I recently threw myself into the world of designer fragrances, and let me say, it was a hell of a sensory barrage. Being my inception into this world, I am not nearly as critical of run-of-the-mill scents as most of you. Having said that, you don't have to own a cow to know manure when you smell it.
This fragrance was pleasant to both my wife and I when whiffed from a stick, but I made the mistake of buying it before trying it on. Once applied, it makes me nauseous as it most closely resembles cologne you could find at Everything $.99 in a 10 gallon drum. Only more expensive.

Thank you for an extremely entertaining review. I share your frustrations with the contemporary offerings for men's fragrances.

Sitting here on a warm, moist, summer evening, I have to say I find some merit in the dry-down on this fast developing and rather simple scent. Sort of the same way I like a nice scented bar of soap. The elusive “airy” topnotes (any middle notes out there?) did nothing for me. An hour later, I was searching around the kitchen for the cilantro- and there it was, on my wrist! Actually, it's more of a soapy coriander than a fresh cilantro. The drydown is linear, long-lasting, and perfectly enjoyable with the $5/bottle of “Synergy Blanc white meritage” I am drinking in front of the fan….FYI, this is from a woman.

Kevin, after so much hardship I virtually send you many many spritzes of Andy Tauers 'L'air du desert marocain' I am sure that L'air du desert marocain will spritz all the crap right out of your system !! This is so good, maybe the best fragrance for men (and women) I have ever smelled.

*howling with laughter*
The heart-breaking thing is that the gentlemen at my university all wear such fragrances and deem themselves well-dressed, while I conclude from across the room that here is another fellow who hasn't figured out what his nose is for quite yet. I'm doing my part by taking Mitsouko, the Incense series, and Passage d'Enfer around the place, but it's like splashing pigs with rose water, nobody seems to heed. The least they could do would be to learn from better scents!

Monkeytoe: I wish the 48 percent of men who wear these fresh things would instead invest in a big bar of Vetiver Extraordinaire soap and “wear” that! HA!

Lars: I know what you mean…I want to use the FRESH word often in descriptions of scents but fear people will think I'm talkin' “OZONE” or “MARINE”
