What wearers say
“I got a sample of this with an order and it blew me away. The opening is a little bit of a synthetic chemical mess, but the drydown is something else. I got a compliment within two seconds of walking into a building, which has never happened to me. It's hard to describe, fairly unique, and can be worn year-round. It's an ambroxan, bergamot, vetiver, and patchouli muskiness that is somehow reminiscent of more of a summer version of Oud for Greatness without the oud or Light Blue Forever without the grapefruit.”
“I also own Zenith Noire and they're pretty close. This one is a bit spicier/brighter and makes for an all-year-round wear, whereas Zenith, which is supposed to be a Meisterstuck clone, is more of a moodier scent, most preferably for the winter.This one is "spiky" and smells like ginger or gin with a dry wood base.”
“nan Tribute Blue opens with a refreshing and pleasant cool aroma. When you first test it, a dominant woody nuance comes forward, reminiscent of fragrances like Terathi Blue and Bvlgari Tygar. Its longevity and projection are impressive, especially considering the performance in the climate of Tehran, Iran.”
