I would love to smell it on a man too...(the type wearing long white linen shirts and khaki bermudas). I prefer it to portofino, which I don't like at all (too orange-flowery? it reminds me of shisheido's energizing fragrance, which I bought years ago and have neglected after spraying it a couple of times) I guess I’m a bit late for this, but: pondichéry has lots of staying power on me (one day long, although noticeable very close to the skin only), I find it difficult to identify the stated notes, would compare it to Bvlgari’s thé rouge (which I like), but fresher, more cologne-like.

But I was looking sad because I had such high hopes for Pondichery, and it sounds like it might not be what I'd hoped.

I'll try it again then, maybe a sprayed too little of the juice on my wrist. But I'll have to wait until mid August, by then you will have tried your sample and will have graced us with another beautiful review, to which I'm looking forward. I'm realizing by now that my taste is not too similar to yours Robin, but I'm beginning to recognize what I may and may not like when I read your reviews. It's all a matter of learning another language, isn't it, and associating words and images with scents, which are so sensorial and immediate. Ohhh, don’t be sad….

I just got samples recently of Tea for Two and Thé Pour Une Eté and it's nothing like those, and it's not like green tea scents. And Bergamot Tea definitely didn't fill the bill. So for me, it's unusual, but if you have some great lemon-cardamom-tea scents in your stable, you might not think so. To be honest, I’ve been lacking black teas in my collection.
