanum. Like taking a trip to the Italian countryside on a beautiful spring or early summer day. The unisex perfume has moderate to strong sillage and excellent longevity. Devastatingly beautiful. Enjoy!
- ✅ Extremely elegant summer creation, not a screamer..more a warm glow across the skin for many hours, I get a high quality lemon first and foremost..of similar quality to the sparkly opening in renaissance with a touch of basil that almost tricks you into thinking of mint..the blending is exceptional because it isn't all about lemon (I was thinking it would be after a few minutes), a few hours in the basenotes reveal some incense and balmy resins with a slight touch of patchouli ..maybe up until now this is Xerjoffs only classical inspired citrus along with Fiero..Aubres is almost a fougere in some ways but then again it's quite unique, great perfumery tho for sure.
- ✅ A nice juicy citrus scent bolstered with a backbone of mint and spice, and leading to some earthy patch and smoky incense which takes it into the masculine imho. Think of Renaissance if you've tried that but bolder, warmer and more natural greenness behind the citrus and a great smoky heart. A superb fougere style frag, I'll likely pick up a full bottle of this at some point if I spot a decent deal.
- ✅ In my honest opinion the top citrus notes are among the juiciest most realistic impression I have ever smelled spectacular blend along with aromatic elements and use of clean Smokey resins that give this composition a unique character along with a deep complexity I could see this being used as a signature scent
- ✅ Aubres makes we want to go out in the sun, even when the temperature is near record levels. the lemon is to so elegant and overall this has class from top to bottom notes. Chris Maurice knows how to blend scents and this one simply puts most summer scents several levels below this one. Some may not think of incense as a summer leaning note, but here it works exceptionally well. I might just take a walk later as the sun sets as I go window shopping, but really just letting this fragrance wash over me. One of my new favorite summer scents. Well worth a sample and it is bottle worthy despite its steep price.
