About this deal

It has a very fresh, piney opening that puts you on your guard (too cheap smelling?), but then you soon relax because it develops into something rather classy with a lovely creamy warmth. Overall, this one projects serious business. Dry, masculine and in charge at all times! If you are all about wearing frags that do not sit on the fence, One Man Show timelessly fits the bill 100%. That may sound funny...perhaps even old-fashioned... but, there ain't nothing unisex about this offering. The top notes are very intense, woods and musk with a hint of basil and cedarwood. This beautiful combination is definitely old school barber shop territory, strong and powerful. Middle notes settle in an hour or so later and it becomes pure Polo by Ralph Lauren, yet a lighter, less heavy blend, with a touch more basil and cedarwood. This sweet spot lasts for several hours without being too strong or cloying. The projection on this is fantastic and the fragrance lingers and fills the area around you with an aura of manliness.

Just one spray guys and you're good to go for the entire day. Thats how potent this fragrance is. No pun intended. I cannot imagine what to do with the rest of the bottle apart from use it as a bathroom air freshener. Make-up and skincare services, BrowBar benefit, gifting and personalisation workshop, Sephora offers you a whole range of services to come and discover in store

About

I like it. One thing: others have described this as being "beast mode" and terribly strong, etc. I just got this the other day, and that hasn't been my experience at all. The bottom notes brings out musky tobacco tones and subtle cedarwood, and it lasts and carries very well. The sillage is well above average and projection is very good. With a generous application I am getting 10-12+ hours of longevity with solid performance throughout the day.

i know, not 100% what fascinates me so much about the "powerhouse, vintage, oldschool scents", but they pull me in. Just like this. One Man Show follows the note pyramid to a tee, opening up with with a dry blast of Bergamot, Basil, and Galbanum...transitioning briefly to layer on Rose and Jasmine before closing with Sandalwood, Castoreum, and Cedar. The 85% vintage was never synthetic at all to my nose.Officer Ripley, I am sorry to inform you that the aliens, while trashing our chambers, smashed all of your bottles of One Man Show..." You wore it to our wedding party at the Hotel Kosmos, where there was a bottle of vodka per capita for every guest. You smelled like One Man Show when our daughter started school in Vladimir. And you had that smell on you the last time I kissed you goodbye at Sheremetjevo II Airport in our life together. Middle notes are Pine Tree Needles, Carnation, Nutmeg, Patchouli, Spices, Vetiver, Geranium, Labdanum, Rose and Jasmine;

Macassar is a niche version of Bogart OMS. OMS is sharper and bitter. Galbanum in OMS is the culprit. Macassar is mellower, I guess they replaced galbanum with artemisia but I do smell some galbanum in Macassar. OMG, is this a gorgeous perfume! Saw it online for practically nothing and bought it for hubby to try. It manages to have the notes I love in women's perfumes while being thoroughly male, thanks to galbanum, frankincense and the woods. Will add more details later as I study the drydown but, trust me. Buy it, guys. You'll never be sorry. It's the kind of fragrance that, in my younger days, would have riveted my attention long enough to find out who was wearing it. To be honest I didn't expect that much from this fragrance based on my experience with "Silver Scent" also from the brand which is terrible in my opinion but "One Man Show" really surprised me! Finally Lonja had his own bottle of "One Man Show", because if there was a nomen omen here, I thought, then he definitely needed his personal "copy".

Review of One Man Show

We both know that the shows you liked a lot in your youth can be replaced by other spectacles and performances in the course of your life. The whole performance right from the start till the end is a classic journey so if you're not into classic fragrances in general ... stay away! I'm a big fan of this type of woody/mossy/aromatic old-fashioned masculine fragrances, and this one definitely doesn't disappoint. I agree it has elements of Polo Green and Krizia Uomo. Worth a blind buy any day.

The heart consisted of wood notes, classically male in connotation, not surprising, but extremely sympathetic, without fuss, without disturbing accessories. "Do you wear this a lot?" I wanted to know. "No, only on special occasions. I didn't take him to Germany. That's why you don't know him. My father also sprays himself with it sometimes and we only have one bottle to share." You don't have permission to access "http://www.noon.com/saudi-en/one-man-show-eau-de-toilette-100ml/N11200834A/p/" on this server. I can appreciate the complexity of One Man Show but the smell, ugh. I just can’t do it and I’ve tried, trust me. I found a 30ml original formula of this, decanted some into an atomizer to be greeted with Rochas’ Macassar dipped in motor oil and freshly changed blue porta-potty water, it’s atrocious to say the least. This is nasty stuff. I can’t even say that I’d classify this as old man smelling, it’s just weird smelling as a whole, and also really dark and oppressive, melancholy like, heavy feeling, somber. As the top notes gently fade, the heart of the perfume reveals itself. Here, the distinct, smoky essence of frankincense takes center stage, fused with the exotic, woody scent of Lebanon cedar. Cascarilla lends a mildly bitter twist, while nutmeg and patchouli sprinkle a hint of warm, earthy spice. A whisper of sandalwood softens the blend, infusing it with a subtle, creamy sweetness. Base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Cedar, Styrax, Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean, Coconut, Vanilla and Castoreum.And what are the other scents that stand here?" "Oh, these are Soviet products... i don't know if you like them...". For me, this fragrance isn't about individual notes. Rather, it's an accord to me. And, that accord is... manly!
