Sandalwood talc and tonka powder settle above the skin, shimmering for hours, both comforting and seductive, sexy Stardust indeed. Still thin, of course, but I prefer it to what I tested 5-7 years back, so I'm thankful for the reviews that built some trust. Its mostly galbanum, tarragon, coriander, with a fair amount of aldehydes, BUT , what makes a difference, all these sour ingredients served to you with very cunning vanilla-musky smile by a waiter with face of Dorian Gray. The original formulation relied heavily on natural sandalwood, which today is almost as endangered as rhinoceros horn or tiger bones.

Top notes are Fruity Notes, Aldehydes, Bergamot, Galbanum, Tarragon and Coriander; middle notes are Geranium, Jasmine, Rose and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber and Cedar. This is not an easy perfume, nor is it for all, but it holds many facets within it note upon note coming up. I would be curious to experience the original formulation, and can only recommend testing before purchase to make sure you really want to play in the Labyrinth that they have created here. In a world where all the best scents and their flankers seem to disappear - I’m thinking of the Mugler A*Men line/flankers - Minotaure stands solidly and confidently ready to fill the gap. Consider it a mix of "Roma Uomo" with a "Le Male" aftertaste (yes, Gaultier's mega hit was strongly influenced by Minotaure) with some of Joop!If you can get the original get it, if you can't then I would still recommend it because the dry down is where Minotaure really kicks off. No doubt due to its emergence in the early 1990's amidst the shift from power scents to masculine fresh-cleans (CK's Eternity, CK's Escape, Davidoff's Cool Water, etc.

If it's mentioned numerous times and with much conviction, I felt it made sense to just go for it, and I am pleased with this 90s fruity tooty, orange creamsicle, dreamy amber. The woody cedar and sandalwood notes merge with the sweet vanilla tonka notes into a well blended creamy scent that works really well on my skin.

I have an earlier Cosmair formulation as it has been stressed over and again that any that followed were inferior. From timeless classics to the latest celebrity fragrances and big name brands you'll find a perfume, cologne or aftershave you'll love at Superdrug.

IT'S warm,rich,powerfull and aromatic oriental-woody-leather-flower-earthy,a trip in foreign,dangerous and far lands were women are not safe. I enjoyed getting to experience Minotaure and wouldn't mind owning it if I happen to stumble upon a bottle.It's not something I think would be worn every day as a general all around cologne, but of other occasions, it would be most welcome.
