Is John Galliano Eau de Parfum still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued. While it can still be found through secondary markets and vintage sellers, it is no longer available at traditional retail outlets.
How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+−
The fragrance is known for its potent longevity and sillage, particularly in its original formulation. It often lasts for several hours on the skin and can linger on clothing for days, behaving more like a dense niche perfume than a typical designer scent.
Is this a safe "blind buy" for someone who likes powdery scents?+−
It is considered a polarizing fragrance. While it is powdery, the heavy incense and smoky patchouli notes make it much darker and more complex than a standard "clean" or "baby powder" scent. It is better suited for those who enjoy dramatic floral-orientals.
Does it smell very feminine because of the iris and violet?+−
While it contains classic feminine floral notes, the strong presence of frankincense, cedar, and patchouli provides a woody, smoky backbone that many men find wearable. The community often classifies it as a "unisex-leaning" floral.
