TIMELESS 5.0

The house of Scentedelic sets their bar by not only concocting inspired versions of niche frags but also bringing some of the gems which are no longer available or has been reformulated. Timeless 5 is an excellent alt for the discontinued YSL Rive Gauche. This opens with a sharp star anise and citrus profile followed by clean lavender and then dries out on patchouli and oakmoss. Super refreshing and commendable longevity in the Indian humid summers. Truly timeless in creation.

I have tried a lot of very aromatic and barbershop frags, but in a space of Fragrances that scream like Ralph Polo Greens, this cuts through the crowd and makes it presence felt entire day. A tamed beast inside 50ml bottle.

Really well done Fougere. I haven't smelled the original, but this recreation is a classic barbershop fragrance, that dries down to a creamy / powdery lavender that smells divine. I prefer older style compositions (absolutely hate sweet vanilla notes that almost every hyped frag of the past few years seems to feature), and this is right up my alley. Signature scent worthy, when you are a gentleman who does't need shouty or gimmicky scents.
