No.1 Masculine is an Amber, spicy, powdery scent created for Men in 2001 by perfumer Patricia Choux.
Review
A blend of spices, herbs, and citrus notes are blended with Amber and Musk to create an interestingly debonair scent. It projects a feeling of vintage meets modern and plays with the concept of a masculine floral, leaning towards a green style. It can be worn to the office, but is much better suited for formal occasions or an intimate evening out. It will wear well in all seasons, and will maintain great longevity. It has been compared to Amouage Gold Man and Revlon Charlie. Try this sample and let us know what you think!

Notes
A blast of spices opens this scent with Nutmeg, Cardamom, Pimento Oil blended with Thyme and Artemisia Oil. This earthy blend is then infused with the tart citrus essences of Bergamot, Lime, Mandarin, and Grapefruit, adding an aromatic quality. A warm blend of Sandalwood, Amber, and Musk adds depth and helps with longevity, while Vanilla and Tonka Bean adds a touch of sweetness. A final note of Vetiver boosts the earthy qualities at the top of this scent, keeping them lasting.
