About this deal
It isn't exactly a classy scent so I would stay away from wearing this to formal events even though if necessary it could fill the role. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, business, casual, holidays, vacations, romantic, dating, clubbing. It is a masculine fragrance yet, it has a sweet, spicy, intriguing, leathery scent to it that I just loved on my skin.
When I first tested the fragrance I often had to get closer to the sprayed surface because of the bad sillage and durability and then I got headaches quickly.
La nuit de l'Homme from YSL is kinda sorta in the same ballpark, though it lacks the booziness of CH Men Prive.
Top notes are Whiskey, Grapefruit and Pomelo; middle notes are Cardamom, Lavender, Sage and Red Thyme; base notes are Leather, Tonka Bean, Woody Notes and Benzoin. All other accents blended very well and compliment those really dark tones, it has pretty high "unique" factor. Well, I've finally been able to test this fragrance well and hope not to hurt feelings with my review, which promise to be honest and the result, in part, a small disappointment.
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .
The CH Men Privé man has an irresistible charm and knows how to make an impression from the very first moment. This was so addictive to me; however eventually l got burnt out on this one and started collecting fragrances that were higher quality and more refined, so I slept on this one for a bit .You trolls are the reason why Designers can reformulate and turn awesome fragrances into garbage just to save a buck. Its opening is fresh and boozy, because of grapefruit and whiskey, at this stage I feel it in an Aramis Black style, then it becomes creamy and woody, very elegant and with a subtle handling of the leather note. I think this cologne best suits bar/lounge type of enviroment and will do you wonders on a date night. For some time I've had problems finding decant or sample (1-2 ml) of Carolina Herrera CH Prive for Men, from a site/service that will ship to northern Europe.
