The take

What works

  • Floral-animalic-civet composition that's genuinely regal
  • Massive performance — sillage and longevity built for kings
  • A floral fragrance for men done with absolute confidence

Trade-offs

  • Old-fashioned in a way modern wearers won't tolerate
  • Heavy and animalic — not for the Sauvage crowd
