Annual checkup. Doc says you smell good. I say Creed Green Irish Tweed. He immediately says "Cary Grant". He tells me he has it at home but has mostly switched to PDM for longevity, since once he leaves home he doesn't re-spray. Pretty cool.

A mean green fragrance. Classy, well put together and got the hermes magic. Doesnt project well now but maybe the sample’s going bad (don’t store them very well). On my buy list but maybe i might choose between this and Loewe Esencia

After four days of testing, multiple side-by-side wearings, and comparing them against a lot of other fragrances in my collection, this is how I would rank them from best to worst: 1. Torino 21 (Xerjoff) This is still the benchmark. The mint, lemon, basil, and green notes smell incredibly natural and perfectly balanced. It is bright, refreshing, and energetic without ever becoming harsh or synthetic. The quality is obvious from the opening all the way through the dry down. Every time I wear it, I’m reminded why it became one of the most popular warm-weather fragrances in the niche world. Longevity: 7-9 hours with moderate projection. 2. Torino 2021 (Montagne) This was the biggest surprise of the group. It captures much of what makes Torino 21 special while maintaining a smooth and refined character of its own. The mint and citrus are very recognizable, and it stays remarkably close to the original throughout the wear. What impressed me most was how well blended it is. Nothing feels harsh, synthetic, or cheap. While it doesn’t quite reach the depth and refinement of the Xerjoff, it gets much closer than many people would expect. Longevity: 7-8 hours with solid projection. 3. Turin 21 (Alexandria Fragrances) Alexandria did a very good job with this one. The DNA is instantly recognizable, and performance is excellent. Compared to the original, it feels slightly denser and heavier. Some people may actually prefer that. For me, it loses a little of the airy freshness that makes Torino 21 so addictive, but it is still a very enjoyable fragrance and one I would gladly wear. Longevity: 8-10+ hours with strong projection. 4. Platine Blanc (AROMATIX FRENCH AVENUE) Platine Blanc is a good fragrance, but when tested directly against the Torino-inspired scents, it simply doesn’t create the same excitement. It is clean, fresh, and easy to wear, but it lacks the sparkling mint-citrus combination that keeps drawing me back to Torino 21. I like it, but I don’t find myself reaching for it nearly as often as the other three.
