Woody Ginger

Not what it once was

This fragrance was my absolute favorite last winter. In 3 months I ran the bottle dry because I used it every single day. Unfortunately it sold out before I could restock that winter, but this summer I nabbed some of the new stock, and boy, was I disappointed when the weather got cold enough to bring this back out. What changed? Dossier completely stripped the performance of the base notes. It used to be that with only a couple small sprays, this fragrance would open bright and fresh, and over the course of a couple hours the dry down would transition nicely to a sweet, woody base. Now, 1 hour after a handful of strong sprays the scent is barely a whisper, not transitioning to a nice base, simply withering away. If Tom Ford for men weren't discontinued and hard to find, I would 100% be buying the real thing now. Which is why this downgrade from Dossier is all the more dissapointing. What used to be a magnificient alternative for a beautiful scent has now become the singular sad option for those who still crave the scent. Dossier, you had something good, why make it worse? I would gladly pay a slightly higher price for a quality frag than no longer have the option to get the quality scent.

Smells like cologne.

Unremarkable cologne. Very classic smell. Not bad but not unique.

Eh

It’s okay I guess I wish I tried something else not sure if I’m willing to spend any money on trying another fragrance maybe I picked the wrong one.
