1895 Atelier Rebul for women and men

I got a tester last winter and I must say I was disappointed - not at all what I expected. Tried it again during spring and summer but unfortunately, this one just doesn't work for me. The scent is in a way too heavy and if I would recommend it, I would do so for winter & def not for summerish time.
It smells like spice shop in Istanbul - however, I wouldn't wear it as a perfume, but would definitely have it as a scent in house.

Having been on the hunt for a refreshing, spicy cologne, I was curious to try this one. When I finally got a hold of it, I must say I was surprised to find that it's more robust than what I expected. It's strong, spicy, and a bit on the bitter side. The cardamom is a bitter one, not like regular cardamoms found in nature with a unique sweetness to them.
This fragrance has a medicinal vibe for sure, I don't know if it smells refreshing, but I'd say that it captures the aura of a spice store in Istanbul. The flavours and aromas are built over the base of the Atelier Rebul DNA. And this DNA to me is almost nostalgic, reminiscent of the colognes that were dominating the market several decades ago. While it is noteworthy that Atelier Rebul captures and carries that tradition, the memories it evokes in me are not necessarily what I'm on the lookout for. Having grown up in Turkey, I'm not willing to take a walk down the memory lane and go back to the days when these types of colognes were widely in distribution.
But, to do justice to this fragrance: It is a fairly unique, sophisticated, medicinal, good quality perfume with *if you will* an intellectual vibe to it. I'd imagine men over forty might enjoy this fragrance, or anyone that would be interested in a herbal perfume that bears elements from old time Istanbuleti cologne-making trends!

Elegant, tasteful and classy. A cologne familiar yet unique. Perhaps it's the whisper of Santal 33 by Le labo. Opening with the citrus aroma of Bergamot and Mandarin the notes seamlessly meander into a rich neroli with uplifting cardamom and a hint of fig that transport you to a beautiful island, between Southern Europe and North Africa where Hollywood celebrities might hide away in the summer months, somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Great scent reminiscent of a fresh Mediterranean breeze, loads of zesty sharp citruses in the opening and there's definitely a fig leaf note there together with something very earthy, could be a different kind of vetiver (or a synthetic one). I agree with the similarity to Un Jardin En Mediterranee mentioned below, but totally disagree to the "95%" part, which is really not the case - both in terms of the scent and in terms of the blend/quality.

There's both "Cologne" and "EDP" versions and I must say the performance does not make a huge difference. The cologne smells exactly the same as EDP, with slightly lower performance. So price/performance wise cologne would be more than enough for this summer alternative.

it's %95 smilar to Hermes Un Jardin en Méditerranée. Cheap price nice alternative.

It's a sharp spicy, citrus scent, it gives a very interesting, unique herbal aura, a feeling of healing. The Sillage is moderate and the longevity is quite good.
