About this deal

Devin, and its sister scent Alliage, have the potential to be the King and Queen of green masterpieces, but sadly it's looking like they will be reformulated out of existence and confined to history by government interference. The Molinard smooths out the slightly off notes of the Aramis product and provides it with a very needed lift. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). The sound of birds, the fresh air of the forest, the tenderness of the raindrops, hand in hand with the lover, everything is beautiful and peaceful. If this frag were to be reproduced or rehashed today I would have no problem with aldehydes if done right like in the opening.

The new version, however, is exactly what I was seeking, a dry but slightly sweet leathery feel, with some galbanum/pine and "dirty" jasmine to give it some contrast and body. There is the fresh and sharp smell of wet leaves, and the beautiful smell of carnation, jasmine, who knows what else. In terms of other fragrances that Devins resembles, I'd say something along the lines of Dior Eau Sauvage, Maison Margiela Jazz Club and By the Fireplace. The caraway and leather combo in itself reminds me of another classic, Eau d'Hermes, which is also a very welcome surprise to my nose.I prefer Havana and 900 a little more than Devin from the Aramis line but I have all three in my regular rotation. So after reading the article " Best In Show Green Fragrances " I saw this as an honourable mention in the choices of Miguel Matos, and today I was browsing in TJ Maxx , minding my own damn business , when BAM Devin , tackled me knocked. Then it quickly settles down into a clean fresh, gentle bouquet of bouncy floral, but un-feminine middle notes. Quick note regarding the vintage vs reform: I paid serious money to get a 100ml vintage spray bottle and interestingly enough i like the reformulation much better.

These gradually fade, making way for middle notes of carnation, cinnamon, jasmine, caraway and pine.

It smells like Devin has left behind the city and the college life, and has a little lake house made of woods. Drydown is its best side, though, and I should add that Devin, when reactivated by a little sweat/activity hours after application, has a lovely musky closeness.

This one is ok, herbal green with animalistic notes, I could smell something like civet although its not mentioned in the notes breakdown. It's not too far from smelling like a variation on the first Aramis, and it's also smelling a bit like Havana. Later that same day tried Halston Z14 and immediately drew comparison, but with the Z14 not invoking the same wave of disgust (wet cardboard rarely does).

I think there is a slight resemble in terms of smokiness, but other than that I don't see anything in common. This one is unique stars spicy herbal sweet i like the opining of it it's like herbal sweet pepper however there is some nots you feel it's hard to tell very will mixed .

There are a number of others Russian Leathers that came out, also notable is the Del Oro version which is similar to the P. Projection and Longevity is average with me but the scent is just so good that I can't help but love it. It's a beautiful and very natural-smelling fragrance, clearly the work of a master, and if you're looking for a perky autumnal fragrance to wear with a sweater, look no further. The first blast is quite sharp and you might be inclined to think that you would not like it initially, after a few minutes the ingredients settle with each other and form a wonderfully fresh scent, as the name implies, similar to a fresh country smell on a mild day (perhaps after some rain). This is an ancient fragrance-signature dating back to Roman times and has been mentioned in perfumery guides since the 1700s.
