EDITOR'S NOTE

Virile, with a twist.

For the man who wears a pinstripe suit with ease and self-assurance, whose highly sophisticated virility is tinged with artistic flair, and whose ruthless pursuit of seduction is somewhat of an aesthetic endeavor.

This perfume reveals the style behind impeccable appearance: patchouli is the pinstripe suit, with a cocktail of rum absolute and mandarin in hand, for a distinct flavor of late nights in dark corners; like cedar, suede and incense are the underlying sensual pulse, warmed by vanilla in a small acknowledgment of intimacy.

For the polished womanizer.

About the Perfumer: Bruno Jovanovic is a rising star at IFF (International Flavor and Fragrances). Unlike many of his contemporaries, who create at the mercy of fragrance distribution, Bruno has develo ped a technique highly influenced by perfume classics. His ideas for perfumes, however, which often appear as pictures or impressions of daily life in his mind, are similar ones of classic elegance; but his method, which seeks to modernize these images, is distinctly innovative.
