Before that, the opening is busy with citrus and a herb. Mandarin orange is sweet and juicy, orange rounder and fuller, grapefruit bitter and slightly sulphurous in the good way, and mint cuts across all three with a cold snap. It is a bright, fizzing start that lasts longer than most. That much at the top is generous, and it means the opening does not vanish in five minutes the way cheaper citrus work often does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set pairs the 100ml Eau de Toilette with a 100ml aftershave lotion. The rose is handled as a spice rather than as a flower, which is the trick. Cinnamon is set directly against it, hot and dry and sweet, and between them they turn the rose into something warm and faintly medicinal rather than something pretty. This is the stage where the fragrance earns its name. Leather, patchouli and amber finish it. Leather brings a dry, smoky toughness, patchouli adds damp earth underneath, and amber gives the drydown its glow. The last hours are considerably warmer and heavier than the opening, and they last well. Nine materials in all, arranged in a clear progression from bright to heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven as a set it suits a man who likes his fragrance to have some weight to it and who is not put off by a flower in the list. Winter and evenings are its natural territory. The set presentation makes it an easy thing to hand over, and the scent is recognisable enough that most people will have an opinion about it within a minute of spraying. Poseidon belongs to Instituto Espanol, a Spanish family firm now in its third generation which traces itself to 1903 and manufactures at Hinojos in Huelva.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53493698527559,"sku":"ENG63864","price":33.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/anRZd2QxTm1sT0ZoaXRmTEJXNERESnFVWHhSLzZ6ZTFsdjkzYlFwcVpudDRTRGhUZmc3b1pMb3o5dldzSFppZA2.jpg?v=1773188335","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/poseidon-gold-men-eau-de-toilette-gift-set","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
