Review: How to get closer to your heroes... - This is the real deal: this is the original Eau de Cologne. This is the scent worn by Napoleon, Oscar Wilde, Romy Schneider, Queen Victoria to name a few names. Do not make the same mistake as me: the scent produced by licensed makers of this scent are no match for this one from the original manufacturer - their product is cheaper for a reason. The original is a great, timeless, unisex scent. Just ask Rupert Everett.
Review: Don't settle for anything else... - WOW... this is the REAL thing!! Don't settle for anything else claiming to be the same or similar. We first found it when we actually visited Cologne Germany. My wife ran out of it... I tried some US "same thing"s... poor!!! I finally bit the bullet and paid the $90 shipping (seemingly the only way to get the original). I bought 2 bottles, since the air freight charges were the same. My wife was ecstatic. She couldn't believe I had paid that much, but I told her she was worth it. (I'm guessing those two bottles will last a couple of years) I love the subtle smell... I hate most perfumes, my nose is very sensitive. This stuff smells faint & good & lasts all day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and fresh
*by A***N on 26 May 2023*

I really like this. This is most definately unisex. Some reviews said it doesn't last long. I could smell it on my arm hours later although it was more subtle by then. I'd buy it again
