Notes: bergamot, lemon, sweet lime, cognac, Asian pepper, juniper berry, cardamom, magnolia, woods, Spanish moss
Opening with sparkling citrus, juniper berry and a slightly boozy note, Gendarme Sky progresses towards a dry spicy mire, before the magnolia adds some sweetness.
There's also an ominous aquatic aspect, but one is unable to bypass its cheap and synthetic detergent aroma. It's actually very similar to those cheap body sprays for men, with a fresh or ice olfactory premise, easily found in pharmacies. During the drydown, the woods are warm and translucent, as the moss manages to prevent the entire composition from falling apart.
Interestingly, Gendarme Sky is very different from its predecessors, largely in terms of its general performance on the skin. But while it's stronger and projects quite well (more than expected for a standard Eau de Toilette), it's completely run-of-the-mill with its woody fresh aura.
Bargain bin Procter & Gamble trash, with a moderately expensive price tag.
