I suppose it was only a matter of time, but Lynx have finally jumped on the niche bandwagon with the release of three 'fine fragrances'. Of sorts.
Retailing at just £4 each for 100ml in Boots in the UK, the Lynx Daily Fragrance range still come in familiar metal cans, but these are smaller, more tastefully labelled and, most crucially, are natural pump sprays, not the aerosols we're so used to. There are instructions on the bottle to apply the juice to the neck, chest and wrists, and Lynx also claim up to four times as much fragrance than in their regular deodorants. Having sampled them I can attest to that. I noted good projection and longevity of five hours (and counting) from a single pump. It looks like Lynx are growing up!
The three new scents are Oud Wood and Dark Vanilla, Tobacco and Amber (not Cacao as the picture seems to suggest), and Iced Musk and Ginger. All three were pretty solid, wearable fragrances that wouldn't smell out of place emanating from a designer flacon. In fact, I bought the Oud on the spot.
While not terribly oud-y, it does have a warm, spicy woodiness, underlaid with smooth almost chocolatey vanilla that keeps me going back for another sniff time and again. Think D&G The One Gentleman stirred into a vanilla shake. Any trace of agar wood is fleeting and seems to peel away with the top notes unfortunately, but that's not to be unexpected at this price.
Try these if you can fellow Basenoters, or just buy all three blind because, if nothing else, they're worth every penny of four quid.
