I don’t consider myself to be a hype man by any stretch of the imagination, which makes the next statement all the more profound. I believe Envy for Men is one of the greatest fragrances ever made. And keep in mind I’m not saying this out of nostalgia. As far as I remember, Envy was never very big in Australia. The fragrances I remember when growing up were Drakkar Noir, Usher and One Million. By the time I tried Envy for myself, it had been long discontinued.

Over all I was very happy with the perfume oils I bought, some seemed stronger than others so do be careful when applying as they seem to last all day but i enjoyed all the perfumes for different reasons.In fact, what sweetness there is, is only there to stop the tamarisk note from getting out of hand, nothing more.

Save the monopoly money and buy Carven Homme vintage. Much better build quality, in my opinion, as it pumps the breaks on the vanilla.

Aggressive and mean, Envy was a success - because of its faults - and not despite them. And they are what make it so distinctive and memorable. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. And of course it was a big success, which goes to show that a safe perfume isn't always the most lucrative one. It's like green l'Eau d'issey, which is set on a base of scorched earth that clearly derives from Sinan.

The floral is a magnolia bouquet, made sour by sharp lilac, fugitive hyacinth and fake citrus. There's also cold iris and a green accord based on shiny muguet leaf. On the other hand, what is different about Envy is - it doesn't try to smell nice. By flouting the idea that it 'should always smell good' Envy places itself firmly in the difficult - or Expressionist camp - along with some of Roudnitska's work, Sécrétions, Poison etc.
