Delightful but cloying in the heat
Opens with anise, lavender, and a powerful vanilla, followed by an old-school carnation and cinnamon in the mid. A strong cedarwood joins the spicy vanilla in the dry-down. Some people praise/complain about a licorice accord, but I don't get that at all. It's sweet, not a gourmand, but I still found it cloying on hot days. Consider that YMMV as I'm located in the Mediterranean where it's a furnace between mid-Spring and mid-Autumn.
Projection is good, and longevity is excellent.
In my opinion, a lot of online criticism levelled at this flanker of Escada Pour Homme derives from sour grapes because rarity made it expensive. If you want to get an idea of what the opening smells like before shelling out big bucks, get the delightful shower gel. The cheaper Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin has a similar vibe, but is inferior to my nose.
Casual Friday wouldn't exist if it weren't for JPG Le Male's success, but I never cared for Le Male's sweet minty powderiness.
Masculinity Level: Ashton Kutcher could wear this.
