Susie hobbled off the Eurostar this week battered, bruised...and bearing gifts! Whilst she could actually walk she found herself at the Fantastic Man Perfume launch party at Colette and fortunately for me nabbed a goodie bag which included the latest issue (a beautiful read but the full review will follow later), scented soaps and the soap itself. I twittered a succinct reaction which is hard for me to better even after wearing the scent for a few days:
The scent itself is slightly feminine at first but after the fruity notes subside you are left with something light but manly...just like me.
Jop Van Bennekom and Gert Jonkers with the help Ben Gorham (founder of Byredo Parfums) wanted to capture the essence of the magazine in a bottle and they have succeeded. Readers of the magazine will know how amazing those pages smell but thankfully rather than capture the actual essence of the magazine the scent revisits the most classic of men's perfumes to create a true gentleman's cologne.

Am itching to smell it! (what a weirdly sickening sentence...)
/Male Mode.
oh wow, is that actually going to be available?
Quit showing off!
It will be available to buy and I'll confirm stockists asap. This fragrance deserves to be shown off because it smells damn good...I waft it in your general direction.
It's a very nice bottle, I like that it is quite simple and not like some of the more recent men's scents that look like over the top paper-weights.
You twitter review is wonderful :D
aint that FAN frigging Tastic, goodie bags always make my day
