About this deal

It's fresher than you might think, so you can easily rock this is in spring, but it still has that typical 70's dept fitting for the colder months.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). It does have that musty chemical note that I think is the current cheap oakmoss substitute that I smell in recent Quorum and Polo Green reformulations but it is well tempered by other notes.

The first time I sprayed this it was a bit of a full on scent assault, but subsequently it seems to have settled down quite a bit - so give it a chance if you don't get on with it straight away. It's not a fougere in the rougher sense like a Paco Rabanne for example, it's much smoother and more mellow, with more of a powdered focus of geranium and lavender up front with the classic touches of pine cedar and oak moss and cloves very much lower in the mix. He wasn't a strict disciplinarian but his service days were still evident in the mid 1970s when I was a kid.He must've been given it as a present one Christmas and as soon as I smelled it I was taken back to him wearing it when I was a kid. We though it was like the fresh Spanish cologne that all the young Spanish students wore when they visited our country. Cinnamon, geranium, clove and pine are the followings, while a rich, earthy blend of oak moss, cedar, Tonka bean, amber and musk closes the fragrance, adding exceptional depth and longevity to the fragrance. Geranium, Clove, Pine, and Cinnamon are the middle notes; oak moss, Musk, Tonka Bean, Virginia Cedar, and Amber are the base notes.

The classic aftershave opens with a blend of bergamot, lavender, rosewood, rosemary and clary sage before melting into a spicey heart of geranium, clove, cinnamon and pine. A classic well rounder "safe" fragrance i'm glad to keep in my collection but it's nothing special 3. Because there is no decorative packaging, we can purchase these items for less and pass the savings on to you.I've been wearing this a lot for different activities over the last few weeks in weather ranging from cool and damp to steaming hot. I find the spice pretty non specific, but it does give a decent account of itself in the face of all that soapiness. Settles very quickly with the same top notes existing throughout, not an overly complex fragrance but its simplicity does it credit in my opinion and makes it a good all rounder.

With countries outside of the EU parcels will usually be delivered within 5-10 working days, but on the odd occasion parcels can be held in customs and this can cause some delays. I'm keen on Classic fougere fragrances and this was very much what I was expecting from this and to a large degree it exceeded those expectations because I think Mandate smells unique.Read about this perfume in other languages: Deutsch, Español, Français, Čeština, Italiano, Русский, Polski, Português, Ελληνικά, 汉语, Nederlands, Srpski, Română, العربية, Українська, Монгол, עברית.

Was unprepared for the initial onslaught of cinnamon and herb… but then the carnation heart kicks in and then the dry down! Longevity was around 4-6 hours for me at the most, it actually starts to deteriorate quite quickly after 3-4 hours. Even got a thumbs up from my GF (which is rare, to say the least when it comes to my oldies) And the performance is good.

The earthiness comes out with the pine, and that opens the door to notes of cedar, tonka, oakmoss, and musk. It was first launched in 1976 by design house Shulton, and continues to find new audiences with its charming and timeless aroma. I think that you would be hard pressed to find a cheaper '70s style masculine fougere of this quality but you get what you pay for in terms of projection and longevity. This fragrance opens in a trail of lavender, rosemary, bergamot and clary sage before a spicy heart of geranium, cloves, cinnamon and pine. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates.
